John was a very happy loving wee boy, but as he grew up he seemed to change,he became quiet and
withdrawn.I thought it was his age,the teenage years taking over, and that he would snap out of
it.....eventually. When he turned eighteen he got the chance to move to Arran with some pals.
I thought a change away from Glasgow would be good for him,and it seemed to work,he got a job and
when he came home for a visit was a lot happier,he said he was getting to know the locals
already,even though he was only on Arran less than six months.It seemed things were going well,then
on the fourth of November,after being out with his friends,he went off by himself,they thought he
looked a bit down,but were not worried about him.He was found the next morning by a passer by,he had
hung himself.
According to his friends he had been a bit depressed, but no one thought he would do anything like
that.
I cant believe I`ll never see my boy again,No parent should live longer than their children.
I will never stop missing him,
He`ll be with his Dad now and both of them will be away fishing......
Sleep tight ma boy,we love you so much.
Mum and Yvonne.

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.
Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November
FOR MONDAY
The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
FOR TUESDAY
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
FOR WEDNESDAY
A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.
FOR THURSDAY
Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.
FOR FRIDAY
The Watcher
They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.
Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.
Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
FOR SATURDAY
As We Look Back
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
FOR SUNDAY
To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart
I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear
Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

Tributes For Week Starting 16th November
FOR MONDAY
Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.
FOR TUESDAY
I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.
FOR THURSDAY
Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.
FOR FRIDAY
Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home
The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain
But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace
Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.
FOR SATURDAY
Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know..
.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.
FOR SUNDAY
When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love 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 maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds -
Miss me, but let me go.

Tributes For Week Starting 9th November
FOR MONDAY
Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.
FOR TUESDAY
Loving you is easy,
We do it every day,
Missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.
FOR WEDNESDAY
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.
FOR THURSDAY
Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane I so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.
FOR FRIDAY
Wings Of The Angels
A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.
Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother's sent.
On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn.
FOR SATURDAY
If I Had One Last Day
If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied
I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay
You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"
Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"
If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart
If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.
FOR SUNDAY
Cry Not My Friend
When you wake up tomorrow
And I am no where to be found
When you scream out my name
To the emptiness around
When every beat inside your heart
Is skipping and unsure
Cry not my friend for I am here,
Inside your love so pure
When the waves that used to touch our feet
Have gone back out to sea
When everything you once held dear
Was lost when you lost me
When the sun that once lit up your face
Is setting far away
Cry not my Friend for time shall pass,
But my love for you will stay
When age arrives and children play
And pain creeps up on you
When loved ones show you happiness
That your life never knew
When all of your expectations are met,
No matter what the pain
Cry not my friend, for I am waiting
To hold you once again
When beauty in your eyes turn grey
And all of the rainbow, white
When strong undying hearts
No longer feel an urge to fight
When winter snows become more pain
Than beauty in your heart
Cry not my friend, for I am here
And we will never ever part

Remember Me
Remember me when roses bloom
And Spring returns again ---
For I am ever present in your midst
In the dawn and in the wind ---
You mustn't think I've gone away
For good - Instead remember me
The way I was in better days
The way it used to be ----
Remember me as I am now
Alive, at peace, and free ---
There is no place for sorrows past
Is just a lost memory ----
For life derives its' purest joy
In living day to day ---
Follow what I've taught you
And REMEMBER ME, this way .....

To some the pain of living
becomes too much to bear
he chose to end his life
But that doesn't mean he didn't care
The blanket of depression
Shrouds the mind in misery
And suffocationg blackness
is all that he could see
Please know, though you are grieving
There was nothing we could do
He chose this way to end his pain
Not to end his life with you
So let the tears wash away the anger
Allow your aching hearts to grieve
He found his place in heaven
of that we do believe
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
