Derek & I were friends before we became partners. When we met, Derek was still married to Jean, although they were separated, their divorce was still ongoing, & I really didn't want to know........ After much persuasion, I agreed to visit him in Florida. Eventually, Derek moved into my home in Lytham & from there we moved to Mallorca. I was married to John Berry who simply adored me - & sadly passed away in 1992. I am very fortunate to have had two good men in my life & for this I am eternally grateful.They are both giving me the strength to carry on. We loved & trusted each other 100% - What more can I say?

Whenever thay are needed,
Our loved one is around.

SPECIAL MEMORIES
The heart is a house of many rooms
where things are stored away.
All those special treasured memories,
are with us every day.
We miss you lots Derek.
Love Linda and Vic xx
Missing You
Time may help to ease the pain
Of the loss of one so dear
But only few know how we miss him
And the loneliness of these two years
We try to be brave and remember
He is now free from pain
And at the roads end
God Willing
We too shall meet again
Miss you Derek
Love Always ,Linda, Vic, Tony xxx
Big Hugs and Kisses to Teltly and Izzy xxx
Too much - Too soon
Today, so many things have gone though my mind
Why, oh why did you leave me behind?
It wasn't your choice - I know that for sure
But for your type of cancer, there wasn't a cure.
You fought hard to enjoy the time you had here
With parties & dancing & swimming & beer!
You lived for today - tomorrow may come -
So, whilst it lasts, let's have some fun.......
Every accolade to you Derek - My hero, my partner, my life.
It has been a pleasure to walk through life with you Derek - Till we meet again - I LOVE YOU BRAVEHEART - Your Sue XXX
LOVE LIVES ON..........
Those we love remain with us
For LOVE itself lives on.
All cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one is never gone.
Those we LOVE can never be
More than a thought apart
For as long as there is a memory
They'll live on in the heart - FOREVER.
My heart beats with love & memories of you Derek.......
Stay close sweetheart - I need you more than ever.
Love you o'er the universe always
Your very sad Sue xxxxxxxxxxxxx
'Spirit in the Sky' is what you are but when I hear 'Blue Bayou',
'Welcome to my World' & 'Hello my Friend' I just 'Fall to Pieces'
Oh, Derek - I am coping but only because I have your strength within me - you taught me well dearheart & I will never let you down.
In life, I loved you - In death, I love you still - nothing will change.
Till we meet again - Adios mi amor. XXX XXX XXX XXX
Gone too soon
If only you could have had your wish of living for 10 more years. I think about this often as you were enjoying life so much & felt happy, loved & contented. You were so very strong Derek, even until the last day when you drove the jeep to the hospital for your radiology - I have never seen such determination - You were dying then my love but I didn't know. The ride back from the hospital with me driving was a different matter - You knew by then that you only had a limited time with me but you kept it to yourself - I now know what you went through to protect me & I thank you -
I would have done the same for you sweetheart. We have both been through a lot in life but I can honestly say that we gave each other the best of our experiences, love & commitment that anyone could wish for.
Rest in peace Derek - You did your very best. I have been truly blessed with two good & loving men in my life & for this I am forever grateful.
You can love too much but it is worth every minute.................................
No regrets, except I wish you were here - Your special lady Sue XXX XXX
Birthday Memories
I'm thinking of a lot of things
As I write this verse
The words are coming easy
You were my Universe.
Because you meant so much to me
And everything you were
I don't have to hide my feelings
They are there for me to share.
The reason I was happy
Was because you were around
But memories last forever
And tears don't make a sound!
**************************************
My life will never be the same without you.
But I promise to be strong & never let you down.
All my love & devotion.
Your Sue XXXXXXXXXX

Eighteen months today - St. Valentine's Day.
Forget me not, for I am there
In the beat of you heart,
On the wing of a prayer.
Forgive my parting & leaving you thus,
A joyous reunion is waiting for us!
Continue to strive toward your
goal & be brave.
Know that my love didn't stop at the grave.
My spirit is with you
through good times & bad.
I share all the sorrows & joys
that you've had.
Feel my presence within your next breath.
And realise there is no distance in death.
Ask for my healp & I'll answer your call.
Reach for my hand when you stumble & fall.
Run the last mile mile
with a smile on your face.
My arms will be waiting when you
finish the race.
Always remember, my love is right there.
In the beat of your heart,
On the wing of a prayer.

A LETTER FROM HEAVEN.
As I sit here safe in heaven
And watch you every day
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away.
I hear you when you're laughing
And watch you as you sleep
I place my arms around you
To calm you as you weep.
Please live your life & smile again
Enjoy yourself, be free
Then I'll know with every breath
You're taking one for me.
