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.
Dear All,
As this is going to be a difficult week for our family I am lighting the candles & tribute for this week today.
I want to make sure all your angels don’t miss out on the candles and tributes I hope you all understand
I will be back on Sunday with Monday’s candle
It would have been Christopher’s Birthday on Wednesday, he was on his way home from having a drink to celebrate his 27th Birthday when the accident happened and sadly he died 2 days later.
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
In our hearts your memory lingers
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear angel
That we do not think of you.
For Mon
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
We know that you're beside us,
In everything we do,
But life's just not the same
Now that we've lost you
For Tues
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Things I feel most deeply
Are the hardest things to say
My dearest one, I love you
In a very special way
For Wed

You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure

Tribute For The Weekend
I'm sending a dove to heaven
With a parcel on its wings.
Be careful how you open it
It’s full of beautiful things
Inside are a million kisses
Wrapped up in a million hugs
To say how much you mean to us
And send you all our love
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Babies are angels
That fly to earth
Their wings disappear
At the time of there birth
One look in their eye
And we're never the same
They're part of us now
And that part has a name
That part is your heart
And a bond that won’t sever
Our babies are angels
And we love them forever
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
It happens without warning
Time and time again
I go along and join the flow
But still remember when
You were there to share it all
That made it all worth while
The memories keep flooding back
And once again I smile
Then reality returns to me
And once again your gone
If only this little dream I have
Could simply just go on
I try and hide the heartache
But I feel it none the less
These are my words I send to you
I MISS YOU……..
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Just the average family
We didn't ask for more.
Then life was changed completely
With that knock upon our door.
This awful thing had happened
And none of us knew why.
You were never coming back again
And we didn't say goodbye.
Our world just fell to pieces
We cried with disbelief.
We had to stick together
To overcome our grief.
We'll never understand it
It all seems so unfair.
We wish we'd hear that knock again
And see you standing there.

Angela Christopher’s Very Proud Mum
GOOD MORNING SWEET ANGEL............
We are the ones God chose to take
We are the ones you could not wake
We are the buds you see on a tree
We are the ones whose spirit runs free.
We are the bulbs you may plant in the spring
We are the sound when you hear the birds sing
We are the ones that could not cry
We are the ones he chose to die.
Our tears are the tips of the morning dew
We are the ones that you never knew
We are the rain that’s left on the grass
the test for life we did not pass.
We are the bees you hear hum
W had no voice to call you
We are the forest that fragrance the wood
to be with you, if only we could.
We are the sun, the clouds, the moon
We are the blooms that went to soon
We are the stars that shine above
We are the ones you could not love.
Forget-me-nots that’s what we are
We grow in your garden not very far
We are the heart broken in two
We are the ones who belong to you.
We are the ones you could not share
We are the empty space you see there
so really you see us in every way
FORGET-ME-NOT FOR EVERY DAY.
Miss you so much loobie
love forever

Because of you Laura xxx
The time in my life has come
where my skies are clouded,
Even if the sun never refused to shine,
I’m believing that i'm living this life
With you
Through you
Because of you
Never without you
I will forever more,
walk within the sunlight of you,
Knowing the days will be endless
and the road long and winding,
With you
through you
Because of you
Never without you.xxx
No words to help us comprehend
no thoughts to ease our pain
no simple way to say goodbye
and go on with life again
Nothing can begin to fill
the emptiness inside
or take away the heartache
and make the pain subside
Yet time will bring it's healing touch
and slowly make a start
to show that tears are natures way
to heal a broken heart
Then memories of happy times
the thoughts you had to share
will show their love lives on with you
though they're no longer there
♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ HEAVEN ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆
♥ ☆ ♥ ☆
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without the children there,
Playing hide and seek in pearly mists
Free from every pain and care.
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their carefree rapture,
Scrambling through the fluffy clouds
Each happy moment to capture
♥ ☆ ♥ ☆
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their shouts and laughter
Echoing across Elysian fields
As starbursts they chase after
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their joyful choir
Ringing through celestial realms
Sweet voices rising ever higher
♥ ☆ ♥ ☆
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their radiant light,
Undimmed by earths murky shades
Their robes shining bright.
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their smiles of pleasure,
Bearing sheaves of rainbow flowers
The children are Heaven's treasure.
LAURA'S POETRY
The bittersweet tinge of eternity falling through shepherds delight,
The lands end is where we will be to witness to daylight draining into silence as we take seat on the horizon,
Profound intensity of your presence moulds us into this landscape,like we were always submerged into this maritime expanse.
Part of the glaciated rocks, their crevices, the seagrass, the long cascading rushes, this wooden bench and my derriere on your coat,
Part of this turquoise glowing lilting sea where we evolved amphibian to homosapian with a complete soul,
Our fires 'confuoco' disipate as these two waters join to make the darkest,deepest secret ocean.
Can I break from this facilitated diffusion? Can we release these gated channels that hold our destination?
It is no mass embodyment of teenage conjoured lovesick fiction.
This is in real time
The other soul from light years ago that spun off and found me as part of the same star where we proclaimed our first birth.
And I have no doubts that our burning kalmins made a rebirth. xxX
THE JOURNEY
Anticipating your arrival in the world,
Joy at the gift of your life,
Nurturing your tiny being,
Witnessing your first discoveries,
Pleasure at tiny triumphs and developments,
Watching you shine,
A bond created that is inexplicably deep,
Sensing your emotional pain and pleasure,
Knowing you had determination,courage and great sensitivity,
Letting go to allow you to err and discover,
Knowing you were aware you could return whatever,
Unconditional love - yet not perfect,
Just flesh and blood,
Pain the 'world' could not see,
The fight to get through to the other side,
The struggle that you felt you could not win,
The pain too great to stay that day,
Saying goodbye too early,
Many hearts broken,
Laying you to rest in peace,
Remembering eternally.
'A PAIR OF SHOES'
I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them,
And each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I Will forever walk in the shoes of A WOMAN WHO HAS LOST A CHILD.
Tribute For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Hit And Miss For A Few Weeks
My Father-in-Law is very ill in hospital,
I’m trying to light all my candles
Sometimes you will get 2 on one day
And none the next day I always put the day
They are for at the bottom of verse.

MEMORIES
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel we're with them still
And sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
MY CASTLE
Can you see my castle
Up here in the sky
Its got big gold gates
That sparkle in my eyes
Can you see my garden
It’s full of red flowers
And they smell beautiful
They hold magic powers
I have many new friends
That are all like me
They too are an angel
Flying high and free
They watch over family’s
That like me left behind
And send them angel kisses
They are friends hard to find
I’m glad I’m in heaven
And that I am at peace today
Yes I miss my family dear
But I had to go away
God picked me from many
And said that I’m one of the best
And I had completed my lives journey
And that I had past all the tests
So I deserve this castle
That god gave to me
And one day if your lucky
This castle you will see.
NATURE'S WONDERS
Have you ever wondered
what makes the wind blow?
Could it be our loved ones
blowing us a kiss?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the stars shine?
Is it our loved ones keeping watch
over us while we sleep?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the skies cry?
Could it be our
loved ones missing us?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the sun shine?
Is it our loved ones
giving us a warm hug?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the ocean waves
come pounding to shore?
Could it be our loved ones
wanting to touch us once more?
There are so many of natures wonders
and do we really know why?
Is there a higher power
making sure we always remember
The loved one we’ve lost
and shall never forget.
LIGHT A CANDLE
Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the graveside.
They are somewhere else
radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world
where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left
this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden.
Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame,
in your hearts they will always belong.
♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥
A smile is cheer from you to me,
The cost is nothing its given for free.
They console the weary and gladden the sad.
And can make someone happy when they are mad.
Unlike blessings in which we pray
Its the only thing you keep when you give it away.

For Friday
The walk of love
I know you walked to ease your pain:
I hope you now walk where the beauty is such it takes your breath,
The sun should be of the brightest yellow,
An abundance of roses should adorn everywhere,
Trees bending to protect your delicate ivory skin with their shadow,
And I hope I will join you in this 'walk of love' again one day. XXx
