Keith Floyd, best known for his energetic presenting style, glass of red wine and bow ties, has
passed away earlier today after suffering a heart attack.

Floyd, 65 , revealed the he had been diagnosed with bowel cancer back in July. BBC news has
reported that his death was announced earlier today. His last appearance was at the Piotrish Food
Guide on 9 September 2009

He was known for taking his cooking out of the kitchen and all over the world, starring in a number
of popular TV programs on BBC and Channel 5 including Floyd on France, Floyd Uncorked and Floyd on
Italy. He also owned and run several restaurants.

Celebrity chef Marco Pierre White paid tribute to a "beautiful man".

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Keith, in my opinion, was an exceptional human being. He had
great qualities.

"His ability to inspire people to cook just with his words and the way he did things was
extraordinary.

"If you look at TV chefs today they don't have his magic. It's a very, very, very sad day for my
industry and secondly for a nation.

"The thing which is very sad is a little piece of Britain today died which will never be replaced.
He was a beautiful man."

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

with love theresa xxx

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE CALLED HEAVEN

There is a beautiful place called Heaven
Where all our angels stay
Heaven has a lovely garden
Where red roses grow everyday
Heaven's gate is made of gold
Heaven is made full of love so i've been told
For a little angel from up above
Came to me in my dreams and blew me lots of love
The angel in my dreams said to me...
This kiss i give you is from your angel in heaven you see
The angel said my loved one could not come to me
For my loved one is resting in Heaven and pain free
The angel also told me..
They have music up in Heaven above
The Cherubs are playing on their harps
And their music is made with love
The angel said Heaven has soft fluffy clouds..
That look like marshmallows all blue and white
The angel said it was a beautiful sight
The angel told me Heaven had candles made of gold
And God made them especially..
For all the beautiful angels to hold
Now the angel has told me Heaven is a beautiful place to be
When it's my turn to go to heaven..
I will be reunited with my loved one and fly free.
FLY HIGH ANGEL FLY FOR YOU ARE NOW FREE
