Alex Cole 07/08/92 - 02/05/05


Alex was a very much loved son, brother, grandson, nephew,cousin and friend.

Alex was such a stunner he had a huge gorjus smile and big beautiful brown eyes. He was the best
brother in the world and i love him so much.

Alex went out to play on Sunday 1st May, he went to the skatepark with Tom and some other mates, me
my mam & dad went to my nannans for Sunday dinner Alex came at 2.30 like he had been told. After
dinner Alex said "im going to Toms", Alex didnt go to Toms he went to another boys house. then my
mam got a call on her mobile at 4 o clock it was the police saying Alex was on his way to hospital,
he was in the boys bedroom, and has been shot in the face with an airifle, my mam & dad jumped in
the car to get there as soon as possible. When they arrived Alex was unconscious and on a
ventilator, he had been shot in the right eye. After numerous tests and scans, we were told the
pellet was lodged i Alexs brain and there was nothing that could be done Alex was brain stem dead.
All our family & some close friends came to see Alex and say their goodbyes and the machine that was
keeping Alex alive was switched off, Alexs heart kept beating for 9 more minutes and died in my mams
arms with us all at his bedside.
The 14 year old boy who did this was charged with manslaughter, and his dad with possession of an
illegal firearm, after two trials for the boy the juries failed to agree a decision so he was
acquited. The man eventually pleaded guilty to possession of an illegal firearm, and received an
unconditional discharge, so when you hear Tony Blair talking about the miniuim 5 years imprisoment
for this offence its aload of rubbish. my little brother was shot and killed and no-one has been
held responsible.

Alex loved life. He loved going out with all his mates and having a laugh. he enjoyed walkig over
fields with his dog 'Chance'. He also really enjoyed playing football which he was really good at,
for three seasons he played at Rotherham School of excellence. But loved playing for Conisbrough
with his friends. Alexs main passion was flying his harris hawk 'Gladys'. Alex was a vey much loved
person by everyone, he would try his best to help anyone, and alot of people's hearts got broken
when he died.

THE PROMISE

Your birth brought me star shine, the moon and the sun;
my wishes, dreams, gathered ‘round my little one.
My life became sacred, full of promise and light
wrapped up in the child who brought love at first sight.
The years of your living filled with laughter and tears,
excitement, adventure, some boredom, some fears,
but ended too quickly, ahead of its time
the loss so horrendous, such heartbreak was mine.
But from the beginning, one thought rose so clear:
never would your death erase the years that you were here.
I would not be defeated or diminished by your death;
I would hang on, learn to conquer, if it took my every breath.
For if your death destroyed my life, made both our lives a waste,
‘t would deny your life’s meaning and all the love you gave.
I vowed that years of sadness would change, with work and grace,
to years of happiness, even joy, in which you’d have a place.
Memories of you, like shining stars in the patterns of my soul,
are beacons flashing light and love, and with them I am whole.
In your honor, I live my life, now living it for two;
Through all my life, you too will live - you lived, you live, you do.

with all my love to you alex... xxxxxxx

Thinking of you.XXX

The Four Candles

The four candles burned slowly
Their ambiance was so soft you
Could hear them speak.......

The first candle said “I am peace, but these days, no one wants to keep me lit.”
Then peace’s flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.

The second candle said “I am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable.”
Then Faith’s flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.

Sadly the third candle spoke “I am Love and I haven’t the strength to stay lit any longer.” “People put me aside and don’t understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.”
And waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.

Suddenly........
A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning.

The child begins to cry, “Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end.”
Then the fourth candle spoke gently to the little boy, “Don’t be afraid, for I am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles.”

With shining eyes the child took the candle of Hope and lit the other three candles.

Never let the Flame of Hope go out in your life.

FOR MONDAY

Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

FOR TUESDAY

I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.

FOR THURSDAY

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.


Thoughts Today Memories Forever

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.

Love always xXx.
