RAINEY JOHN DIED 20TH FEBRUARY 2026
The days seem a little darker
Since we have been apart
The light has somehow failed
Within this broken heart
When I see a rainbow
With the colours shinning through
I see a bridge to heaven
That will bring me back to you
How can I look to the future
When you are in the past
The memories I will treasure
Until I breathe my last
When I know my time is over
I'll no longer be in pain
Then I can climb that rainbow
And we will meet again
Sleep tight Dad xx

From your loving Daughter Roberta son-in-law Samuel
I sat beside my daddy's bed. Kissed him gently on his head. I took his hand and held it tight and said to him, you've lost your fight.
I sat with him with what time we had, just me and him my wonderful dad. He saw my tears as I tried to hide, and telling him these words I cried.
We maybe only have one day, I will miss you when you go away.
Dear Dad I have our memories and I also understand, I cannot kiss our memories or kiss my Daddy's hand.
My precious rainbow, my Dad.
Peacefully sleeping,
Debbie xx

The house feels quieter now your gone,
but your presence still shines on.
In every story we laugh and tell,
in the love of the family you built so well.
Love you always.
Your son John and his partner Nikki, your grandchildren and your great grandchildren.

John, Nikki and family
With tears I watched you suffer dad,
I watched you fade away,
My heart was slowly breaking,
As you fought for years to stay,
Our worlds have been devided dad,
But I know that you'll stay near,
While I take care of mother now,
Cause your no longer here

For My Granda
You were the centre of my world,
My constant, safe and true,
The steady heart I leaned upon
In everything I’d do.
You were the glue that held us close,
The laughter in the room,
The strength behind our family name,
The light against the gloom.
You were my safe place all my life,
My calm, my guiding star —
And though I cannot see you now,
You’re never truly far.
Life will never be the same,
There’s an emptiness so wide,
But I’ll carry you within my heart
With love and endless pride.
From your granddaughter who adored you,
And your great-grandchildren too,
We’ll keep your love alive each day
In everything we do.
Rest easy big man x
