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

FOR YOU

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know

I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed

I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below

So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere

Pauline Griffiths (Friend) Wednesday afternoon

HOLD ME ONCE MORE.........

TAKE ME BACK IN TIME AND ALLOW ME TO HOLD YOU SO TIGHT
STAND RIGHT BY MY SIDE AND HELP ME MAKE IT THOUGH ANOTHER NIGHT
I CAN CLOSE MY EYES AND SEE YOU STANDING RIGHT THERE
SHOWING ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE AND YOU ALWAYS CARE

I KNOW THAT YOU ARE CLOSE BY ME WHEN I NEED YOU STILL
WHEN MY TIME COMES AND MY DREAMS YOU WILL FORFIL
YOU WILL HOLD OUT YOUR ARMS AND I WILL BE FREE
BECAUSE I WILL HAVE JOINED YOU FOREVER IN ETERNITY.........

Tributes For Week Starting 2nd November

FOR MONDAY

There's a special kind of feeling,
That's meant for you alone,
A special place within our hearts,
That only you can own.

FOR TUESDAY

If only prayers were answered,
& wishes did come true,
Our only wishes with all our hearts,
Would be to still have you

FOR WEDNESDAY

We send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of our precious angels
And give them all our love


FOR THURSDAY

I lit a candle for you today
May it's light reflect my love your way
Now I must go until next time
I will forever keep you, gently on my mind


FOR FRIDAY

Angels

When you were born, an angel smiled,
As you became a child, an angel sat on your shoulder
When you became an adult, an angel held your hand
As you grew old, an angel walked down the road with you,
And, when you died, another angel got their wings.


FOR SATURDAY

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 this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He 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'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.


FOR SUNDAY

Reply to "Letter from Heaven"

My Dearest Loved one:

I received your Letter from Heaven,
It made the teardrops fall.
But knowing you’re with God above,
Sweet memories, I will recall.

I know that you are with me,
For I feel your presence near.
And if I listen closely,
Your voice I then can hear.

I know you’re watching o’er me,
As you promised you would do.
And when I feel so saddened,
It’s your letter that sees me through.

When I lay in bed at night,
The day’s chores put to flight,
I truly feel your presence,
Like a warm and glowing light.

The rocky roads you mentioned,
And the hills that I must climb;
I’ve done exactly what you said,
By taking one day at a time.

I’ve tried to help others,
Who are in sorrow and in pain.
And now I am contented,
My day was not in vain.

I’ll lend a hand, as you have said
When someone is feeling low.
I’ll pray for them and be here,
‘Till on their way they go.

And when it’s time for me to go,
To join you in heaven high.
My wings I shall spread wide,
To my home up in the sky.

Loss of a Brother...


Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them what you need to give to me.
There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something --
something much better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I've known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
as well as in your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love reach out to our loved ones,
by embracing them and living in their love.
Love does not die, people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
give me away as best you can.

THINKING BACK........

I THINK BACK TO ALL THE WONDERFUL TIMES WE SHARED
JUST HOW MUCH YOU LOVED AND HOW YOU CARED
REMEMBERING THE GOOD TIMES MAKES ME SMILE
YOU MADE MY LIFE SO WORTH WHILE

NOTHING IS THE SAME THAT YOU ARE NOT HERE
EACH MEMORY THAT WE SHARED I HOLD SO DEAR
I KNOW YOU DO NOT LIKE TO SEE ME CRY AT ALL
FORGIVE ME WHEN YOU SEE MY TEARS FALL

SOME DAYS IT FEELS LIKE ITS RAINING IN MY HEART
THAT WE ARE LIVING A MILLION MILES APART
NEXT DAY I WILL FEEL YOU CLOSE BY MY SIDE
YOU TAKE MY HAND AND BE MY GUIDE

MIXED EMOTIONS ARE SO HARD TO EXPLAIN
IT IS SO HARD LIVING WITH ALL THIS PAIN
IF ONLY I COULD SEE YOU JUST ONE MORE TIME
THE ONLY WAY IS TO CLOSE MY EYES AND FEEL YOU IN THIS BROKEN HEART OF MINE..........
