Bobby Condra





Dad, Daid, Daidie, Bobby, Bob,
18th March 2007
68 years old
Brynglas Road, Holyhead, Anglesey.

Devoted dad of Susan, Stephen, Beverley, Marc & Rachelle.
Treasured Daid of Lee, Farren, Vicky, Jordan, Josh, Stacey, Aidan, Jacob, Delaney, Ceri, Jacob Lee, Jack, Luke, Caitlan & Ethan.
Fond Great Daidie to Demi Louise.
Beloved brother to John & Iris Condra, Uncle to Carol, Linda, Alan & families.
Sadly missed friend of Billy, Jean Racsan, Jean & Beryl.

Dad, we were told in January that you had cancer of the bladder and there was nothing they could do to help you, it was just a "matter of time". Sadly dad, your time ran out on Mothering Sunday March 18th 2007, 6 years exactly to the day and date that we lost Nain - your mam. Did she come down for you to spare you any more pain and suffering? I think so dad, and although its hard to bear the pain of losing you, it makes it easier for us knowing that you're not suffering anymore. No-one should have had to endure so much pain. From your serious accident in 1978, your health deteriorated, you developed C.O.P.D. and emphysyma, from a simple cold to a serious chest infection - you had more than your fair share of illness and it didn't stop there did it?

I miss you so much. I miss your stories about Jean Racsan, Billys latest ebay antics and "your girls" - your carers. You were genuinely grateful for their friendship. You'd always be on the phone with the latest gossip and you'd go mad if I told you something before you knew - "bloody hell" you'd say!!
I tried to joke along with you dad when I'd phone you at the hospital, trying to stop myself crying when I heard you in pain. I was humbled when you thanked me for 'lifting your heart' one afternoon - I'm glad I cheered you up - if only for a short time.
I remember our last phone call together on March 16th, you couldn't talk for long because you were in too much pain - your last ever words to me were "I love you del". Well dad I LOVE YOU TOO. I thought I'd have alot more time with you, more hugs, more kisses, more love yous, more memories. I have many memories dad - memories I will treasure forever!
Goodbye for now dad, I miss you and I love you. Always and Forever in our hearts. xxXXxx

If Only Dad x

If we could visit heaven and be with you today,
maybe for a moment the pain would go away.
We'd put our arms around you, and whisper words so true,
that living life without you, is just so hard to do.

Love you, Miss you, always & forever xXx

Miss you xXx

Never wrote on your birthday Dad, this year was harder, don't know why? Suppose it's the length of time I've been without you. Sometimes I think you're still here and that you'll be on the phone asking about the boys, me & Steve. Little things are hard like when the match was on the other night & Marc said you would've been phoning him at half time to discuss it! It's just sad living with your memory instead of you! Hope you can hear when I talk to you, I find the feathers in allsorts of unusual places - thank you x I miss you Dad and hope that you are looking over us, with all my love forever and always, Rachelle xXx

Happy 72nd birthday Dad!

Another birthday without you dad and although I would do anything to give you a birthday hug, I just have to make do with my precious memories of you and of your birthdays gone by.
Life goes on its true, but its hard learning to live without you, even now I think of phoning you to tell you all about whats happening with me, the family and the world! The Bill finished for good last week - you'd have been gutted as you loved that programme, always saying on the phone 'right i'm off now for a little bit because i'm going on duty'. Been to Farrens this weekend as Ethan has his suit fitting for the wedding next month - you'd have loved that too! So much we have to do without you Dad and so many changes, but my love and longing for you will never change, I love you and miss you millions, always & forever, Rache xXx

Your 71st birthday today

God I miss you so much Dad. I used to think surely people cannot mean it when they say not a day goes by when they dont think of their loved one, but dad I can honestly say NOT ONE DAY goes by when I dont think of you!
I know you would've been over the moon with our new house, Josh starting uni, Jacob & Luke settling back into school and Ethan starting nursery.
Im sure you're watching over us though, the feathers we find in the strangest of places and at the right times, and you are often in my dreams. It doesn't get any easier dad, we just learn to live without your phone calls, letters, birthday cards, jokes, stories, without YOU!
Well penblwydd hapus dad, I can hear you now "I'm off to the exchange to get myself a girlfriend tonight!" If only eh dad?
I love you. I miss you. Always and Forever,
Rache xXx

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name,
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame,
Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part,
God has you in his keeping I have you in my heart.

Love always & forever xXx

Love always xXx

“You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

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

A message from Dad

When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes filled with tears for me,

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today...
While thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you...
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me, too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand...
That Jesus came and called my name
and took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready
in heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

the miracle of friendship

when I've had one of those days
you know what I mean
so I sit back and relax
and turn on my screen.

I'll talk to my friend
who know just what to say
to make my stresses go
and my troubles fade away.

My friend you're always there for me
whenever I feel blue
and though we've never met before
I know our friendship its true.

And although we haven't been friends for long
in this short time it seems
we shared so many things already
our hopes, our fears.

We come from different walks of life
but we share a common bond


So friend thanks for being there
whenever I've needed you
I know you're always there for me
and you know we are there for you.

love always henry~henry jur
