david home (davy) my dad who left us on the 12th of january 2008 aged 73 born and bred in ashington a snooker player a superb bowler and a truely strong man who fought repeated brain tumours and disablement for 37 years to stay with your wife who devoted her life to caring for you and your 5 children....we all know you fought to stay and mam fought to keep you here but that day we found you had five brain tumours we knew this time it was a fight you could,nt win but the brave person yve always been came out again and you still battled on for 6 month without a minute of complaint it was the rest of us that were crumbling the gap youve left in all our lives is huge we find ourselves now trying to focus on the many happy memories you,ve left us with but its very hard you were the backbone of the family the focus for all of us but the tears still out weigh everything and will continue to do so for a long time even people who had only known you a short time were so astounded by the courage you showed you had such an impact on them in such a short time yours and mams attitude to your ongoing illness was unique it was always faced head on from both of you and you always had her at your side going through everything with you and through all the years of operations and hospitals the two of you could still smile and that to me proves how amazing both my parents are now we,ll look after mam for you call her "how" once in a while which was what you always called her and its things like that that make us smile when we think about you...as your youngest i can say no daughter could ever be more proud of there dad than i am of you and you will always be thought of talked about and remembered xxxxxxx love you dad xxxx marina

so lovely,so brave
I met your son Dave jnr many years ago,and when I first met his family I was treated as one of you immediately. At first I could'nt understand why you were on your hands and knees,going to the bathroom etc.Then I found out why.
You had suffered a brain tumour at a young age,with 5 young kids the eldest was Dave jnr aged just 12yrs. you had an operation to remove it which left you disabled,sadly more tumours appeared over the years and more operations. Although the docs said you would'nt live very long,you proved them all wrong and bravely fought until you were 74. You had a smile on your face always,and it used to humble me.You finally lost your fight on 12 jan 08. Your family loves and misses you so much,and I do too.It was a priviledge to have known you Dave,rest in peace now.
Love Gill and your son Dave xxx
In Sympathy
May the blessings of love be upon you,
May its peace abide with you,
May its essence illuminate your hearts,
Now and forever more .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
thinking of you a lot today dad but thoughts of you in my head put tears for you in my eyes missing you love marina xxxxx
