Gemma, unlawfully took from us but never forgotten.

Gemma was a bubbly happy girl and was loved by everyone who knew her. She had just found out that she was four months pregnant shortly before she died. She would have made an excellent mother as it was her lifelong dream to have children.

Unfortunately it wasn't to be. On Saturday 3rd of July 1993, she was bludgeoned to death. She wasn't found until late evening Sunday, 4th july.

Gemma and her baby became another sad statistic of domestic violence.

Not a day goes by when she isn't in our thoughts as well as her unborn son, Oliver.

R.I.P and God bless you both, sleep well till we meet again.

Lots of love Gemma. This year I told Adam what his birthday means to me. I know you would have loved him and had loads of advice for me.
Peace and love to Mel, Dawn, Kim and Maggie too. xx

forever in my heart

hello little sis! Been to lay some flowers for you today with Kim and our kids and then the kids plodged in the river at the Mill. Can't believe it's 17yrs today since you went away. It only seems like yesterday and i think about you every day. I miss you and the things that we should have done together so much. RIP Gemma and Oliver and I will never forget you xxx

Gemma, thankyou for being a true friend.

You were like a sister to me and I have many fabulous memories of all the crazy stuff we got up to, all the adventures we went on to Manchester and Bradford, all the singing and dancing (we owned the Rocky Horror Picture Show lol), all the dreams we shared. Your friendship saw me through some crazy times and I treasure our memories.

You and your son were taken from us on the 3rd of July 1993. My son Adam was born on the 3rd of July 1995. Not just a coincidence to me.

Lots of love and thoughts to you and your family, especially at this time.

Gemma, thankyou for being such a true friend. You were like a sister to me and I have many, many fabulous memories of all the crazy stuff we got up to. I'm particlarly fond of the memory of us dancing around my dad's flat to 'Sweet Transvestite' and 'Hot patootie, bless my soul'! Of which you always knew all the words... impressive! You were my closest friend and I treasure those memories.

My son Adam was born on the 3rd of July 1995. There is something of you carried on in his footsteps.

Love and thoughts to you and your family, especially at this time.

Letter From Heaven.

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
SLEEP TIGHT SWEET ANGEL

Taken From Me
© Angie Flores
I'm sitting here in my room, looking at your picture.
Wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future.
Uncontrollable tears stream down my face,
while my heart beat starts to race.
Asking god why he took you from my life,
it was more painful than stabbing me in the heart with a knife.
I still needed you here
you were the one to make everything so clear.
you are apart of me and I am apart of you
when you died a part of me died too.
I never knew how hard it was to loose someone you love
until the day you went to heaven above.
Even though I can't see,
I know your up there watching over me.
I miss you more and more everyday
and all I can do is pray.
In my heart you shall forever remain.

keep my memory

KEEP MY MEMORY

Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.

I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.

You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.

When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.

I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day
