Mark ,our lovely 15 year old son and younger brother of Rob , such a loving and caring person who
would do anything for you .
Mark liked playing his bass guitar and was a fan of the red hot chili peppers. He also played hockey
for Darlington Hockey club and was a keen Liverpool football fan . Sport was one of Marks passions
and he and his Dad spent much time supporting England in cricket, football and rugby.
Mark was in his final year at Hummersknott comprehensive school studying for his GCSE's he enjoyed
geography, design technology and business studies but more importantly had a good group of friends
who all played football at breaktimes .
When he was younger Mark was a member of beavers ,cubs and scouts and especially enjoyed camping .
He also took an interest in cooking and from a young age was capable of cooking a meal, he loved
pasta dishes..
He was a real family person and loved family get-togethers and spending time with his Nanas and
grandads aunties, uncle,and cousins.
Mark was such a special person and dearly loved by all his family and friends .
He was suddenly taken away from us by acute leukaemia in February 2007.
We miss him so much .
Heaven made an Angel
Then sent him from above,
Just to be my son,
and fill my world with love.
All the joy I ever needed,
Was captured in his smile,
He filled my world with sunshine,
If only for a while,
I never thought there would be a time,
That we would have to part,
when heaven took my angel back,
They left a broken heart.

ON THE DAY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR 18TH BIRTHDAY
Of all the precious things in life
However great or small
To have had you as our Son
Was the greatest gift of all
We remember other birthdays
And you just larking about
Your laugh, your smile, your energy
It never would wear out
And now its here without you
Emptiness fills our hearts
No matter the distance between
Heaven and earth we will never be apart
thinking of you
christmas may seem out of place this year and sometimes words are just not enough thats why lm sending a special hug your way,and hope it helps to know that someone really truly cares and understands your pain,so you will be in my thoughts all through the festive period and everyday day after,wishing you some peace and comfort at christmas, love marie xxx
For Yvonne
A Broken Heart That Speaks
I feel more depressed
Each day when I awake
I wish to god you could tell me
There has been a big mistake.
My darling son was taken
From his mothers love
To live with the angels
In heaven up above
I did not have him with me
For the time I should have had
No longer can I hold him
Which makes me very sad?
The pain of losing my son
Shows in every single tear
I spend each day missing you
Longing to have you near
Life for me is lonely now
Without you by my side
My Broken shattered heart
Is very hard to hide
People tell me that time is a healer
That the pain will go away
They don’t understand
That this pain is here to stay
For when you lose a child
There is nothing that can compare
The bond we had at their birth
Will never leave, it’s always there
The love a mother has
Runs so very deep
That love is so special
It’s in her heart to keep
A mother’s heart is broken
She is ripped apart inside
There is a part of her missing
It left when her child died
So please don’t tell me to get over it
For this I can not do
Unless you understand my feelings
And this has happened to you
Only another mother who has lost a child
Can understand my pain
Because they also suffer daily
As the memories of their child remain
We are a band of mothers
Whose hearts will never heal?
For the loss of our children
Is for us, so very real.
congratulations
