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.
True love never Die's
Through the windows of my eye's
I see you standing all alone
There's a tear in your eye's
I can see that you want to come home
I dont think you realize
Your now in heaven above
You look so lonely standing there
But dont worry, were here my love
As long as we can see you
Through the windows of our eye's
I promise you our sweet Angel
True love will never die.

All the love i feel for you
Is here inside my heart
But on the day you left me
It tore my heart apart

Slowly im rebuilding it
A little day by day
Please lord dont let it get broken
For i need this love to stay
~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~
I cant explain this feeling
This ache goes through and through
A yearning that i feel so bad
Because im missing you
~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~~♥~

Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart
Good morning Leslie,Im so sorry I havnt been online much the last few weeks...things have been hectic since the wedding and the honeymoon,Im still not back to normal yet either,I got washing comin out my ears!!! I will try come on as often as I can,but always remember if I dont come on,I will still be thinkin of you and your loving family..
God bless angel,
All my love, Mhairi xxx
♥*•.♥ Simply The Best ♥*•.♥
The sun still shines
The rain still falls
Not long ago i had it all
These words i write
Straight from my heart
When you left it broke my heart
Now i search within my soul
To find the pieces
To make my heart whole
Ill never find the last piece
You took it when you left
For i truly do believe
That you needed the rest
So now youve got your Angel wings
You fly high with the rest
Because i know deep in my heart
To me ♥*•.♥ SIMPLY THE BEST ♥*•.♥
♥*•.♥ LOVE ALWAYS VICKY XXXX ♥*•.♥

⊱♥⊰ ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR... ⊱♥⊰~
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
LOVE ALWAYS VICKY XXXX

Gone Too Soon
G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,
T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,
S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,
Gone too soon but remembered every single day.
