Goodnight & Godbless Dad

My father and fellow FL2 owner was tragically knocked off his pedal cycle and killed on 24/11/2011. I've wanted to post sooner, but my family and I have been living in hell ever since. His funeral was yesterday and my family and I will stop at nothing to establish the truth, as the driver's account of events does not add up.

I know it'll never bring him back, but he was one in a million and I'll miss him forever - Love you Dad xxx Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

So sorry Phil, nothing any of us can say will remove the hurt you feel right now but time really is a great healer. I hope you will soon be able to smile when remembering the good times.

Terrible news especially at this time of the year! There is nothing one can say to make you feel better as the pain is very deep. May your father Rest In Peace & God be with you & your family at this dreadfull time.

On another note, let's hope they catch the culprit & deal with accordingly. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

Most sincere condolences to you. I hope this does not offend in any way but I find this poem comforting having heard it read out at my uncle's funeral recently:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
