LAURA ROSE BOWER MCKNIGHT 22/O6/1985-31/08/2007
Laura was an exceptional young woman and I was so very proud of her. I didn't agree with Beauty
Competitions for young girls, but we arrived late at Bevercotes Colliery Gala. Laura entered the
line-up as the last contender - she won - just four years of age, but a noticeable personality.
Together with an accute intelligence and an eye for intricate detail. Laura was elegant, eloquent
and so extraordinarily individual that she drew attention wherever she went. Truly dedicated to
whatever she took on and loyal to her friends.
Laura gained a place at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama to study Violin Performance. In
her diary she wrote that by her teens she had played in over one hundred and fifty concerts, mostly
in the County of Lincolnshire. She played Violin at Usher Gallery and for Princess Anne during a
visit to Robert Pattinson School. Laura was a performer, but had a tiny ego, and admired people with
the dedication to achieve technical briliance on Violin.
Most of all Laura was my wonderful daughter - unique, irreplaceable, a much loved sister of
Douglas.
The 'star' of our family will never fade; of course we are devastated, but her life was
extraordinary and carried great lessons for us all to learn from.
LAURA ROSE WAS WONDERFUL!
{written bt carol, mummy of laura rose}
Laura Rose died on the 31st of August 2007. She was only 22 years of age.
Laura did many things through her life including attending musical college.
Laura sadly left behind a loving brother, who misses her dearly. She also left behind a loving
father, step father and mother. She also left behind a very big loving family, many cousins, many
aunties and uncles.
Laura died a tragic death, we all know how she died, so i dont think there is any need to put it.
Laura you were such a loving cousin, we did so many things together, go to the cinema, go to the
coast. I remember the time me and your mum came to Cardiff to see you play in the orchestra, i was
so proud to see you up there. You were like a big sister to me, i could tell you anything. I
remember when we were really little and i stayed over at your house once, and we sat at the top of
the stairs and you played with my hair, and you said something that meant so much, i will never ever
foget what you said. Laura you will always be in my heart and thoughts, as you will be with
everyones.
one year on it is so much harder.
HANDS OF HOPE
Hands Of Hope
by John Leroy Maxwell
We live in a world, where uncertainty reigns in almost everyone's life.
Everyday plans that used to be sure, are now filled with doubt and strife.
Some people go on with their lives, with an attitude hard and bold.
So many others seek comfort and hope, and need a strong hand to hold.
We're apt to wander aimlessly, when there is no one to guide.
If you see your fellow man, traveling in this world so wide.
Open your hands of compassion, and spread new seeds of pride.
So release the light of all that is good.
Let it filter thru the lands.
Let others know that what they feel, comes lovingly from Open Hands. xxx
Anniversary
Came back from France early Laura, you know why, but it was good to be able to spend some time with your mum today. She is trying so hard to be brave on the outside but is hurting so much on the inside. Gave your special cushion a big hug while I was in France, just a little bit of you there when we visit. One day when your mum is strong enough I will take her there.
Keep singing in heaven lovely girl. Think of you often.
angel day
Hello Sweetie, This is Mummy here. Today is your 'angelversary'. I placed a reminder in the Echo and visited your resting place. The world is fast and furious and people move on so quickly. My heart is lonely for you. I had a little dream today - you were playing violin in it and you had a bright yellow coat; like the one you had when you were tiny. When I can afford the internet I will write to you often again. Love. Adore. Understand. Remember. Admire.

THINKING OF YOU ALL
I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along the way.
His love is always with you
His promises are true,
And when we give Him all our cares
He will always see us through.
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Just remember I'm here praying
And God will do the rest
SENDING ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS ALISON XXXXX
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we long for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says of our love for you
laura i miss you so very much things are getting hard at the moment you would know what to do.
miss you so very much!
... away so long
..hello sweetheart, I am sorry I have been away so long. I miss writing down my thoughts to you so much. I am on Dougie's computer as Malcolm switched off the net and sky tv. I viewed the dvd of you at OSBOURNBY and listened to your music - but the void grows more cavernous and palpable.
Hope your Birthday in paradise was everything a dream could be. Lost without my 'loobie'. You always loved your sleep and to be warm . Be peaceful most beautiful angel xxxxxxxxxxxx
"Gone Too Soon"
Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon
Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon
Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon
Gone Too Soon xxx
