John FrancisMADDENBorn 04-10-1944 - Died 31-01-2024 Aged 79 Years
My John passed away suddenly in Broadgreen Hospital with his loving family at his side.
You went before your time. You were my first love, my rock to lean on. I will never get over you, I will love you 'til I join you. We always said in the morning and at night "Good Morning / Good Night God Bless, Love You".
Beloved husband of Agnes, devoted Dad to John, Michael and Joseph, much loved father-in-law of Jude and Jackie, loving Grandad to all his grandchildren & great grandchildren, of whom he was so very proud.
You are with your Mum, Dad, brothers Michael and Joseph, and sister Mary. John will be sorely missed by all his family and friends.
Your ever loving wife Agnes, God Bless, Love You x
Don't cry for me now I have died, For I'm still here by your side, My body's gone but my soul is here, Please don't shed another tear, I'm still here I'm all around, Only my body lies in the ground, I am the snowflake that kisses your nose, I am the frost that nips your toes, I am the sun, bringing you light, I am the star, shining so bright, I am the rain, refreshing the earth, I am the laughter, I am the mirth, I am the bird, up in the sky, I am the cloud, that's drifting by, I am the thoughts, inside your head, While I'm still there, I can't be dead.
Dad, you are gone but not forgotten, Life's cruel and sometimes rotten, But then we will remind, Of a man whose love was kind. A man both gentle and strong hearted, Though sadly now has departed, You meant the world and more, And forever we'll adore. It's hard to find the words to say, But dad, we'll miss you every day. From Joseph, Jude, Cameron and Jamie x
Dad, I miss you, can you hear, At times I know, I feel you near, The moments when I feel your heart, Despite the fact we are apart. Dad, I know that you were good, Did everything that a dad should, And then went on to do some more, My dad, the man I still adore. From Michael and Jackie x
John's funeral is to be held on Monday 26th February at 11.30am at St Anne's RC Church, Prescot Road, Ormskirk, followed by interment at Allerton Cemetery at 2.30pm.
