hi gary is my son who was tragically killed in a car crash, he was driving his friend back to the
barracks after a party, he shouldnt have been driving but the female maryanne whos car it was ,was
so drunk she couldnt walk, gary was being gary and helping his mate ,they stopped the car at tesco
car park for a cuddle so gary took the car for a run so he wasnt being pervy, at this time he was
killed .The so called female didnt even phone me to see if he was home or to see if he was ok ,she
just went on about he every day life . well myself and my daughter dont get to have an everyday life
because of you i hope that you enjoyed yourself we are the ones paying for it , i didnt even get an
apology from her she probably sleeps well at nite i havent for so long now one day i might be able
to forgive her but i doubt it very much . Gary was in the army and died just 18 days before his
passing out parade. He was a very happy man ,always smiling and always playing practical jokes
espesially on me .Gary was one of those people that would just make you laugh he always had a gift
of laughter, gary made a room shine when he walked in , before gary joined the army he was in the
army cadet force as well .H e done 5 years at this then started to train the younger cadets.Gary
loved the army and all about it he was always there to help like the nite they all got locked out of
dalmeny street and him and willie climbed onto the roof to get in and open the door , only thing was
a neighbour phoned the police before they got to th stairs there was police and dogs every where
they thought that they were burgulars. He achieved so much in his short life and made us very proud
of him.Family meant everything to gary especially his big sister linda. Garys dad was diagnosed with
cancer in the november ater he died just 6 weeks later ,unfortunatlly he died in january 2008.We all
miss the two of them very much and love them more everyday .Gary you always made me so proud of
you, and you still make me smile, so god bless you and i will see you again soon take care of dad
for me and always be your sisters guardian angel xxxx mum

I Do Believe
by Jennifer Janiszewski

There is nothing i can do,
to make him come back
There are no words I can say,
that can replace the words you long to hear

There are no answer's I can give,
that will satisfy your questions
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his
And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared

I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been worse
I will not deny it was a tragedy
I will not lie and tell you he will come back

He never really left

I do promise he hears you when you speak
I will say he loves you no matter the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday

He is every you step you take
He is in everything you do
He is the air you breathe
He is every beat of your heart

" He is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him"

A mothers grief

This is a poem i wrote for Gary just after he died.

Amothers grief is hard they say,
A pain that never goes away.
If i could take the pain away ,
I would so no-one else would know,
the pain that comes and never goes.
Amothers love towards a son,
Alove that only mothers know
Comes along and never goes.
So as we grieve the one we lost and love
We never forget that they are above
Every day the pain still comes
Just to see you one more time to say
Gary i love you now and every day
So until the day we meet again
When God decides to ease my pain
I will sit at your grave once again
and tell you son "i love you so"
