In loving memory of Laura Tomlinson, my friend who lost her life on 27th Feb 2004 after getting into a car to warm up, she got in with 2 other friends, Heather and Monkey, plus the driver. He started driving unsafely and collided with another car killing Laura, Heather and injuring Monkey, the driver escaped unharmed. Laura and Heather were 13years old, the same as me, I love and miss them dearly. R.I.P.

Friend To Remember

She is a friend to remember,
a friend we love so much.
The memory runs through my mind
of the last time we touched.

She lived a life of happiness,
a life filled with love.
And from one little mistake she looks
down on us from up above.

She was always there to make you
laugh when your day was going wrong.
Where was she the day where we
had to say "so long?"

Why did it have to end
this way in so much pain?
Since she left this world, things have
never been the same.

I can no longer look forward to
tomorrows anymore,
because I know that they will never
be the way they were before.

Not seeing her face,
not hearing her voice.
I wish there could
have been some choice.

Life can begin and end so fast.
The memory of  Laura will always last.

I wish there was some way
I could have said goodbye.
The thought of her runs through
my head as I look up to the sky.

Knowing she is looking down on us
with a smile on her face,
remembering the life she lived before
she left this place.

If her life didn't end so quick
she would have gotten far.
Only if she had chosen
not to get into that car.

So as I end this poem I want you
to remember this:

Live your life to the fullest
because it could end real fast.
Base your life on the future,
but keep memories of the past

We miss you Laura, RIP.

Missing You

Love and miss you always, Laura.


Laura,

I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to say,
I do know I need you here,
with me night and day.

I close my eyes at night...
and guess what I see?
I see your big, bright smile
shining down on me.

I know you're here with me
for now and forevermore,
but still I ask myself:
God, what did you take her for?

I can't quit thinking of you;
I think I'm going insane.
I wish you were here with me,
I know you could ease my pain.

I must keep saying to myself:
You're in God's arms now,
and I know in my heart
I'll see you someday, somehow.

I'm going to miss you,
with each passing day.
I feel you with me
and you can hear me say:

I miss you, I love you,
and I want you here.
I need you, I see you,
and I feel a tear.

I guess I better close this now,
it's breaking up my heart.
I know you'll always be inside of me,
and we will never part.

I'll remember everything about you
as the tears flood my sight...
But I'll mostly remember the good times,
so I'll see you again when we reunite.

Be Missing You,
Caz

A Friend That Will Never be Forgotten

Its so hard to let go of what we had 
the happy time the sad times
the smiles and the cries.

I sit here alone in the dark
trying to understand the reason
why you left us all behind

I still remember the day
when my best friend
passed away

It was the saddest day
the pain and the tear
just wouldn't go away

Its still very hard to believe
that our friend had to leave

We'll never know the reason
of why she had to go

But you will never be forgotten Cindy
your beautiful face and smile
will forever stay in our hearts.

In memory of my friend Cindy Cruz

Sweet 16 To Your Little Girl

In loving memory of Jack Leventhall, written by Mary S.

And so I dream 
And miss you so

I'll dance next week

With one you don't know

I wish you could come

I wish you were near

I wish I could forgive you

For all my stolen years

I'll be 16, dad

No longer can I wait

My body isn't immortal

Your absence in my life, I hate

And so I will dance

But he will never take your place

Maybe you'll be there in spirit

Yet that, I can't embrace

You'll never say Sweet 16 Mar,

Really that's so nice

I'll never see your face again, dad

But remember your casket cold as ice

Youll never hug me again dad,

I'll never get your advice

You've caused me to become so sad

I've forgotten how life was once nice

So I'll be sixteen dad,

Your candle, you won't light

Lighting it in your place will be so sad

But Ill remember you with all my might

This poem is in memory of a special brother, who died July 30, 2000, at age 19.
Written by Brenda

One day everything would seem right
Then like that you were outta sight
Left me here in this world all alone
Your voice I heard last on the phone
I miss your smiling face each day
I need help but is there a way
All I want is to see you and be able to say GOODBYE
But the impossible would only make me cry
So I send you all my love from within
This time do I win

A Solitary Soul

Somethings End Unexpectedly
When it happened,
Everything ended,
It was like armegedon,
My world was over,
Nothing will ever be the same,
My only friend is gone,
No longer with us,
Never again will they be.
I will one day see her soon,
Life doesn't last that long,
Now I know that,
It was unexpected,
Life will end,
Now I am aware of that,
Before I never wasn't

In loving memory of my good friend Steve.
sent in by Kevin

i remember the day clear as ever
emma rang to see if i could go out
i got told no and left it at that
only to go down stairs to find out you were gone
i couldn't really understand
why you had to go so soon
i didn't even get to say goodbye.
on the day of your funeral it rained down
and the thought of you lying down
in front of me made me cry all the tears i had
i miss you so i always will
you gave me trouble
but i loved you still, i always will
remembering all those times we shared
still makes me cry today
and every time i think of you
i will always cry
thats what your memories make me do
i'm writing this to get it off my chest
cause i wouldn't be able to talk about this yet
so before i go i have to say
i love you steve and i will never forget you

Even Though

by Brittni

Even though it's you who hurts me
  You whom makes me cry
Even though its you you smacks me
  Still I wonder why
Even though its you who punches me
  You whom most i fear
Even though its you who hates me
  Still I love you daddy dear
