My dad Tom Sweenie was the greatest dad in the world who will be sady missed by both me and my mum
we will love and miss him forever.
Born on the 6th November 1934 my dad lived through some very tough times as a child surviving the
Clydebank blitz he went onto to become a joiner in John Brown's shipyard until he turned 21 and got
called up for national service where he spent his time in the army in Germany on his return he
worked as a fireman in clydebank until he met and married my mum on the 3rd July 1965 and he went
back to being a joiner and then on the 4th april 1977 i came along and changed his life forever.
My dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer 4 years ago and was responding well to his treatment until
December 2007 when the doctors decided they were going to operate and remove dads tumour it was a
bigger operation than we expected they removed dads stomach, his spleen,the tail of his pancrease
and a small part of his liver when he got home in January he was doing brilliant he was is old self
again walking our 2 dogs they were his pride and joy, doing odd jobs about the house and of course
he went back to watching his beloved Glasgow Rangers although he never got to many away games he
never missed a home game and there's not many people that can say they've seen their team play in 2
european cup finals. The Scottish cup final 2008 will always be special to me as it was the last
game i went to with my dad because when he went for his check up in August they discovered my dad
had another tumour and the cancer had spread to his liver it was a very aggresive and painfull
tumour and dad lost his battle on the 4th September 2008.
I would'nt be the person i am today if it was'nt for my dad he was'nt just my dad he was my best
friend he taught me so much and i'll never forget the look of pride on his face the day i passed my
driving test cause if it was'nt for him i'd still be walking everyhere. My dad had a heart of gold
always willing to help everyone he was at his happiest when he had a hammer in his hand fixing
something or listening to his country and western music he would always make mum and i laugh when he
started singing along. My dad had a great sense of humour he was always cracking jokes and some of
them were so bad you just had to laugh at them. When you talk to people about dad they always
mention his jokes.
On the 4th September 2008 i lost one of my greatest friends MY DAD i will never forget him and i'll
always love him he was one in a million and im so proud to be his daughter So rest in peace Dad
until we meet again you were'nt just a great dad you were SIMPLY THE BEST!

message from heaven x x x
To my dearest family, somethings I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.'
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you . . . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night . . . . 'My day was not in vain.'
And now I am contented . . . . that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
God says: 'So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street with Me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.'
'And when it's time for you to go . . . . from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going . . . . you're coming here to Me.
love to Margo and mum xxxx kathleen god bless
IN MY BLUE HEAVEN
Lift your head please no more tears
And think of all those happy years
Im in a place that im content
To my blue heaven i've been sent
Where Rangers fans live on forever
Loyal and true we're all together
And in my heaven of royal blue
I wear a smile and think of you
Every game that Rangers play
These fans are with them all the way
Cheering on from high above
For the boys in blue the team we love
So live your life and please dont dwell
And be at peace i'm safe and well
Amongst my friends decked out in blue
In my blue heaven i'll wait for you
Every game the Rangers win there winning for you dad and i know that every saturday your cheering them on like you always did the Copland Road stand's not going to be the same without you. All my love Margoxxxx
~~Comforting Angel~~
An angel kissed my tears away
today when I was sad
I wasn't feeling quite myself
my day had been so bad...
I felt a warmth brush by me
that quickly dried my tears
a gentle, kind and loving touch
that seemed to hold me near...
Immediately I felt so much better
and the day seemed brighter too
I guess thats just the way you feel
when an angel comforts you...
love as always kathleen xxx
FARWELL DAD
I could see the love within your eyes
The smile across your face
The tenderness of your kiss
I long for your embrace
The proudest man i've every met
So organised and precise
So funny and adorable
The laughter in your eyes
I can't beleive that your not here
I long to hear your voice
I was'nt ready for you to leave
But God had made his choice
You tell me you're a happy man
And we'll never be apart
You're looking down from heaven above
Holding me next to your heart
You tell me to be strong and brave
But thats not easy to do
Because you were so special to me
And the love i felt for you
I'll never forget the times we shared
You brought much happiness to me
You'll always be with me no matter what
My dad, my best friend you'll always be
So darling dad farwell for now
I'll think of you each day
God bless, take care, I love you
And in my heart you'll always stay.
All my love Dad Margoxxxx
for my friend
I just wanted to say THANK YOU
In a special kind of way
For all the messages and thoughts
You've shared with me today
I've tried to think of all the things
That say how much I care
And so I'm sending special hugs
For all of you to share
It's a special kind of friendship
Of this you must agree
For we all live in different worlds
Some far across the sea
So I'm sending you this message
It's what I want to do
To say how much I really care
For every one of you .
thanking you for all your support and kindness love kathleen xxx
An Angel's Kiss
We never stop to measure
anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.
A Kiss that's sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss that's very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For it's meant for only you.
So when your heart is heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again.
About the one you grieve for
And so sadly miss
That gentle breeze you took for granted
Was your Angel's Kiss.
Love to you and your family Margo, your dad is by your side and his hand is in yours, God Bless, am always thinking of you, take care xxxx Lynne xxxx
You can only have one father
Patient, kind and true
No other friend in all the world
Will be the same to you
When other friends forsake you
To dad you will return
For all his love and kindness
He asks nothing in return
As we look upon his picture
Sweet memories we recall
Of a face so full of sunshine
And a smile for one and all
Sweet Jesus, take this message
To my dad above, tell him how i miss him
And give him all my love.
All my love to you dad i really miss you Margoxxx
For your family Tom xx
It was a sudden parting,
To bitter to forget,
Those who loved you dearly,
Are the ones who cant forget,
We often sit and think of you,
And think of how you died,
To think you could not say goodbye,
before you closed your eyes,
Your life was one of kindly deeds,
A helping hand for others needs,
Sincere and true in heart and mind,
Beautiful memories left behind,
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear,
Our loss is great, well not complain,
But trust in god to meet again,
Two tired eyes are sleeping,
Two willing hands are still,
The one who worked so hard for us,
Is resting at gods will,
Our family chain is broken,
Nothing seems the same,
But as god calls us one by one,
The link shall join again

for u tom
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight 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 flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die
Our christmas tree is now
7.75m tall!
