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

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..........

Thibutes For Week Starting 26th October


♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR MONDAY

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

FOR TUESDAY

Nothing can ever take away
The love a heart holds dear.
Fond memories linger every day
Remembrance keeps them near.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.

FOR THURSDAY

Those we love we never lose,
For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.

FOR FRIDAY

Memories Of Me

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 behind
When life is done.


FOR SATURDAY

Separated For Now


Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.

Today we pause to reflect upon
Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this candle be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.


FOR SUNDAY

A Special Gift

You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...

For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!

However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Angel, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...

Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.

We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.
