john potts died on the 15th of october 1997 age 69.he had cancer.
he worked down silverwood pit most of his life.
lived on holly crescent sunnyside ,and loved spending time in sunnnyside working men's club.he was a amazing typical yorkshire man,he was kind ,funny,would do anything for anyone and knew everyone.and i loved him so much.
his wife winnie potts (my mum) died on the 5th of October 2003 .
leaves behind me the youngest daughter christine and ,janet potts and kevin potts.
I miss them both so much and think about them everyday.
my mum died suddenly of a heart attack and we had not spoken for nearly 2 years before this we were really close and went everywhere together.
we fell out over silly little things mainly to do with conflict caused by my brother & sister .in other words very petty.
I really really regret the fall out now and i will never ever get the chance to talk to my mum again or say goodbye,this i have to live with for the rest of my life.
I also nearly didn't go to the funeral because my brother & sister did it all and didnt include me in the arrangments at all.which hurts me so much.but my friend got me to go to the funeral ,and im pleased i did ,as i got the chance to say goodbye.
I've not seen my brother & sister since this day nearly 5 years ago and ive sinced moved away for a fresh start .
I consider myself now to not have any family which I've learnt to accept.
I have my friends who I love very much and wouldn't be here today without them.
I believe in the saying ""friends are the family you choose for yourself""
Missed so Much
Its gives me great sadness to see my little sisters comments
We I am sure miss our beloved parents the same way Has they showed us so much and happiness and love to all of us throughout there years They where the best Parrents anyone could wish for
Miss you so much dad and Mum

god looked around his garden
and found an empty place
then he looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face
he put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
god's garden must be beautiful
he only takes the best
