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 three 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. xβ₯Xβ₯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.
β₯
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. xβ₯Xβ₯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.
β₯
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.

THE BROKEN HEART FEELS PAIN
I have always thought that a Broken heart
Was just a figure of speech.
That the heart doesn’t truly break,
It’s just the words we speak.
And then my loved on went away,
Up to the Heaven’s to stay
I found that heartbreak was no lie,
My heart truly felt the pain!

Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent is the face we loved to hear,
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far for thought to reach,
Sweet to remember him once here,
Who, though absent, is just as dear.
With all our love today and always xXx

How will heaven be?
As far as I can see
It will have huge bells
And will be situated on clouds
It will have many golden wells
That will so often swell
Rain will be abundant
And the sun will shine all day long
Angels will play on the harp
The sweetest summer song
Music that will touch the heart
While those beneath will shed drops of sorrow
Little will they know what will happen on the morrow
But to them up above
As plain and clear it will be
As far as far as I can see
Yes there will be misty alleys
And lush green meadows
Fresh with the fragrant smell of spring
Winter will never be bitter
Summer never so hot
Autumn never so bare
And resources never so scarce
Food for all will be relished by all.
Grateful we’ll be as grateful can be
Mountains high and strong and brown
Surrounding that hidden land,
Beautiful and vast seas I see
There colour as blue as sapphire can be
And the white waves lashing upon the shore
Sitting on the flattened grey rocks
Who would not call it absolutely heavenly?
However it might actually be,
But can we still not see
There will lie behind this seen
A relieving feeling of bliss
For where not have we been
But is this not by all believed
That after one’s decease
This is the land of eternal peace
Where we all ultimately reach?

What Made Grandad Grand
Grandad was gentle, and Grandad was kind,
Someone you could talk too, say what’s on your mind.
Patient and mellow, and honest and true,
A man for all seasons, for me and for you.
Grandad understood, and Grandad knew best,
To know him and love him, I really was blessed.
With patience and time, he gave his advice,
And he didn’t condemn, or say there’s a price.
Grandad I’ll miss you, I’m feeling bereft,
If only I’d made more, of time you had left.
I’ll live as you taught, and I’ll honour your name,
I’ll live my life for you, till we meet again.
So I’ll take on your patience, I’ll be honest and true,
As a living memorial, Grandad I love you.

Christmas Without You
♥************************♥
Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
♥* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *♥
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
♥* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *♥
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
♥* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *♥
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
♥* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ♥
unknown
with love always Gael.xxxxx

If i could make one Christmas wish
I know what i'd wish for
I would close my eyes so tightly
Wish like ive never wished before
*********************
It wouldnt need no wrapping paper
Or any fancy bows
It dosent need no dressing up
It has the beauty of a rose
*********************
Im wishing for my Angel
For i deeply love and miss
So God if you can hear me
Please grant me this one wish
*********************
I will never ask for anything
My Angel means the world to me
What better Christmas present
Than my Angel home with me
