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

You can shed tears that he is gone
or you can smile
because he has lived

You can close your eyes
and wish that he'll come back
or you can open your eyes
and see all he's left

You can remember him
and only that he's gone
or you can cherish his memory
and let it live on

☆ Goodnight Precious Angel ☆


Jude Swaddle (Friend) October 12, 2009

Last night at bedtime I looked out
to say goodnight to you
and out the window through the clouds
a star came shining through...

It sparkled and it twinkled
like a precious diamond stone
it looked as if it winked at me
and I felt less alone...

On earth we can see starlight
even if the star has gone
and though you are not with me
your light still does shine on...

So though I cannot kiss your face
or hug you oh so tight
I'll look to Heaven, see a star
and whisper your goodnight...

Tributes For This Week 12th October

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

FOR MONDAY

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.

FOR TUESDAY

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

FOR WEDNESDAY

We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.

FOR THURSDAY

Thank you for loving and sharing,
For giving and for caring.
God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.

FOR FRIDAY

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come to Me".

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

FOR SATURDAY

Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

FOR SUNDAY

Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart

I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night

I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever

My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...

***********

I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...

***********

I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...

***********

I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...

***********

I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...

***********

You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...

**********

I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...

HEAL MY HEART........

COULD YOU HEAL MY HEART I BEG YOU TO EASE MY PAIN
I KNOW THAT NOTHING WILL EVER FEEL OR BE THE SAME
ALTHOUGH SOME DAYS I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE
MY BROKEN HEART IS TUCKED AWAY IT IS BURIED DEEP INSIDE

COULD YOU HEAL MY HEART WHEN IT IS BROKEN IN TWO
KNOWING THAT THE ONLY PERSON THAT COULD EVER MEND IT WOULD BE YOU
SO I KNOW THAT IT IS A IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO EVEN SAY
IT WILL ONLY EVER BE WHOLE WHEN I MEET YOU AGAIN SOME DAY

I WILL LIVE WITH THE PAIN UNTIL IT IS MY TIME
THEN ONCE MORE I WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD YOU IN THESE ARMS OF MINE
ONLY THEN WILL MY HEART FEEL WHOLE ONCE MORE
THAT WILL BE WHEN I SEE YOU WAITING FOR ME AT HEAVENS DOOR.....
