William Henry Smart (Bill) to most of his friends was born in the year the Titanic sunk 1912. On
August 7th. He passed away on August 8th. 1992. The day after his 80th. birthday. That is 16 years
ago today. And he is missed as much now as he was then. He had several brothers, and one sister,
Mary. He had two sons, Harold and David. Sadly, David passed away, so he is now with his mum and
dad. He was married to Ethel for quite a while but sadly she passed away and Dad not being the sort
of man who liked living alone, met and married my mam, Edna on 10th. June 1972. They were married
for 20 years before illness took my Dad home again. He was my step-dad but I couldn't have
asked for a nicer man to be my "Dad". He looked after me and my son, after my son was
born.
He worked at Irlam Steel Works for most of his working life.
He loved nothing better than a pint and a bet and a game of Bingo. He also enjoyed watching and
playing green bowling. He also always found any bargains that were around, he loved nothing better
than being able to say that he had got this or that for next to nothing. His favourite holiday
places were Weymouth and Rhyll.
We don't talk about him as often as maybe we should, but he's never far away from our
minds. We miss him so much.
God Bless Dad. Happy Birthday for yesterday (7th) and for your anniversary today (8th). Hope you are
happy. xxxxxx
"I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE PERSON FROM SHEFFIELD THAT PUT THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURE ON DAD'S
PICTURE GALLERY. More pictures will be added shortly. Thank you sooooooo much
So many years ago,
you told me things
that would help me so,
I tried my best
to keep to them,
sadly I had to let go.
I go to another home
to make my life
and hopefully
life can return to as before.
Love you Dad xxxx
Sometimes what we want is not what we need.
***********************************************
“The Best”
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
and He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
we miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
and everything goes wrong,
we seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
Each time we see your picture
you seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
we’ll meet again someday!”

TRIBUTE FOR TUESDAY,SEPTEMBER15 2009
Gone Too Soon
G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,
T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,
S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,
Gone too soon but remembered every single day.

Each day as I awake,
different thoughts go through my head,
I never think of you,
with bad thoughts.
Whatever you said or did,
was always for my benefit.
I never appreciated it then,
but I see it so clearly now Dad.
I miss you so much, somedays it's hard to carry on without you. But I know that you are happy where you are, I just wish that it didn't hurt my heart so much.

FEELINGS OF ME
No one knows how it feels to be me
Like a river my tears flow fast and free
As people walk by me I wonder what they see
Certainly not a person whose happy or carefree
At night I close my eyes & to god I make a plea
To give me strength to let the anger go away in every degree,
So that I don't have to live the rest of my life in a fantasy,
Where I dream that I live everyday in perfect harmony.
� Jody Mark
I am a tiny angel
I am a tiny angel... I'm smaller than your thumb;
I live in peoples pockets, that's where I have my fun.
I don't suppose you've seen me, I'm too tiny to detect;
Though I'm with you all the time, I doubt we've ever met.
Before I was an Angel...I was a fairy in a flower;
God, Himself, hand-picked me, And gave me Angel power.
Now God has many Angels That He trains in Angel pools;
We become His eyes,ears,and hands,we become His special tools.
And because God is so busy, with way too much to do;
He said that my assignment was to keep close watch on you.
Then He tucked me in your pocket, blessing you with Angel care;
Saying I must never leave you, And I vowed to stay right there!
LOVE FROM BABY ANGEL MARK X

"Missing You"
It's your Grandson Paul's birthday today Dad. And he'll be sharing it with you and your son David in heaven. He would have been 50 today. It's hard to believe that it's been five years since he came to be with David, you and his Grandma Ethel.
I hope you have a good day together and please think of us .
I miss your wisdom and your sense and long for a hug.

"My Heart"
On days like these, you're never far..
..from what I think or do.
But then again, there's never a day when...
..I don't think of you.
You're always in my mind and life, and so...
...I carry you around each second and I always know..
..that you're here with me always.
My heart is yours, as yours was mine.
Love and miss you so much DAD. XXXXXXX Love to David xxxxxxxx
"My Guiding Light"
Hello Dad, I'm sitting here writing this and the words just seemed so hard to say. I feel I've let people down Dad, and I can't seem to see the light anymore. You were always my guiding light and told me when I was going the wrong way. In everything I always knew YOU were there. I miss you so much Dad, sometimes life seems too hard to go on. Now Lindsay has left home and I feel my place has gone with her. I know I should use this as MY time now, but she's only just gone and it's all new yet. Maybe I'll get use to it. But my children were my life and now they are both in their own places. Stay close Dad. Love you.
