Tom and Gareth were taken away from us too soon in a tragic road collision. They were both loving,
caring and handsome boys who were loved dearly by family and many, many friends.
I know they are thought of every day by many, so have made this memorial for all who knew them so
they can leave messages and memories.
"The Boys"
I remember that day, it's clear, stuck strong
3am phone call, the boys are gone!
I thought it was a dream, but no it was true
How would life be without you
We sat and cried as time passed us by
So many people came to say goodbye
We laughed later on about memories passed
And remembered the days we saw you last
We still remember, we do everyday
How life was before you went away
I know we'll meet again someday
And won't have to be apart
But until that day arrives
You'll be locked inside my heart
You will always be in our thoughts and hearts
Gone but NEVER forgotten
Love you, miss you
"BROTHERS IN ARMS"

When someone you lose becomes a memory
The memory becomes a treasure

"Give Me Peace"
Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...
I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...
I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...
I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...
If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...
Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...
Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.
With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.

am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes. Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them,
and each day I wish
I had another pair.
Some days my shoes
hurt so bad that
I do not think
I can take
another step.
Yet,
I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks
wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad
they are my shoes
and not theirs.
They never talk
about my shoes.
To learn how awful
my shoes are might
make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes
you must walk in them.
But,
once you put them on,
you can never take them off.
I now realize that
I am not the only one
who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs
in this world.
Some PEOPLE
are like me
and ache daily
as they try
and walk in them.
Some have learned
how to walk in them
so they don't hurt
quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes
so long that days
will go by before
they think about
how much they hurt.
No PERSON deserves
to wear these shoes.
Yet,
because of these shoes
I am a stronger PERSON.
These shoes have given
me the strength
to face anything.
They have made me
who I am.
I will forever walk
in the shoes of
a PARENT who has lost a child
Well boys i let balloons go for you yesterday! They were balloons with a number 2 on, to mark the 2 years that you've been our guardian angels. The only problem was that they were pink, ha ha. but know you would have been laughing at me for buying them! They will be blue next time dont worry,lol. Hope you got the little messages that i let go with them. All your friends from milford, wore the " number 1 boys" t-shirts and went out and had a few drinks for you. No doubt you were by there sides having a good time!! Miss you so much!!

You were so young. . . . .
So young to be called away
Still filled with the plans you'd made,
And a kind and generous heart
That was every day displayed.
Maybe to live within this world
You were far too good and kind,
And this will be remembered
In the memories left behind.
Now at rest within a world
Where the brightest blossoms grow,
You're loved and missed so very much
Far more than you could know
xx
Why . . . . .
Just the average family
We didn't ask for more,
Then life was changed completely
With that knock upon our door.
This awful thing had happened
And none of us knew why,
You were never coming back again
And we didn't say goodbye.
Our world just fell to pieces
We cried in disbelief,
We had to stick together
To overcome our grief.
We'll never understand it
It all seems so unfair,
We wish we'd hear that knock again
And see you staning there.
xx
well boys it's been almost 2 years and it still feels strange without you around! i think of you every day and also say good morning and good night to you as i have your pictures on my wall in my room. they remind me of happier times with you, and if im down i look at them and they make me smile! i know we'll meet again one day but until then, be our guardian angels and watch over all the family and many many friends and keep us from harm

Taken away in a blink of an eye
But thoughts of you will never die
As each day passes your memory lives on
Almost 2 years later
I still can't believe your gone
Miss you everyday, always in my thoughts
xxxx
