helicopter and a lifeboat crew spent more than two hours searching for Mr Valvona before his body
was found washed up on a nearby beach just before 5am.
Mr Valvona lived in Paddock with his Fiancee of nine years, Melissa Fieldhouse.
She said: "Darren was Darren. He would do anything for anybody and was a lovely man."
Mr Valvona came from a large family of Italian origin.
His parents, Ted and Denise, live in Lockwood.
Mr Valvona was one of five children. His siblings were Charlotte, Lisa, Andrew and Tony. Younger
brother Tony died tragcly 5 years ago.

He came from a big family and had been with his Fiancee Melissa Fieldhouse, for several years.

Melissa has three other children, Kriston, 16, Arron, 15, and Bethany, 13.

daughter Levi from menigitus in 1996 when she was just 11 weeks old.

"He had a wonderful loving side to his nature, but kept his emotions very private."
He was very close to his brother, Tony, who died five years ago.
Their sister, Lisa, 33, said: "They were inseparable and when Tony died Darren said it was like
he had lost half of himself.
"He loved Mel and the kids. If they wanted anything, they got it."
Joseph, a pupil at Paddock Junior School close to the family home at Heaton Road, said: "Dad
was wonderful.
"He'd take me ice-skating, 10-pin bowling and out on the back of his motorbike."

DONT GRIEVE FOR ME

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.

HE IS GONE

You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want:
smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.

SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE

A million times I've needed you
A million times I have cried,
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.

In Life I loved you dearly
in death I love you still,
For in my heart you hold
A place no one could ever fill.

It broke my hearts to lose you.
But you did not go alone,
For a part of me went with you
the day God took you home.

Loving you Eternally Babes Mel XxxxxxxxX

LIES

My Mel, she tells a lot of lies
She never did before.
From now until the day she dies.
She'll tell a whole lot more.
She used to tell the truth, a lot
But now it doesn't matter.
I died and went to heaven,
Her life is all a-shatter.
Ask my Mel how is she.
She'll say, "Yes, I'm fine!"
She wants to beg "Please help me.
I can't find that man of mine!"
Ask my Mel, how is she,
She'll say, "I'm alright."
If that's the truth then tell me,
Why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mel, how is she,
She seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice, you see,
Nor the strength to yell.
You think you know the feeling,
But this cannot be.
For even though you loved me,
You didn't love as much as she.
She will smile and tell you,
"It's o.k. God has a plan."
But she will turn away and cry
'Cause she just can't understand.
Tell a joke and she will laugh,
But she is not o.k.
She wants to share the joke with me,
But it will not be today.
I watch from here, in Heaven.
Her distress disturbs my peace.
Will someone please take care of her,
And thus take care of me?
"Some day you will feel better."
"Yes I will." she lies.
She knows this will not happen,
Until the day she dies.
"I was so lucky!
I had him all those years!"
(They passed in a minute,
I shed so many tears.)
Ask my Mel how is she,
She'll say, "Thank you. Good."
She cannot tell you how she feels.
Oh, how I wish she could.
Ask my Mel how is she,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."
For God's sake, Mel, just tell the truth
Just say your heart is broken.
Ask my Mel how is she,
"I'm well, I'm good. And you?"
I'll shake my head in Heaven.
It simply isn't true.
She'll love me all her life.
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask how is she,
She'll lie and say she's fine.
Her carnival is over.
She's stepped off the carousel.
But, to save you feeling badly,
She'll say, "Thanks, all is well."
My Mel, she's not gone mad, yet.
But, oh so very nearly.
Don't ask my Mel how is she,
Ask how is she, really.
I am here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you, don't listen.
Hug her, hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here Mel,
With all the lies you told!

I Miss You Darren You Was The Closest Person To Me...! love you sooo much Mcbeth xXx
