Gary was sadly taken from us on 1st November 2008 due to ill health caused by Tuberous Sclerosis
Complex. This condition caused Gary many problems/challenges and obstacles in his life. Amongst them
were: Severe learning disabilities with daily seizures from a very early age (3 months). 'Giant Cell
Astrocytomas' (Benign Brain Tumours) which had to be monitored on a regular basis in case they grew
and caused Hydrocephalus. Gary was also found to have many multiple cysts and Angiomyolipomas (AMLs)
on both kidneys. In April 2001 he had to be hospitalised for 7 days due to a bleed from one of his
AMLs on his left kidney. The bleed showed itself in his urine (Haematuria).These AMLs lead to
gradual deterioration in his health ( Chronic renal failure). He had a second bleed from his left
kidney in Sept / Oct 2007 and was in hospital for 9 days.This was followed by a third bleed(same
kidney) on 5th October 2008 which led firstly to Acute renal failure.This was treated and Gary's
health improved so much so he was discharged from hospital on the 17th October 2008. He still
remained very tired and on the night of the 21st October 2008 he presented with another bleed so was
hospitalised again. Sadly despite treatment Gary further deteriorated due to a ''Massive' Renal
Haemorrhage' and was rushed to theatre for an operation but he didn't make it that far as his heart
stopped. He died from A:Massive Haemorrhage to left Renal Angiomyolipoma / B:Tuberous Sclerosis on
1st November 2008 at 13:17hrs. Gary had no speech but his eyes could say a thousand words and his
smile could light up a room, such a cheeky smile that meant so much. He also used his body language
to speak volumes.He would give an occasional kick and a nip or ten.Lol. We'd give anything to feel
the pain from him nipping us again. He leaves behind a absolute diamond of a mum, Tracey who cared
for him so, so much, dad Gary, sisters Danielle,Lauren & Dani, brother Lee, aunties,uncles,cousins &
grandparents, also the people who cared for him over the years. You will be sadly missed and always
in our hearts, love to you Gaz, god bless xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
TRIBUTE FOR 19-11-09
♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09
Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 22-11-09
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
You gave us love
And lots more,
We have so much
To thank you for,
Silent thoughts,
Memories deep,
Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I wish you all a very peaceful weekend my friend
With love as always Linda.xxx
I opened up a box one day
What treasures did I find!
Letters and some photographs
Of days we left behind
I drifted back to yesterday
The thought was oh, so clear
For just a moment, anyway
It felt like you were here
I smile when I think of you
Sometimes I cry so much
I'm all alone without you now
I long to feel your touch
But God had other plans for you
An Angel he did find
So now my box of memories
Is all that's left behind.
Love Always Julie XXX

See through the window,
Look at the light,
Smell the sweet flowers,
See the sky bright,
Shed not the tears,
As you feel I have gone,
Love never leaves,
And my spirit lives on.

TRIBUTE FOR THURSDAY 5.11.09
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
The size of sadness
Can you measure our pain?
It reaches the stars and back again
Can you count our tears?
They are as many as winter rain
Can you weigh our emptiness?
The world and more would come to less
With no hope of sun tomorrow
That's how we see our sorrow
Add all together -The size of sadness
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
TRIBUTE FOR FRIDAY 6.11.09.
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
Having you not with me
Hurts more and more each day
Although I feel a closeness
In a very special way
Even as I go to sleep
Every thought is of you
And I never thought i'd miss you
In quite the way I do
So i'm hoping that these words
May some how let you know
That you're in my heart forever
And i'll always love you so
The one and only thing
That helps me with the pain
Is dreaming of the time
When I will see you once again...

TRIBUTE FOR SATURDAY 07.1109
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
My love is with you
Oh What can I say?
My heart is empty without you each and every day.
The Angel wings you wear must be so grand,
if only I could reach out and touch your hand,
maybe then we could say goodbye,
which would help dry the tears that I cry
Now I know that’s impossible for us to do,
so let’s make a deal just you and me.
When I look to the stars at night,
you look for me with all your might,
when you see me just shine real bright,
together we can send our love
and say Good Night.
I would like to wish you all a very good weekend and God Bless all our Angels and all our BRAVE HERO'S who have Lost Their Lives.
With love as always Linda.xxx
For My Family xxx

I PROMISE I WILL HEAR…..
Don't think of me as dead and gone
Please understand I have just moved on
God took my hand
When you thought I had died
And led me over to the other side.
There's a better life
Than the one we know
And to it one day we all must go
No more pain, hardship,
Or times of misery
Instead there's all our loved ones
As happy as can be.
You may not see me for a little while
Hear me laugh or see me smile
But I promise you with all my heart
From the ones I love I will never part.
I will always be with you,
However far you walk
I will always listen,
When you feel you need to talk
So when you are saddened
Or driven to despair
Take comfort from the knowledge
That I am always there.
One day soon I will share with you
The happiness I have found
And you will see life doesn't end
Six feet beneath the ground
Forget about graveside visits
And fresh flowers every day
A yearly verse in the papers
Is surely not the way
When there is something you want to say
Or you wish that I was near
Just talk to me like you always did
I promise I will hear.
Thoughts Today, Memories Forever

Little Gaz
Yo little Gaz, How's it hanging? 365 days ago you decided it was time to leave us and go do your own thing, so you drifted off up to heaven to meet the other Angels and go cloud shuffling. This left Mum, Dad, Lee, Danielle, Lauren and other loved ones feeling sad & blue. But don't you worry 'Little Gaz' cause we'll watch over them for you. All our love Uncle Pongle, Auntie Angela, Danny, Katie & Jake. xxxx
