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...........

Thank you
I just want to thank you for being there for me and for being so kind to remember my brother's site even when I have not been able to do so for your loved one. It's sad but so many people have the attitute that 'if you light one for me, I will light one for you'. Boy is that an awful way to show sincere friendship and compassion huh? But you've been there for me and Jr. and I thank you with all of my heart. Things seem to be just a bit better for me, every day is a struggle and a challenge. And it means so much when I am able to come to his site and see that others care enough to not forget us. Thank you sweetie, with all of my heart. I found this little poem that I wanted to share with all of my friends.
Rosemary
Friendship is a priceless gift,
That cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater,
Then a mountain made of gold,
So when you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if He sends,
Not diamonds, pearls,or riches,
But the Love of real, true friends.

For Sonia. xx
May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding will always be there,
even when you feel most alone.
May a kind word,
a reassuring touch,
and a warm smile
be yours every day of your life,
and may you give these gifts
as well as receive them.
May the teachings of those you admire
become part of you,
so that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched
and who have touched yours
are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter
that is more important than its form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters,
but instead place immeasurable value
on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see beauty and love
in the world around you.
Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard
you may be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent
on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.
God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.
But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labour,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.
For Sonia with so much thanks for all your support
Please don’t mourn for me
I’m still here, though you can’t see
I’m right by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I’m always near
I’m everything you feel see or hear
My spirit is free but I’ll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart
I’ll never wander out of your sight
I’m the brightest star on a summer night
I’ll never be beyond your reach
I’m the warm moist sand when your at the beach
I’m the colourful leaves when fall comes around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground
I’m the beautiful flowers of which your so fond
The cool clear water in a quiet pond
I’m the first bright blossom you’ll see in the spring
The first warm raindrop that April will bring
I’m the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine
And you’ll see that the face in the moon is mine
When you start thinking there’s no one to love you
You can talk to me through the lord above you
I’ll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees
And you’ll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze
I’m the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come when you sleep
I’m the smile you see on a baby’s face
Just look for me, friend, I’m everyplace!
No further away than a picture
A smile, a remembered phrase
Our loved ones live in memory
So close in many ways
For how often does a sunset
Bring nostalgic thoughts to mind
Of moments that our loved one shared
In days now left behind
How often has a flower
Or a crystal autumn sky
Brought golden recollections
Of happy days gone by
Yes, memory has a magic way
Of keeping loved ones near
Ever close in mind and heart
Are the ones we hold most dear

For Sonia xxx
There will come a day
when the tears of sorrow
will softly flow into
tears of remembrance...
and your heart will begin
to heal itself...and grieving
will be interrupted by episodes
of joy...and you will hear
the whisper of hope.
There will come a day
when you will welcome the
tears of remembrance...
as a sunshower of the soul...
a turning of the tide...
a promise of peace.
There will come a day
when you will...
risk loving...
go on believing...
and treasure the
tears of remembering.
What you have once enjoyed you can never lose...All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.'
Marion(emma lyttle,phyllis mckenna)
You're in my heart Dad
When somebody says
I remind them of you,
it's a very proud moment for me,
for the things that made you
a wonderful dad
are the things I would most
want to be...
And I'm hoping you know
that the memories we've shared
and the lessons you've taught
from the start
will always be with me
wherever I go...
For, like you,
they'll be kept
in my heart...
