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.

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 7th August
~Pennies Come From Heaven~
Found a penny today
Laying on the ground
But its not just a penny
This little coin I found
Pennies come from heaven
That's what my Mum told me
She said angels toss them down
Oh, how I loved this story
She said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your loved ones have tossed to you

FOR SATURDAY
~God's Garden~
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for;
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realised
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.

Tributes For This Weekend
My Friend
I'm sending you this little note
It comes with love to say
I've asked your guardian angel
To watch over you each day
For whenever your feeling down
Your angels sure to know
And you'll soon receive guidance
And will know which way to go
Don't let your troubles worry you
Dear friend you will be fine
For your loved and protected
By a presence that's divine.

FOR FRIDAY
We'll Never Say Goodbye
I cannot see you with my eyes
Or hear you with my ears.
But thoughts of you are with me still
And often dry my tears.
You whisper in the rustling leaves
That linger in the fall;
And in the gentle evening breeze,
I’m sure I hear you call.
A part of you remains with me
That none can take away.
It gives me strength to carry on
At dawning of new day.
I think of happy times we shared
And then I softly sigh.
But this I know -- we’ll meet again
And never say goodbye

FOR SATURDAY
Angel Mum’s
We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
We have given encouragement to each other,
Given hope for a brighter tomorrow,
We share the title of grieving Mother.
Some of us lost older Daughters or Sons,
Who we watched grow over the years,
Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
But no matter the age we cry the same tears.
We understand each other’s pain,
The bond we share is very strong,
With each other there is no need to explain,
The path we walk is hard and long.
Our children brought us together,
They didn't want us on this journey alone,
They knew we needed each other,
To survive the pain of them being gone.
So take my hand my friend,
We may stumble and fall along the way,
But we'll get up and try again,
Because together we can make it day by day.
We can give each other hope,
We'll create a place where we belong,
Together we will find ways to cope,
Because we are Angel Mums and together we are strong!

FOR SUNDAY
So Little Time
We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.
I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.
I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.
I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.
I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.
So smile when you think of me
and wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.
I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home to him.
