John Hendry Brennan (Jock) Creighton

Born: 28 August 1939 Greenock, Scotland.

Died: 12 April 2007 Romford, Essex

God looked around his garden And He found an empty place.
And then He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

*************************

To a Dear Dad, who was loved very much.
A dear dad who I had a special bond with that meant everything to me.
He was a good dad and grandad, and I am especially pleased that everyone says that I am the one that looked like my dad.
People were saying it when I was little and they are still saying it now.
I was with you dad when you had your bad times in the past, and you knew I was there for you.
So god bless you dad,
and until the time we meet again.
love you always

*************************

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.
My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment.

*************************

To Our Dear Grandad,
who we loved and will always love very much.
You were the best grandad ever,
and we will never forget that,
you were a very funny and amusing grandad
and we miss you so terribly much,
we hope to see you in our dreams,
the bestest grandad ever.
Bye grandad,
please look over and one day we will meet.
love you always.

*************************

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

*************************

To My dad
So sorry that you had to leave us so soon,
will miss you so much.
I am glad that I came to see on the Monday
which was a day before Maria's birthday,
and I am so glad that I was able to do
that one last thing you asked me to do
and that was to post a card to cousin Dennis in America,
he was really emotional about the card,
and sad that you have passed away,
will miss you
love your daughter Sharon xxx

To my dad
I hope that you have now met up with Grandson Peter,
who would be coming up to 10 years this July 16th 2007
Love Sharon xxx

Dear Dad,
Today is Sunday the 17th June 2007, and it is Fathers day,
it will be the first one that you have not been around for,
I actually don't like seeing all the fathers day cards in the shops as I know I cant buy you one any more so will be lighting a candle for you, so this will be a very sad day.

John, George, Alana and Alfie never stop talking about you.
You would be pleased to know John is now doing very well at college, he is now having his driving lessons as well. I have a nice boyfriend now who I know you would approve of, he has asked me to marry him but not sure when I want to do it yet. I think that is because I know you can't be there.

I don't really know what else to say as I keep getting upset,
other than I love and miss you.
Lorraine and John (Boyfriend)

We will always love you and miss you,
you could never be replaced,
you were a top grandad, the best ever,

and hopefully you might be with Peter your Grandson by our Auntie Sharon.
Peter would have been ten this year,
we hope one day you will get a message across to us
we have candles here to light for you on
Sunday the 17th June 2007 on Fathers Day,
as we wont be able to send you cards saying
'To Grandad on Fathers Day.
Bye for now Grandad.

To my Dad on Fathers Day,
This is going to be the first Fathers Day that you won't actually be around for in the living world, although I know that you are very much with us in the spirit world, although just not quite made the connection.

I hope that your Fathers Day will be a nice peaceful one where you are now, and I am not forgetting you, as you are very much in my thoughts.

Maria, talks about you often. I came across the dvd that you made of Aaron when he was little and other family pieces on there as well, and I could hear you chatting on there, it was nice to hear you voice.
But I am not sad for you, coz I know you are happy and with peter,

I GUESS he is showing you around.

Happy Fathers Day.
Love your Daughter Sharon, hubby Graham
and your Grandchildren Aaron, Liam and Maria

Dear Dad

Today, the 28th August 2007, is your birthday
and we all miss you so much.

It's the first birthday you have had since you left us in April. Not a day goes by where I don't think of you.

I listen to your music as I have the same taste in music as you, which makes me feel that you are here.

I am glad I have received messages from you and hope to get one when I go to the spiritualist church tonight.

I am so glad that you have come to me when I go there, as that has really helped which makes me believe there is still that connection between me and you.

Love always
Lorraine and John (boyfriend)

You were the best Grandad anyone could have.

Dear Dad
I wanted to let you know that I got married on the 27th October 2007.

I thought I would give it another go as I am happier this time, and I know you would like my choice this time.

I am only sad that you couldn't be there and that you were not alive to see me finally happy.

We got married at the spiritualist church where I have been going ever since you died, because it makes me feel you are around me, and I am very pleased that you have come forward to me and gave me messages and that I have had messages from your Mum, my Grandmother.

Also wanted to tell you that my John your oldest Grandson gave me away on my wedding day and you were mentioned as I never wanted the day to go without you getting a mention.

You would have been proud of John he was all grown up, and Alana and Maria were both bridesmaids.

Please come through for me however much you like, with what ever you would like to mention.

It will always be nice to hear from you.

Love you lots and always.

Dear Dad,
Its now Christmas time and we are all sorry you cannot be here with us, we are all still finding it very hard not having you around.

You were a very good dad and grandad, we all loved you so much.

John George Alana and Alfie are always talking about you
and saying about all the funny things you use to say and do,

I am struggling to cope with the fact you are not here
because I never saw you for a while before you died, and wished I did, but it never meant I never loved you.

I loved you lots, so where ever you are I am thinking about you always,
and would like to see you in my dreams.
All my love now and forever
Lorraine and John
