Eric rasburn was my dad, he was born 17/07/1941. He was a very loveable person and got on with any1 and gave every1 a chance in life. He would do anything to help people and get a head start in life, He was always there making you laugh and around to pick up the pieces if anything went wrong no matter what the problems were. My dad was the best man you could ever wish to meet and it was a privilege to have him as my dad and any1 who met him would agree, sadly my dad was disgnosed with lungs cancer last year and that tipped are world upside down but we got over it and became an even closer family, we were close b4 but this made us closer. We were told that there was no treatment available for him for the cancer as he was too ill and his lungs wouldn't take any probin as any attempt at treatin him would kill him. As the months past he got slowly worse and had to have oxygen 24/7 and take all kinds off medication then at xmas he got pnuemonia and that made him worse and his body couldn't take it but barnsley hospital let us down by not treating him and sendin him home. We were in and out off hospital over the next few months which didn't help him either but then i was told i could bring him home for his last few months on tuesday 8th april 08 but wednesday night at 12:50 the hospital rang for our permission to put him on a ventilator which would help him and make him better by thursday mornin but at 1:45 that very same nite we got called in and told he hadn't got very long left, that felt like it was the end of my life and it was the worst thing i've ever had to sit and watch but at 8:30 thursday 10th april he sadly passed away and when he died apart of me went with him and that hole will always be there no1 will ever be able to fill it. I miss him more everyday and loved him dearly and still do and always will more and more everyday.

the best

A golden heart stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes at rest,
God broke your familys hearts to prove to them,
He only takes the best.
Sweet dreams my angel.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

dad

You never said you were leaving,You never said goodbye,You were gone before i knew it,And only god knows why,A million times ive needed you,A million times ive cried,If love alone could have saved you,You never would have died,In life i love you dearly,In death i love you still,In my heart you hold a place ,No-one else can fill,It broke my heart to loose you,But you did not go alone,For part of me went with you,The day god took you home.dad i love you now and forever,all my love and kisses to you xxxxxxxxxxx paula xxxxxxxxx
