This weekend has been incredibly difficult. I don’t even know how to explain how much pain and hurt it has been to see my beloved Steve Stone s dream being slowly dismantled. His workshop is almost empty, just family bits left. And it has bought home to me even more the loss of my soul mate and how lonely my future is.
I am so grateful to the professionals who have helped me to ensure Steve’s legacy is not forgotten and that the money raised from selling this will be used in the way Steve wanted. Another part of Steve is gone, but never forgotten and the path I tread now is going to be very different to the one I had mapped out with Steve.
It’s been 6 long months since I held Steve in my arms. And I’ve lost so much along the way, including friends and family. But I’m doing my best, I just miss him so much.
A year ago we were celebrating Tom and Lucy getting married- Steve was their witness, life seemed back on track. And now he’s gone. My love, my life , my man.

I can’t thank you all enough for your generous donations in memory of my wonderful Steve and for the hospice that cared for him! Just have to get the walk done now and that raises an extra £100 !! Incredible

We have nearly reached our target of £5000, please give as much as you can to help us raise this final amount for St Helena’s Hospice in memory of a wonderful man, Steve Stone.

Finishing the pennie way at the old Nags Head. With Lucy Bates Tom Thomas Bates and Adrienne Lee.

Raising money for St Helena hospice in memory of Steve Stone, who died in April. My amazing husband, and my wonderful dad, who died in July.
Please give generously …

Tribute to David John Lee, 1938 - 2024 Dedicated to the memory of David John Lee

A fortress stood where her love had been,
Holding back the river of tears,
Its guardians stalwart, her pain within,
Determined to cage her fears.

She scanned the horizon, far and wide,
Refusing to accept he'd gone,
Ignoring death's whisper, its mournful tide,
Echoes of him lingered on.

This hope sustained her, day by day,
As time wove its sorrowful thread,
Yet the promise of his return gave way,
Fading as days bled.

Then her father fell, no hope in sight,
Her legs gave way to despair,
Frozen, she huddled, in the dim light,
Her eyes locked in a vacant stare.

Reality drifted, just out of reach,
With each breath, a silent plea,
"Come back to me," her heart would beseech,
But alone she knew she'd be.

No one to care, no time to mend,
In the fortress, her sorrow kept,
A love's tale that would never end,
In solitude, she wept.

For Steve

Pause all time, hold on to this silence
Pause life completely, stop all violence.
Pause the milkman, the postman, the business, the win
Hold all your thoughts whilst our grief seeps in.
Listen to the wind, the rain and the birds in your head
Listen to the words: my beloved is dead.
Scrub out the stars, turn off the sun
Remember his name and the joy that he brung

For Steve was my love, my hope, my life
He was my counsel, companion and I was his wife

He lit up my world, he was silly and fun
And he found inner peace and a faith had begun

He looked after us all, and put up a good fight
There’s no one like him, so clever so bright,

he kept us all smiling despite being in pain.
He was brave and courageous and this will remain .

There’s no one like him, he had my heart,
He was my soul mate, my lover, we were never apart

My future without him, I cannot imagine
but his positive outlook is always within

We will never forget his convictions and vision
His love, his support and his amazing wisdom.

Remember his name, he was such a great bloke,
the laughter we had with him, pranks, teasing, jokes.

He wants us to celebrate the life that he had
He was my husband, a brother, father and special grandad.

Don’t let his memory fade into dust
Remember his unconditional love and trust

He was all that I am, he rescued my soul
He knew all my secrets, and made me whole

He knew how to keep us calm in our heads
and knew how to settle our fears and our dreads.

Now sleep wonderful man, sleep well out of pain.
You fought such a battle but it was in vain

We all knew your strength, your positivity,
your love, your beauty, and honesty

We will try to be brave and carry on

But my love you must rest, your job is done.
