Cyril FrancisKIRBYFrank Born 17/07/1934 in Hartlepool, passed away peacefully at North Tees Hospital on 7th July 2021, aged 86 years old. Retired now, Cyril previously worked as a Senior Systems Analyst at ICI, Billingham. Survived by his Wife Margaret, Son Paul & Wife Carole, Daughter Melanie & Husband David and Grandchildren Curtis, Ryan, Ethan & Annie. Sorely missed by all your family, you have been the best husband, dad and grandad and we rejoice in the happy memories and love you have brought to all our lives. COME WITH ME God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So He put His arms around you And whispered 'Come with Me.' With tearful eyes We watched you suffer And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, We miss you more each day, Life doesn't seem the same Since you've gone away. When days are sad and lonely And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper 'Cheer up and carry on.' Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say 'Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping We'll meet again some day.' You never said 'I'm leaving', You never said goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knew why. A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. A celebratory Mass will be held at Holy Rosary Church, Billingham on Thursday 22nd July at 10am, followed by interment at Billingham Cemetery at 11am. There will be refreshments after at Billingham Catholic Club for anyone wishing to attend. Family flowers only, however, donations in lieu of flowers can be made online to Dementia UK.
