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)

In The Light.
A shadow of joy flickered, it is me.
I told you I wouldn't leave.
My spirit is with you.
My memories, my thoughts are embedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.
Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned.
I am in the Light.
In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard...
these are the places I stay with you.
My spirit rises every time you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish, it grows stronger.
I am the feather that finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind.
I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way, a way that now has it's focus changed.
I still crave your understanding and long for the
many words of prayer and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.
As you struggle to adjust without me, I watch silently.
Sometimes, I summon up all the strength of my new world
to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief,
I try to impress my love deeper into your consciousness.
As you should, I call out to the Heaven's for help.
You should know that the fountain of youth does exist.
My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am in the Light.
Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you.
Mother, Father, son or daughter, it makes no difference.
Brother, sister, lover, husband or wife, it makes no difference.
Whatever our connection - friend or even foe - I see you with my new eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are,
wherever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.
When you feel despair, reach out to me.
I will come.
Our love for you truly does transcend from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had
when we were together in the physical sense.
You owe this to me, but more importantly, you owe it to yourself.
Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you and I am in the Light.

❁ Heaven and Earth ❁
♥When the warmth of the sun touches my face,
♥I see your smile and feel your embrace.
♥I hear the whisper of love in the wind
♥And I know that you are close to me again.
♥The rain speaks of tears, the thunder of pain,
♥But soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim.
♥As the days come and go and the world moves on,
♥I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.
♥On the night the Angel came and took your hand,
♥We cried as you left for an unknown land.
♥But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight.
♥For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!

•♥ The Messenger ♥•
Written by Kirsti (Angel scribe)
From an Angel on high
a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear
of this humble scribe....
○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○
Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

♥Softly As We Leave You♥
(Author Unknown)
Life is so uncertain, this we all may know....
No one knows the time or day,
when they'll have to go.
Though now our time has come to leave you
to face this world alone...
These promises we make you,
to give you strength to carry on.
When the sunlight awakens you,
we'll be there too.
When the moon shines on your pillow...
we'll be shining on you.
We'll be in the cooling breeze,
as it rustles through the trees..
we'll be in the pouring rain,
as it hits your window pane.
When darkness dims your vision,
close your eyes and look above
we'll be standing right beside you.
You will always have our love
May peace and comfort be upon you..
hold close our memories
For in our hearts we know that
no matter where you go...
Is where we'll always be.
I am away for a few days break from monday 17th until friday 21st...so i'll light you candles now and send you all my love...see you saturday morning angel xxxxxxxxxx

The White Chariot
(Julie Johnson)
During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.

For a moment when i wake
I forget that your not here
Then my heart breaks all over again
Just wanting to have you near. xxxxxx

~ In My Mind (by Jenn Farrell) ~
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there,
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair."
You say you were chosen for His garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet,
"God really needed me
That's why I couldn't stay."
It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above,
I've always had my angel
Whose heart was filled with love.
Wherever the ocean meets the sky,
There will be memories of you and I.
When I look up at that sky so blue,
All I see are visions of you.
"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."
