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
New TributeTributes to Gareth
There have been 303 tributes left for Gareth.
I am not that far away
i'm the song that summer sings
the fragrance of the flowers
the joy that sunshine brings
I am in the air you breathe
in the wind thats softly blowing
i'm in the mountain streams
where the waters gently flowing
I speak to you of love
in the songs we call our own
hear me as I whisper
there's no need to feel alone
Way beyond the moon and stars
my spirits flying free
i'm often close beside you
and in everything you see
Wipe away your grieving tears
here, you go to sleep tonight
for we'll meet again one day
in a world of love and light
+♥+♥+♥+♥+♥ +♥+♥+♥+♥+♥+♥ +
May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring
May angels always care for you and not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall
May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed
May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you and make you ever bold
May the teach you what you need to know
about life here and here after
May they fill you always with their love
and give you the gift of laughter
Love Always...Jane...x♥x

God looked around his garden
which was a beautiful sight
he knew there would be others
who could come to him tonight
He tended to his garden daily
to make it a beautiful view
because he knew that others
would help him to tend it too
He prepared for new arrivals
morning, noon and even night
because he wanted heaven to be
a place that was just right
There was precious rosebuds
who didn't bloom on earth
and god had their presence
right from their very birth
There was mothers and fathers
who had gently gone to sleep
he wrapped himself around them
and in heaven he did safely keep
Also grandmothers and grandfathers
whom the angels did hold
keeping them so warm at night
if they should feel the cold
There was also aunts and uncles
maybe a nephew and a little niece
but you can rest assured
they are all very much at peace
If you have lost a dear loved one
their presence is still all around
you might not be able to hear them
but if you look they can be found
Fingerprints and lots of memories
pictures of them thats in your mind
and when you're really missing them
all these things that you can find
The handwriting thats on a card
and maybe a special autograph
and there again, within your mind
is cherished memories of their laugh
Maybe they also had a creative hand
and left behind for you so much
and when you're feeling sad and down
remember to treasure that touch
Go into your mind in times of sadness
and remember what they didn't take above
can you think of just one thing now.....?
well they didn't take with them their love
I know nothing really comforts us
when a cherished loved one has gone
never forget that in your heart and mind
they stay and will always linger on
Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x

Through the gentle breeze and stormy seas
your love comes flooding through
a sense of your surroundings
letting us know that it is you
A heavenly sky with sparkling flames
becomes visible in the skies
appearing is your shadows
as you turned to wave goodbye
A mellow whisper in my ear
thanking all for whats been done
and letting us know that you're o.k
as you glide towards the sun
No matter what the outcome
no matter how much we cried
you're letting us know that you're still here
it was only the body that died
For your memory holds no boundaries
everyday it is kept alive
it gives us warmth and energy
that encourages our days to thrive
Just keep on remembering me
in your shadows i'll walk with you
and guide you through your darkest hours
in everything you say or do
For absence cannot be changed for us
we accept what had to be done
we watch the skies very closely
as you glide towards the sun
When you reach your promised land
and the gates are open wide
it is there you'll find some comfort
and your tears you'll try to hide
As you settle in your new found world
you'll send a glittering prize
that will brighten up the darkest day
and bring a tear to our eyes
Thankyou for your presence
and for all the memories too
you left this world something beautiful
it was the fact that we had you
Thinking of you always ~~ Love Jane...x♥x

Hi Sharon, thank you for visiting Ziggy's site i realised when i have read your Gareth's site before that he was very brave just like my Ziggy. I too don't know where they get it from they just seem to take it in their stride. Maybe and i would like to think that because we were always there for them we gave them the courage and support they needed to get through it. But it doesn't take the pain away from us as parents who have had to see our precious son's suffer and still die at the end of it all. It never ends for us does it because we then have to get on with our lives without our Son's. I think of Ziggy all the time and often think how life is so unfair. Today for example a joyrider hit my daughter's car when she went over to him he was frothing at the mouth he became very aggresive and started lunging at her with a screwdriver things like this make me think why my Son when people like this are alive and well. All i can say is that our boy's were too good for this life let's hope heaven is one constant party. Oh Sharon i see your in sunny Spain have a great time and i'm sure your Gareth will be watching over you. I send my love because i know the pain you have suffered love always Andrea xxx

The Bridge
by Joy Cowley
There are times in life
When we are called to be bridges
Not a great monument spanning a distance
And carrying loads of heavy traffic,
But a simple bridge to help one person from here to there
Over some difficulty such as pain, grief, fear, loneliness,
A bridge which opens the way for the ongoing journey.
When I become a bridge for another
I bring upon myself a blessing
For I escape from the small prison of self
And exist for the wider world
Breaking out to be a larger being
Who can enter another’s pain
And rejoice in another’s triumph.
I know of only one greater blessing in this life
And that is to allow
Someone else to be a bridge for me.
Thank you for being my bridge.XXX
