William John Reid (Bill) was born on 12 August 1930 and sadly passed away on 30 January 2007 aged 76 at the Lister Hospital, Stevenage, Hertfordshire. He had been ill in hospital for nearly 8 weeks. Lots of his family were by his side for his last breath.

He was a fantastic Father, Brother, Uncle, Grandad & Great Grandad. He is greatly missed for his 'Just a quickie' phonecalls, remote controls for everything, the lovely QVC presents, and his sense of humour. We all said our final goodbyes to him on 9 February 2007 at 9.30am at Harwood Park Crematorium, Stevenage. He had a fantastic send off which he would have loved. Bagpipes were played before the service, and 5 white doves were released by his granchildren after the service which were beautiful.

Happy Birthday Grandad

Hi Grandad. Happy Birthday for yesterday. We all went up the crematorium with flowers and to feed 'Grandad Bill's Fish'. Then we all had chicken and chips back at mine. Hope you had some to. Hx

Memorial Plaque

Hi Grandad. We are putting up your memorial plaque soon. Ian and Mum are just sorting it out. We choose a lovely spot by the waterfull. Its beautiful over there. We can sit and watch all the birds, and the flowers. Samuel loved feeding the fish in the pond to. You will love it. I miss you so much Grandad. Wish you were still here. But I know you are no longer in any pain, and can use your magic wings to fly round after Ebony, and to keep an eye on us all. Love you, Hayley xxxx

i will never forget you and i still love you

feel you in the morning
When at first I awake
Your thought is with me
With each decision I make

You'd been around forever
Since the first breath I took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look

Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever

Although you've left
And now walk above
I'm never alone
I'm wrapped in your love

Enjoy now your long waited reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
Cause you live on in me even after you've gone

Missing You

Missing you Grandad, know you are keeping an eye on us all.
We are taking good care of your beloved Snowy . He still gets up to naughty things, no changes there. He stole the jaffa cakes off the side and took them out in the garden.

Behave yourself Grandad

Wish I could call you

So wished I could phone you last week. I had a few tears for you. You would have thought our little episode with potty training was so funny. I know you would have been watching over us laughing your head off.

Tears

Tears
Dry your tears
Please dry your tears and laugh again,
Let go your hurt, release your pain,
Accept that my time on earth was complete,
My lessons all learned, some bitter some sweet.

Envisage the me, who was healthy and strong,
Dont hold the memory of where it went wrong,
Know that the place where I am feels so right,
I'm surrounded by love and bathed in white light.

Dont cling on to heartache and think I'm afar,
For I stand by your side wherever you are,
In your joy and your sorrow, every night, every day,
Im there with my love, just one thought away.

Step into the sunshine, come out o the rain;
For me dry your tears, for me laugh again
