Joseph Burrell a man of few words who showed his love by actions, left this world on 24th October
2005 after battling a serious illness.
He was born on 23rd August 1926 in Blackwood's Clarendon Jamaica. He was the third of six children
born to Edward and Maud Burrell.
He was very family orientated. He enjoyed entertaining his family at events such as family
reunions. Though not a fussy person, his quiet countenance shaded a determined spirit.
After thirty five years in England, he returned to Jamaica with his wife and made his home in
Blackwood's - the place of his birth. As Jamaicans would say, 'he returned to his roots.'
He was a philanthropist in his own way because he liked helping others. He also had a love for
people and was known to help those in need. He was a very personable person and was very popular,
he was a very private person at times.
Remembrance 4th Anniversary
Dad i came on here on Saturday 24th but did not know what to say, i had mixed emotions. I dreamt you on the Thursday briefly and was waiting for you to come back in my dreams but you never did. I so miss you there are times I think I'm going mad thinking about you. I wish you were here to see how happy I am at this point in my life. I love you and will never forget you.
Your last child June XxX
47th
Happy Independance Day dad, lawd if you were around I can just imagine you and Cecil Gordon at the bar drinking in Frankfield R.I.P
Morning
Morning dad, I bet you've got Terri-Ann making you some fry dumpling. It's so hard dealing with both your deaths they say time is the healer but I doubt I will ever get over this. Missing you so much.
Morning
Morning dad, just got back from Jamaica for Terry-Ann'd funeral lawd it was a tragic experience one that I do not want to go through again. Mum held up a little but then she just broke down and that's the worst to see your mum crying/bawling out. But now she has two angels looking down on her and giving her the guidance and strength to cope with this. I love you and miss you so much.
God's eyes are open
It's been so long since I have written to you dad and I hope you forgive me and it's not because I have forgotton about you. Sometimes when I come unto this site it can become quite emotional and words are sometimes hard to put together. Anyway it's now 2009 and the family have started the year with sadness my darling Terri-Ann was taken away from us on Monday 5th January unexpectedly we are all still in shock I keep asking why? why? how could this happen she was in fine spirits when I last spoke to her. But God has not taken her from us in vain he has seen an Angel in Terri-Ann please look after her and her you I miss you love your wash-belly June
Long time
Afternoon it's been a while since I have wriiten something but your still im my heart, it's difficult to think of things to write sometimes becasue my emotions can be mixed. Nearly yet another christmas is approaching and you will not be there in body but I know you will be in Spirit I love you so much. Say helloe to the rest of the family Aunt Ruby, Aunt Merdie, Aunt Etlin, Uncle Edward, Uncle George, grandma and grandad. I wonder if Aunt Ruby have you under manners lol.
'3' Years - WoW
I can't believe three years have gone already, it seems like the other day I was in Jamaica on the veranda sitting on your lap I have that picture on my phone and your voice was hoarse, and then you coming over the end of June 2005 and then the whole world went crazy for me. You shouldn't have died me being selfish always thought what right does a parent have to die and leave us behind but hey life isn't always fair I've come to realise that. I love you enormously dad and miss you every day.
