Ross I can hardly believe that four long years have passed since we had to say goodbye never a day a minute goes by when we do not think of you and miss you so very much, you are forever in our hearts and in the depths of our souls. We had a dream of hope for the future and sadly none of our dreams were realised. This week hon I had some good news and we are going to get the conservatory for Harefield on the transplant Unit in honour you, Team Ross has worked tirelesssly raising funds to enable us to do this but hey you know all about that eh, because you are always with us, we are all so thrilled when you give us signs that you are aware of what we are doing, but that said nothing can take away the pain our the loss of our most precious Son and it never gets any easier! They say that time is a healer well they lie for us it just gets harder and the ache in our hearts never goes away. We talk about you always and the wonderful memories that you have given us and I thank God for those, you taught us so many things about courage and how to live our lives we do this to honour you.

I LIGHT THIS CANDLE

I light this candle in memory of you,
My life, my child, my heart,
May it shine bright and true,
As you did from the start.
In it's flickering flame I see,
The life we shared together,
The love and wonderful memories
That I'll carry with me forever.
I light this candle in memory of you,
I look up to the Heavens where you are,
I see the lights of Heaven shining bright too,
But you candle shines brighter than the usual star.
My child you are still so much a part of me,
Even though you are no longer here,
You live on in my heart where you will always be,
No matter what, I will always keep you there.
On this special night, I light this candle for you,
And I hope every one who sees it will know,
How very special you are, how much you are missed too,
And will remember you with me when they see it's golden glow

YOU were the LIGHT when my days were dark
YOU were the LIGHT that brightened my world
YOU were the LIGHT when nothing went right
YOU were the LIGHT when I was too weak to fight
YOU were the LIGHT that brought sunshine my way
YOU were the LIGHT when my days were so gray
YOU were the LIGHT that shined through my heart
YOU were the LIGHT that lit up my spirit
YOU were the LIGHT that lit up my whole world
YOU were my shining LIGHT.....

LIGHT A CANDLE

I will light a candle for you to shadow all the darkness
and bless the times we knew
Like a beacon in the night, the flame will burn bright
and guide us on our way
Oh today I light a candle for you.
Seasons come and go and I'm weary from the change
Keep on moving on -- you know it's not the same
And when I'm walking all alone, do you hear me call your name?
Do you hear me sing the songs we used to sing?
And I will light a candle for you...
You filled my life with wonder -- touched me with surprise
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes
And through the good times and the bad
We carried on with pride, I hold on to the love and life we knew
And I will light a candle for you...Oh today I light a candle for you.

THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT

In the early morning light,
You see sadness of this day,
And hold memories of my angel,
How when my angel flew away.
No one can comprehend,
The sadness this day brings,
No laughter can be heard...
Not even one bird sings.
For the angel of our life...
Received wings made of gold;
Brought happiness to Heaven,
Left an emptiness here untold.
So in the early morning light,
I just try to find a way...
To see clearly why my angel,
Took golden wings and flew away!
Yes in the early morning light...
I can still feel my angels touch.
And will always remember that,
My angel loves me so much!

"IN THE LIGHT"

A shadow of joy flickered; it is me...
I told you I wouldn't leave.
My spirit is with you.
My memories, my thoughts
are imbedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.
Do not for one moment think
That you have been abandoned.
I am in the Light, in the corner, in the hall, the car,
the yard- - - these are the places I stay with you.
My spirit rises every time you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish, it grows stronger.
I am the feather that finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind.
I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way,
a way that now has its focus changed.
I still crave your understanding
and long for the many words of prayer
and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.
As you struggle to adjust without me, I watch silently.
Sometimes I summon up all the strength
of my new world to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief, I try to impress my love
deeper into your consciousness.
As you should, call out to the Heavens for help.
You should know that the fountain of youth does exist.
My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am the Light.
Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
I protect you, just as you protected me so many times.
Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you.
I see you with my new heavenly eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are,
wherever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.
When you feel despair, reach out to me.
I will come.
My love for you truly does transcend
from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had
when we were together in the physical sense.
You owe this to me, but more importantly,
you owe it to yourself.
Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you,
and I am in the Light....

CANDLELIGHT

As our candles, burning bright
Sends shadows off on this dark night
It offers peace, and hope, and love
To all the Angels in Heaven above.

Our prayers and thoughts will help them find
Beloved family and friends they left behind
So they may comfort us in turn
That's why we light our candles to burn.

CANDLES IN DECEMBER

My sadness seems reflected
In the music that I hear...
Every young one's glowing face
Reminds me you're not here.

Shoppers crowd the festive stores
Emotions all run high,
This world I was a part of once
Seems to pass me by.

This season's meant for happy times
For love, warm hearts, and cheer,
But grieving families around the world
Remember those not here.

We struggle through the season
Lighting candles to proclaim,
Our children aren't forgotten
Round the world our candles flame.

I slowly pass through the gates thrown wide
One clear, cold Christmas day,
No toys or gifts do I bring
Those are gifts of yesterday.

I carry with me just a polished heart
That is granite made,
And walk with grief to where my child lies
In a silent silvered glade.

"Merry Christmas Love" I whisper
The quiet words seem so forlorn,
"I've brought my heart for you to keep
My gift, This Christmas morn."

"It is filled with all my love
Though this one's carved of stone,
I'll place it here---it will be near
You'll never be alone."

Please keep my gift, beloved child
Close to where you lie,
And know my love surrounds you...
Until the day, I too shall die

ANGEL KEVIN CONATTY'S FIANCE AND STEP-DAUGHTER

On behalf of Terry and myself I would like to say a sincere thanks to the committee of Team Ross for all their hard work to make this years Tribute Night a great success. Martin and Lee did a great job by contacting evrone and selling tickets. Natalie did a wonderful job of dressing up the raffle prizes and keeping me sane!! Laura Claire and Rhiannon did a great job in gettting raffle prizes. At this point I should also like to convey our sincere thanks to Tracey Mills Richardson for allowing Martin to raid her lof in our quest for great prizes not to mention Cerys' bicycle which she kindly donated, however Becky fell in love with it and of course after sweet talking her grandad made a successful bid and was extremely happy! I would also like to mention Pam and Steph who again made all the great akes which went down a storm again, not to mention filling doggy bags in an efffort to take the best cakes in Luton home!!We are very grateful to the Chiltern Hotel who again came up trumps they not only let us have full use of the hotel at no cost they also donated £100 to Team Ross. To Jackie who has met our needs within the hotel and has booked us in next year as it falls on a Saturday and they were no booking for that day she has secured our booking for next year result!! None of this would have been possible this year if we had not had the help of so many of you and to those who took the day off work to decorate the hall you all did a wonderful job Ross would have been so proud of you all! Then there was Heather who hosted the evening and did a splendid job and Dwayne Luton's Finest DJ provided the music for the event and as usual did Ross proud. Last and by no means least we must thank all of the families and friends who attended and spent their money and most of all paid tribute to our precious Son, it certainly helps keeping his memory alive, I feel sure that he was shining down on us all and probably  having a good laugh at the antics of all those special people who took part. Well done to each and every one of you we are eternally grateful.

Sending love on your Angel Day, send Angel kisses to all who love and miss you ~j~

You don,'t get over it,

You just get through it,

Because you can't get round it,

I doesn't get better,

It just gets different

Every day...Grief puts on a new face.....

Tears without end,

Days without nights,

Nights without days,

Time without forgetting,

Food without taste,

Sleep without rest,

Sorrow without comfort

Pain without limit

Emptiness without bottom,

Life without our Son

ROSS

You have gone........

To where earth turns into heaven

And golden paradise you did find,

Although we are happy for your peacefullness,

Your are missed by those you left behind,

We share grief, disbelief and sorrow,

Wondering how this can be?

Yet we are thankful for the memories,

That will sustain us til eternity.

OUR WONDERFUL SON

The love of a wonderful Son

Is something that always lives on,

Filling the days with precious memories.

Long after his presence is gone.

We will always feel the warmth of his caring

His memory will never part.

For the love of a precious Son

Will live on...........

Inside our hearts!!

ROSS

We always sit and think about

The years that have passed by,

And the happiness and joy,

That was shared by you and us,

We think of all the laughtr,

The smiles and all the fun,

And before we even know it,

Our tears have once again begun,

For although it gives us comfort

To walk down memory lane,

It reminds how, without you,

Life will never be the same!!

OUR CHILD

With our eyes....we see you

With our minds ....we think of you

With our hearts.... we love you

With our feet...we walk with you

With our voices....we talk to you

With our silence....we remember you

With our laughter.... We rejoice with you

With our tears ....we grieve for you

With our entire hearts mind, body and soul....

We long for YOU

Ww miss you now, our hearts are sore,

As time goes by we miss you more,

Your loving smile, your gentle face,

No one can fill your vacant place!!!!

Missing you always and forever

Two Hands Mum and Dad xxxx

God Bless you and your Family Ross
