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

I heard this song and thought of you Dad x x

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong

I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

Hello There Nice Person
Did Anyone Ever Tell You,
Just How Special You Are
The Light that You Emit
Might even Light a Star

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
How Important You Make Others Feel
Somebody out here is Smiling
About Love that is so Real

Did Anyone Ever Tell You that
Many Times When They were Sad
Your E-mail made Them Smile a bit
In Fact It made Them Glad

For the Time You Spend Sending Things
And Sharing whatever You Find
There are No Words to Thank You
But Somebody, Thinks You're Fine

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
Just How Much They Like You
Well, My Dearest Friend
Today I am Telling You

Happy Birthday Dad!

I don't know if today makes me feel sad or if today makes me smile. I remember your 50th.... I am so glad that I decided to come to Spain that year, when I shut my eyes to picture your smile... I picture that summer....
I will never understand why you had to leave us.... I'm starting to understand that I can't and won't ever have you back aswell.... We all are.... and it's SO hard.
Im sending a big hug through the stars for you.....
Love You ... Miss You.....

When I am down and all my soul so weary
when troubles come and my heart burns in me...
and I am still waiting in the sadness,
until you come and sit a while with me

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be

Dad .... I can't believe how much I still miss you, it still feels so raw!
I don't think any of us will ever get used to you not being around.
I love you!

HI Bob as you will know things didnt go the way we expected and thought it should have gone, but I know that you inpsired the beginning of all this and that you helped as much as you could. The funny thing is that although we are totaly devastated with the outcome we believe that something better is in store for IT. I know that you will know what this is, as Naomi will probably be one of yourr good freinds now and she has tried to tell me so Im sure shes has spoken to you. I walk round the house waiting for a phone call to tell me, but I know time is on our side. I want to thank you for sending Sarah to me, she was a rock in the early days, and I believe we were meant to meet for some reason. Sarah appears to be having a difficult time now, do you think I should tell her that you want her to think things over now as she is doing before making decisions or doing things, I dont think she realises this is what you want her to do so that she doesnt rush in to things anymore. I bet your proud of Sarah arnt you Bob, I know I am she is a unique one in a million and is a credit to both yourself and Rita. I know your happy where you are Bob and I know that you do stay close to your loved ones and that you always will do and watch over them whilst trying to guide them through life, If you do see my baby girl, Naomi, will you please give her a big hug and a kiss from me, I tell her I love her all the time and I constantly kiss her photo, but to have a real hug and a kiss will mean so much more to her especialy knowing its from me. I do hope you do know her. Take care of your family Bob, Sarah is making big steps forward she just doesnt see it yet. Love and Hugs to all XXX

God must have know there would be times we'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share the joy of 'little things'
In order to appreciate the happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish....lasting....true,
And so God answered the heart's great need with Cherished Friends....like you!!

Dad .... What happened to our lives?
What happened to our thoughtless way of being? Everything I do now requires extra thought that before wasn't needed.
I find it hard, I'm not sure I can do it.........
