Our darling Gareth most precious son of Dave and Sharon. Beloved brother to Samantha and Amy.

Gareth suffered for 2 years from a cruel brain tumour ( glioblastoma)
After 2 brain opps and endless treatments the cancer got to him in the end.

Gareth worked with his dad as a painter and decorator, he was a fun loving party annimal and a huge Madonna fan, he really was beautiful inside and outside.

When Gareth knew he wasnt going to get better he planned his own funeral with so much bravery and courage beyond belief, everything had to be perfect, typical of Gareth he was a perfectionist,

He was to see his beloved Madonna in Cardiff on July 30th 06,
At this time he couldnt walk and the 4 hour journey there seemed immpossible but Gareth being Gareth was going, me and his Dad went for the weekend and against the odds stacked against us we got him there he had to go in a wheelchair but he saw her for the last time.

It was after we got home that Gareth starting to get really ill.
The bravery and courage facing his own death was out of this world. but the pain we had to endure watching our darling child go through this was unbearable.

Gareth lost his battle on 8 sept 06 at home surounded by his loving family
he passed away so peacefully, watching my brave Gareth take his last breath was heartbreaking.

The picture of Gareth in his cowboy hat was taken 2 years before he died at a Madonna concert.If you go on his photo gallery the picture with his thumbs up was on his way to his last madonna concert.Music playing Madonna-------- LITTLE STAR.
FOREVER YOUNG, ETERNALLY BEUATIFULL NO MORE PAIN MY SON XXXX

MY DARLING GARETH
A Glimpse
Sometimes I think I catch a glimpse
of you standing just close by
I turn and see that you're not there
at the corner of my eye.

I want so much to turn around
and see you standing there,
for you to stay and let me touch
your hands, your face, your hair.

I long to hear you call me Mum
in your beloved voice.
I want you so to stay with me
but I know you have no choice.

So I'll keep on trying to catch a glimpse
when you're just beyond my sight
I feel you there, I know it's true,
and not a trick of the light.

I know one day there'll come a time,
when there'll be no doubt I'm sure.
I'll find you there with arms outstretched
and be home with you once more
My Darling Garethxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Remember Me"
(song by Deanna Edwards)
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.

Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you

Miss Me But Let Me Go


When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no tears in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little – But not for long
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that 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 Master’s plan
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to your friends that we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good works,
Miss me – But let me go.

Perhaps if we could see the splendour of the land
To which our loved ones are called from you and me,
We’d understand

Perhaps if we could hear the welcome they receive
From old familiar voices all so dear
We would not grieve.

Perhaps if we could know the reason why they went
We’d smile and wipe away the tears that flow
We’d wait content

Miss me – But let me go

Candles in the Night

Candles flame in darkness,
Flicker, steadily glow,
Bringing light from shadows
And help to soothe me so.

My son, like the candles,
Gave my life true light,
I use the candle's beacon
To connect us in the night.

As I light the candles,
My wish and my request
Is that he'll see my signal
And know my love's expressed.

As his light joins my lights,
Our worlds touch and flame.
As I snuff out the candles,
I softly say his name.
