Dad, your battle is now over, no more tears flowing down my cheek, no more pain, no more suffering, now you are no longer weak. I still do not understand why this had to happen to you, but I am proud to say you are my Dad, the greatest man I ever knew. You were always there for me and never once made me cry, until the day you closed your eyes and I had to say goodbye. Now you are my Angel, so spread your wings out wide, please wrap them around me whenever you see me cry. Our time together was memorable and you were taken away too fast, But the most precious thing to me was you being there for my first breath, and me being there for your last. I love you Dad. Goodnight God bless.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to John Poole. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
