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.

Angels Blessing
♥****♥****♥****♥****♥
An angel blessing just for you
To pick you up when you feel blue
To love you and to guide you
Angel stars they shine so bright
For they are with us always
Until dawns first light
They sprinkle us with angel dust
To let us know theyre near
Then shower us with kisses
To wipe away a tear
For angels never leave us
Although we had to part
I KNOW
Because their footprints
Are stamped here on my ♥HEART ♥
LOVE ALWAYS VICKY XXXX

I PROMISE I WILL HEAR…..
Don't think of me as dead and gone
Please understand I have just moved on
God took my hand
When you thought I had died
And led me over to the other side.
There's a better life
Than the one we know
And to it one day we all must go
No more pain, hardship,
Or times of misery
Instead there's all our loved ones
As happy as can be.
You may not see me for a little while
Hear me laugh or see me smile
But I promise you with all my heart
From the ones I love I will never part.
I will always be with you,
However far you walk
I will always listen,
When you feel you need to talk
So when you are saddened
Or driven to despair
Take comfort from the knowledge
That I am always there.
One day soon I will share with you
The happiness I have found
And you will see life doesn't end
Six feet beneath the ground
Forget about graveside visits
And fresh flowers every day
A yearly verse in the papers
Is surely not the way
When there is something you want to say
Or you wish that I was near
Just talk to me like you always did
I promise I will hear.
love theresa a g.t.s.freind xx
Love From All Your Family xXx
9 years ago you were called home,
Our thoughts are ever of you,
You are dearly loved and sadly missed,
Until we will meet again xXx
Special Bond
♥****♥****♥****♥
When you have a special bond
A love that is so rare
A life thats rich with so much love
Theres nothing to compare
And when that love is taken
Theres nothing we can do
So hold on to your memories
For they still love you too
That bond cannot be broken
Although we are apart
I love you still
And always will
Youll never leave my heart
♥****♥****♥****♥****♥****♥****♥
LOVE ALWAYS VICKY XXXX

Happy fathers Day xXx
A Dad is a person
Who's loving and kind,
And often he knows
What you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
Suggest and defends,
A Dad can be one
Of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
But when things go wrong,
A Dad can be patient
And helpful and strong.
In all that you do
A Dad's love plays a part,
There's always a place for him
Deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,
You're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
Just to call him your Dad xXx
