A year on………always remembered with a smile x

None of us could ever have imagined having to say goodbye to you so soon. One whole year has almost passed and our grief is still fresh and painful. Amanda finds the strength to get up and carry on everyday and tries to find the positive but we know some days are extremely difficult for her without you. She is your voice now Chaddy especially with Eve and Miles and you would be so proud of all three of them how they have coped and got through this last year without you – they are all so brave and truly inspirational. We will be here for them always as we promised. Tomorrow on your “Angel Day” we will remember you with much love and celebrate the many good times, the fun and life experiences we all shared. We were blessed to have you as our best friend but we still and always will miss you.

We are so sad that your not here with us at this lovely time of year, but we have many memories that are precious - especially this time last year. You were the bestest friend to us Chaddy and we hope that you are partying with the angels at the place that you now rest xxxx

Today is your beautiful little boy Miles 7th Birthday. You would be so proud of him Chaddy especially how he is progressing with his football, being scouted for Blackburn and how well he is playing at Pennine. I was so proud of him at presentation night last Friday when he got up to receive his trophy and only wish we could have shared that together and over a few pints!! Amanda has made it a special birthday for him he has gone off for the day to Alton Towers along with Eve, Conor and Nathan and Teddy and all the Bentley's. They will be having a fab day and I know you will be looking down on them all with a huge smile on your face! I often laugh and smile and remember the many good times we shared - nearly all the memorable stories involve you and me plus drink!! Miss you loads mate x

A very proud day for us on Saturday 18.05.2013 Chaddy - Your godson Nathan made his confirmation and his chosen saints name was St Andrew after you, his amazing Uncle and Godfather. Nathan spoke very proudly to Fr Brindle about why he had chosen to be named after you and he said that you were someone very special who was now in heaven but you are watching over us all x We have been going to mass for some time(even Jason) to prepare Nathan for his sacraments but more so after your passing so we can pray for Amanda, Eve and Miles and also so we can feel closer to you now you are sadly gone. We light a candle in your memory every week and also one for your gorgeous family in the hope it will give them the strength and courage to face the challenges that week may bring. We miss you more with each passing day especially when we have celebrations like this but even though you are not here you are still vey much alive in our thoughts and prayers and will now always be part of our son Nathan now he has taken your name as his confirmation name – Nathan Samuel Andrew Jackson xxxxxxx

Well Chaddy, we never need a special day to bring you to our minds as not a day goes by that Jason and I don't think about you. You have left us with so many wonderful memories but special days like today - Eve your princesses 9th birthday bring back many fond memories of birthday's we have celebrated together over the years in the Dolce with our kids and make us smile and laugh - especially this time last year and that enormous pink birthday cup cake you organised for Eve - you never did do things by halves did you!! Your lovely Amanda has organised a wonderful weekend for Eve's birthday to London and you would be so so proud of them all. We know that you would want Eve to have a fabulous birthday and Amanda has made sure that happens. We also know that you are looking down and smiling over your gorgeous family and them being deeply loved by you and the love you shared has given them the strength and courage to face today and each new day together. Happy Birthday to your darling daughter, our special goddaughter xxx God Bless Chaddy, we really miss you xx Jason & Ange xxx

Mr Andrew D Chadwick. How does one describe such a man in words! I have struggled over time to find them. For a gentleman of such calibre who first became an employer to me and then privileged me with friendship, a gift that speaks louder than any words I could write. I am drawn to the memories of Andrew by his friends, one in particular. That being regardless of age, Andrew always referred to every male as YOUNG MAN. Myself included, despite being some years his senior. That memory put a smile on my face at such a sad time and reminded me of every morning I walked into Andrews office and said good morning Mr Chadwick, only to be greeted by the same words GOOD MORNING YOUNG MAN! However one morning I thought I would break with the traditional greeting and greeted Andrew with good morning mister "C". Andrew looked at me rather indignantly, then thought for a few seconds and with a smile on his face replied good morning Mr"C" (as we shear the same first letter of sir names) This continued to be the mornings greeting, that I sadly miss and began a friendship that I sincerely hoped would have ended in myself departing this world first! Not a man so young as Andrew, having to leave two wonderful children EVE and MILES, " a credit to both " and such a caring,devoted wife AMANDA. Who I might add, has been so strong for so long and despite all adversities has always found time to care for the people around her! I am now left with a space in my life(not comparable to the Chadwick families by any means)only to be filled by memoires of a good man! I would like to leave this page and you all that might read this, with a few words in tribute to ANDREW (R.I.P.) I AM OF TWO BEINGS I AM OF ONE HART, ONE SOUL, ONE MIND I AM PART OF ALL ENTITIES I HAVE COME INTO CONTACT WITH IN THIS WORLD TO NUMEROUS TO MENTION I AM A MOMENT IN TIME TAKE TIME TO THINK OF WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU AND OTHERS AND TELL THEM BEFORE ITS TO LATE !!!!!!!! REMEMBERING ITS NEVER TO LATE !!!!!!!!!!! HAVE COURAGE AND MAY YOUR GODS BE WITH YOU RESPECTFULLY A.B.CROSSLEY

As the hours turn to days and the days to weeks Amanda , Eve and Miles you are still foremost in our thoughts as you struggle to find any sense in your loss and pain. We wish we could take some of the pain away . We all love you very much . Becca and Dom xxx

Oh my darling it hurts so much I just think you are going to walk through the door any second - the pain is unbearable. Cant wait to be with you again one day my lovely x

You were one of the best people I ever had the privilage of knowing. You have taught me what type of man I would like to marry and be the father to my kids, people like you are so rare. You were so caring, loving, loyal, fun to be around and one of the kindest most generous people. A fantastic husband to Amanda, father to Eve and Miles and such a good friend to many. RIP I will never forget you.I will keep in touch with the children and Amanda and try to keep them strong for you. Love Always - Carly xxx

Thinking of you today Amanda, all my love to You, Eve and Miles, Debra Sweetman

To our best friend Chaddy – A True Friend who will never leave our hearts xx We can shed tears that you are gone, or we can smile because you have lived. We can close our eyes and pray that you'll come back, or we can open our eyes and see all you have left. Our hearts can be empty because we can't see you, or they can be full of the love you shared. We can turn our back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or we can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. We can remember you only that you have gone, or we can cherish your memory and let it live on. We can cry and close our mind, be empty and turn our back. Or we can do what you’d have wanted: smile, open our eyes, love and go on. We will miss you more than words can say - Jason, Angela, Conor and Nathan xxxx

Andrew, our brother in law. The most charismatic life lover;we are privaliged to have known you and be part of your family. Memories of the fun we shared will stay with us. We love Amanda, Eve and Miles and will be there for them always. Paula and Steven xxx

Amanda, Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss. I wish I had the power to take away your pain or turn back time. Remember we never lose the people we love, they still live the rest of our lives in our hearts. My thoughts are with you, Eve and Miles. God bless x

Chaddy, I will never forget the day I met you, a cute, blonde haired, blue eyed, very cheeky, very smiley 9yr old, many lovely childhood memories I will treasure always. Sleep in peace Xx.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Andrew Chadwick. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
