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
Can I bother you for just one minute?
Dear Bob, I know you will have your work cut out with the new job your in now, however like Sarah I need to ask for your help again, not long ago I know you worked so hard in inspiring things for us, do you mind if I ask you again to help us if you can. Naomi's life was taken, she was snuffed out like a candle and no remorse has ever been shown, though I believe you will remember, If you can help next week, as I know you did in the passed please Bob, will you help again, This is another harrowing time for my family and I know that I was supposed to meet Sarah and Rita for a very special reason, that reason being you, I know its a lot to ask and I know you have already done so much, just one last request for us, I would be eternaly grateful, please Bob, make it go Naomi's way, let us get justice for Naomi as she was a beautiful young woman with the right to live the life which was truly hers to live. Also a request for your lovely family I believe Rita is handling things a lot better, but I know Sarah is still suffering and does not know where she is at, Give her some inspiration Bob, she's your daugther and needs her fathers advice and guidance as she is in a whirlpool at the moment, you can tell me as you have done in the passed what direction you want her to go in, she is a wonderful person and needs some clearance and some luck in her life. Im sorry to have bothered you, you helped in the passed I know you did, please Bob, help us all including Sarah again. Love & Hugs to all the family XXXX
Hey Dad …. I’m going to pluck up the courage to get over this stupid little issue I have with going to the cemetery.
Last time it was so cold and so grey and so everything that you weren’t when you were here. I didn’t like it and I didn’t want to leave you there. Do you remember I opened the passenger door of my car to let you in…. I wanted you to come with me so you weren’t left there on your own.
I’m going to come up and see you later tonight …. When I finish work …. I want to ask you to do something for me. I need you to go somewhere next week and whisper in a few ears.
I know you made a difference last time….. Maybe you can try again for me.
And Dad …. Find Naomi will you …. Look after her, she’ll find it hard to watch her family going through the turmoil they are facing next week. She might need a hug, and your were always the very best hugs!
I love you Dad ….. I miss you so very much. I’ll come see you later on ….. ignore me if I cry! …. It’ll only be tears because I’ve left it so long. Something triggered in me this morning, I need to come and see you x x x
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel were with them still
And soothe a grieving heart
They span the years and warm our lives
Preserving ties that bind
Our memories build a special bridge
And bring us peace of mind
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!!
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.
~To Those Who Grieve~
Still your weeping
Dry your tears
Grieve not for me
For I am near
Go not to that earthy mound
I lie not there, beneath the ground
I am near you every day
I see your pleasures, joys and fears
Still to my heart you are dear
I am with you ? ever near
To see you weep saddens me
To see your joy gladdens me
So ? hinder not my happy way
We will meet another day.
That Dream .... Again..... x
Do you know Dad things are so different without you here? I realized this month’s ago but over the past few weeks it’s become even more apparent.
I can’t help but feel that I’m forgetting how life was when you were here; it’s almost as if you have disappeared. You’re not in sight anymore, its hard to feel close to something that isn’t visible. I will never drift away from you dad…..it might seem sometimes like I have forgotten you …. I won’t ever forget you, not for a moment and I never want to either.
I have to get on with things; I have to learn to accept fate, to accept what has happened to us, to our family.
I look at photos of you and it seems like such a very long time since I last heard you laugh, since I last heard your voice.
I’ve been having dreams, strange ones that I haven’t mentioned to anyone yet, to save someone having me sectioned I’ve had the same dream 3 nights in a row…… it’s the bad one I always had, do you remember I told you once when we were in Spain…. The one with the red VW Golf? …we joked that it might have been Grandad Georges car? I’m a bit worried because last time I had this dream was a Thursday night back in august 2006. I’ll never forget that time I had it because I woke up and you were still asleep that morning, you were always up so very early and I remember the fact that I didn’t see you that morning. It was that morning dad that Kier had to call you an ambulance. It’s probably irrelevant that I had that same dream when you were leaving us, but hey ….. I’m not happy about the situation and I don’t like it. Probably being paranoid but it’s not normal to have such a vivid dream so many times through the years.
I know what you’re thinking ….. Dozy old mare!
I Love you Dad …. Please come and see me soon, we still don’t know if you’re OK.

There is a bridge of memories
From here to Heaven above,
That keeps you very close to us
It's called the 'Bridge of Love'.
As time goes by without you
And the days turn into years,
They hold a million memories
And a thousand silent tears.
To us you ARE so special,
What more is there to say
Except we wish with all our hearts
That you were here today
Bob has not gone away, hes still and always will be round you, theres no banner in the sky for proof, you just have to read the signs. He will always be there for all of you giving you strength and love, just trust him and feel him you will know. Always in my thoughts. Wish we talked more like we used to do. Here for you anytime Sarah, please dont forget that. Love to all of you. XXX
Somehow in this great big world
I found my way to you
My friend across the computer lines
my heart, my soul, that's who.
You try to make me smile
with the mail you send my way.
You never fail to drop a line
each and every day.
Whenever I have hurried home
with something, I must share,
I find it just so comforting
that you are always there.
Encouragement you give me
and a friendship that is true.
I'm glad my soul while reaching out
found someone like you...
