where do i start... Kevin was brought up in belvedere by his mum, dad, sisters Christine, Rosie,
Jackie, Diane and brother Barry. 20 years ago he extended his family by meeting my mum and became an
amazing dad to myself and my brother Aaron and a grandad to Stacie and Taylor.
Kevin was an amazing man who would so anything for anyone and never had a bad word to say about
anyone. he never had the easiest of lives after the loss of his dad and then losing his much loved
mum. his grieving never stopped there he lost my grandad who he looked up to then lost his sister
Jackie which broke his heart.
in 2006 Kevin was diagnosed with cancer, a very rare type of cancer (he never did things simple) and
started a long battle, he needed to have a very serious operation, in which we wasn't given very
good odds for his survival. but he pulled through the 9 hour operation and began his recovery..
during this time we lost my uncle.. who was a very special person to Kevin, no longer had he been
out of hospital he was attending a funeral. in February 2007 he was finally given the all clear..
his fighting had paid off!!
that happiness was very short lived when in the same month after a routine check up revealed that
the cancer was back, this time worse, it was an adreanal cancer on the liver!! within weeks he
encountered so many other problems, he developed an infection in his liver.. a blood clot in the
inferior vena cava which all resulted inalot of water trapped in his legs. once again Kevin was
admitted into hospital, determined to fight again...
he went through a long struggle but hope was at hand when a drug was brought over from america to
treat the type of cancer he had,as soon as the drug arrived he began to take it along with all the
other medication he had... he was so scared of what might happen but we all reasured him he would be
ok and that we would get through it together.
side affects began to kick in... confusion was the main one it was heart breaking to see go through
this... but he fought on and he fought hard. as the dose was put up he got worse till in the end it
had to be stopped as it was killing him... but not all was lost we concentrated on trying to fight
this infection and the water on his legs because then he could go back on the chemo....
he never got better... his condition deteriated till on friday the 23rd march all our hopes were
taken from us when we was told there was jnow nothing they could do for him... he was given 1-2
weeks to live. i dont need to tell you how our world fell apart in that very second.. the man who we
all loved so much... the man who never did any wrong was going to be taken from us!
Kevin was afraid of dying so we didnt tell him, which was one of the hardest things we had to do..
how can you sit by a man so innocent and tell him to fight, that hes getting better when you know
hes dying... i dont know how we all did it but we did. by sunday he was barly consious but still
this amazing man was fighting, he so wanted to live and he had so much to live for, he planned to
fish in ireland with his brother, he wanted to see his grandson make it as a footballer, he had
discovered a great friend in his nephew Micheal and his gf Alex but most of all he wanted to beat
this and live his life with the woman he loved so dearly... my mum.
by around 9pm that sunday night kevin had lost conciousness and i think we all knew this was going
to be it...
it was... Kevin took his last breath at 4:40am with his loved ones at his side... the love of his
life.. myself, his brother Barry and his sister in law Wendy.
how can a man die just 2 days after being told he had 1-2 weeks to live!
Kevin was a great man who loved fishing, he went on many fishing holidays with friends and has
millions of pictures showing all the fish he had caught, these once boring pictures will now be
treasured. he also had a passion for computers, he was always trying something new and many times
things would go wrong and the whole system would go down but he kept at it till it was all up and
working again... self taught he also fixed computers for others only ever charging them for what he
had payed out for.
Kevin was also a very hard worker, he could never stand to be out of work as was very much loved by
all of his work mates!
As you can tell Kevin was a very very much loved man with such a huge heart, he was taken from his
friends and family much too soon....
and yes, only the good die young and Kevin who was only 43 really one of these people!!!
Kev thank you for everything you have done for us all, i can tell you from the bottom of my heart
you will never be forgotton we love you now and forever... until we meet again goodnight and god
bless xx i love you xx ( kiss and a hug from taylor)

♥ I Believe ♥
(Written By Skip Ewing and Donny Keyes Copyright 2002)
(Song performed by Diamond Rio)
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been gone
A moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe
Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
The people who don't see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy
Then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
'Cause I believe, oh I believe.

☼ The Sea and the Beach ☼
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The sea seems to illustrate pain and sorrow so well
It comes in and goes out
For a while it is there, overwhelming, covering everything
Then slowly the tide turns and it withdraws
For a while we can see the beauty of the shells, the seaweed
We can rejoice in the patterns in the sand
We can feel the corrugated ripples under our feet
Alive to what is around, and beyond
But then the tide turns and again it is all washed away, all overwhelmed
We feel like the crashing of the waves on rocks
Raw and out of control
Full of anger and rage
Battered and bruised
Tossed about like flotsam floating wherever we are thrown
There are so many questions. Why now? Why him?
But no answers
Then the sea calms and gently the waves lap the rocks
We are soothed and the inner turmoil is calmed
In time we can learn to move up the beach as the tide comes in
Out of its reach
Not to be overwhelmed
The pain is still there, but in control
We can recognise the pain
Revisiting the sadness
Acknowledging how much the person is missed
We learn to turn away and look to the future
Knowing the person will always be part of us
Always loved and always remembered

~~ The Angels ~~
May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring
May angels always care for you
And not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall
May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed
May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold
May they teach you what you want to know
About life here and here-after
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Angel In My Pocket ~~
I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in peoples pockets
That's where I have my fun
I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though i'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met
Before I was an angel...
I was a fairy in a flower
God himself hand picked me
And gave me angel power
Now god has many angels
That he trains in angel pools
We become his eyes and ears and hands
We become his special tools
And because god is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you
When he tucked me in your pocket
He blessed you with angel care
Then told me to never leave you
And I vowed always to be there
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Guardian Angels ~~
When angels sense you need them
and angels always do.....
they come unseen from everywhere
to help and comfort you
they hover close beside you
till all your cares are gone
till they can see you're ready
once again to carry on
Then some of them may fly away
and take their gentle touch
to other hearts that need
the love of angels very much
but one at least stays with you
as your constant friend and guide
for guardian angels never leave
they're always at your side
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
Lots Of Love Always ~~ Elaine...x♥x
*♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥*
~ Immeasurable (by Sean Ashcroft) ~
Laughter will still sound,
even though you’re gone.
But the decibels will dip,
with some smiles, painted on.
Hopes will still soar,
dreams float on high.
But the altitude will drop,
as will the supply.
Passion will still drive us,
desire wave us off.
But the revs will decline
and the engine might cough.
Time will be bejewelled,
lives lit by waltzing light.
But the carats will diminish,
its brilliance a lesser sight.
Yet memories have no volume,
love no mass nor weight.
These will broaden, widen, deepen,
a true measure of something great.
*♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥*
~ Life Beyond ~
Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.
Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.
