Born William Shewan 9th June, 1925. Died 26th April, 2006.

Bill was born and raised in South Shields, with his sister Lilian and brother James.

Upon leaving school Bill first found work at his local library.
He left the library after a short period to join the R.A.F, where he became a Wireless Operator on the Lancaster Bombers, and remained in service until 1947.
Bill returned to the library to work a second time, and it was upon his return he met his first wife Joan.
Bill and Joan were married in 1955, and it was around this time that he decided on a career change.
Bill joined the Metropolitan Police in October 1954 training first in Hendon, then moving to London and finally settling in Surrey.
Sadly his first wife died in 1971, having suffered many years of illness due to kidney failure.

Following this tragedy Bill took up sailing as a hobby, crewing yachts all round the South Coast as far as the Mediterranean. His love for the sea remained with him throughout his life.

Some years later Bill was introduced to his second wife Tessa.
Bill and Tessa were married in 1978, and had many happy years together until his death in April 2006.

Bill retired from the Police Force in 1985, and soon after returned to his home town to live.

Sadly in 2000 Bill was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. Having always been well and in good health, he fought this illness with such bravery until the end.

Bill will be remembered as a great man, loved and respected by family and friends alike. He accomplished so much in his life, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

a letter from heaven

To my dearest family, some things 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'm 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.

I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.'

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.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.

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 has been worthwhile,

knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

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, and you've got 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

I looked up to the sky last night
and saw two twinkling stars,
I thought about the distance
of Jupiter and Mars.
I thought how far was heaven
was it further than these two
I wondered just how far it was
to Gods garden and to you.
I know one day I'll find out
just how far I'll need to travel,
I know that God one day for me
this mystery will unravel
Until that day I'll miss you
every hour that I live through
I'll miss you till the day
comes that I'll finally be with you

MEMORIES

�.♥.��.��. ♥.��.��.♥.��.. ♥��.♥.��.���. ♥

I have a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
I have a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you ask me how I am doing I would say just fine
But the truth is if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
After all this time you are still with me that is true
Somehow you remain so deep inside
This memory I will never ever want to hide

�.♥.��.��. ♥.��.��.♥.��.. ♥��.♥.��.���. ♥
