11 years ago today, like the old American Chiefs, you took your final walk into the light. But you left behind your love, laughter, strength and incredible ability to always find the beauty and light, even in the darkest of days. For that we all thank you and cherish these gifts you gave us all as we try to help them grow and pass them on to others. May we be happy, may we be peaceful, may we be liberated.

Leave the world a better place than you found it

Dad, father-in law and granda How we miss you daily and we can hear your teachings in our consciences. 10 years gone but look to you for guidance as life goes on. It's always a chuckle that things you forecast years before our birth are happening today exactly as you forsaw. Abbie is there today by your resting place but you are truly around us across the world

How can I ever forget the man who taught me to swim, to tell the time, to enjoy the Forrest and all things that nature can give. All with a cheeky smile and a laughter that made everyone smile. Miss you uncle Matt!

"I do not live for what the world thinks of me, but for what I think of myself." J. London Matt, you are gone but never forgotten.

Sacred Trees

Cos your son Matt is a wonderful lad.

Your love, life and memories go on transforming and helping me grow every day. Thank you, I love you x

Your life is an inspiration to all

My inspiration as father and a person We are your acorns we keep growing as will your memory

This is such an inspiring idea to plant tree for life and help rebuild the Caledonian indigenous forest in memory of your dad. Thoughts go out to you and your family, he sounded like an incredible man

Your energy and your revolution lives on and grows every day just as these trees will.

In memory of a very special friend Matt and works colleague from our time together around 1956 in Sunderland at Jacksons The Tailors- R.I.P Matty until we meet again.

With all my love Linda,we had great times we love a lot we struggled together we will meet again in the forest of life in our new universe were no more pain no more hurts freedom is the name of the day

Another year past and another year of amazing inspiration from the dad who gave us everything and more

More trees for Matt! It's easy to 'like', harder to give, hope you get more support to continue to leave a legacy for Matt. Rest in Peace, Rest in Power.

Thanks for being the most amazing dad, for giving me the best upbringing and providing me with your spirit for life. I wish you could be with me here, but I feel you in everything I do.

IN MEMORY OF 'Mac' Lygate. A lovely, genuine man who always had time for myself,my children and my dog. RIP Mac.

"An honest man here lies at rest As e're god with his image blest.The friend of man, the friend of truth;The friend of Age, and guide of youth:Few hearts like his with virtue warm'd,Few heads with knowledge so inform'd:If there's another world, he lives in bliss;If there is none, he made the best of this." Robert Burns

To thole this life I can no longer; Endure it yet i must, Till death at last, that glorious state, Shall render me to dust Why should it be, no man can tell, Are mortals 'made to mourn' why, even when no one did ask, Yet child and man were born! The oak lives through its thousand years, Not stopping to enquire, And when at last its time has run, It ends upon the fire. But man with thinking, conscious mind, Knowing nought , but what has long been known, The surest thing in life is death, As every rose has thorn. What purpose then for mind and heart, When life goes on the same Perhaps its not for us to reason why but just to play the game! The wretched form it staggers on through life which is so brief Its greatest parts the mind and heart oft' shattered and torn by grief The ones who love you have left you now Through death, or worse despair And on your own you try to think But end up with blank stare "I'll end it all!" you shriek inside At last you've reached that stage, Which marks the part when mind and heart Seem governed by pure rage. But wait! That conscious mind, That everloving heart When reasoned, yet unknowing ways Cries out "Tis not time to depart!" There's so much more than this three score And ten years, we call life The greatest part of living is, The challenge of this strife In struggle, man can use his mind, And know himself the better, With courage bold he'll battle on And free himself from fetter.
