Eddie Bates

This morning in the early hours my heart was shattered into a million pieces when my beautiful Dad passed away

A light that shone so bright on mine and my boys life gone out and emptiness remains.

My Dad , the kindest, most postive, jolly, caring Gentleman that you could ever meet

All his life he dedicated to caring as a single Dad to me and my brother and then a father figure to my boys, going above and beyond to put us first

He was selfless to the core and despite life changing health problems he battled through to be the strength and warrior we all needed at our times of need

This time the battle was too great and although he tried to hard to stay , God called him to rest

The bond we had can never be broken, but the life as we know has changed and it all feels so daunting without my best friend for life and security blanket.

I know that he will watch over and be with us as our Angel.

Just as he has been our Earth Angel

I'm setting us this page to ask for any help to raise funds to assist me in this time of need for the practical processes and funeral arrangements that I need to get my head around as the next of Kin it doesnt come naturally to ask for help or charity but Dad means the world and I'd love to give him the send off he deserves, that I would struggle with by myself.

Dad worked hard all his life but saved nothing , no prearranged plan and leaves a house full of family life and memories with the mammoth task to clear and return to SCDC.

I don't know where to start but I know that its not something I can do alone if anyone can donate or offer help in any way, I'd be eternally grateful ♥️ ❤️ love Mel xxxx
