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
