Clive "Ginger" " Any man who can hitch the length and breath of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with" - Douglas Adams " The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Steff & Sam.. Your father was a shining star in your lives, may his memory inspire you to keep shining bright, even in the darkest of times, and may his spirit continue to guide you both, being a source of strength and inspiration throughout your lives xXx

Clive I loved listening to all your old crazy stories you led a very eventful life. I will miss our little adventures with steff and zavian I think Coldplay was a top favourite. Steff and Sam have done you proud and they always will. Rest easy Clive. Love Christine xxx

Words.... I search for the words, The right words to say, To do you justice, But there is simply no way. There is no way, I could possibly explain, How immeasurably loved you are, Whilst everything is blurred by this unrecognisable pain. This pain - that has not yet fully hit, But lingers right there, Centre of the chest, Somehow, it seems so unfair. I begin to wonder, Is any of this real? Can any of it be changed, These feelings nobody wants to feel. You molded everything I am, And taught me everything I know, For that, I am forever grateful, As I realise, I need to let you go. You can go now, Dad, Let your soul be free, Because you will always be here, Living on within me. Your love for the trees, Nature, and all living creatures, You taught me how to appreciate life, That is one of your best features. I will pass on that energy, With all that you taught me, By believing in the potential, Of all that I could be. I will continue the kindness and compassion, By passing on the love from your soul, From you - to me - and through to my little boy, Because of you our lives are whole. You know you will be forever missed, You were and are loved so dearly through and through, But for now - until we do meet again, I'll say good night, Dad, and I love you. As I sit with you in this beautiful hospice, Music playing and you sing along, To what a wonderful world, By Louis Armstrong. The room is filled with only love, Everything is peaceful and relaxing, Even now, right at the end, You are attempting to carry on dancing. I know you will carry on, Through to your next chapters, Fulfilling your soul, With everything that matters. I have just one wish, That I hope for in the end, That you know how much you mean to me, My father, my hero, my best friend.... 💔

R.I.P. Clive, you will be missed, lovely gentleman All our love Helen,Chris, Mark & Josh xxx
