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.

I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way.

Hugs From Heaven
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART.
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿ Common Bond ✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
We have a common bond
A silver lining that binds each heart
It unites us in the end and teaches a brand new start
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
We've each experienced heartbreak
Like a rushing river's flow
We've felt such tears of sorrow
And we become afraid to just let go
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
Overwhelmed by such grief
That reveal great aches in our soul
Wondering why love hurts so much
As we loose our sense of whole
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
Our sunny days become cloudy
Our nights bring on a chill
We pray for a bright tomorrow
As we try to just get over that hill
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
We try to stay busy
Busy enough to forget our pain
And put that simile upon our face
And wonder if we're insane
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
We understand each other
Without ever saying a word
And with one small touch
We know that we were heard
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
I'm grateful you have a loving family
In whom you can rely
I'm happy you have someone
To hold you when you cry
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
I'm grateful to the Lord
That in His love we can depend
And I pray for each of you daily
That your hearts will truly mend
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
Although our lives have changed
And the pain will some what subside
I'm truly greateful for this group
With hugs and support to be your guide
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
This thread that binds our hearts
A bond that will not fray
I thank you all for sharing
In your special way
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
My words so small I give as a gift
To this group so proud and strong
But remember when all is said and done
God bless you all life long.
✿･ﾟ; ﾟ*✿
love Jude.X

This Ain't Living.
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
It’s been over ten thousand minutes since you said good-bye
And I’ve thought about that moment at least a million times
You were standing at the kitchen counter with a single tear in your eye
The day you changed my life
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
Well I’m still going through the motions
Well I’m still taking in the air
Oh my heart’s still beating
I’m still dreaming just like you were here
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
But something’s wrong, something’s missing
And it doesn’t seem fair
I’m doing all that I can do to make it through
Well I’m still breathing but this ain’t living
Without you
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
Well I can’t smell the roses and the rainbow’s just shades of grey
All those things that made me happy just don’t move me the same
I can’t help but remember us laughing and the way I held you every night
You made my whole world come alive
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
Well I’m still going through the motions
Well I’m still taking in the air
Oh my heart’s still beating
I’m still dreaming just like you were here
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
But something’s wrong, something’s missing
And it doesn’t seem fair
I’m doing all that I can do to make it through
Well I’m still breathing but this ain’t living
Without you
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
Well I was minding my own business down at our favourite bookstore
Contemplating my own existence when you walked through that door
You asked how I was doing so I gave my best to lie
But I wanted so bad to tell you what I really felt inside
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
(going through the motions)
Well I’m just taking in the air
Oh my heart’s still beating
I’m still dreaming just like you were here
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
But something’s wrong, something’s missing
And it doesn’t seem fair
I’m doing all that I can do to make it through
Well I’m still breathing but this ain’t living
Without you
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆

LAURA ROSE BOWER MCKNIGHT - THE LOVE THAT NEVER WAS ...
Like softly sweeping, calming waters of a lake,
They do hardly stir,
Feel the breeze, oscillating as it dwindles,
Swish, - Swash
Sweet pollen, flutters of doves,
By no means....,
Not a clean moment.
Faint vagueness of something you sense, but what you
cannot define as being sensed by a sense known to be
defined,
What diversity, what abundance that surrounds,
A dream to a midsummer as now,
Layer on layer, paper thin wisps of lacy foliage,
Cascading in every crevice, graduating in shade from
the denser to the sparse.
But in the middle of the lake,
Complete stillness,
Though, lakes do stand deep in the middle,
Opaque quality of these waters disguises the
undergrowth,
Even though there appears to be complete desolation.
Approaching the middle of the lake can't be too
difficult?
You plotted the centre on paper, and head that
direction,
Though, when you reach the middle, in hope of finding
something to observe,
All you find is one's distorted reflection.
The aftermath is a repitition of irrational thoughts,
and pondering on the voice that evolves around bitter
disappointment,
Always beginning 'but if...' and 'why?',
The other approach is to tackle it from and easier
distance,
Where the waters are shallow and their transparency
is bound to reveal more.
On approaching the side of the lake, rains have left
soil sodden and waterlogged,
No longer in reach of the waters edge, no chance to
explore the details,
Yet again, failed attempts, but something of a drive,
a determination,
Urges not to give up like the fight for life.
Time passes, and with the rains stopping and the heat
of the intense sun,
Patiently wait.
That time comes, it's the end of summer and the once
moist and succulent foliage has withered ready for
gathering into next years' seeds.
Then you reach over the mound, where waters once deep,
Now lies a cleft in the landscape, where once
something was,
At the edge there lies a ledge with its cracks
exposed,
Desert like,
NO MORE LAKE.
But then again, barren or fruitful,
There was never going to be a chance to get
a closer look.

Beautiful memories
Are wonderful things
They last till the longest day
They never wear out
They never get lost
And can never be given away
To some you may be forgotten
To others a part of the past
But to us who loved and lost you
Your memory will always last...
