This site is dedicated to my granda.. I know there has been more than 1 site for him.. but this is
simply because we all want to write about him and tell people what he was like and how much he means
to us.. So that itself should tell you how popular he was..
He has a wife kathy (my nana) 3 daughters angie (my aunty) lisa (my mam) and karen (also my aunty).
and he has 2 son-in-laws David (my dad) and darren (karens husband). and he has 9 grand-bairns,
Lisa's kids-Stacey (me) and David. Angies kids-Gemma, Rebecca and Chelsea. and Karens kids-
Adam, Lee, Kelsey and Alicia. but my granda sadly didnt get to meet little alicia and hold her in
his arms. But im certain his looked down on her and seen how beautiful and clever she is. when he
was littler he lived with his mam and dad, 4 brothers and his sister.
My Granda died on the 6th of April 2005 from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). I cant
tell you what he was like as a kid because to me he was my Granda, a loving, caring man with a heart
of gold. He did love his green house though growing plants nd that. And he loved building and making
things, he was very constructive and creative..
the bird house that he made is still out the back garden on the wall.. birds actuali did go in
aswell but unfortunatley the lid fell off.. I would say and definitley think my granda was very
wise.. if we asked him something we didnt fully understand he would tell us every little detail.. we
would soon get bored and say aye okay granda ah understand now.. but he would still be babblin on
even though we walked out of the citting room. we didnt do it to be ignorant.. we did tell him that
it was okay he dusnt need to tell us anymore.. becoz we reali did love how he knew everything..
i will always, always remember when he was in the wash house hammering away at something, this was
a sunday so all the family was in my nanas and grandas coz we always used to go round there for our
sunday dinner.. but in anyway back to the story.. well all is we could hear was bang bang uyahh.. nd
he walked into the kitchen put his hand under the cold water tap.. nd we were all like looking at
him nd he says ah cort me nail.. then one of us went into the citting room for a look aye cant
remember who tho.. nd the were shoutin erghh cum nd hav a look at me grandas nail.. so ah went
runnin in nd ah cudda been sick becoz ah feel faint at the syt of blood.. so ah told him he should
go to the hospital.. nd he said y nor man its arete.. nd start flippin his nail up nd down.. it was
disgustin.. but that was me granda for ya he was as brave as out.. nd he wernt scared of anything..
especially spiders.. he always had to come nd pick thm up if the were in the house and throw them
outside..
Me granda used to like a drink aswell he wasnt a heavy drinker though.. but ah can remember this
one time when ah saw him cum stumbling down the street nd ah had to run up nd help him keep his
balance til we got to the door.. nd ah did manage to get him to the door apart from he tripped over
the step nd sent me nd him crashing through the front door and us banged heads in the process haha..
he got realli wrong off me nana though. naughty naughty granda.. ya problys might not remember that
though ya were a bit drunk at the time haha..
one thing me granda was famous for by us grand-kids was his tesco half-coated chocolate biscuits..
we absoloutley loved them he used to put 2 packets on the windosil every mornin.. one for packet for
me nd dave and 1 packet for becky and chelsea for our breakfasts in the mornin.. becoz we didnt live
far.. we live over the road and angie nd them live next door to my nana nd karen nd them live just
round the corner..
when aye was kicked out of skool and was bored i would go over my nanas nd sit and watch laurel and
hardie wif me granda.. us used to have a right laff nd he was make is sum porridge or get me sum tea
nd biscuits.. he was like that with all of us..
he truly is one in a million
we all wish you didnt have to go and that it wasnt your time.. but thats just the way life is..
missing you allways lots of love hugs and kisses your loving family

cher. pauline n robert mcgregors daughter
thank you for your support
Although you are a friend of mine
and candles we exchange
I wouldn't know you on the street
and doesn't that seem strange? ♥♥
♥♥ You hold a place within my life
unusual and unique
we share ideals and special dreams
and still we do not speak ♥♥
♥♥ I picture what I think you are
perhaps you picture me
an intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see ♥♥
♥♥ So for this friendship we possess
we owe this mail a debt
perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met ♥♥
thank you for all your support it means
so much love from cher xxx
♥♥I'm sending a dove to heaven with a parcel on its wings. Be careful how you open it it’s full of beautiful things Inside are a million kisses wrapped up in a million hugs To say how much you mean to us and send you all our love ♥X♥
♥ღ♥ My eyes have seen the yellow sand,
my ears have heard their cries.
And I have watched a million hands
reach out to wave good-bye.
I've said good-bye so many times.
I've walked the earth alone,
and I have lived a million lives
just searching for my home.
I'll climb the highest mountain peaks,
I'll ford the deepest streams.
I'll touch you with my memories
and hold you with my dreams.
For love's the greatest miracle
our eyes will ever see.
I'm still alive! I will survive ♥ღ♥ xxx
.♥.•�. �•.♥.•�.�•.♥
They say there are no tears in Heaven,
But that must be wrong today.
Because you took part of my broken heart,
When you went away.
I know my tears must have followed you,
How else can it be?
My Spirit feels so broken,
Beause you’re no longer here with me.
They say someday I will accept your passing,
But, right now that can’t be true,
Because part of me is in Heaven,
My tears..... followed you....
.♥.•�. �•.♥.•�.�•.♥
☆ All My love to you And your Angel ☆

Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair
A unicorn represents
A pure heart
Overflowing with
Love
Innocence
Kindness
Charity
Justice
Sensitivity
Truth
Loyalty
Beauty
And all things good.
I'm sending you
This unicorn greeting
Because I see all of these
Special qualities in you.
You're a magical spark
In a world that sometimes seems dark
Your light never fails to
Touch my heart and soul
Leaving behind
A feeling of peace
And an assurance that
Goodness truly exists
In the world.
Thankyou for being my FRIEND!
I love you I love you
