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...........
I have News....

Even as the sun goes down
to end the light of day
Its rising on a new horizon
Somewhere far away
And though our world seems darker
For the loss of one we miss
Your loved ones life is dawning
In a brighter world than this
marion(emma lyttle,phyllis mckenna)
Don't think of me as dead and gone
Please understand I have just moved on
God took my hand when you thought I had died
And led me over to the other side.
There's a better life than the one we know
And to it one day we all must go
No more pain or hardship, or times of misery
Instead there's all our loved ones
As happy as can be.
You may not see me for a little while
Hear me laugh or see me smile
But I promise you with all my heart
From the ones I love I will never part.
I will always be with you, however far you walk
I will always listen, when you feel you need to talk
So when you are saddened or driven to despair
Take comfort from the knowledge that I am always there.
One day soon I will share with you the happiness I have found
And you will see life doesn't end six feet beneath the ground
Forget about graveside visits and fresh flowers every day
A yearly verse in the papers is surely not the way
When there is something you want to say
Or you wish that I was near
Just talk to me like you always did
I promise I will hear.
David Osborne
All it takes is a passing shadow
as a cloud moves across the sun
to remind us yesterday has gone
and a new day has begun
For although the blossoms may tumble
and leaves scatter in the breeze
What will never ever fade
is the precious memories
THE SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen
miss me, But let me go ....
mandy & julie from stoke on trent relation: gts friends
When i come to the end of the road,
and the sun has set for me.
I want no rights in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little-but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared,
miss me,but let me go.
For this journey we must take,
and each must go alone.
It's all apart of the masters plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely, and sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds
Miss me, but let me go.
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel were with them still
And soothe a grieving heart
They span the years and warm our lives
Preserving ties that bind
Our memories build a special bridge
And bring us peace of mind
If He Could
He would be here if he could
To help relieve your sorrow
He would tell you:
'Time will heal, though maybe not tomorrow'
He would be here if he could
To comfort you in grieving
He would tell you:
'I am at peace, don't fret about my leaving'
He would be here if he could
He gave you his best
After many weary miles
It is now his time to rest
Sandy Clarke
I can't change what you are going through,
I have no words to make a difference
no answers, or solutions to make things easier for you
But if it helps in any way I want to say I care
Please know that even when you're lonely
You're not alone
I'll be here, supporting you with my thoughts
Cheering for you with all my strength
Praying for you with all my heart.
For whatever you need, for as long as it takes
Lean on my love.
thank you
