Sir Bobby Robson, 76, has passed away after a long battle with lung cancer.

He is widely regarded as the most successful England manager since 1966, leading the England
football team to the World Cup semi finals in 1990. Bobby also gained 20 caps for the England team
during his playing days.

Robsons playing career started in Fulham in 1950, eventually moving to West Bromwich Albion. Sir
Bobby also managed Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, PSV Eindhoven, FC Porto and Newcastle United during
his coaching career, collecting the European Manager of the Year in 1997 with Barcelona, the UEFA
cup in 1981 and the FA Cup in 1978, as well as a number of domestic league trophies.

Sir Bobby has battled cancer 5 times since 1991. In 2007, it was diagnosed as terminal.

His final public appearance was in July 2009 at St James Park, at a charity match in his honour
between Robsons 1990 world cup squad and a Germany XI attended by 33,000 fans. One of the guests at
the match, Paul Gasgoigne, said:

"Sir Bobby is a legend over the world. He was the one who gave me my first run-out for the England
team.

When I saw him it was quite heartbreaking to see him that way but he is battling away and keeping on
top of it, which is great.

He’s battling cancer for the fifth time. It takes a man to beat it once but he’s doing it for a
fifth time."

He leaves behind Elsie, his wife of 59 years, and his 3 sons Andrew, Paul and Mark.

My broken Heart..
Will never mend
So lots of kisses..
I shall send
We think of you..
In a better place
With beautiful wings..
And a smile on your face

Every day is a struggle you see
Trying to cope..
So please help me

How do I cope?
I do not know
My Heart is broken..
So that goes to show

I can't accept you are gone
I need you here..
Please keep me strong
Stay by my side..
Show me the way
Help me to cope every day

I love and miss you so much..
And I always will
Since you have been gone..
Time has stood still

I think of you in Heaven..
With Gods Angels up above
Please my precious Angel..
Watch over me with love

Rest In Peace

It was November 2003, the switching on of the Christmas Lights at Dalton Park Shopping Centre, Murton, Co. Durham, Sir Bobby Robson switching on the lights, normally anyone associated with Newcastle United would not really be too welcome in what is really the heart of Sunderland territory, but Sir Bobby Robson was different, he was a local County Durham lad who done good, a working class hero.

After you switched on the lights Bobby, you went to the management suite of the shopping centre, me and my friends hung about waiting for you, security and the police tried to move us on, but we had none of it and waited patiently for you, when you came out, we were told you only had 5 minutes before you had to leave, but you came over and talked to us for 5-10 minutes, taking the mickey out of a couple of my friends for supporting Sunderland, which we all had a good laugh about, but being who you are, we just ribbed you about managing Newcastle and having the balls to step into enemy territory.

Bobby, when you passed, I went upto St James', I was wearing a Sunderland shirt and thought I would get some grief for simply wearing the shirt, but my fears were put to one side when one fan came up to me and shook my hand, thanked me for coming, and we both agreed that there was only one man who could bring rivals together like that, that bitterness could be put to one side to commemorate one man, and that man was you Sir Bob.

God really pulled off one of the best transfer signings into heaven this July, he made one of the greatest acquisitions to his heavenly coaching team, with yourself, Sir Alf Ramsey, Brian Clough, Bob Stokoe, he has got one hell of a team at that football club in the sky

Rest In Peace Sir

I hope we meet up again one day on the other side

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your Heart

I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night

I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved One’s arms
And tell them they're from me

Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turn to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile

Because remembering them is easy,
We do it every day
But there's an ache within our Hearts
Because we are missing them today...

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Although Death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.

Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon

Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our Hearts.
May the lighting of this tribute be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,

A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Tributes for today,Sat,and Sunday.
Love always,Lynn.xxx

Next To You
You cannot see or touch me
But I’m standing next to you
Your tears will only hurt me
Your sadness makes me blue
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through
I love you from a different place
Yet I’m standing next to you

Tomorrow

If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my Heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.

* ♥
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the Heavens,
And it will heal the scars.

* ♥

Love Lives On

* ♥ + * ♥ + * ♥
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.

* ♥
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the Heart.

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.XxX

~ There Is A Place ~

♥****♥****♥****♥****♥****♥

There is a place high up above
Where Angels dwell, so full of love;
Soft music plays and rainbows fair
Swirl round the mansion God prepared.
There is much laughter, joyous glee
In this great place we all shall be.
And in the glorious days to come,
The Angels greet their loved ones home,
They wrap their wings around so tight,
And guide them up into the light.
This paradise waits for all who pray,
For those that believe in God, come what may,
For death is no more in His Heaven above,
Just happiness dwelling in sweet Angel's love.

♥****♥****♥****♥****♥****♥
