SMITH ERIC... (From Daily Echo)

SMITH ERIC MALCOM Died peacefully on
August 22nd, 2008 after a
courageous fight,
aged 76 years. There is a bridge of golden memories from here to Heaven above.
It brings you very close to me, it's called the Bridge of Love. No one knows the heartache of what your passing cost.
God, in all His glory, has gained what
I have lost. A heart can feel so many things that words can never say.
The sadness that this day brings back will never go away. I want to tell you something, so there's never any doubt, you're so wonderful to think of, but so hard to live without. Eric,
your favourite saying,
"51 years of hardships never worth the 7/6d marriage lines". Always loved you, always will.
Your wife, Jean. ---------- In Memory of our Dad, who fought a brave fight as always, but this one was
too hard. Until we meet again, have a John Smith's on us. Much love to you Dad.
From both your son's Ian and Mark. ---------- DAD You will be loved and missed always.
Forever in our hearts. 'Enjoy the pub
in the sky'. Your everloving daughter Karen,
son-in-law Keith, granddaughters Lisa, Emma and fiancé Steve and your loving great grandchildren, who you cherished
so much,
Jamie, Claire and Tyler.
