Ed was born in Manchester in the summer of 1974. His family consists of; James (Dad: passed away
2002), Margaret (Mum), Seamus (Brother), sisters Margaret, Lucy and Josephine and brother Michael.


Ed was a much respected brother in law to Neil and Joe.

He was an adored, much loved uncle and cousin to; Lee, Donna, Emma, Vicky, Ryan, Megan, Niamh,
Kieran, Adele, Kayleigh, Pebbles and Joshua (Not forgetting cousins in Ireland: Keith, Leeanne,
Thomas Michael, Paul, Seamus, Claire, Mary, Sinead and Liam)

Loving Nephew to Lucy and Jimmie, Margaret, Annie, Kay, and Michael; the late Molly, Mikey, Paddy
and Peggy and Bobby RIP.

Great friend to Louise, Brendan, Sarah, Karl, Marcia, Alison, Danny, Jack, Ashleigh, Pops, Hassan,
Michael, Candice, Siobhan, Lisa, John, Anthony, Chez and many many more...

Ed loved driving his car, playing on his playstation, surfing the net and listening to music... He
had a wicked sense of humour and had a smile that would melt your heart. He would help anyone and
always put others before himself.

Aged 18, Ed was diagnosed with Diabetes. Despite determined attempts, his diabetes was never
controlled and in recent years he suffered renal failure.

On the 18th December 2007, Ed was finally accepted on the transplant list; Ed, his family and
friends were estatic.

Our joy was short lived as Ed took ill shortly before Christmas and he was admitted into hospital on
Boxing Day. On the 30th December he suffered a cardiac arrest and was placed on life support;
however, Ed suffered irreversible injuries and the family took the heartbreaking decision to
withdraw life support.

Ed had a strong heart and fought bravely for 35 hours before losing his brave battle on the 12th
January 2008.


He is now reunited in Heaven with his dad. (Arran cardigans await him..)

Ed will be sorely missed by those who loved him and our lives will never be the same again. Rest in
Peace Ed, till we all meet again... x x x x x x

I LOOK AROUND AND I SEE SO MANY BROKEN HEARTS THAT WILL NEVER HEAL
I TRY TO IMAGINE HOW EACH PERSON WILL FEEL
I WRITE WORDS FILLED WITH SO MUCH LOVE
THEY ARE ALWAYS SENT TO OUR ANGELS RESTING IN HEAVEN ABOVE

I KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL FEELING THE PAIN SO BAD
WE ALL WANT THE FAMILY BACK THAT WE HAD
CHRISTMAS IS COMING WE SEEM TO FEEL THE PAIN SO MUCH MORE
ALL WE WANT IS TO SHARE THE TIMES LIKE WE DID BEFOR

WE CAN ONLY IMGAINE THAT YOU ARE ALL TOGETHER IN THE GARDEN OF LOVE
RIGHT NOW WE ALL NEED OUR ANGELS TO SEND KISSES FROM HIGH ABOVE
ALLOW US TO FEEL THEM FLOATING RIGHT BY
FROM EACH AND EVERY ANGEL RESTING IN THE SKY

WE ALL NEED TO KNOW THAT OUR ANGELS ARE STILL AROUND
MAYBE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEND A FEW PURE WHITE FEATHERS FOR US TO FIND ON THE GROUND
HELP US ALL THOUGH THE HARD TIMES THAT ARE LAYING AHEAD
EACH ONE OF OUR ANGELS LIVES ON IN OUR HEARTS AND IN OUR HEARTS THEY ARE NOT DEAD

WHILE EVER OUR HEARTS ARE BEATING THEY WILL BE PART OF OUR LIVES THEY ALWAYS WILL
EVEN WHEN WE ARE GOING THOUGH SUCH A HORRIBLE TIME AND IT FEELS LIKE OUR LIFES ARE STOOD SO STILL

OUR ANGELS WILL BE WITH US AND THEY WILL HELP TO GUIDE US EVERY DAY
THEY WILL ALL BE LISTENING IN HEAVEN TO THE WORDS THAT WE HAVE TO SAY
THIS TIME OF YEAR GETS HARDER HAS EACH DAY GOES ON BY
OUR ANGELS DO NOT LIKE TO SEE US WHEN WE BREAK DOWN AND CRY

THE SPIRIT OF EACH AND EVERY ANGEL LIVES ON FOREVER MORE
UNTIL IT IS OUR TIME TO JOIN THEM THEY WILL WAIT FOR US AT HEAVENS DOOR
THEY CAN READ DEEP INSIDE EACH AND EVERY BROKEN HEART THEY LEFT BEHIND RIGHT HERE
MAYBE IF WE LISTEN TO OUR HEARTS THEY WILL BE ABLE TO WHISPER IN OUR EAR......

Tributes For Week Starting 16th November


FOR MONDAY

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.

FOR TUESDAY

I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.

FOR THURSDAY

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.


FOR FRIDAY

Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home

The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain

But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace

Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.


FOR SATURDAY

Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...

It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.

My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know..
.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.


FOR SUNDAY

When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds -
Miss me, but let me go.

May the angels keep you till morning
May they guide you through the night
May they comfort all your sorrows
May they help you win the fight...

May they keep watch on your soul
May they show you better ways
May they guard you while you're sleeping
May they see you through your days...

May they show you new hopes
May they still your every doubt
May they calm your every fear
May they hear you when you shout...

May the angels keep you till morning
More than this I cannot pray
And if the angels ever fail you,
Then may God be there that day...

IITH NOVEMBER 2009

✿..LET US REMEMBER THEM...✿

✿ 'Please wear a poppy', the lady said
and held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old, and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.✿

✿ A boy came wistling down the street,
Bouncing along, on care free feet
His smile was full of joy and fun,
'Lady', said he, 'May I have one?'
When she pinned it on, he turned to say,
'Why do we wear a poppy today?'✿

✿ The lady smiled in her wistful way,
and answered, 'This is Rememberance Day,
And the poppy there is the symbol for,
the gallant men who died in war,
and because they died you and I are free--
Thats why we wear a poppy, you see'.✿

✿ 'I had a boy about your size,
with golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by, he learned and grew
and became a man--as you will, too.' ✿

✿ 'He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
but he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away,
I still remember his face that day.
When he smiled at me and said'Good-bye,
I'll soon be back, mom, so please don't cry'.✿

✿ 'But the war went on and he had to stay,
and all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the awful fight,
(I can see it in my dreams at night),
with the tanks and guns and cruel Barbed wire,
and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.'✿

✿'Till at last the war was won-
and thats why we wear a poppy son'.
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said 'Thanks lady, I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your Son-- did he come back alright?'✿

✿ A tear rolled down each faded cheek;
she shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
and if you were me you'd have done the same;
For our thanks, in giving, is oft delayed,
though our freedome was bought-and thousands paid.✿

✿ And so when we see a poppy worn, let us reflect on the burden borne
By those who gave their very all
and asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy. Remember-- and give!✿

✿ Lest we forget......✿

Tributes For Week Starting 9th November


FOR MONDAY

Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

FOR TUESDAY

Loving you is easy,
We do it every day,
Missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

FOR WEDNESDAY

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.

FOR THURSDAY

Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane I so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.


FOR FRIDAY

Wings Of The Angels

A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.

Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother's sent.

On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn.

FOR SATURDAY

If I Had One Last Day

If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied

I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay

You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"

Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"

If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart

If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.

FOR SUNDAY

Cry Not My Friend

When you wake up tomorrow
And I am no where to be found
When you scream out my name
To the emptiness around

When every beat inside your heart
Is skipping and unsure
Cry not my friend for I am here,
Inside your love so pure

When the waves that used to touch our feet
Have gone back out to sea
When everything you once held dear
Was lost when you lost me

When the sun that once lit up your face
Is setting far away
Cry not my Friend for time shall pass,
But my love for you will stay

When age arrives and children play
And pain creeps up on you
When loved ones show you happiness
That your life never knew

When all of your expectations are met,
No matter what the pain
Cry not my friend, for I am waiting
To hold you once again

When beauty in your eyes turn grey
And all of the rainbow, white
When strong undying hearts
No longer feel an urge to fight

When winter snows become more pain
Than beauty in your heart
Cry not my friend, for I am here
And we will never ever part
