careing he loved me so much and often told me so. he would do anythink for me nothink was to much
for him to do. we called stephen our protector.coz thats wot he was. i adored him THE TRUE MAN.


stephen lived with his partner shelly niomi mum. but after 6 years shelly ended it all. stephen was
devastated. he loved her but shelly did love stephen it had just gone sour.

stephen came back home and stayed there for 2 years untill he got his flat, he never recovered from
looseing shelly. and would drift in and out of depression. but he started to try and rebuild his
life he always saw his daughter each week end.

stephen was a very private person and a bit shy really wiyh old fashioned morals. he had that
valuable thing called respect. god how i loved him. he met a woman who had befriended him called
elizebeth she was just that a friend coz stephen wasnt ready for any relationship. but he was glad
for her company.

elizebeth started to act a bit obbsesive and stephen told her not to call to his flat anymore. 6
months later she knocked out of the blue stephen had been in all night with his friends haveing a
drink. elizebeth waited for his friends to go and while stephen was asleep on the sofa she killed
him and got rid of all the evidence and left him dyeing. she called the police and by the time they
arrived stephen was dead.


elizebeth found she pleaded guilty of manslaughter and under diminished responsability was given 3
years we were devastated. we were a broken team our world had been torn apart. my other children
were destroyed.

chantel found it particulary hard to cope with. i was lost and felt i had lost my whole world. 3
years for the life of a man so wonderfull so big so strong so beutifull in soul. my 2 sons were
never the same again none of us are and never will be. stephen was a son i was proud to call mine he
loved us we always came first. i am and always will be lost and god how i ache for his hug and kiss
he would give me every time he said good bye. god bless his loverly soul.

My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...

***********

I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...

***********

I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...

***********

I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...

***********

I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...

***********

You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...

**********

I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...

The Lord needed a flower
and that flower was you
so he picked you up from down here
and up and up you flew

He planted you in his garden
he said 'You'll stay here now with me'
and there you'll stay away from harm
the prettiest flower you'll always be

They say there are no tears in Heaven,
But that must be wrong today.
Because you took part of my broken heart,
When you went away.
I know my tears must have followed you,
How else can it be?
My Spirit feels so broken,
Beause you’re no longer here with me.
They say someday I will accept your passing,
But, right now that can’t be true,
Because part of me is in Heaven,
My tears..... followed you....

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

With love and thanks for your love and support, Cindy xxxxx

You're A Real Angel


If an angel is someone who's so filled with love,
it's a gift that they constantly share,

If an angel is someone who looks out for others

and gives them a nudge here and there,

If an angel is someone who touches your life

with a heart that's both joyful and wise,

Then even though you don't have halo or wings,

you're an angel in human disguise.

xxxXXXxxxXXXxxxXXXxxxXXXxxxXXXxxxXXX



never take someone for granted....hold special people close to your heart....because you might wake up one day and realise that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones...send this to a special diamond in your life I just did x

SOME ONE THAT CARE XXXX

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know

I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just a Step Ahead
and I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise up from Your Bed

I Am the Sun That Warms You
I Am the Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am the Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below

So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m there
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is with You Everywhere.

I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.
