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.
O ♥ is for the ONE and ONLY ♥
U ♥ is for UNITED one day ♥
R ♥ is for the RIVERS we cry ♥
L ♥ is for the LONGING to hold you ♥
O ♥ is for OH how i miss you ♥
V ♥ is for your VOICE we long to hear ♥
E ♥ is for the EMOTIONS we feel ♥

N ♥ is for NEVER letting our memories fade ♥
E ♥ is for ETERNAL love ♥
S ♥ is for SOMEONE SO SPECIAL ♥

LOVE ALWAYS VICKY xXx
MISSING YOU
♥ ♰ ♥ ♰♥ ♰ ♥
If we could only speak to you,
And hold your loving hand,
No matter what we said or did,
We know you'd understand.
♥ ♰ ♥ ♰♥ ♰ ♥ ♰♥ ♰ ♥ ♰
Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane we so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our lives to share,
But in our hearts you're always there.

Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

My love for you will never die
You stay within this heart
It maybe be cracked inside
Buts that's because, we had to part

Tell you three little words
I miss you like roses miss water
And nature misses the birds
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
One day we will meet again
In pastures new my love
We will be together again
In heaven up above

ჱܓ YOU GAVE US LOVE ჱܓ
You left this world so quickley
We still wonder why
For the saddest part of all
You never said goodbye
You left so many memories
To us you were so dear
No matter when we needed you
We always found you near
You gave us all
You had to give
Gifts both big and small
But most of all you gave us ჱܓ LOVE ჱܓ
The greatest love of all
Lonley is the home without you
Life to us is not the same
All the world could be like heaven
If we could have you back again
ჱܓ LOVE ALWAYS VICKY xXx ჱܓ
Four Little Words
There are four little words
that can easily be said
to my angels in heaven
before I go to my bed.
I look up to the stars
that are shining so bright
and I whisper so quietly
I Love You, Goodnight.

In Memory Of You
We want to always remember
The beautiful life you lived
And keep alive the memories we have
Through remembering what you did
For you're so special to all of us
A wonderful person indeed
Your love, laughter and warm smile
Reflected a heart that believed
Just in the everyday things we do
We remember your faith and love
In the words you spoke to help us through
Is a continued reminder for us
Although we miss you so very much
We know we'll see you once more
For this is the hope we have in God
Being re-united in the Lord
And as we gather we'll continue to share
Special times we went through
For these are memories that warm our hearts
As we honour the memory of you
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
♥***♥ I Will Always Love You ♥***♥
When I left that night
I hated leaving you here
I have seen you all
Crying many a tear
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
I can't hold you close
Can't give you a kiss
But want you to know
That's it's you that I miss.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Love to say I love you
But I know that you can't hear,
Love to hold your hand tight
And wipe away those tears.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
There's so much I want to do
And things I would like to say,
But now I'm in heaven love
I will have to wait another day.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
I will visit you daily
Just to make sure your ok,
You won't know im there
And won't hear what I say.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
There may be a sign for you
When my wings have fully grown,
A picture, some letter I sent
Or maybe a seed I have grown.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
I want you all to know
That I'm right here next to you,
And no matter what you do in life
I will always love you.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
LOVE ALWAYS VICKY xXx
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥

Remember me
Let there be no shadows around you
Or sorrow about your life
Just smile and be happy each day
Feel free from worry and strife
Yes hang on to all the memorys
Keep me safe inside your heart
Alway remember the good times
And that we are not far apart
Remember i never wanted to go
To sleep in this gods land
Remember when you need me
I will guide your soft hand

A rose is a symbol of beauty
A sign of life and death
In its short span
The petals it bears
Shows life can be beautiful
Even with the wilting of death
It leaves a fragrance of MEMORY
For those who care to grasp its beauty
And become a part of its life
LOVE ALWAYS VICKY XXXX

Life's Tug of War
Life can seem ungrateful ~ and not always kind...
Life can pull at your heartstrings ~ and play with your mind...
Life can be blissful ~ and happy and free...
Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see ...
Life can place challenges ~ right at your feet...
Life can make good ~ of the hardships we meet...
Life can overwhelm you ~ and make your head spin...
Life can reward those ~ determined to win...
Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair...
Life can surround you ~ with people who care ...
Life clearly does offer ~ its Up and its Downs...
Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns...
Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad...
Life is a mixture ~ of happy and sad...
SO...
Take the Life that you have ~ and give it your best...
Think positive be happy ~ let God do the rest...
Take the challenges that life ~ has laid at your feet...
Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet...
To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall...
Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all...
Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care...
Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there...
Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see...
Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free...
The idea here is simply ~ to even the score
As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug of War.
