Andrew David Bayley

A thousand words cant bring you back
We know because we've tried,
And neither will a million tears
We know because we've cried.

You left behind broken hearts,
And happy memories too,
But we never wanted memories,
We only wanted you.

A letter from Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'

'It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.

I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man.'

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night....'My day was not in vain.

And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.'

So if you meet somebody who is sad and low;
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go....
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going....
you're coming here to be with me Xxxxxx

Those we love
are never really lost to us -
we feel them
in so many special ways-
through friends
they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

Andrew you would have loved your send-off. There was just so much love in the air and it was all for you. You were such a huge part of so many lives and we all loved you so much.
You will soon have the angels eating out of your hand.
Love to your Mom & Dad, Neil, Lawrence and Robin and all who loved you.

A world of love and happiness too,
You were my life, my help, my guide,
You were always by my side,
Someone to turn to loving and true,

That was you.

Love and miss you Son

'Never Ever Forgotten'

I feel a warmth around me
like your presence is so near,
And i close my eyes to visualize
your face when you were here,
I endure the times we spent together
and they are locked inside my heart,
For as long as i have those memories
we will never be apart,
Even though we cannot speak no more
my voice is always there,
Because every night before i sleep
i have you in my prayer.

For my Mom ....

I stood by your bed last night
I came to have a peep,
I could see that you were crying
and you found it hard to sleep,
I whispered to you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
its me I havn't left you, i'm well
i'm fine, i'm here,
I was close to you a breakfast
I watched you pour your tea,
you were thinking of the many times
your hands reached out to me,
I was with you at the shops today
you're arms were getting sore,
I longed to take your parcels
I wish I could do more,
I walked with you towards the house
as you fumbled for your key,
I gently put my hand on you
I smiled and said 'its me'
you looked so very tired
and sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know
that I was standing there,
its possible for me to be
so near to you every day,
to say to you with certainty
I never went away,
you sat there very quietly then smiled
I think you knew,
in the stillness of the evening
I was very close to you,
now the day is over.....I smile
and watch you yawning,
and say good night, god bless,
i'll see you in the morning,
and when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
i'll rush across to greet you
and we'll stand side by side,
I have so many things to show you
there is so much for you to see,
be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me ~~~

A Promise to You Andrew .....

Andrew, Hope you arrived o.k, i will always love you and never forget you.

Although our loss is hard to bare,
Today I gained two cousins
I never realised were there.
We will care for Lawrence and Robin
As much as we did you,
They are now part of our family,
I know you'd want this too.

God Bless xx

Andy - 'gentle giant'

Andy, I thought the only way you could ever bring a tear to my eye would be if I upset your niece & you gave me a slap ;o>
Going round Nan Sal's for tea just won't be the same without you treating us to your latest filthy text message.
I'll never forget you cradling my daughters in your arms like a gentle giant & when they're old enough to ask about you in photo's I'll be sure to pass on the stories of 'big uncle Andy's' many escapades.
Have fun up there big man
