My brother passed away on August 3rd, 2008 from getting sick in his sleep. He wasn't only my
brother, but my best friend too and i couldn't ask for anything better. He's one of the easiest
people i know to talk to, and even though he might seem stubborn, he's always willing to help
someone out. He loved to party, work, and work on cars. He had a great sense of humor, just like my
dad also. And the greatest smile in the world, nobody could forget that. He meant everything to me,
and i'll never forget him or let anyone come close to being in his spot. I love you, Nick.

I'm always with you sis

I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way


Love always linda xxx.

"When you were born, on that special day

I held you close to me,

And joy overflowed from deep in my heart

With a power I'd never conceived,

And I knew from that very moment

That you were a gift of love,

Sent to bless my life in so many ways

Truly sent from God above.

Watching you grow was a privilege

Daily marveling at the changes in you,

Finding it hard to contain my excitement

Dreaming of all the future things we'd do.

Both wanting time to slow down and speed up

Sometimes wishing a baby you could stay,

Other times, wishing the years could move faster

Perhaps in my own selfish way.

For I had so many things to show you

Things planned for us to do and see,

Wanting to give you every experience

That a magical childhood would need.

And I loved all the things we did together

To have your sweet shadow following me,

I swelled with pride when you called me "Mummy"

Being your mother meant so much to me.

Words couldn't express my joy at your birth

And will never express the loss in my heart,

Knowing you've left and returned to Heaven

That it was deemed your time to part.

And though I'm not sure how I'll get through this grief

I promise this much my dearest son...to you,

That I'll remember you each day with gladness

For that is what you'd want me to do.

nick,so very special to us

He was so very, very special
And was so from the start
You held him in your arms
But mainly in your heart


And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall,
His life did ripples make
And touched the lives of all.


He's gone to play with angels
In heaven up above
So keep your special memories
And treasure. them with love


Although your darling son
Was with you just a while
He'll live on in your heart
With a sweet remembered smile.

missed so much nick

Even though it hasn't been long
Since the day that you've been gone
People tell me, " time will heal......"
But not having you here seems so unreal.
I feel like I'm living in a dream -
Then reality hits......and I want to scream:
You are my baby , my special one
And with your short life, I know I wasn't done
With teaching and loving and caring that's true,
And all of life's treasures I wanted for you.
I keep thinking what would I do,
If I had another moment to say I love you.
How would I fill that moment I long of,
Except with words conveying my love.
I can't be thankful for what I have not -
But do try and be thankful for all I got.
The time with you so short and sweet,
You always were "mum's special treat."
Lord - my strength is ebbing from yesterday,
Please fill my cup of strength for this day.
Show me the stairway that I have to Climb,
Lord..... for my sake,
Teach me to take..........
One day at a time.

nite nite nick

Beside your grave we often stand;
With heart both crushed and sore.
Silent ‘til the sweet words come;
“Not lost, but gone before”.
God knows how much we miss you;
He counts the tears we shed;
And whispers, “He only sleeps;
Your loved one is not dead”.
So I’ll be brave, dear Brother;
And pray to God each day;
And when He calls me home to you;
Your smile will guide the way.

Love always linda xx

a gift from heaven,dear nick

You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Nicholas, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and sleeping face.

Love always linda xx

precious memories

Beautiful memories
Are wonderful things,
They last till the longest day,
They never wear out,
They never get lost,
And can never be given away.
To some you may be forgotten,
To others a part of the past.
But to us who loved and lost you,
Your memory will always last.

Love always linda xxx

Do you know our pain?
Do you know our hearts are breaking?

Your childhood years with fun and games.
Your teenage years sometimes brought pain.

You were there when you were needed.
Your love for us was all we needed.

Now you're gone and we're still here.
We'll miss you more each passing year.

Our hearts are heavy filled with pain.
Life will never be the same.

We saw a rainbow bright and clear.
We hope that means you're staying near.

If we could have just one more day.
We'd tell you all we didn't say.

We'd tell you how we love you dear.
And how we wish that you were here.

And when our saddest days are done.
One day we'll look and see the sun.

Maybe see a bright blue sky.
A river gently flowing by.

Thoughts of you will ease our pain.
we'll remember you and smile again.

Thank you for all you do for terri and myself,your candles and tributes mean so much,i feel honoured having you as a friend,all my love linda xx

Dear one, your mother misses you;
Finds time long since you went;
Grieving so that you had to go;
Seeking in prayer for content.
The tears that one sheds in silence;
The unbidden sighs of regret;
Are for you because we remember;
Though all the of the world forget.

Love always linda xx
