Paula Stead, was taken from us in a tragic hit and run accident on Thursday 21st September. She leaves behind a loving daughter Bridie aged 11 and husband John. Paula will be missed by everyone especially her many loving friends and family.
Paula was my best friend for seven years, she was a bubbly, happy-go-lucky person we were like sisters. Paula lived a simple life and was very hard working; she worked at two places, Vaughan and Associates Dental Practice in Merle Terrace, as a cleaner and as a dinner lady at Southmoor Community School. The kids loved her as did everyone. x
on behalf of paulas husband john we would like to thank everyone who has either looked or left a message on this site ..your messages have touched the families hearts knowing that so many people care .
ANGELS ARE ALWAYS THERE
LEIGH ENGEL
∗
Surrounding you are angels,
They are there to guide your path,
If weakness overcomes you,
They'll give you strength if you will ask
∗
They are your protection
When life seems too hard to bear,
And though you feel alone at times,
The angels ... they are there.
∗
Their faces may be hidden
And their voices you might not hear,
But they are ALWAYS with you,
Through your laughter or your tears.
∗
They'll walk along beside you,
They'll guide your steps along the way,
They'll comfort you and hold you,
Protect you night and day.
∗
They'll hold to your hand tightly,
They'll not ever let it go,
And they'll gently lead you forward,
Taking each step very slow.
∗
For even as you slumber,
They watch closely over you;
They are there beside you
In each and every thing you do.
∗
When life is overwhelming,
And your spirit has grown tired,
Know they'll be there for you,
To uplift and to inspire.
∗
And when you're torn and lonely,
And you see no hope ahead,
Know that they will nourish you,
Your spirit will be fed.
∗
And if there comes a time in life
That your heart has been broken,
Hear the words, "I'm here, my child,"
And know your angel has spoken.
∗
For even in the darkest hour,
When all of hope seems gone,
They'll give you strength to live your life,
And desire to go on.
∗
And if your faith in Heaven,
Should ever fade away,
They'll help renew your spirit,
And help you find your way.
∗
Even though you're ever filled with doubt,
About the life you live,
Know that they are there to give you
All that they can give.
∗
They'll help you in your times in need,
They'll wipe away your tears,
They'll show to you compassion,
They'll calm your raging fears.
∗
They'll hold your hand and direct you,
Should you fall from your path,
They'll lift you up to steady you,
All you need do is ask.
∗
For you see, the Father sent them,
Because to Him, you mean so much,
That He sent them "just for you," my friend,
And your life, they will touch.
∗
For when you were within the womb,
The angels were selected,
To guide you through your lifetime,
To ensure you were protected.
∗
They will always be here,
They will "never" leave your side;
And upon their strength and guidance,
You always may rely.
∗
For even when the time comes
For you to say "goodbye,"
The angels will be with you,
They will lift you to the skies.
∗
From the time you were conceived,
Until the time of death,
The angels, they are with you,
With each and every breath.
∗
And nothing is too difficult for you,
My friend, to face,
For you have been presented with
A gift of our Lord's grace
.
∗
He has given unto you
A protector that is there,
To share your burdens with you,
With Heaven's utmost care.
∗
And no one knows you better,
Than your angels know you, dear,
For every day that you have spent on earth,
They, too, were here.
∗
Take comfort in their guidance,
Draw strength from up above,
And know that their sweet presence,
Is God's precious gift of love.

DON'T CRY FOR ME
PEARLIE DUNCAN WALKER
♥
When I'm gone; don't cry for me
I am not dead; I'm in sweet eternity
I'll live forever; I'll wait for all of you
When it’s your time; it’s what God would have us do.
♥
He called my name; He said come home
I did not die; please do not cry; I will no more roam
I'll be by our Savior forever; soon, you too
We’ll walk in the light; praising God in all that we do.
♥
Do not mourn for me; I have sweet victory
I'll walk in Gods’ garden; and glories see
I am not dead; He set me free; an Angel called to me
Its beautiful here; Heavens’ full of cheer; you'll see.
♥
I did not die my love; I only went ahead
I knew you’d understand; though I know this, you'll dread
That will pass too; do all God would have you do
Maybe up there God will let me have; a glimpse of you.
♥
I did not die, so do not cry; I'll meet you here one day
Jesus will send an Angel to bring you to me; all the way
Our love is sure; our hearts are strong
I did not die, so please don't cry; I am home.
♥

Across the years I will walk with you
In the deep green forest, on shores of sand
And when your time on Earth is through
In Heaven too, you will have my hand

Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears.

It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.

My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know.

My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.

I am an angel feather,
Sent from God above,
To serve as a reminder
Of His most gracious love.
♥
I'm from your guardian angel
That God assigned to you,
I fell out in the struggle
As your angel guarded you.
♥
Each time you almost stumble,
Each time you nearly fall,
Thank God and all His angels
For answering your call.

To know their Closeness.
To feel their Strength. and great Love.
Is a Gift God gives us.
To feel an Angel's Breath
To know pure Light.
To feel Protected.
Is like a hug from God.
To feel an Angel's Breath
To know Joy.
To feel at Peace.
Is to make us aware God is watching.
To feel an Angel's Breath
To know Heaven Exists.

They are all gone away,
The house is shut and still,
There is nothing more to say.
♥
Through broken walls and gray
The winds blow bleak and shrill:
They are all gone away.
♥
Nor is there one today
To speak them good or ill:
There is nothing more to say.
♥
Why is it then we stray
Around the sunken sill?
They are all gone away.
♥
And our poor fancy-play
For them is wasted skill:
There is nothing more to say.
♥
There is ruin and decay
In the House on the Hill
They are all gone away,
There is nothing more to say.

When the chant was done, and lingering
Died upon the evening air,
From the hill the radiant Angels
Still were listening there.
Silent came the gathering darkness,
Bringing with it sleep and rest.
Save a little bird was singing
Near her leafy nest.
Through the sounds of war and labor
She had warbled all day long,
While the Angels leant and listened
Only to her song.
But the starry night was coming
When she ceased her little lay,
From the mountaintop the Angels,
Slowly passed away.

♥
Angels of light, spread your bright wings
And keep near me at morn.
Nor in the starry eve, not midnight deep,
Leave me forlorn.
From all dark spirits of unholy power
Guard my weak heart,
Circle around me in each perilous hour,
And take my part.
From all foreboding thoughts and dangerous fears,
Keep me secure.
Teach me to hope, and through the bitterest tears
Still to endur.
If lonely in the road so fair and wide
My feet should stray.
Then through a roughter, safer pathway guide
Me day by day.
Should my heart faint at its unequal strife,
O still be near!
Shadow the perilous sweetness of this life
With holy fear.
Then leave me not alone in this bleak world,
Where'er I roam.
And at the end, with your bright wings unfurled,
O take me home!

My anchor has lost its hold
I am adrift
My boat is going where it will
The sails are tattered and torn
The sea seems enormous and uncharted
It throws me hither and thither
Into the deepest, darkest trough of despair
Then up into the sunlight and for a while there is hope
Then back again into the darkness
Will my little craft be overwhelmed?
As the huge waves of grief engulf it, will it come up again?
And again and again?
They say 'time heals…
'
Can my little boat be trimmed out with new sails?
Can it sail again into a calm harbour and put down its anchor?
Can the navigation system be mended, so I know where I am going?
In time, in time…
but not yet.
This storm has to be passed through, and then a time will come to re-enter the harbour and return to still waters.
