My Grandad was known as Wullie to all who knew and loved him. He was taken so suddenly and left a space in our lives. He had a massive heartattack, even though he had no health problems.

My granda would have done anything for anyone. I felt like we had loads in common, we liked the same books and he introduced me to new writers. He never judged me, he was always there for me and he did a lot.

He left behind grandkids, Michele, Christopher, Claire, Janey, Cammy, William and also ben, kirsty and Elaine. He also had one great grandaughter Peyton who he adored and she adored him. He now has a great grandson rhys who he never got to meet or know about.

He also left behind his wife Betty and his mum, sisters and brothers and 3 children.

Things I will always remember about him is that he called me toots, he wanted Peyton to be called Esmerelda(inside joke)or euphemia, he was a joker with selective hearing. Tunnocks teacakes, we used to argue over them and he would pretend to try and take them from me.

He was born in Bellshill, attended Bellshill Academy, was and ambulance driver a great husband, dad and grandad, uncle, son, brother and friend.

Not a day goes by where i dont think of him, I wish he was here beside me.

Miss him so much x x x

You never said im leaving,
You never said goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knew why.

A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would of died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place,
That only you can fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
As part of us went with you,
The day God took you home!

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms.. I have you in my heart.

Still hard to believe you are gone, no warning to give us that last little piece of precious time with you. I just wish I had been given that last chance to tell you how i felt
