thankyou so much all our gts friends who have kept lee's candles burning brightly whilst l have not
been feeling too good ,it is very much appreciated,love marie x
Lee ,my beautiful son was a bundle of fun and energy from the day he was born ,never slept much as a
baby slept even less as a teenager.His love of life and his boundless energy got him involved in
lots of things.At school he was the class clown spent more time in the corridoor than behind his
desk but the teachers loved him he was just one of those kids you couldn't help liking.He played
football for the school team and for east middlesbrough,he also was very involved with preforming
arts appearing in nearly all the school productions but his first love was his music anything from
hardcore to Frank Sinatra.His ambition was to be a music producer,l dont doubt for one minute that
had he been given more time he would have been one ,and one of the best. Whilst at college he also
helped out with pig pen productions he loved it ,it was his first taste of the music industry,it was
then he started losing weight and generally being unwell.On October 2nd 2000 we learned he had
leaukaemia,and his world came crashing down around him,not that he moaned ever.The search was on for
a donor and one was found in wales only for him to pull out days before Lee was due to get his
transplant that was his only hope.Sadly Lee became very ill shortly after that and was told he was
in fact dying.His strength and will to live was so strong that on June the4th we were told he had
just 24 hours to live,he lived till October 15th,a testiment to his strength and courage ,he wasn't
ready to go till he had made it easier for us,he planned his funeral,wrote his will and said his
goodbye to everybody at his confirmation party in september. He said l'm not dying just getting
ready "TO START MY NEXT ADVENTURE" we put that on his headstone.Thats my beauiful son. Lee left us
all to soon but gave us a lifetime of love and happiness to remember him by x
The first song "cancer" sang by my chemical romance ,could have been written for Lee .lt says so
much that actually happened ,he didnt like the way the chemo and illness ravaged his body,leaving
him with no body hair eye lashes the lot dissappeared. he would never get to marry,he asked to be
buried in his favourite colours .when it got to the end it wasn't living waiting to go and he told
me the hardest thing was having to leave us all. l only heard this song a few weeks ago,it brought
tears to my eyes but it is so apt,l hope you like it Lee.
The second song "everybody hurts sometimes" was played at Lee's funeral,his choice because everybody
does hurt sometime but it gives hope its ok to cry but hold on dont give up everybody has these
times sometime, so thats what we do hold on for better times .
The third song "yellow" just because it reminds us !
thankyou from the bottom of my heart everyone who has lit a candle or left a tribute for lee and
given me some much needed support,it means so much love marie x

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"

TRIBUTE FOR 19-11-09
♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09
Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 22-11-09
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
You gave us love
And lots more,

Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.

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.

My Guardian Angel
My angel's right beside me,
wherever I may go,
keeping close watch over me,
he's my son don't you know.
God took him away from me,
not so long ago,
but he promised he'd never leave me,
dear lord I miss him so.
But I know he's right beside me,
wherever I may go,
for he's my guardian angel,
my love, my life, my soul.
In my thoughts and prayers. Love Liz, Stuart's mum xx

Love Shines Through
Like a shadow in the moonlight
Like the whisper of the seas
Like the echoes of a melody
Just beyond our reach
In the shadow of our sorrow
Past the whisper of goodbye
Love shines through eternity
A heartbeat from our eye

TIME WILL EASE THE HURT
by Bruce B. Wilmer
The sadness of the present days
Is locked and set in time,
And meaning to the future
Is a slow and painful climb.
But all the feelings that are now
So vivid and so real
Can't hold their fresh intensity
As time begins to heal.
No wound so deep will ever go
Entirely away;
Yet every hurt becomes
A little less from day to day.
Nothing can erase the painful
Imprints on your mind;
But there are softer memories
That time will let you find.
Though your heart won't let the sadness
Simply slide away,
The echoes will diminish
Even though the memories stay.

Memories ?
Memories fill the empty space
Where you used to lie
Tears flood my eyes
As I see your face
Your smile
I hear your voice
The humour
I smile...
God Bless You Beautiful Angel
With me all the while
My memories
Take me straight to you
Bridge time and space
Uniting us forever
In an unbroken embrace
Have A Lovely Week My Friends.
With Love Always Linda.xxx

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
