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...........
For Sonia xxx
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Together Again
A limb has fallen from the family tree,
I keep hearing a voice that says,
'Grieve not for me.'
Remember the best times,
the laughter, the song,
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue traditions,
no matter how small,
Go on with your lives,
don't just stare at the wall.
I miss you all dearly,
so keep up your chin,
Until the day comes,
and we're all Together Again
Keep your heart beating with the loving memories, and believe in yourself to help guide you through, Know that although life moves on, the beauty of love stays behind to surround and embrace you. Your loved ones have left you that.....to hold in your heart forever
A Loved one is a treasure of the heart, and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself. But the love that this person brought to you did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers. It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever
Gently I gather and treasure them all,
Unseen, unheard, you are always near,
STILL LOVED, still missed, so very dear.
No length of time can take away,
My thoughts of you from day to day,
Whatever else I fail to do,
I never fail to think of you.

And if I go, while you're still here....
Know that I live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
Behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
So you must have faith.
I wait for the time when
We can soar together again,
Both aware of each other.
Until then, Live your life to its fullest
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart...
I will be there.
By Emily Dickinson
I kook into my heart, your name is written there
I remember the love that we did share
I close my eyes, your beloved face appears
Guiding me lovingly through the years
I miss your smile, your tender ways
So much I do recall, so many happy days
Nor can they be time nor tide, ever be erased
Written by Jean Salloway
There's a pain beyond imagining
That’s burning in your heart
For suddenly your whole world
Has been cruelly ripped apart.
All words of consolation
Which are bound to come your way
Will probably seem empty
And of little use today.
For when you ask the question why
It makes no sense at all
That one so precious had to die.
The only source of comfort
Is your memories and the love
And they will shine forever
Like the brightest star above.
A flame that burns eternally
So strong it lights the sky
And even through your darkest days
That flame will never die.
So many people share your pain
We grieve with you as one.
The gift of life gets taken back
But the love goes on and on
