Through
Your Daughter's Eyes My
Dad meant so many things to so many different people.
He developed late onset asthma which was always quite
bad. Originally it affected his life as it curtailed
his social life in the days before non-smoking. His
friends understood and over time his social life
changed, but became just as boyant! He was one of
those people the world was blessed to have, as my
brother said at the crematorium he had a code of
conduct that he lived by and expected us to follow:
1: Wear your smile with pride.
2: Always be confident and charming.
3: Compliment people and be warm.
4: Make friends with all you meet.
5: Be chilvolrous at all times.
6: Listen to others and be their confident at times of
need.
7: Hide your own ailments and don't bother others with
them.
8: Support your fellow man, especially if he has
fallen from favour.
9: Stand your ground.
10: Never shy away from making a speech.
Dad lived his life to the full and never changed it
despite being very ill with asthma. When out in town
everyone said "so you're Mike's daughter".
His friends have stood up today to give tribute to his
life and people I have never met before have told me
how much he meant to them.
His grandchildren gave him a new lease of life
spending time playing with them, making up new and
special games to play and taking them out to his
latest secret adventure.
He loved all there was to love about life, his
friends, his friends and his garden. He was a truly
special man and the world will now be much sadder
without him. We all hope that the generosity of his
friends and family will help someone else severely
affected by asthma. Debbie

AAIR remembers lost loved ones who suffered
from asthma and allergies
Thank you to all those who helped make our memorial service at Highfield Church on December 11th such an uplifting and wonderful occasion.
|
|
Jean and Graham delivered a wonderful service, full of hope and comfort with beautiful singing by one of AAIR's closest supporters, Jaqui Porter.
Particular thanks to Namrata Panchamatia, who showed great courage and strength to give a moving and heart-felt reflection about family times spent with her wonderful son Anuj, who sadly died following an asthma attack when he was just nine years old. Our thoughts are with the Panchmatia family, as they are with all families and friends as they remember their lost loved ones at such an poignant time.

|
This service is a bi annual event. Our next one will be December 2008.
