My only Son and so loved. Another birthday, another year, but it would have been such a special birthday. Today you would have been 50 yrs old. Life can be very cruel. I love you and miss you every single day.

Well Karl, I managed to get through today without too many tears. You would have been proud of your mum. We all had a drink for you, and hope you had plenty of grey goose up there.
Love you and still miss you so much

It’s been 4 years since you left us
It seems just like yesterday
When we got that most dreadful of phone calls
To say that you’d passed away

I still remember my reaction
One of utter and pure disbelief
That my baby brother had left me
And that generated my grief

But day by day it’s got better
That twisting pain in my heart
And memories of you grow sweeter
So I know we will never be apart

I miss you my sweet baby brother
But I know you are safe where you are
And I know that when I need to recall you
You’ll always be near, never far.

I always know when it’s coming up to your birthday. The white cabbage butterfly roams around my garden starting at least the week before. In fact, I see one everywhere I go and now that reminds me of you.
You are free to roam wherever you want to now. Hoping that you are free from everything now and  at peace. Love you xx. Happy Birthday Karl

Karl. Your 45th birthday has just passed and we are remembering your second year of passing tomorrow. Mandy and I vowed to be together every year on that day to remember our baby bro. Tomorrow we will go to the ‘Artful Dodger’, a favourite place of yours when visiting Canada, and have a burger and beer in your memory

Hi my lovely Son, up there in heaven. This year has been harder than last, but I always feel that you are with me. Yesterday , I was struggling on your birthday, and Tuesday will be harder still. We are going down to the beach to have a drink for you, and being able to look across the sea, helps me to feel nearer to you. Always in my heart. Mum xxxxx

Well I did it. I got through the day yesterday, Karl. Mandy, Shannon and I released a balloon each with a poem to send you on your way with our love. My balloon broke away from the crowd and headed towards the mountains - North bound. That's a sign that you were heading to the lake - where you should have been, your dream of a better future. So, although you are no longer here, I'm convinced your spirit is destined to be forever in Canada. You'll always be with me. xxx

This has been such a terrible day Karl. The 1st anniversary of your death, which should never have happened. You were much too young. For a parent to bury a child, is the worse thing that can ever happen. I love you so much, and i will never get over your death. Till we meet again ......xxxxxxx

Today would have been your 44th birthday. I still can't believe you're not here. Your life was way too short - you had so many things left to do and so many dreams you needed to fulfill. I wish we could have had more time together, Karl. Being in different countries in recent years made that a little tough and if I'd known then what I know now we would have made more of an effort to spend time together.
I love you and you will always be in my heart. Keep watching over us - I know you are around, I can feel your presence and that brings me comfort. xxx

My precious boy. I can't get you out of my mind today. My heart can't heal without you. I miss you so very much. IT would have been your 3rd wedding anniversary on the 20th October. So unfair when you were so happy.. God bless you Karl.

What a nice idea and a wonderful way to bring those who loved Karl, together. We will all remember him in our way as we all had a special relationship with him, but one thing we all have in common is how shocked and saddened we were by the shocking news of his passing. No one can ever be prepared for that and I know personally that I will never get over my baby Brother being taken from us too soon.
May you rest in peace, Karl  Know that you are always loved and very sadly missed xxx

Christmas

December 25, 2019
Miss you today

Just like any other

Gone from my life

My sweet baby brother



Each day it gets better

But time takes so long

And this time of year

Just makes it seem wrong



I miss the late phone call

To wish Christmas cheer

As well as those other times

Throughout every year



You’ll always be missed

Merry Christmas dear Brother

Christmas wishes

December 23, 2018

Hey little bro. Thinking of you as we’re coming up to Christmas. Hope you’re at peace. 

We are all slowly healing but will always keep you in our hearts. Love you and miss you always.
