shock, cuz i woulda gone up and tried to help even tho there was nothing to be done cuz he had died
already
*****SORRY ANDREW!*****
later that day we had to go identify him at ketting hospital which was the worst day of me life.
they took us into this room and he was just behind the closed doors, the police left us until we was
ready to leave you can just imagine what he was like. they tried to clean him up the best they
could. but u could stil see were the blood came from, out his mouth, nose,ears and the back of his
head where there was a massive cut and they left him in his clothes he wore but they laid a flower
on top of him it was awfull to see him like that.
few weeks after we went and seen him at the chapel of rest and we asked if he could be put into his
own clothes, and he was covered in make up what they use to make him look presentable he looked so
peacefull lyin there but it was harder to take in that he was gone and never coming back as he was
lying in a coffin with light blue silk what he laid on, i put a lil pic of us in with him so its
always with him.
at his funeral we turned up in them funeral cars, that day ive never cried so much in me life and
saw all his family and friends waitin outside the church with so many flowers, the church was
burstin at the seems there was that many people there when they walked up the isle with the coffin
we just burst into tears knowin that he was inside and guna be cremated as thats what we chose.
and we walked in to dj sammy candlelite version of heaven and on the way out to r kelly if i can
turn back the hands of time.
when it come to court, the driver who killed him was sentenced to 8months in custody and got a 3year
drivin ban.
he had always wanted a motorbike since he was at a very young age and in october 2003 he finaly got
1 and he was the happiest we had ever seen him he went everywere on it and took great pride with
it,
He use to play football at an early age and then managed the wollaston vics under 14s football team
and when we was all younger he taught me how to play rugby but could never of tackled him cuz the
size of him then when he got me into the girls football team. n 1 time we went down the tip n
brought this cronk of rubbish and made him pull me home on it and made it into a go kart. then when
me and andrew and loads of our mates went up the corn fields with loadsa beer and got plastered!!
then when we put his tent up and took me bunny inside it and it weed in the corner n he sat and ate
a packet of 6 crisps from the co-op was pissing meself!!. then when we made a see saw out a some old
long wood n blocks of wood and i went flying!! also when we had bike races round the garden and he
got ina strop cuz i won hehehe!! he took me round the block on his bike and i was s**t meself round
corners incase fell off
then when he got trampled on by a donkey. then once when we was at our aunties house and had there
giunea pig out and it weed all over andrews lap. then once he was ridin his push bike and come off
it and went flyin into the cemantry wall and thats were he is now, we were always jokin with him
sayin thats were u will end up 1 day with the things he gets up to.
he was plannin to go into the army and work as a mechanic but 2years before he had broke his leg,
he was a gentle gaint 6ft4in tall and made friends were ever he went, every one loved him. as a
brother you were a great mate we got along like any thing always did things together and you will be
sadly missed not just by me and the family but by every one who knew you. and now i have a
beautifull daughter born on the 3rd July 2006, you wud of loved her to bits, shes daft just like you
was, you will never meet her or get to no her not until that day comes to meet again. not 1 single
day goes by without me not thinking of you, and thinking what we would of been doin to this very day
and lookin back on the good times we had even the stupid and silly times. you will never be
forgotton.

poem1)
flowers will the die, the sun will set, your my brother i wont forget, your name is so precious, it
will never grow old, its engraved in my heart will letters of gold.

poem2)
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

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

But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay

poem3)

No farewells were spoken, we never said goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows
why.
We asked for a miracle, just one would do, to leave the front door open and watch you walk right
through.
We would put our arms around you and kiss your smiling face, because you are one in a million, and
no one can ever take your place. xxx
