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.

A FOUR LEAF CLOVER

A four leaf clover
A treasure priceless and rare
Like my child in heaven above
Now in gods tender loving care.

Each leaf a meaning a part of my grief
One leaf for strength
One for memories so dear
One leaf for peace
And one for my faith in god above.

Each represents a part of my life
My child in heaven
Forever missed and forever loved.

The first leaf on the clover
Stands for strength
To make it through the day
From morning to night darkness to light
With gods help each step of the way.

The second leaf on the clover
Stands for peace
That only god can bring
A peace that restores my mourning heart
Smoothes the edges of pain
And help me learn to live again.

The third leaf on the clover
Stands for memories
That I hold dear
Their spirit will shine on
In the memories left behind
Although time may pass
They will never disappear.

The fourth leaf on the clover
Stands for faith in god above
Believing with all my heart
In what I cannot see
Knowing we will meet again
By the golden gates in heaven above.

Until then I’ll Keep my memories
Tucked deep inside with love
Along with my four leaf clover
My treasures from heaven above.

A clover A treasure Blessings
From above strength peace
Memories and faith
All sent from heaven with gods everlasting love.

The Mention Of Your Name

Do you make them laugh up their,
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter,
Like you did when you were here?

The very mention of your name,
The memories of your smile,
The little things you said and did,
Are with us all the while.

You meant so very much to us,
There’s nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
There is no perfect day.

For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
We have broken down & cried.

We want to tell you something
So there wont be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without...

Sweet Memories

I never meant to leave you
Could I have only stayed
We would be going on in life
With all the plans we made

Now all the hopes and dreams we shared
Are but sweet memories
For you to tuck inside your heart
Now when you remember me

Remember all the good times
And all the joy we shared
Remember how you touched my life
And how I really cared

Think back on all the laughter
And wipe away the tears
You have still many miles to go
And still have many years

Don't look back, look forward
This day is a brand new start
And as you travel on in life
You'll take a bit of my heart

I never meant to leave you
But still you'll not be alone
For as long as my love lives in you
I'll never really be gone

Tribute For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit On Sunday For Monday

My Very Special Mum

My Mum is a survivor,
Or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night,
When all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night,
And go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her,
To help her understand.

But like the sands on the beach,
That never wash away...
I watch over my surviving Mum,
Who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see,
Tears flowing from her eyes.

My Mum tries to cope with death,
To keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows,
It is her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving Mum,
Through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels,
Protect me forevermore.

I know that doesn't help her...
Or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...
And show her that you care.

For no matter what she says...
No matter what she feels,
My surviving Mum has a broken heart,
That time won't ever heal.

Dad’s Cry Too….

I cannot ease your aching heart Dad,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.

I'll listen when you need to talk Dad,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.

I'm here and I will stand by you Dad,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.

You're not alone, for I'm still here Dad,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile


An Angel From Heaven

God sent me an angel from heaven above
It's filled with complete unconditional love
It watches and follows wherever I go
If I'm happy or sad this little angel does know

It climbs upon my lap and wipes away all my tears
One look in those eyes wipes away all my fears
For in those soft gentle eyes there’s something I see
Which speaks to me silently 'you always have me'

As those soft gentle kisses bring a smile to my face
And a love in my heart which can't be replaced
It continues to tell me in it's own special way
Of how much it loves me as it begins to say

'At night I will cuddle by your side while you sleep
My life is to love you, this promise I keep
I'll wake you come morning with kisses galore
You'll giggle and laugh and ask me for more'

'When sadness you feel or life lets you down
I'll do whatever it takes to wipe off your frown
I'll show you some tricks, I'll bring you my toy
Or rest my head in your lap, if this brings you joy'

'If sickness should keep you in bed for the day
I'll stay right beside you, we don't have to play
And if going for walks is something you do
I'll be your companion take me with you'

I'll try hard to show you my love is so strong
I'll try only to please you, I'll try not to do wrong
If a mistake I should make, then I ask this of you
Remember that angels can make mistakes too'

'I'll ask not much of you, it's for love that I yearn
Because loves what god taught me to give in return
It's all unconditional and comes straight from the heart
And my promise I give you till death do us part'

'So this is my story one I wanted to share
Of my littlest angel who's always right there
This littlest angel that I'm so thankful of
Yes this littlest angel of unconditional love'

❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤

I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.
