This is a Memorial created in honour of my Fathers brother Matthew or as he was affectionately known to all Big Matt, My uncle Matt was a great guy, forever the clown but never the fool, always laughing and joking, and playing tricks on us when we were kids, i used to love it when he came to our house when i was a youngster because the whole house lit up with his presence, and he was forever tickling us or telling us some funny story that would have us in stitches, his one liners were second to none, a great guy who will be sadly missed by us all. He was married to my aunt Isa a great wee woman whom he loved to wee bits, they had a daughter Lorraine that is truly the most wonderful person that you could ever wish to meet, she is a cross between Big Matt and wee Isa, funny as hell, but sensible as well, he also had two lovely grandchildren that he adored Marc and Grant, 2 lovely boys by all accounts and a credit to their Mum Lorraine. Matt had retired for a few years and was a keen gardener a hobby he took great pride in, he also done the odd wee job in Ralston and other affluent areas just for a couple of quid or beer vouchers as he would call them haha, he was a great swimmer and enjoyed his days at the swimming pool and it was on one of these trips to the baths that he slipped and banged his head, he was taken to the local hospital and diagnosed as having a "urine infection" which they said caused the dizziness and headaches, how wrong a diagnosis this turned out to be as he was later diagnosed as having a tumour on the brain and that was what was causing the headaches and dizziness, he was admitted to the ACCORD hospice a few weeks later, and the care and attention he was given there was absolutely brilliant what a contrast to the R.A.H, On the 9th of December 2005 he lost the fight and died peacefully in his sleep with his ever so loving family by his side. he was a great man and will be truly missed by us all, friends and family alike but most of all by my aunt Isa and his daughter Lorraine who absolutely adored him, and not forgetting Marc and Grant, whom he adored. Rest in Peace Matt we will love you forever
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what's true.
One life can make the difference,
You see, You did make a change
to a lot of people !!!!

An Angel kissed my tears away today
when I was feeling sad.
I wasn't feeling quite myself
my day had been so bad.
I felt a warmth brush by me
that quickly dried my tears.
A gentle, kind, and loving touch
that seemed to hold me near.
Immediately, I felt so much better
and the day seemed brighter too.
I guess that's just the way you feel
when an Angel comforts you.

♥ Friendship....
A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend .....
with lots of love to u from Me

Heaven is a Special Place
❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃
There's a very special place
beyond the skies above,
Somewhere very Special
That is full of Live and Love.
❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃
That Special place is Heaven
Where you're free to laugh and roam,
It was Your Time to go there
So the Angels took you home.
❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃
And Although you're in our Thoughts
each single day throught the year,
At Special Times like Christmas
We all wish you could be here.
❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃❃
Now You're in A Better Place
Your Soul is laid to rest,
Safe with All The Angels
For They only take the best.

Missing You Uncle Matt x
You’ve just walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.

A Poem By Michael Mack
Tomorrow smile at someone
That you've never seen before.
Take time to think of others that
You feel compassion for.
Tomorrow tell somebody
How they brighten up your day.
Let random acts of kindness
Put your feelings on display.
Tomorrow hug your children
Somewhat tighter than before.
Be sure to think of all the things
You can be thankful for.
Pat your dog a little longer.
Hug and kiss your husband/wife.
Thank your God for granting you
Another day of life.

♥ If we could wish upon a star ♥
♥ we would wish for you back here ♥
♥ we know you're happy where you are ♥
♥ But we miss you and want you near ♥
♥ Although we see you everyday ♥
♥ In our thoughts and in our dreams ♥
♥ we miss you more than words can say ♥
♥ It just gets worse, it seems ♥
♥ we try to be strong for others around ♥
♥ But all we want to do is cry ♥
♥ we just sit for hours by ourselves ♥
♥ And ask the question 'Why'? ♥
♥ It's the strongest pain we've ever felt ♥
♥ we don't think we could describe it ♥
♥ Although we try, we do our best ♥
♥ we don't think we can hide it ♥
♥ our lives will never be the same ♥
♥ That's why it's hard to bear ♥
♥ Because since the day you left us ♥
♥ we think life's so unfair ♥
♥ Some things seem not to matter now ♥
♥ Even things that mattered before ♥
♥ You have no idea what we would give up ♥
♥ To make this pain less sore ♥
♥ People say we'll meet again ♥
♥ And yeah we know that's true ♥
♥ But we wish it didn't have to be this way ♥
♥ Because you know how much we miss you ♥
♥ we love you with all our heart and soul ♥
♥ And there's one thing you need to know ♥
♥ There's not one person in the human race ♥
♥ That could ever take your place ♥
