Still hear you Son saying to me like you always did
"HOW YOU DOING MY LASS"
Tuds was born on the 10th march 1985,at 4.30pm,weighing in a 10lb 3oz.Tuds was my youngest
child,the baby of the family.He as two brothers Baz and Chris,and his sister Mandy.
When Tuds was born he had a club foot,which was a shock to me a the time.He put up with a lot of
prodding and poking when he was a baby,which upset him most of the time.He screamed for attention
from a very early age and got,a lot of it from his brothers and sister,they adored him,he was there
little dumpling man,he was so cute,(but never shut up).
He had an operation on his foot when he was 20months old.After the operation we never looked back,as
he grow older he had one foot smaller than the other,they was 4 sizes different,Tuds would call his
foot his little Putter as he got older,he would never let anyone see his feet,he did not want anyone
to know.
Tuds was always a good at sport his foot never stopped him,at school he was always first,second or
third in running,he loved his football,many a time playing football,his boot would fly across the
football pitch,he would just laugh about it.
Tuds was about 9yrs old when he first started to support Aston Villa.Family and his friends would
take the mick out of him,saying what you supporting Aston Villa for,he would say but i want to be
diffrent from my mates.I will never forget the first time he got tickets to go and see Aston
Villa.It was xmas and we got him his first Aston Villa strip,inside the shirt we hid tickets to go
and see Aston Villa,as he come to try on the shirt a envolope fell to the floor,he said whats
that,we said we don't know he opened the envolope and saw the tickets,well he was that excited he
started to jump up and down on the furniture,shouting mam,dad its what i wanted,i can't wait to go
see them,he had to wait to middle of January to get to see them,it could'nt come quick enough, he
was so happy and exicted.He went to see Villa play as often as he could,his mate rick became a big
fan too,the both of them only know one other person in Carlisle he followed Villa.Tuds was dedicated
to Villa even though he said they were useless,but Tuds stuck by his team.
Tuds was a hard working young man he always liked to be kept busy.Tuds occupation was a Tyre
Fitter.He loved his cars,that was his life.He had his girlfriend Rebecca,he was with Rebecca for
4yrs,they had just spilt up 2 wks before Tuds lost his life.
If you ever met him you would know how hard it was to resist him. Tuds had such a way about him he
was always there to help anyone in need. He would always have a hand to help you. He befriended
everyone he met.
Tuds lived life the way Tuds wanted to live it full of energy and kindness and love and being him
self.
Tuds just loved making others happy if you were happy he was to.He was such a good natured lad,and
was just fun loving young man with so much to give us.
I know that everyone he met he touched in some way or another you couldn't help but be touched by
him.
Tuds loved living life to the full and that is what he did he did he loved challenges.Tuds never
judged anyone he took you as you were as he wanted you to take him.he was nothing make believe just
honest and fun loving and being Tuds.
He always kept us on our toes and he liked it that way,never knowing what he was doing next,he hated
smokers and if it was anyones last fag,he would say to them giz a puff,take the fag,stub it out and
say its bad for ya.was Anti drugs as well.
Tuds had many friends and friends that truely loved him and I know he touched them all in some way
or another.
But on Apirl 29, 2007 my son was taken from us the hardest day of our lives was to lose him.Tuds
still had so much more living to do, so much more life to live, He was taken from us all to soon.
This day will not be forgotten the day Tuds was taken from us a young man,so loved by all.
His friends i have so much pride for they helped us organize Tuds funeral,which i did not mind
because we wanted a celebration of Tuds life.His friends all worn Aston Villa tops,with TUDS NO 1
wrote on,they carried Tuds into Church with a ASTON Villa flag draped over his coffin,while the
song I'll BE MISSING YOU was playing.I have great respect for his friends,thats why Tuds loved them
as well,great bunch of lads.
We love you Tuds and you will forever be in our hearts until we meet you again on the other side.
A LETTER FROM REBECCA
On that very sad day when you were so tragically taken it's hard to say how i felt. Lost, frightened
and scared dont start to describe it. In a strange way i felt calm, like you were there watching and
willing me not to cry.
When the rain came down at your funeral the heavens opened just for you and the sun came out when
you were at rest to let us know that you were safe. I know you'll still be looking after all your
mates and your family especially. Hope you know they will always be like my family and always be
special to me.
Your Mam asked me to find some songs that you liked. The Worlds Greatest by R. Kelly came to me from
nowhere. I knew you loved the song and knew your family would love it and they did. It described you
perfectly! My bonny boy!!
While your mates knew Tuds the lad of lads,the life and soul, the leader, i knew and love Tony a
deaper side of Tuds that was kind, caring, loving and totally spoiled by me! I think i knew you
better than i knew myself.
Not a day goes by when i dont think of your smiling face and all the good times we had during our
time together. Even though it felt like an eternity to you it just wasn't long enough for me and now
it never will be. I'll keep my engagement ring safe and close to my heart forever and always. Our
little pooch Tizz misses you too (dont tell anyone though cos she'll get upset!!)
You are and always will be 'The World's Greatest' to everyone that knew you.
Miss you so much,
Love Always
RECECCA x x x
LOVE ALWAYS
WHEN TIMES WERE HARD YOU'D MAKE ME SMILE,
YOU'D NEED YOUR SPACE AND LEAVE FOR A WHILE,
ALL THE WHILE I ALLWAYS KNEW YOU'D BE BACK ,
BEING AWAY FROM ME YOU NEVER COULD HACK.
OUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER WAS SO STRONG,
THATS WHY ALL OF THIS SEEMS SO WRONG.
I CANT BELIVE NOR UNDERSTAND,
THAT NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU HOLD MY HAND.
EVERY TIME I FEEL LOST OR IN THE BLUE,
I KNOW I WILL ALLWAYS THINK OF YOU ,
DRIVING AROUND THE HEAVENS IN YOUR CAR,
OVER HILLS AND THROUGH VALLEYS NEAR AND FAR.
RIGHT NOW ITS SO HARD FOR ME TO CRY,
COS I KNOW THIS ISNT REALLY GOODBYE,
I KNOW THAT YOU WILL ALLWAYS BE HERE,
WITH THE ANGELS OR SOMEWHERE NEAR.
X UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY ANGEL X
LOVE ALWAYS REBECCA
A POEM WRITTEN BY REBECCA TO TUDS FAMILY
The day you called and gave the news,
the world was lost in a sea of blues,
it isn't real,it can't be true,
why did it have to happen to you?
As a family you're all so strong,
this can't be right it has to be wrong,
you must all now stand united like an army,
keep him with you and forever barmy.
The day God took your precious boy,
when he was out in his favourite toy,
will from now on be TUDS DAY,
its the last Sunday before May.
Please remember to never forget,
that he hasn't quite left completely yet,
i know its right and it is so true,
theres is a bit of him in every one of you.
XXXXX
No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows
How I miss you, nobody knows
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame.
No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.
I've never stopped loving you
I'm sure I never will
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches in this world are many
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you and I miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say,
But I just can't keep quiet any more,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;
I love you so, my precious son,
And I always will.
MAM XXXXX
OUR SPECIAL ANGEL TUDS
Our boy Tuds is a Special Angel,
But not only in my heart he lives,

That our boy Tuds was one of the best,
Family and Friends do drift a part,
Only the faithful,hold Tuds in there hearts.
Our boy Tuds now rests in heaven above,
In Gods garden,a paradise of love,
We can,t forget our Special Angel,
Because our boy Tuds gave so much love.

AN ANGEL IS WATCHING OVER YOU
An angel walks beside me,
I feel him everyday,
he helps me through lives ups and downs,
and whatever comes my way.
He guides me down the road of life,
and lights the darkest roads,
he picks me up and carries me,
when I can not bear the load.
He helps to ease the pain I feel,
he mends my spirit, too,
he holds my hand, and shelters me,
and gives me courage and strength, too.
He speaks to me with words of love,
and he listens to my pleas,
he was sent here from the lord above,
to guide and comfort me.
I know he's always watching,
though his form I can not see,
its a peace I feel deep in my heart,
that leads me to believe.
An angel walks beside me,
I feel blessed everyday,
that the presence of this angel,
will never go away.
to my mum
♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥
I saw you standing at my grave
…but I’m still here
I saw you turn and say goodbye, you waved
…but I’m still here
I heard you call my name as you slept last night,
I felt your pain and fear and fright
…but I’m still here
♥*•.
I heard you wonder how you’d cope alone
…but I’m still here
I heard you sob I heard you moan
…but I’m still here
I saw you as you held your head in your hands,
With the world still full of your time’s demands
…but I’m still here
♥*•.
I held you in my arms today
…I’m still here
I felt your response because you knew there was a way
…I’m still here
I know you felt my hand as it brushed against your cheek,
I haven’t left your side, I’ve been here all week
…I’m still here
♥*•.
I have a new home where I now reside
…but I’m still here
Love is still the same from the ‘other side’
…and I’m still here
From time to time I’ll pop in and say hello,
I’m really sorry that I had to go
…but I’m still here
♥*•.
It’s my greatest wish that you live each day
…knowing I’m still here
Life must carry on and I know you’ll find a way
…knowing I’m still here
I promise one day, there’ll be an ease to the pain,
And I want you to begin to live your life again
…knowing I’m still here
♥*•.
You still have so much more of your life to live
…but I’m still here
Your beautiful soul has such a lot to give
…and I’m still here
Lots more dancing, singing and fun,
Parties to attend and things to be done
…and remember…I’m still here
♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥

♥ I Promise ♥
(Author Unknown)
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.
I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years
But I need another day.
I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife
I'll face it straight and true.
I promise I will endeavour
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
♥
I am now in Heaven,
The gates have opened wide,
And now I have the privilege
Of walking by His side.
The angel choir is singing
And the music is so sweet;
I'll join them just as soon
As I have worshiped at His feet.
I am now in Heaven,
The blood washed throng is here;
I recognize a lot of them,
There's not a single tear.
There's joy beyond description
And reunions by the score;
There'll be no more separations,
For we'll be here evermore.
I am now in Heaven,
Please wipe away your tears;
I've fought the battle, run the race,
And I'm rid of all my fears.
There is no pain or sorrow here,
The heartaches now are past;
I've read and sung of Heaven,
And now I'm here at last!
I am now in Heaven,
And oh, this place is grand!
No one could have ever told me
Of all the beauty in this land.
Since I cannot describe it,
You'll have to come and see
That it was worth the many trials
To live here for all eternity!
ALL MY LOVE SWEET ANGEL, WITH LOTS OF (((HUGS))) AND KISSES. LOVE ALWAYS GLORIA ANTHONY'S MOM

Still With Us
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.

† Touch Of An Angel †
† ♥ † ♥ † ♥ † ♥ † ♥ † ♥ †
I felt an angel's touch today,
in the midst of my despair.
Twas sent by God, Himself, to say,
"be still and know I'm there."
To lead through days of darkness,
and light your way with love.
Be still and know, deep in your heart,
I'm reigning from above.
I'll lift you when you stumble,
I'm with you all the time.
I understand and share your pain;
remember child of mine,
The end is coming quickly;
the Lord shall soon appear.
To resurrect the righteous ones,
I love and hold so dear.
And bring them home, into a place,
where broken hearts are healed.
And promises I made to you,
will finally be fulfilled.
This life is but a spot in time,
a place for lessons learned.
Heaven holds the key to all,
your broken spirit yearns.
I sent an angel down today,
to show my words are true.
You're never far, beyond the arms,
of all God's love for you.

DON'T SAY GOODBYE TO ME NOT YET
Each day that passed, the more I knew,
About the way our family grew,
And now, that you have passed away,
I find I miss you more each day.
Those special chats, our cries, our laughs
Cannot remain just in the past,
And now, each day that comes is new,
So, when I smile, I think of you.
Our friendship was for many years,
But now, my eyes are ful of tears,
And I know, up there, you're crying too,
For we both wish I was there with you.
I miss your laugh, and I miss your smile,
My friend, I'll miss you for a while,
But soon, we'll be together again,
Because nothing can stop us from being friends.
Each time I cry, I cry for you,
(Though, I know you wouldn't want me to),
And I know, deep down, in my heart of hearts,
That we're just 'on hold'. We'll never part
♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.*• ♥
A candlelight glows in memory,
Of the love we still hold.
A life that touched so many,
Treasured gifts as memories unfold.
Our eyes well up with tears,
As we try to be strong.
Yet throughout our remaining years,
For their love we will long.
If we could just remember,
The Lord reaches out His hand.
He'll walk with us forever-
Help our hearts to understand.
Trusting Him to take our sorrow,
Faith He will see us through.
Will guide us towards tomorrow,
Filled with His blessings too.
So honor your precious loved one,
With the candlelight a glow.
Knowing your healing has begun,
As your teardrops gently flow.

You're A Special Little Spirit
"You're a Special Little Spirit," the all great Master said,
As he gently caressed the curly blond hair of the Little Spirit's Head.
"you need to go to Earth to spend some time, you know,
A place I send most Spirits to be tested, to learn, to grow.
The Little Spirit, in sadness, slowly bowed his head,
And from his eye a tear did steal and down his cheek it shed.
"Don't you fret now little one, I won't let you stay too long,
I'll bring you back to help me here, You'll hardly know you've been gone.
You're my choicest Little Spirit, you're the apple of my eye."
And he wiped the tear and gently kissed His Little Spirit good-bye.
"I'm back," the Little Spirit whispered, as he climbed onto his Master's knee,
And the Master said, "I told you, you would not be long away from me."
And then, the Lord, He noticed still another tear welled in his eye.
"Why are you so sad, Little Spirit, whatever should make you cry?"
"I'm glad I'm back," the Spirit said, "but Master you must surely know,
When your angel came to get me, I didn't want to go.
I know you said you needed me and that I'd be gone the shortest while,
But Lord, couldn't I have had a little longer earthly trial?"
The Master let the Little Spirit slip down from His knee,
He firmly took the little hand and said,"Come walk with me."
The Little Spirit and his Lord walked slowly hand in hand,
As the Master explained His special part in the great and marvelous plan.
"Now Lord, I don't mean to argue, I understand you need me home.
But I left in such a hurry, I left everyone hurting and so alone.
I didn't let my earthly parents know how much I loved them so.
I was much too small to tell them, Lord, how will they ever know?
They feel they've been cheated, and in a way so do I.
Not getting to share any more than we did, how can I ever tell them why?"
"Little Spirit, I know your heart is heavy with the message you need to share.
But you need not worry anymore, I'll watch over your loved ones there.
I'll send them loving comfort as a strong and helping hand.
I'll content and give peace to their aching hearts, so they will understand.
The Little Spirit looked up at his Master and said "Thank you for explaining it to me.
And could you please tell them I'm safe and happy and that someday they'll be here with me."
"Yes," said the Lord with a smile and a nod, "I'll tell them all that I can."
Then the others came to see the Little Spirit, as the Lord let go of his hand.
He said, "I'll tell them you're pure, as pure as Heaven's Gold,
That I needed the warmth of your perfect soul to keep Heaven from getting cold."
