Mark was a lively 14 yr old boy who loved life to the max always out with his mates chilling n
having fun as boys do. Our mum moved to London in Jan 1989 after 6 months Mark decided he didn't
like it living there so it was arranged he would move back home to Manchester to live with our dad
in Cadishead. Mark made so many friends it was hard to keep up. On 23rd december that same year I
got a phone call off my dad saying my grandad had died I came back home to Manchester the following
day to be with my dad and the rest of the family due to return to London after his funeral. on 27th
december I decided to go to see a long time friend of mine in Swinton Mark asked could he tagg along
I said no go out with your mates for a bit ( I only wish I had of said yes), Mark went out with a
few mates that night I got back from Swinton and as soon as I walked in the door my dads partners
daughter came to me and said " quick go upstairs check on Mark I think he's drunk". I ran up the
stairs 2 at a time Mark was lay on his bed looking as tho he was sleeping but moaning a bit I woke
him asked what was wrong he just kept saying my leg, my leg but he was slurring his words.
I called down for my dads partner who was a nurse at the time she came up checked him over took his
pulse etc n said get an ambulance right now !!!
We got Mark to Hope Hospital where after several tests including toxic ones were took to check if he
had alchohol and drugs in his system (none of which were found) the doctors decided to do an M.R.I.
scan on him which revealed a bloot clot on his brain they took him off to theatre to try to remove
it. Mark came back from theatre at approx 4 am after spending 30 mins with him the docs advised us
to go home and get some rest.
I rang my mum who had took a holiday to Spain it was the 1st time she had ever been abroad and told
her what had happened she had only got there the morning b4 she started arranging flights to get her
back to the uk asap.
We went back upto the hospital to visit Mark to see if he had progressed any from us leaving him in
the early hours I can't actually remember it all but for some reason we never went home that day my
mum and her partner arrived at the hospital at 11pm on the night of the 28th we was all still there
sat round Marks bed willing him to fight. The doctors kept turning his life support machine off to
see if he could breathe on his own but he was struggling.
At 11am friday 29th december the doctor came to us all and told us the pressure building up in Marks
head was too severe and he had been classed brain stem cell dead there was nothing more they could
do for him he was gone.
my mum and dad had spoke through the night and decided if the worst come to the worst they would not
agree for the machine to be turned off ........... they wasnt given that choice the doctor had made
it for them. To try to ease the pain a bit for my mum and dad they signed a consent form for Marks
organs to be donated in doing so he saved 8 peoples lives. Mark may have crossed over that awful
morning but theres a part of him still living on in his organ recipients.
Why should i be out of mind because i am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well.
Hello From Heaven
◕⊱✣⊰◕
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realize...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...
◕⊱✣⊰◕
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again
It's hard to believe
You are no longer here,
We think of you,
You feel so near,
In some small way, every single day,
Memories of you come our way
Although you can't be here with me,
We're truly not apart,
Until the final breath I take,
You'll be living in my heart.
We miss you in so many ways,
We miss things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.
While you, dear brother, rest and sleep,
Your loving memory we’ll always keep.
remembering you always
forgetting you never
always in our hearts
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
:¨•.•¨:
`•. Dear Angel........
If we could only speak to you,
And hold your loving hand,
No matter what we said or did,
We know you'd understand.
Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane we so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.
Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our lives to share,
But in our hearts you're always there.
Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

You would have made the best big brother ever :)
Love you always and forever, your baby sister Leanne
