i am setting this memorial up for my son Joshua who passed away with something called batten's disease he was a happy little boy and and we was very upset about him dieing he was my youngest son but in a way i know it was going to happen because that is what the disease did to him. And for his family and friends so they can remember the good times and the bad times we had with him he was born on the 28.02.98 and died on the 02.07.2006 he was 8 years old but nearly 9 but he didn't have anything wrong him when he was born he was fine we found out on the 25.02.2002 what he had wrong we him it was a very sad day for the family and we miss him very much. LOVE YOU MY BABY BOY.
you where so young
.
We’ll never understand it
It was all so brief.
Why someone so little
The pain, the hurt, the grief.
At first we felt so bitter
Why?...we used to say.
God knew how much we loved you,
But still he took you away.
We still miss you as much today,
But now we understand
God makes us - and it’s up to him,
When he takes our hand
no greater loss
There can be no greater loss
Than that of a child
No pain ever imagined
Can hurt so deep
So innocent and pure
Such dreams unfulfilled
They are a part of you
Now part of you has faded
You sustain life in their memory
But the emptiness engulfs you
Still you know in your heart
You must live life for them
A HOPI PRAYER
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there.I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet white doves in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
THE FINAL FLIGHT
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
THE WHITE CHARIOT
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.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS JOSHUA
A LETTER FROM HEAVEN
To my dearest family some things i'd like to say. But first of all to let you know that i arrived okay.
I'm writing to you from heaven where i dwell with god above. Where there is no more tears or sadness. There's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because i'm out of sight just remember i am with you every morning and night.
The day i had to leave you when my life on earth was through , God picked me up and hugged and said i welcome you.
It's good to have you back again you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family they will be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. There is so much we have to do to help our mortal man.
Then God gave me a list of things to do. And formost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
And i will be beside you everyday week and year. And when your sad i'm standing there to wipe away that tear.
And when your lying in your bed the days chores put to fight God and i are closest to you in the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years. Because your only human they are bound to be some tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain. Remember there would not be no flowers unless there was some rain.
I wish that i could tell you of all that God has planned but if i were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain though my life on earth is over. I am closer to you now then i ever was before.
And my dearest friends trust God cause he knows best. I'm still not far away from you i'm just beyond the crest.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb. But togeather we can do it taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosphy and i'd like if you too. That as you give unto the world the world will give to you.
If you can help some-one who's in sorrow or pain. Then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now i am contented that my life was worth while. Knowing as i passed along the way i made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick the up as on your way you go.
When your walking down the road and you've got me on your mind i'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when you feel that gentle breeze or the wind upon your face. That's me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free. Remember your not going your coming here to me.

Especially to show
How much you mean

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Joshua"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Son of yours.
It is hard to sing of oneness when our world is not complete, when those who once brought wholeness to our life have gone, and naught but memory can fill the emptiness their passing leaves behind.
But memory can tell us only what we were, in company with those we loved; it cannot help us find what each of us, alone, must now become. Yet no one is really alone; those who live no more, echo still within our thoughts and words, and what they did is part of what we have become.
We do best homage to those who have passed over to the other side when we live our lives most fully, even in the shadow of our loss.
