John was my baby brother, the youngest of five children, he was full of mischief when he was
younger, and as he grew older he loved a laugh. He was a quiet lad quite shy if he didn't know you,
but to the people whom he knew and who knew him he was a decent down to earth sort of lad. He
started going downhill on the death of our mum in 2003, he couldn't cope with life without her. This
is when he chose to join her. We'll never forget you john i hope you are now at peace.

Special Angel Day - by Carmelle Gross

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Don't Judge Me - by Unknown Author

Don't judge me for how I left this world,
Remember the love I gave,
A lot of grief will follow me
For the decision that I made.

Changes appear in everyone's life
Some good, some bad,
The one I chose for myself
Made everyone very sad.

But in time the memories will heal the hurt of hearts
And my presence will be felt by all with an inner peace.
Remember me when the sun is bright and laughter fills the air
And a moonlit night and a whisper of wind
Will tell you I am there.

Don't look down on my family
Or fill their hearts with blame
For my leaving them without good-byes
Has left them so much pain.

If I could go back in time
I would say a last good-bye
I would tell them to look to tomorrow
And for me, please do not cry.

Who's To Blame? - by Christine Ross

Who's to blame for suicide?
The question often heard.
Someone always points a finger
And they say such hurtful words.

They never do consider that
It's caused from a disease.
Depression and Bipolar
Are just a few of these.

Some die from being murdered.
Some die from accidents.
Some die from pneumonia,
But none of it makes sense.

Sometimes body parts wear out
Way before their time.
Some lose the cancer battle,
But it all seems so unkind.

No matter how they leave us
It never is their choice.
There's something deep within them
That has a bigger voice.

So please refuse to take the blame
For the THING that took your Brother.
Although others point their fingers.
They haven't walked your mile.

Memorial Poem

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

There will always to be a heartache, and often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

We think about you always,
we talk about you still,
you have never been forgotten,
and you never will.
We hold you close within our hearts,
and there you will remain,
to walk with us throughout our lives
until we meet again.
