CLARKE JOHN In proud and loving memory of my beautiful devoted daddy who’s 17 years from home on Friday 12th November I wish that Heaven had visiting hours, so I could show up and break the news that they’re getting older and I wish that you’d met them. The things that they learn from me, I got them all from you. So much has changed since you’ve been away, I wish that Heaven had visiting hours so I could swing by and ask your advice. What would you do in my situation, I haven’t a clue how I'll even raise them, what would you do? Cause you always do what’s right. Can we just talk till all my worries disappear? I’d tell you that I’m scared of turning out a failure, you’d say “remember that the answers in the love that we create”. So much has changed since you’ve been away, I wish that Heaven had visiting hours and I would ask them if I could take you home, but I know what they would say, it’s for the best, so I will live the way you taught me and make it on my own. I will close the door but I will open my heart and every one I love will know exactly who you are cause this is not good-bye it’s just till we meet again. So much has changed since you’ve been away, daddy, I can’t believe it’s 17 years from you had to leave us all, so many times I have just needed my daddy, I miss you more than ever please stay near always. Your youngest daughter Alicia xxx.
CLARKE John Although we’ve never seen you dai, we know just where you are, by day you are the sunshine, at night the brightest star. We just haven’t met you yet. Your grandsons Séan-Michael and Jack xxxxx.
