our daughter caitlin left us on 2nd march 2004 after a long illness. she was 2 weeks away from her 13th birthday. she left behind parents joanne and andrew and brother drew and sister megan.
caitlin is greatly missed by us and everyone in our family, she will never be replaced. she was well loved by all her friends at joseph swan school in gateshead, especially by her best friends kayleigh cousins and sarah crabtree, whom she was due to see gareth gates at the newcastle arena the day she passed away. she passed away suddenly without any warning. our hearts died when katie did. we want her to know that she will never ever be forgotten. michelle misses you too katie.
nanna ann and grandad ronnie miss her so much as do nanna meta and grandad norman. there isnt a minute that we dont think about you katie. be happy up there or wherever you may be.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

FOR MONDAY

Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.

FOR TUESDAY

In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day,
That we do not think of you.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure...

FOR THURSDAY

You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.

FOR FRIDAY

After Glow

I'd like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done.

I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days

I'd like the tears
Of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave

When life is done.

FOR SATURDAY

I'm Free

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 Him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship started, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine to tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's 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.

FOR SUNDAY

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
Eyes 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 Jesus came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.

He said my place was ready
In Heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

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.

I Still Think Of You

Hello Sweetie! i hope your doing ok up there! i know i havent wrote on here and im sorry for not doing so.. its just your mam only told me the other day that she set the memorial page up when i seen her when i was at work, utherwise i would have wrote. i can't believe its been 5 year it feels like yesterday we were giggling on and taking the mic out of eachother! your such a lovely girl and its upsetting not to see your face or to hear you laugh, or to see how youve grown like all us have. I haven't been to see you since you first passed away, its not because im spightful, and i hope you don't think i am, its just far too upsetting for me. But as your nearly 18 i shall pop down and give you a nice prezzie! the big 18 eh your getting old! im still the baby of the group along with kayleigh hehe. Your mam was telling me about the party she is having for your birthday and ive told her to have a drink on me and i hope you do to! don't get too drunk mind, otherwise you'll have some hellish hangovers like me! hehe. Anyway its that time of the month and the tears are tripping me up reading all these gorgeous messages that all your friends and family have left and the pain we still feel 5 years on. I miss you soo much caitlin and i still think of you! i hope you have a great 18th babe and ill leave a lil message then too. Sleeptight Angel, Love You xxxxxxxxx

Love Always..

I can't believe it's been 5 years today! Its just flown past me, but not a day goes by without me thinking of you!
I havent got long to write becuase Im getting ready for school but I'll be visiting you later leaving an orchid stem like usual!
Its coming up to the time of the year when Im most sad, especially as your 18th and my 18th are coming up.
Ive planned my party, and although your not here, your still top of the lists becuase I know you'll be with me on the day, wishing my a happy birthday! But I still wish you were here so I could get ready and dance with you and everything else!
Your family are invited, as is Kayleigh so everyone who reminds me of you will be there!!
It's going to be hard today at school, it always its, but I do have good friends around me making sure Im okay, although I will be becuase I see today as a reminder of all the good times together, I'll never forget them!
Miss you today and always
Until Next Time
Sarah

Missing You

It's been a while since I've been on here so i thought I'd drop in.
Well Christmas is over, it's always hard now.
Me and Kayleigh went to see your house to see the family and give them our presents, which I hoped they liked. I bought a candle with 'Best Friend' on, for you, for me. That's your Christmas present, but ive kept it with me, as a reminder of you.
Me and Kayleigh got some gorgeous presents of your mam, dad and megan and drew, They shouldn't have!
I did visit you on Boxing Day and left a pink Orchid stem, they're just so independant and beautiful, just like you!
Im really missing you, just wish you were here! I keep talking about you more lately, especially since I sorted out my room and had another look through my 'Cailtin' Box, it always puts a lump in my throught.
Well Im supposed to be doing English work so I should get on.
I Love and Miss You Unbelievable amounts!!
All My Love

Caitlin ive added some pohots from primary school and circled your face so everyone knows what my little angel looks like.
When i went down to mothers yesterday i tried to hide the tattoo...i knew she wouldnt lyk it and she wouldnt have notied it if it wasnt for andrew. I could tell by her eyes and the fact she started crying that she was so dissappointed in me :S i felt the size of a little finger... i no she cares about me and doesnt want me to regret what i have done but i can still picture the look in her eyes, she was disgraced in me :(
