My mom now has a site (Margaret Fletcher) Please visit Thank you xxxxxxxxxx.
Mervyn Samuel Fletcher was born on 28th April 1935. Mervyn was murdered in a street robbery on the
20th October 2004 aged 69 years.
Mervyn owned and ran a small lock factory H.E.Fletcher in New Invention,Willenhall, the village he
lived his whole life in.
He ran the business with his brother Harold.Mervyn was the youngest child of Samuel Fletcher and
Ruth Clewley.As well as his brother Harold, Mervyn had twin sisters Joy and Jean.
Mervyn married My mom Margaret in 1957,Margaret died in 1991 aged 55 years,following a brave battle
with cancer.
They had two daughters Theresa and myself Sonia.Also four beautiful grandchildren.
Mervyn now has two new grandchildren Twins Maisie and Finnlay born on the 30th of December
2007.Maisie and Finnlay my children will never meet their wonderful grandad because of that MONSTER
!!!!
Mervyn was stolen from us in a most violent and cowardly way.He was beaten to death outside his own
home and left to die in his garden all for the sake of his wallet.If only that was the only thing
that was stolen that night............
Mervyn was the kindest most gentle man you could ever wish to meet.
He was a true gentleman and was loved by all who knew him.
Update 30/03/07 At 2.45pm today, 40yr old Mustafa Abdullah(Real name George Nwabuko) of Walsall, was
found guilty of the robbery and murder of Mervyn.
He has been sentenced to life imprisionment of which he must serve 25 years before any consideration
can be given to parole.Its unlikely he will ever be released......
13th May 2007.......
I now feel able to explain the circumstances surrounding my my Dad's death.My dad spent
Wednesday the 20th of October 2004, visiting me with his sister Joy (who sadly passed away 10 months
after Mervyn).
I spoke to my dad at 7pm when he got home from his visit.
The following morning i got a phone call to say my dad had been found dead in his garden and it
appeared he had been there all night.
The 1st pathologist said it looked as if my dad had fallen and had died as a result of his
injuries.
The police said they were treating his death as unexplained??
On the following Tuesday i attempted to notify my dads banks of his death i was told by the first
one that my dads account was empty!!!!! and had been used that day.
The other bank had the sense to spot it was not normal for my dad to withdraw such large amounts and
had stopped useage in total about £3000 had been taken from my dads accounts.
I contacted the local police, they told us to cancel my dads funeral and a 2nd pathologist carried
out more tests which came back unconclusive??
My dad's Funeral could be held,so it took place on the 9th November 2004.
It was in that week i was told by a Detective That my dad had NOT been Murdered !!! and i was a
"Drama Queen with an overactive imagination".
I won't name the Detective you know who you are....... In that week a new police team took
over thank goodness.
An arrest had already been made concerning the usage of my dads bankcards.The offender made a court
appearance charged with the card usage it was the first time i saw my dads killer......
In June 2005, the police took the step of exhuming my dads body for another pathogist to carry out
more tests.
This pathogist found that my dad had 28 separate injuries including skull fractures,broken ribs and
a shattered shoulder blade. My dad had been beaten to death with a Dumb bell Bar........
Thankfully enough evidence was found to charge the offender with the robbery and murder of my dad
and has you already know, he was convicted and sentenced in March 2007
Thanks to the hard work of the new police team, the 3rd pathlogist and The Barrister justice was
at last done..We will be forever grateful to them...........

We are one tomorrow !!!!Our little brother is due anyday.
lots of love,hugs and kisses Maisie and Finnlay xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A SPECIAL PERSON
A SPECIAL FACE
SOMEONE WE LOVE
AND CAN NEVER REPLACE.
Sweet dreams Mervyn x
Love to you sonia and your family, Always in my thoughts, louise xxx
I am going on a journey
To a place I long to go
A land that’s filled with angels
Where the peaceful valleys flow.
I have no need for luggage
So I plan to travel light
A first-class trip to heaven
It’s a non-returning flight.
There won’t be tears of sadness
Sweet blessings I will reap
A torch will burn eternal
And the soul doth never sleep.
I do not need an auto
There is no bus or train
My journey is predestined
And I won’t be back again.
No need for food or shelter
Everything I need is there
My home that lies in heaven
Is a joy beyond compare.
I am ready for my venture
Got the voucher in my hand
I’m bound for Zion glory
In that far-off distant land.
I am headed for that City
My flight was paid for me
To a land of peace and beauty
Just beyond the crystal sea.
I soon will have my ticket
There is no need to pack
On a one-way trip to heaven
And I won’t be coming back.
May the Stars carry your sadness away
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty
May Hope forever wipe away your tears
And above all may silence make you strong.

My Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless
Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
was always most important in
the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
my Father said to do.
I can't count the blessing or love He
has for each of you.
To my family and friends, please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you, in a new special way
I love you all dearly, now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my Christmas with Jesus this year
For Sonia
Think of me and know Iam with you,
Think of me and smile.
Think of me and know that our parting
Is only for a while.
On the days that you feel desperate
To see my smiling face,
Just believe in your heart I am with you
And that i'm in a beautiful place.
So think of me and remember,
All the memories in your heart,
And believe and know that this is true,
We are never really apart.
For Sonia
As a friend I do wish you
The best of life's blessings
And freedom from sickness and pain.
May your prayers and oblations,
As blooms of carnations,
Flourish in sunshine and rain.
May the blessings of heaven
Be showered upon you
With favor from God and from man.
May you harvest with pleasure
The fruits of your labor
To share with whoever you can.
May the dew in the morning
Refresh and delight you,
And your days be filled with great peace.
May your nights without number
Be filled with sweet slumber;
Your dreams filled with hope ne'er cease.
When Angels sense you need them, and they always do
They come unseen, from everywhere
To help and comfortyou
They hover close beside you
Til all your cares are gone
Til they can see youre ready
Once again to carry on
Then some of them may fly away
And take their gentle touch
To other hearts that need the love
Of Angels very much
But one , at least stays with you
As your constant friend and guide
For Guardian Angels never leave
They are always by your side
