BOB BLACKSTONE - Such a Wonderful Man. Sadly passed away on the 19th August 2006.
He had just had his 51st birthday on July 22nd. He was diagnosed with Lung Cancer which had spread
to his brain. Bob was a Police Officer serving in the Met for 30 years. He served at Hayes Police
Station before going on to become a detective..He began riding a motorbike and went on to be one of
the best undercover motorcylist's in the Met. He will be sadly missed by his family and
friends. Leaving behind his wife, children and grandchildren.
We had only 10 weeks from diagnosis, such a very short time to try and understand what was happening
let alone begin to accept it all. Bob was such a Wonderful Husband, Dad, Grandad, Brother, Son,
Uncle and friend and was taken away from us much too soon. We all love and miss him so very much.
We miss you so much Dad...Keep looking after Mum
We love You x x x x
God saw you getting tired,
a cure was not meant to be.
so he put his arms around you,
and whispered 'come with me'.
with broken hearts we loved you,
as we watched you pass away.
although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
your golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
god took you up to heaven,
to prove he only takes the best.
Bob was my best friend in the whole world. He was my happiness, my smile, my warmth in life. My best
friend, my soulmate. He would do anything for me. I was his princess. He adored me and I adored
him. He was happy, if I was happy. We knew that we had a special relationship. One that was envied
by many. We would always thank God for all the good things we had in life, we knew we were lucky, we
never took that for granted.
Bob was taken away from us so quickly, we hardly had time to come to terms with his illness, before
he closed his eyes and said goodbye.
The light in my life has gone out and in its place there is a deep, deep sadness. Bob was one in
million, quiet, undemanding, strong and fair. He was generous and caring and always there to lend a
helping hand when called upon. I will miss him forever. I will love him for eternity. My life will
never be the same without him.
All My Love .... from Your Poppet X X X
Dad ... This year was hard.
This christmas was harder than last year and the year before.... Someone once told me that the firsts are the hardest. I don't agree Dad, I believe that thelonger that time passes the harder it is to accept that you're not coming back.
I know that I wont get to see you again, not in this lifetime anyway. Its you I miss Dad.....Although you rarely admitted it you loved christmas!
I remember the year before you died..... You woke me up with a cup of tea, told em that you think I should get up now hangover or not!
It was strange not being down long lane this year, it was strange not waking up with mum, you and kier like all the years before.
I'll keep plodding along Dad ..... Just so long as you're plodding along behind me!
I love you so so much ...... Big Hug and Kiss from Mum

I know you will be with your family tomorrow, as you are everyday, I bet your busy now they all live in different places, but I know you will be helping and watching over all of them together. I bet you know what your grandchild is going to be too dont you, are you looking after him/her and preparing him/her to come and live down here, I now they will be a good child if they start of with you as their mentor
Well its another sad time for all of us down here Christmas dosnt matter to me anymore,but the world keeps going on outside our window and so we still have it to face every year.
Let your family know you there with them tomorrow Bob and give a big hug to Sarah for me
Love to all of you have a peaceful Christmas.XXXX
Dad .... Another christmas without you here.
I hope your coming to lunch tomorrow!
I whispered to you last night ..... Outside in the garden when I saw the shooting star!
I can't believe I was lucky enough to see such a bright star on such a dull winter night.
I'm almost certain it was you!!!
Please find Naomi dad .... give her a big hug and remind her that it's only one more sleep!!!!!!
Bev would love it to know that your gonna party with Naomi and I would too, 2 of the best angels together!
Lots of love up there Dad x x x x (love to grandad too) x
When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.
Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.
Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go throught this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.
Much Love to you Bob, I always new you were trying to help, its just great that you know how much I care about Sarah and that you can do what you do for us both. Give her a big daddy cuddle she still has her lowes and I cant reach her so make sure she feels it as it is from me too. XXXX
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.
Gone is the face we loved so dear
Silent is the voice we loved to hear.
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far for love to reach,
Sweet to remember them once here,
Who, though absent, is just as dear.
In all the world we shall not find
A heart so wonderfully kind,
So soft a voice, so sweet a smile,
Inspiration worthwhile;
A sympathy so sure, so deep
A love so beautiful to keep.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
Angela(Christopher-John Rowe)Mum
A man full of spirit, a heart made of gold
A father full of patience, a husband to hold
A life full of laughter, we celebrate for you
And we'll embrace every teaching in all that we do
I will carry you always, in my rights and in my wrongs
In every achievement, and when the road gets too long
For father you've been there my whole life through
You taught me what love is...and oh, how we loved you
You are and always will be, my dad and my friend
And I say this with tear filled eyes; this is not the end
For I know you will be here with me, in my heart and in my ear
Telling me how proud you are with every passing year
When I walk down the aisle, I'll feel your hand in mine
When I have my first child, I'll feel your pride shine
So we'll say our goodbyes and cry all our tears
We'll be strong for Mom, and calm all her fears
So rest now in heaven, in a garden you call home
We'll hold you in our hearts Dad, and know we're not alone.
Dad ....
I'm so upset that you're not here anymore.
It just gets worse and worse by the day.
My life is so different without you here.
I'm still waiting for you to come and see me.... I'm beginning to think you're not coming!

A friend is one
To whom one may pour
Out all the contents
Of ones heart
Chaff and Grain together
Knowing that the
Gentlest of hands
Will take and sift it
Keep what is worth keeping
And with a breath of kindness
Blow the rest away.
