A Chip Off The Block

23/09/2024

Today we said our final goodbye to Stephen Elliott. Husband, Father, Grandfather. To me, my father in law felt more like my natural father who I lost many years ago. He was always there, with a knowledgeable word, a great help, and quiet dignity.
I had the honour of helping to carry Dad into the chapel, which was overflowing, to one of his favourite pieces; Nimod by HM band of the Royal Marines. It was a beautiful service and tribute to his life.

We will miss you Dad, and we love you, always!

I'll leave you with the Poem that Helen, his oldest daughter, read:

Afterglow

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun;
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

It is with a very heavy heart and much sadness that I must inform you that Stephen "Mr Chip" passed away in his sleep on Sunday morning, having been battling Motor Neurons Disease for some time. He will be sorely missed by us all, but our thoughts go our to his loving wife, Alison.

Goodbye Dad, we love you ###

Hello 🔵 It's official. Signed at 12:53. It even came on tv.
Mine really turned blue. Don't forget, the new Facebook rule starts tomorrow (aka... new name META) where they can use your photos. Dont forget the deadline is today!!!
