Nicola was killed on her way home Nov 27th 2004 as she crossed the A19 after xmas shopping with her
boyfriend Mark and his friend Karl. They had been to the Silverlink, a magnet for kids as there is a
cinema, McDonalds and a Pizza Hut. Its a very busy dual carriageway and the only place to cross is
at the roundabout, and then they couldn't see the traffic because of the overgrown bushes, otherwise
the only way to get there is by car. Mark and Nicola crossed further down the carriageway, where she
was hit and killed instantly by an oncoming car.
There is now a pedestrian crossing at the roundabout, the bushes removed and 6 foot barriers down
the central reservation. Only the year before Carla Garbutt was killed as she crossed on her
bicycle.
Nicola was 16 and had just left school that summer. She was the only child to us, Lynn and Kevin.
Her life revolved around Mark, music & having fun.
This is the last photograph taken of Nicola, as we prepared to fly home from Rhodes in early
September that year.
She is greatly missed by all her family and not a day goes by when we do not think of her.xxx
I remember that day so clearly Nicola. You were going to town with Mark and Sean.(but i didn't know
you's had gone to the silverlink instead) As you left the house I asked you try Ghost aftershave for
your Dad while you were there, and if it was nice i would buy him it for Christmas. As you left i
was hoovering and glanced out of the window to see you walking past, and that would be the last time
i saw you. I wasn't out that day and was watching tv when at about 4 o'clock Karl, (Mark's friend)
knocked at the door and told me you 'had been run over and were unconcious on the road'. He pointed
in the direction of the A19. I ran out and told him to run ahead. When i came to the bridge i seen
an ambulance flashing down the A19 but refused to believe it was you because in my mind you had gone
to town and thought that maybe you had to called to Marks on the way back. I ran past but there was
nothing going on beyond that point. I stopped. I knew it had to be you. I ran down that road and as
i neared the accident Mark ran over to me and said 'it doesn't look good'. A nurse who had been
passing asked me if i was Nicola's mam. I told her i was and she sat with me in the back of the
police car. I asked what was happening. 'She told me 'its alright Lynn', But i just knew, I knew you
had gone cos they wouldn't let me see you. We followed the ambulance to hospital and when i got
there the hospital staff said they were 'doing everything they could but it didn't look good'. I
managed to get in touch with your Dad and told him you'd been knocked over. After what seemed like a
lifetime they came, held my hand and said 'sorry, there was nothing they could do'. The staff
informed me that your Dad had arrived and i had to ask them to tell him cos i just couldnt' tell him
you had gone from our lives forever. The whole family then arrived. I just wanted to go home, but we
had to let your little grandma know. As we went into her flat she was sitting knitting and happy to
see us, she burst into tears as we told her the devastating news. That night the numbness that had
held me together that day left. The reality of what had happened kicked in and the tears began to
flow. And they still do babe. x x x x RIP sweetheart x x x x

♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!

TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09
Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥

Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.

Angel
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers,are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.
All our love.

See through the window,
Look at the light,
Smell the sweet flowers,
See the sky bright,
Shed not the tears,
As you feel I have gone,
Love never leaves,
And my spirit lives on.

Love Shines Through
Like a shadow in the moonlight
Like the whisper of the seas
Like the echoes of a melody
Just beyond our reach
In the shadow of our sorrow
Past the whisper of goodbye
Love shines through eternity
A heartbeat from our eye

TIME WILL EASE THE HURT
by Bruce B. Wilmer
The sadness of the present days
Is locked and set in time,
And meaning to the future
Is a slow and painful climb.
But all the feelings that are now
So vivid and so real
Can't hold their fresh intensity
As time begins to heal.
No wound so deep will ever go
Entirely away;
Yet every hurt becomes
A little less from day to day.
Nothing can erase the painful
Imprints on your mind;
But there are softer memories
That time will let you find.
Though your heart won't let the sadness
Simply slide away,
The echoes will diminish
Even though the memories stay.

Memories ?
Memories fill the empty space
Where you used to lie
Tears flood my eyes
As I see your face
Your smile
I hear your voice
The humour
I smile...
God Bless You Beautiful Angel
With me all the while
My memories
Take me straight to you
Bridge time and space
Uniting us forever
In an unbroken embrace
Have A Lovely Week My Friends.
With Love Always Linda.xxx

♥* *♥ Yesterday's ♥* *♥
I open up my heart to God
In my own special way
I dont ask for tomorrows
I want all my yesterdays
♥* *♥
My yesterdays were happy
For they included you
So much love and laughter
We shared just me and you
♥* *♥
Tomorrow is just another word
It means nothing to me
Please give me back my yesterdays
And my Angel back with me.

Having you not with me
Hurts more and more each day
Although I feel a closeness
In a very special way
Even as I go to sleep
Every thought is of you
And I never thought i'd miss you
In everything I do
So i'm hoping that these words
May some how let you know
That you're in my heart forever
And i'll always love you so
The one and only thing
That helps me with the pain
Is dreaming of the time
When I will see you again.

I am wearing a pair of shoes
They are ugly shoes
I hate my uncomfortable shoes
Each day i wear them
And each day i wish i had another pair
Some days my shoes hurt so bad
I don't 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 feel 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 realise
That i am not the only one wearing these shoes
There are many pairs in this world
Some women are like me
And they ache daily as they try to walk in them
Some have learned how to walk in them
So they don't hurt as much
Some have worn the shoes for so long
That days will go by
before they think about how much they hurt
No woman deserves to wear these shoes
Yet, because of these shoes
i am a stronger woman
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 woman who lost a child
