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
THERE HAVE BEEN ANGELS IN MY LIFE
There have been angels in my life,
While they havent arrived with a blast of trumpets,
Or a rustle of wings,
Ive known them just the same,
They performed their acts in human guise,
Sometimes borrowing the faces of family or friends,
Sometimes posing as well meaning strangers,
You have known them too,
When the right word was needed,
When a tiny act of kindness,
Made a great big difference,
Or perhaps you heard a voice,
Whispering in the night,
The words not quite clear,
But the meaning unmistakable,
There is hope ... ... ...
There is hope ... ... ...
xxxxx
THERE HAVE BEEN ANGELS IN MY LIFE
In sorrow we mourn for those lost, In gratitude we embrace those around us, In sympathy we reach out to those who grieve. xxxx
With Love On Gareths Birthday
No Birthday card to send today
For there is no address
Just a beautiful garden
Where you have gone to rest
Happy Birthday Gareth.XX

christmas thoughts
thinkin of you today gareth on this special day that you loved...hope you are partying were ever you are with grandad and ur cousins xx
Dear Son although you're gone
The memories are so dear,
And there are so many thoughts of you
At this special time of year.
Thoughts of all the joy you brought
The smiles and laughter too,
And words cannot express the pain
That is felt at losing you.
Since the day that you were taken
Life has never been the same,
And so many hearts are missing you
As Christmas comes again.
HELP ME HELP MY FRIEND
Dear God, I need a favor,
My friend has major grief,
She's deep in pain and sorrow, Lord,
And she badly needs relief.
I'm not sure what to do,
And I don't know what to say,
I need your help to help her,
So this is what I pray.
Help me, God, to help my friend,
Help me to understand,
Let me have her load awhile,
To lend her a helping hand.
Give her respite and escape,
Let her rest and let her sleep,
Even for a little while,
In her place, please let me weep.
I know I cannot be her,
But if I could, I would,
I hurt because she hurts so bad,
I want her to feel good.
For even just a moment, Lord,
Let her tears roll down my face.
Soothe her hurts, give me her pain,
Let me stand in my friend's place.
Please ... please ... help her, Lord,
As only you can do,
Strengthen her and strengthen me,
So I may help her. too.
Virginia (Ginny) Ellis

WITH LOVE AT CHRISTMAS
This
Xmas,
I would
like to put
up a tree in my
heart, and instead
of hanging presents,
I would like to put the
names of all my friends.
Close friends and not so close
friends. The old friends, the new
friends. Those that I see every day
and the ones that I rarely see. The ones
that I always remember and the ones that
I sometimes forget. The ones that are always
there and the ones that seldom are. The friends of
difficult times and the ones of happy times. Friends
who, without meaning to, I have hurt, or without meaning
to have hurt me. Those that I know well and those I only know
by name. Those that owe me little and those that I owe so much.
My humble friends and my important friends. The names of all those
that have passed through my life no matter how fleetingly. A tree with
very deep roots and very long
and strong branches so that
their names may never be
plucked from my heart. So
that new names from all
over may join the existing ones. A tree with a very
pleasant shade so that our friendship may take a
moment of rest from the battles of life. "May the
happy moments of Xmas brighten every day of
the new year". These are my sincere wishes.
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
