DARREN CARL BALMFORTH aka BARNEY xxxxxxxxx BRAVE TIL THE END. xxxxxxxxxxx
Darren was sadly taken away from us on the 18th october 2008 after a short battle
with cancer he passed away peacefully surrounded by family at st.gemmas hospice.Darren was diagnosed
with cancer in April 2008 after going to casualty,which was a big shock as he was a healthy young
man. We married in the H.D.U in St James hospital in April as he was ill and the doctors told us if
Darren went into Cardiac arrest,they wouldn't be able to revive him.Darren had a course of
chemotherapy to prolong his life,but sadly he lost his brave fight for life after just six months.
Darren loved playing computer games and listening to music especially Oasis and Ian brown.He was a
fan of The Sopranos .Darren played golf with our son . Darren was a big Leeds United fan ,he went to
matches with our son when he could.We always said we would grow old together,but sadly how wrong we
were,in time we will be together again.Darren and I got together 12 years ago after disasterous
relationships,i had given up,but then i met Darren and its true there is your perfect soulmate out
there and I had found it in Darren,we were constantly by each others side,only twice when i went
abroad with the kids and Darren wouldn,t get on a plane,I jokingly called him Mr T (I aint getting
on no plane)lol,but both times i was away all i could do was miss him, i wasn,t homesick,i was
Darren sick.Darren was the funniest person i have ever met,he had me in stitches all the time.I have
never met a better person than Darren,he was genuinely a nice person which nobody could ever say a
bad word about him.I can,t believe Darren has been taken away from me,my heart is ripped to pieces.I
want to thank you for coming into my life,which should of been forever,but what time we had together
is precious and full of happy memories and thankyou for taking the kids as your own you'll always be
daddy to them. I love you Darren with all my heart,always have and always will.Until we are together
again,you'll never be off my mind.Love your wife Carla xxxxxxxx

DARREN BALMFORTH My darling Darren,
Since you’ve gone first and I remain,
To walk the road alone,
I live in memory’s garden, Dear,
With happy days we’ve known.
Since you’ve gone first and I remain,
One thing I’d have you do,
Walk slowly down the path of death,
For soon I’ll follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
That I may know the same,
For some day, down that lonely, road,
You’ll hear me call your name.
Your loving wife, Carla

We'll Never Say Goodbye

I cannot see you with my eyes
Or hear you with my ears
But thoughts of you are with me still
And often dry my tears
•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•

You whisper in the rustling leaves
That linger in the fall;
And in the gentle evening breeze,
I’m sure I hear you call
•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•

A part of you remains with me
That none can take away
It gives me strength to carry on
At dawning of new day.
•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•â—˜♥â—‹~•

I think of happy times we shared
And then I softly sigh
But this I know-- we’ll meet again
And never say goodbye

I NEVER SAW YOUR WINGS

How is it that I never saw your wings
when you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
to the Heavens I could hear the
faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multicolored wings
surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.
My Husband, my angel God has given you your assignment
always my husband forever my angel.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away
the tears I shed since I can no longer hold
you in my arms but in my heart.
You earned those wings dear Darren
and you will always be me angel eternal.

If Your Knew
If you knew where I am standing
If you could see the sights I see
If you could hear the angels singing
The songs they sing eternally
If you knew the One I'm holding
Could see the smile He smiles at me
If you knew where I am resting
You would not cry for me

I'm resting in the arms of Jesus
No other place would I rather be
So if you shed a tear
Please don't shed it for me
For if you knew where I am resting
You would not cry for me

*♥*
Imagine if you would, the clouds floating by,
They are not really clouds, but angels in the sky.
*♥*
With beautiful smiles upon all of their lips,
They drink from the fountain of life with refreshing sips.
*♥*
And imagine the glows on each smiling face,
Because there is no hatred up there not even a trace.
*♥*
They have golden halos atop glimmering hair,
Plucking stars from the heavens to use for their chairs.
*♥*
They wear gowns made of stardust trimmed in silver and gold,
Each one is ageless living in a home where they never grow old.
*♥*
Do not be surprised when the clouds are not clouds any more,
But the angels sent by Jesus to hold open heavens door.
*♥*
Smiling as they say, "Jesus wants you to come in,"
"He loves you so much He died for your sins."
*♥*
Are you looking at the clouds as they slowly float by?
Hey! Those aren't really clouds, they're angels in the sky!
*♥*

~♥~ Our Guardian Angels will speak to us
in many different ways ~♥~

~♥~ They'll whisper joy from a bird's song
or wind through a majestic pine ~♥~

~♥~ Or laugh amid the rolling clouds
in a joyous thunder clap ~♥~

~♥~ Or whisper love through a turtle dove
or from a puppy's joyous yap ~♥~

~♥~ So listen closely to every sound
that might come your way ~♥~

~♥~ It could be your angel saying,
"Have a Wonderful Day." ~♥~

My Heart Will Go On
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.
Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone.
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold you
In my life we'll always go on.
Near, far wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more, you open the door
And you're hear in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.
Will Jennings

Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.
