Hi Dad, I’ve been thinking of you a lot lately. It’s been a tough time this last year. So much to deal with, health wise with Dan. Almost two years of awful health. Liver, alcoholism and now diabetes and a terrible accident which set us back further. I wish you were here. I miss was. I hate that I did not get a chance to tell you that I loved you. I always will Dad. I hope that you’re proud of me, I work bloody hard to provide for my family. I wish you could see your grandchildren growing into such interesting and wonderful humans. I’m talking about you from time to time with them both. Love and miss you Dad. ❤️

Daddy, I have thought of you often this year and more so as the time of your passing is almost here. This year has been a really hideous one with so many difficulties to overcome for everyone. It's been a year of change. We are in the process of buying a home Dad, you'd be saying "nice one darling" and so chuffed with us, we're going to be home owners at the grand old age of 53! So we will be moving to Lincolnshire to create a new life for us. Phoebe and Archie are growing into fine young people and you'd be very proud of their little achievements. At this time of year I think so much of family and miss being nearer to Mum and my Sisters. You have left such a hole in our lives Dad. I'm often comforted knowing we'll see each other again one day in the glory of Heaven. Mummy keeps herself well and we all are grateful that she has her Sister, Dee so close by to keep her company. I will light a candle for you this Christmas as always and send my love and hugs to you in my prayers. Sleep tight Dad. Love you always. Gin xxx

Dear Daddy The last few years have been a bit tough. I’m comforted knowing our family is strong and supportive of each other but it’s hard not being able to talk to you. I miss you horribly. I’m glad mummy is surrounded by family and friends in Ireland today, to keep her in good spirits. Love you always ❤️❤️❤️

Hello Daddy, Thinking of you this Christmas time. It's been a while since I wrote but I've always felt your spirit has been with me whenever I've needed you and this year has seen some low points for me. I miss you every day Dad and you've been in my dreams recently where I've seen you very clearly and felt close to you. It's been a year of some gradual changes for us as a family. Phoebe started secondary school and Archie moved up a year. The time just flies by so fast. If we could have our time on earth with you again, for just one day, I'd tell you how much I love you. Sleep well Dad.xxx

Hello darling, was just trawling through all the old messages that popped up in my memories of you box! So many lovely thoughts left there by so many old friends. I miss you all the time but especially when reading through and also looking at, pictures, letters and messages with your happy smiling face looking back at me! Loved you then, love now and love you always through time ever more. X. Pomme x

Hi Daddy, Today I was thinking of you a lot. Mummy gave me a beautiful watch of yours which is for Archie when he grows up. I put it onto my wrist and it made me feel very close to you. Missing you always Dad, wish you could see how beautiful your two grandchildren are growing up to be - you won't remember Phoebe much because she was so young and Archie is now 5! Both of them are doing us proud, Dad. We saw Mum recently and it was absolutely beautiful to spend such lovely quality time with her. Reflected on happier times in the past and how fast time has flown. Love you as much today as always. Rest peacefully. Ginette xxx

Dad, I wish so much you were here so we could speak and I could tell you just how much I love you. It has been so hard recently thinking of you so much and not being able to do this. Dan has been so ill the last year and I can sense you are here whenever times get really tough. I have felt such sadness and worry at times over it but also I know to be positive and keep strong as you will always be looking after me and guiding me somehow. Keep safe and happy in heaven Dad. I long for you to speak to me or hear my voice so will dream of you and see you safely in my dreams. With loving hugs always. P.s. Mummy is doing OK and looking well and we are all keeping her busy.

Today would have been our wedding anniversary darling. It's also the time of year I dread having to follow through without you here beside me now. I hope you are enjoying the peace and comfort of being around your mum and dad and all our old friends that have joined you lately? Andy and Val have been absolute rocks to me lately and we all talked about you with tears and laughter! Will try to go to the Blue Church and light a candle when I revisit Berlin shortly. Missed and loved by me through the rest of my days on earth darling but also remembered through all the beautiful good memories you've left me as a comfort for not having you here other than in spirit. God bless my darling xxxxYours forever and always Pomme

Thinking of always darling but especially tonight and thinking of yet another first in a long line of many without you, your 68th birthday on the 4th July. To see the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower. to hold infinity in the palm of your hand and Eternity in an hour. How I wish this could be, just to go back in time and keep it in Infinity but it's not to be so I content myself with beautiful memories of a life I was lucky to share with you for 48yrs. God Bless and keep you safe for me until we meet again. My love always xxxxP

trying to tell you how much I miss you darling on yet another First without you, Fathers Day. I thank you for giving me four beautiful daughters that keep me going now with a purpose to carry on life without you by my side. God Bless and keep you safe for me always xxxxxPomme

We were all sitting down today, Grandma and all the family, watching you play guitar with Andrew and Jerry on video! It made us so happy but we were all crying! This is how we like to remember you, loving, generous and a talented musician. You will never be forgotten. Love you xxxxxxx

I was thinking of you yesterday, Daddy. The strangest thing happened too, I was looking at a lovely photo I found of you and Mum. You were at a do and twisting Mum's hand over your shoulder while dancing. Both grinning. That is how I eant to always remember you, Dad: happy, enjoying life and music and your devotion to Mummy. Then, as I was lost in thoughts of you a tune came on the radio that really really reminded me of you, do you remember how you loved the track called "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison? all that gorgeous guitar solo you were brilliant at playing. The lyrics were very poignant and made me cry and laugh at the same time!! Miss you Dad. Love you.xx

Thinking of you today, Daddy. Love you and miss you. Xx

I met Pierre in 2004 when i lived in Portugal for the summer, I don't know if you'd remember me Nina but out of the blue I suddenly thought of him today and found this site, I didn't know him well but I have a very clear memory of his laughter and great sense of humour, I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you. Anoushka x

Nina---We were so saddened to hear of Peter's passing.We have We have a lovely memory of our time with you both last year in Albufiera last year.We send our love and deepest sympathy to you and your family Norman and Linda

Dear Nina and Family, no words can replace or fill the loss of such a fine compassionate man, a man who many looked up to and a man that shaped the careers of many OTT's. Pierre loved the RAMC and loved his boys, he loved life and was a fine role model as a soldier and a man. He truly deserves to be honoured amongst the great of the RAMC. I grieve with you tomorrow, I cannot be there. Pierre is with God and God is very close to us. Death is only a horizon and a horizon is nothing but the limit of our earthly sight. We will all meet again one day. God bless and keep you safe Nina. Martin McGovern OTT. In Ardus Fidelis.

Love and blessings to all family and friends dear to you, Pierre. May they feel God's presence soothing and supporting them while they mourn your passing. I trust that you are home now, knowing a state of bliss and joy. I smile remembering the jokes, the fun, the laughter I had with you at family gatherings years ago. Watching you all play live music was so cool!! Respect, love, and affection, Claire Naya xxx

The pain of your passing is unbearable but the joy of having had you as a brother is infinite. My earlier thought said "infinitessimal" by mistake It just shows my pain and turmoil. I love and miss you so much. We shall meet again. Robert

The pain of your passing is unbearable but the joy of having had you as my brother is infinitesimal. You live on in my heart. We shall meet again. Robert

Daddy, I miss you terribly. You are in my thoughts constantly. I love you. Nicola xxx

my darling....so difficult to put into words how much I love you, my heart is heavy but my mind is alive with memories of the life we were fortunate to share together, my beloved and my best friend through thick and thin.Sleep well my darling xxx Pomme

Darling Pierre You and Nina have always been there for me and Pierre you hold a special place in my heart. I promise to look after Nina and help her smile again. Love always

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Pierre. 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.
