♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you to everyone who lit candles, and left tributes for Lucy on her birthday. It
was very much appreciated, and helped me to get through a very difficult day ♥ ♥ ♥

Lucy died on 31 January 2005, aged 18 years.
She lived near Blairgowrie and had just started working as a shop assistant in Safeway, Perth.
Lucy has two sisters, Heidi who is now 25, and her twin sister Melissa, who is 21.
Lucy died after being struck by a car near her home, on 28/01/2005, while on her way home from work.


Lucy was a very special person who always seemed to be happy. She was a best friend as well as a
daughter and was very close to both her sisters. She liked doing all the usual teenage things such
as shopping, listening to music, going to the cinema, etc., but she also enjoyed spending time with
me and we would regularly go out on our bikes, cook new recipes, and watch films together. She
loved celebrations, especially Christmas, and would spend ages thinking of the perfect gift to get
for everyone.
She was really excited when she got her job in Safeway and she really seemed to be enjoying it.
Unfortunately, she had only been there for three weeks before her accident. She had also been
planning to go to college and had already applied for a place. Learning to drive was also something
she wanted to do and she had decided to take lessons as soon as she could. Unfortunately, she was
not able to do either of these things and we will never know what she would have achieved in life.
It is very difficult going through life knowing that your child is no longer here and you are left
wondering what might have been.

LOVE AS ALWAYS XXX KATHLEEN

Kathleen Samantha Brown'S Mummy (Friend) Yesterday evening

Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.


Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November



FOR MONDAY



The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.


FOR TUESDAY


Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.


FOR WEDNESDAY


A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.


FOR THURSDAY


Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.



FOR FRIDAY


The Watcher

They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.

And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.

Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.

Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.



FOR SATURDAY


As We Look Back


As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?

For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems

And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?

We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things

Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.



FOR SUNDAY


To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me


When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart

I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear

Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

Light a Candle

Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the gravesite.
They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.

Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.

Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong.

Tributes For Week Starting 16th November


FOR MONDAY

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.

FOR TUESDAY

I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.

FOR THURSDAY

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.


FOR FRIDAY

Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home

The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain

But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace

Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.


FOR SATURDAY

Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...

It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.

My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know..
.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.


FOR SUNDAY

When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds -
Miss me, but let me go.

Tributes For Week Starting 9th November


FOR MONDAY

Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

FOR TUESDAY

Loving you is easy,
We do it every day,
Missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

FOR WEDNESDAY

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.

FOR THURSDAY

Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane I so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.


FOR FRIDAY

Wings Of The Angels

A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.

Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother's sent.

On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn.

FOR SATURDAY

If I Had One Last Day

If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied

I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay

You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"

Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"

If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart

If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.

FOR SUNDAY

Cry Not My Friend

When you wake up tomorrow
And I am no where to be found
When you scream out my name
To the emptiness around

When every beat inside your heart
Is skipping and unsure
Cry not my friend for I am here,
Inside your love so pure

When the waves that used to touch our feet
Have gone back out to sea
When everything you once held dear
Was lost when you lost me

When the sun that once lit up your face
Is setting far away
Cry not my Friend for time shall pass,
But my love for you will stay

When age arrives and children play
And pain creeps up on you
When loved ones show you happiness
That your life never knew

When all of your expectations are met,
No matter what the pain
Cry not my friend, for I am waiting
To hold you once again

When beauty in your eyes turn grey
And all of the rainbow, white
When strong undying hearts
No longer feel an urge to fight

When winter snows become more pain
Than beauty in your heart
Cry not my friend, for I am here
And we will never ever part
