Born Leslie Lindsay 1st January, 1937. Died 28th June, 2000.

Born into a family of 10 and raised in South Shields, Les was quite typical of most lads of his
generation. On leaving school he went to the pit to work. Mining was hard work and fraught with
danger, but the miners had a camaraderie second to none. It was this closeness between "marras" that
made the miners something special, they were the salt of the earth, they worked hard and often
played hard.
When the Colliery closed, Les went to the shipyards to work. His work took him all over the country
and often abroad. Les worked at this job until illness forced his retirement.

Les was a man who liked to socialise and enjoyed a pint or two or three! He socialised with his
mates, usually in his local where he played domino's, 5s and 3s.
January 1st was Les's birthday! His celebration started on New Years Eve and went on, usually for
two or three days.

Les married Pat in 1965, raised a family of three girls and currently has eight grandchildren and
two great-grandsons.

After his family, his passion was Football, Sunderland A.F.C.
Les had supported Sunderland from the age of 8, sometimes walking to Roker Park, and eventually
became a full season ticket holder.

Les was sadly diagnosed with Cancer in 1999, he fought on bravely but lost his battle and died
peacefully at home in June 2000.

Les was well known and liked by many people. He was gregarious and friendly and would chat to
anyone, having an obvious talent for making lifelong friends. He was a great man, who will always be
missed for many good reasons.

In tears we saw you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
You fought so hard to stay,
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peacefully free from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.

At Peace. x x x x x x x

In loving memory of Maureen Laverick, who died suddenly on 11th September, 2007.
Maureen was the baby sister of Les, and youngest of the Lindsay family.

Maureen will be sadly missed, by all who knew her. x♥X♥x

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you,
You taught us love, and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person, would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind,
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife, not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest,
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep.

♥

In loving memory of Doris Lindsay, who died peacefully on 25th October, 2007.
Reunited with your brother Les and sister Maureen.

Dot will be sadly missed, by all who knew her. x♥X♥x

Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one is down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories she left behind.

♥

There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost,
Forever will remain.

God made this special place,
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.

He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow,
And the loneliness we'd feel.

So when you lose a loved one,
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence,
Will be found in Memory Lane.

Our Memories

Memories last forever
Because they belong to you
When we are unhappy
They lead us back to you
Theyre full of smiles & laughter
Tears of joy & pain
Memories so beautiful

When i say my prayers tonight
Ill get down on my knees
Please Lord is it possible
To re-live all my memories

When the pain and grief are over
When it's my time to be by your side
I know you'll be waiting for me
And will greet me with arms open wide

Until then I'll go on living
Though the light in my life has gone
The road will be long and lonely
But I'll bear up and try to be strong

I pray that angels will guide me
Help me to get through this pain
Give me the strengh to go on
Till we are together again

Each night when we are sleeping
Our Angels take a peek
To make sure we're all tucked up
And soundly off to sleep

They always stay around us
Until first light appears
And gently without knowing
They wipe away our tears

Although we dont see them
We sence their presence near
Again when we are sleeping
They'll whisper in our ear

Please dont be unhappy
Nothing for you to fear
Think of me and smile again
Im your Angel,always near

Some day we'll be together
I know that this is true
For you told me last night
When i cried out for you

♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥

You put your arms around me
You whispered i love you
As you turned and walked away
Again im sad and blue

Im going round in circles
The circle never ends
I hope you watch from Heaven above
To you all my love i send
