British Heart Foundation Kielder forest Hearts first hike - Sunday 2nd November 2008
Nic and I took part in the above event, on a very cold but sunny sunday morning. It was physically
one of the hardest things I have done, a 9 mile hike in and around Kielder forest, but we did it and
raised over £450 between us. Thank you to all who sponsored us. Andrea & Nic xxx
Charity Night in Memory of Ian - Saturday 31st May 2008
Update :- We raised a total of £1916.37 which is being split between The British Heart Foundation
and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Thanks Again to everyone who helped us raise this money.
Ian, you always said that when you died you would want everyone to have a big party and enjoy
themselves, well your wish came true.
Tracey Cooper asked me a few months ago if she could organise a charity night in your memory and she
did an amazing job, you would have been so proud of her. We all had a brilliant night.
Piers, Amanda and Simon would have given Tracey and her family a standing ovation, they were
excellent, everyone enjoyed the show so much - Greg, you would have probably got 3 Buzz’s but that
took a lot of bottle, I am sure Ian was singing and playing Guitar with you.
Thank you to everyone who came on the night, donated Prizes, bought raffle tickets, and helped raise
lots of money for the British Heart Foundation and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Also Thanks to everyone
who donated on my Just Giving site, the site is still open for donations, if anyone wants the link
please contact me.
Special Thank you’s to:
Tracey, Brian, Laura, Michael and their Family and Friends
Everyone who took part in the Talent Show
A.C.E Services for the PA system
Andy Winter
Royal Mail Doxford Sports and Social Club
Ian’s Friends and Colleagues

Thank you
Lots of Love

**************************************************
Ian Died suddenly at home on 10/02/07 just 8 days away from his 38th Birthday.
His Funeral was a celebration of his Life. Ian was not religious so I chose a Humanist service which
meant the service was all about him (he would have loved being centre of attention again)
The Music I chose
Tunnel of Love - Dire Straits, this was a special song for Ian and me
Hotel California - Eagles, goes without saying this was his favourite song
My Way - Sex Pistols, Ian always had to have the last word and the last laugh.
Ian was funny, a joker, a wind up merchant, he was intelligent and talented, sensitive, caring, and
a dare devil.
No matter what bad mood you were in or how down you felt Ian would make you feel better and make you
laugh.
The last conversation you had with my family was that it was about time you started acting sensible.
No way could you ever be sensible and I loved that.
Ian you are a one in a million, we had our star in the sky - you are now that star shining brightly.
I can’t believe you are gone and miss you so much but take some comfort in knowing You lived life
to the full and did everything you wanted to do. You were my soul mate and my best friend I will
love you always and forever Mr Fleming until we meet again. Your devoted wife AndreaX
Cass misses you loads and dreams of the day you will meet again and take her for a walk chasing
rabbits.
Please leave a tribute to Ian or light a candle for him, these words bring so much comfort to me
knowing he won't be forgotten.
An emotional Weekend
This weekend will be such an emotional weekend for me I'm moving house, a new chapter in my life I'm sad I'm leaving our home but excited about my new home.
This weekend is also the date I first met you 21 years ago. Who knows maybe its a sign that you are happy for me and want me to start this new chapter of my life, I hope so.
I still miss you everyday and will love you forever.xxx
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
To be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and Uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine
Valentine
Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
And share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself, and center
Clarity, peace, serenity
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
Moving On
I never thought it would happen but I've made some huge decisions in my life and I am moving on! I sometimes feel guilty that I'm leaving you behind but I know you will always be in my heart and with me everyday in everything I do. I think you would approve of what I'm doing, its really scary doing it all by myself, I really miss talking everything through with you and you giving me reassurance, but I do feel excited, confident and positive about my future.
Miss you always, Love you forever

18th Wedding Anniversary
Every now and then, soft as breath upon my skin, I feel you come back again. It’s like you haven’t been gone a moment from my side. Like the tears were never cried, like the hands of time are holding you and me. No longer in my life to share our wedding anniversary but in my heart your always there.
I will Love you always and forever Ian

Happy 40th Flem
What would have you and Andrea planned for your 40th? you loved life Ian and all the fab things you and Andrea did together. You lived your short life to the full. You used to torcher both Andrea and i at work and because Andrea was your wife you thought that you had priority over everyone, even though we told you no we always ended up helping you one way or another, you could charm the birds from the trees with your cheeky smile. You always made us laugh with your impressions and wit (sum of it i did not understand so i always had to ask Andrea).You would be so proud of Andrea Ian i cant believe how strong she has become and still has that fab laugh which always reminds me of you. I am sure you are in every one's thoughts today and always mate you have left a place no one can fill an act no one can follow. Well mate Happy 40th Birthday.Jackie & Family x
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted
Have you ever Thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don’t care
It’s only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning
The breathe before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You’re whole life waiting on the ring to prove you’re not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It’s only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breathe before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breathe and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?
I have.
2 years today
I can not belive its 2 years there is not a day goes by that i dont think of you and the silly things you got me to do. I just wish we could have stayed in touch and you could see what two lovely young men sam and dylan have turned into. Our Sam is football mad just like you and Dylan is in a band just like you.
