Raymond Joseph Heaps ..30 July 2004... age68 .... bricklayer buider..born in Batley but lived in
Dewsbury he leaves wife pauline 2 daughters Susan and Andrea 2 grandsons Nathan and Luke 2
grandaughters Naomi and Nikita also 3 sisters and 1 brother ...... lost his fight for life
peacefully at home from cancer .. with his loving family around him ..........Raymond loved and
lived for his children.

At 18 went off to do his national service in the RAF, after he served his 2 years we married then
along came our first daughter Susan 2 years later came Andrea.

He was a good worker and would go anywhere that there was work he travelled to Germany and worked
there a long time and made lots of friends, one time when in Germany they had no money so had to
sleep in tents .. He also did lots of work in Ireland fitting bank vaults and night safes .. As he
got older he had to retire due to arthritus in his hands and legs and had to have new joints in
his hands ... but then took to computer he taught him self lots and could be seen going every day
Monday to Saturday down to Dewsbury library.... you could tell the time by him as he walked down
Halifax Road at the same time every day 6 days a week (an old soldier) .. his work mates always
said they did not need a watch as they could tell the time by him ...haha.

Raymond loved his irish music he would sit at home doing his crossword and drink his can of beer and
listen to his rebel songs. he loved his granchildren to come.......

When one of his grandaughter became ill and was paralyses he went full out for her and spent endless
hours at the hospital with her .. he then wrote a letter to the Pope John paul and asked him to pray
for her .. and got a reply back . He then started to fund raise for the \\\"FORGET ME NOT TRUST
FUND\\\" and was the first person to be awarded a trophy for his continued support which he did
right up till his death (his grandaughter is now fit and healthy now thanks to good care and lots of
prayers )

Raymond was a home bird but his niece did ask him one thing that he would attend her wedding (in
australia )and he did it for her and loved it .. but could not get him to go back again as he said
he had been once .. but I could go ..hahaha on my own .. (A TRIBUTE OF LOVE )LOVED BY MANY NEAR AND

I'm sending this hug
just to say hi
in case you were wondering
the reason why

You are my friend
with a real soft heart
I'd hug you myself
but we are too far apart

So here is this poem
to cheer up your day
I picked out this hug
and sent it your way

A real special hug
to say that I care
to thank you for being there
throughout the whole year

When you feel you miss me most,
As years go drifting by,
Each memory will prove to you,
That love can never die,
That while I left you far too soon,
I did not go alone,
For the father sent his angels,
To gently take me home,
Take comfort when you think of me,
Keep my love deep within your heart,
And with each precious memory,
We'll never be apart. xxx

A FRIEND IS A TREASURE
A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift,

A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the world we live in
A better and happier place.

Henry July 29, 2008

friends

There are moments in life when you miss someone

so much that you just want to pick them from

your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;

but often times we look so long at the

closed door that we don't see the one,

which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.

Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.

Go for someone who makes you smile,

because it takes only a smile to

make a dark day seem bright.

Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;

go where you want to go;

be what you want to be,

because you have only one life

and one chance to do all the things

you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,

enough trials to make you

strong,

enough sorrow to keep you human and

enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily

have the best of everything;

they just make the most of

everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always

be based on a forgotten past;

you can't go forward in life until

you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying

and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so at the end,

you're the one who is smiling and everyone

around you is crying.



Please send this message to those people

who mean something to you (I JUST DID);

to those who have touched your life in one way or another;

to those who make you smile when you really need it;

to those who make you see the

brighter side of things when you are really down;

to those

whose friendship you appreciate;

to those who are so meaningful in your life
god bless you henry~henry jur

REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU LOOK UP AND THE STARS KISS YOUR EYES,
WHEN YOU LOOK AT A FLOWERS VELVET INSIDES.
I'M WALKING BESIDE YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO,
FEEL MY PRESENCE I'M WITH YOU.
YOU'LL FEEL ME THERE,
CARESSING YOUR FACE AND YOUR HAIR.
I CANNOT BE WITH YOU, THOUGH I WANT TO BE.
BUT YES I AM WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU SEE.
FEEL MY LOVE AND KNOW IT IS ME
MY ANGEL

A friend is like a flower
a rose to be exact
or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched

A friend is like an owl
both beautiful and wise
or perhaps a friend is like a ghost
whose spirit never dies

A friend is like a heart
that goes strong until the end
where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend
..............................................................

Henry Emily Mccorriston July 22, 2008

Myself and Henry, would like to say a huge thank you for all the love and support you have shown henry and me these last few months, we can honestly say that without special people like you we wouldn't be here now, Emily has always been our whole world and we will never be able to accept what has happened, we still talk to him every day just as we always have done only now our sweet angel doesn't answer. we get up in the morning come on the computer, go to the cemetary
and talk to Emily and do her grave up,and come back on the computer, that is how we get through our days but at least meeting you has made it a little bit easier.
So once again thank you and remember we will always be here for you just as you have for use.
god bless

Friends are Like Angels

Our friends are like angels,
Who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wonderful,
ways.

Their thoughtfulness comes,
As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.

Like upside-down rainbows,
Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter & fun.

Friends are like angels,
With out any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious things
God bless

CANDLE OF LOVE
·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:·

Few people come into our lives
and make everything shine,
but you're one of those
rare and splendid jewels
who makes the whole world bright.
When I was sad, you made me smile.
When I was alone and blue,
you were there for me,
and you made me feel strong enough
to accomplish anything.
Because I appreciate
the many things you do,
more than words could say,
I'm sending you the Candle of Love,
and hoping you receive
many blessings from above.

·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·
Please send the candle of love
to someone who has touched your life,
and keep the flame of love burning bright.
