My granda died the 17th of Febuary.He was 66 years old. My granda's name is John Dixon Renney
but everyone called him Dick (Dicky).I loved my granda loads and loads and i still do. My granda
lived in Thorney Close next to the thorndale and the thorney close club. The Thorney Close club was
where my granda used to go all the time before he got ill.He knew everybody and made them all laugh
everytime he seen them or spoke to them. My granda was ill for more than a year going in and out of
hospital but he started to get worse then he had to be in a wheelchair. I remember when me my mam
and my dad used to take him to asda in his wheelchair, he used to say "go faster" haha and
my mam said "what do you want" he used to say " let me have a look" then he put
everything in the trolly (haha). My granda was looked after by loads of nurses but he got on with
them all and had a laugh with them all. My granda was loved by all the family and all his friends
but i would like to mention all his sons and daughters (Deb, Martha, Dick, Will and Aiden) his sons
and daughters in law (Chris, Rob, Gwen, Bev and Bev) his sisters and brothers (Pat, Nan, Mary, Cath,
Margret, Billy and Brian) and all his grandchildren. If ive missed anyone out i am sorry and i will
add you in. so thats my piece of writing of my granda.Love from his grandaughter jessica (My granda
used to call me bel).Age 11.

FOR DICK X
THINKING OF YOU X
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.

You gave me love.
You gave me joy.
You made me so proud,
When you would say,
Thats my boy.
I loved when you would ring me,
And say get me a mirror,
Then id bring you one up,
And you would give me a winner.
You would say run to the shop,
And that you would timers,
Just so i would get there,
In time for your 49'ers.
Miss you loads pops
Love Fats

There is a garden,
Good friends are the flowers,
And times spent together,
Life’s happiest hours;
And friendship, like flowers,
Blooms ever more fair,
When carefully tended
By dear friends who care;
And life’s lovely garden
Would be sweeter by far
If all who passed through it
Were as nice as you are.
