In loving memory of my dad, Stephen John Goulding. Sadly my dad passed away suddenly in the early hours of the 28th August 2017.

My dad was in wythenshaw hospital awaiting tests for a slight breathing problem, he had fought with cancer and won early last year as well as recovering from a heart transplant in 2011, when i was only 11. As of yet we do not know what happened or why.

As you can guess as a family we are truly in pieces, we have lost a huge part of our lives and do not know how to cope without him, this was so unexpected and so far unexplained we are in utter shock.

I am trying to help my mum with the sudden unexpected bill of a funeral, I am not expecting anything to come of this but just thought I would try.

My dad was my world and I am so glad he was able to walk me up the aisle in April this year. He was a great joiner always helping when he could and enjoyed telling us his stories from playing for Widnes Vikings, which I an currently researching more into, he was an amazing father, grandfather and husband who will be utterly missed forever.
