Woodford Green Essex
Beloved youngest son of Ann and Peter and brother to Andrew.
Ross was born on 8th March 1982 and died on 12th March 2002. He died two weeks after being involved
in a car accident in Woodford Green Essex.
He was a passenger in his best friends car that he'd bought only 6 hours earlier. The accident
happened less than a mile from home and 5 minutes after they'd left. There was no other car
involved, his friend just lost control on a bend. Ross's side took the full impact. His friend
walked away unscathed from the accident.
We never said goodbye,
Perhaps it's just as well,
For I never could say goodbye,
To one I loved so well.
In silence I remember,
I make no outward show,
But what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Time goes by without you here,
As days turn into years,
They hold such precious memories,
And many silent tears.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS TAKEN THE TIME LIGHT CANDLES AND ADD PHOTO'S. IT IS VERY MUCH
APPRIECIATED THAT PEOPLE THINK OF ROSS. THANK YOU ALL.
Dear Patricia, thank you for your email, i didnt realise that ben and ross shared the same birthday, how ironic and the fact that their lives ran along the same path way with things that happened to them is too, i really hope they are together, as their smiles match too. Take care xxxx
wow, what a smile ross has, i too lost my son 8 years ago and it doesnt matter how long ago it is the pain remains the same as the day we lost him. I hope ross and ben have met up and are having loads of fun up in heaven. Thinking of you and your family, god bless xxxx
a letter from heaven
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 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 life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and 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, I thought, just for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But now at last you’re free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
