Find light in the beautiful sea I choose to be happy You and I, you and I We’re like diamonds in the sky
You’re a shooting star I see A vision of ecstasy When you hold me, I’m alive We’re like diamonds in the sky
I knew that we’d become one right away Oh, right away At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright tonight, you and I We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky Eye to eye, so alive We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Palms rise to the universe As we moonshine and molly* Feel the warmth, we’ll never die We’re like diamonds in the sky
You’re a shooting star I see A vision of ecstasy When you hold me, I’m alive We’re like diamonds in the sky
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays I saw the life inside your eyes
So shine bright tonight, you and I We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Eye to eye, so alive We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond

Death is nothing at all.

I have only slipped away to the next room.

Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by my old familiar name,

Speak it to me in the easy way you always used.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.

Let it be spoken without effort.

Life means all that it ever meant.

It is the same as it ever was.

There is absolutely unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of your mind, because I am out of your sight?

I am but waiting for you for an interval,

Somewhere very near, just around the corner.

All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost.

One brief moment and all will be as it was before – only better, infinitely happier and forever – we will all be one together with Christ.

Love Nanny Peggy xx.

When Fay was promoted and had to leave King's Cross, she baked cupcakes for everyone to say goodbye. She wrote the names of each of us and decorated them very nicely.  Never thought of her as the baking type, and it was such a nice surprise and another tell of the kind of person she was.
I took a photo and posted it on Facebook. We were all very sad that she was leaving us, but also were very pleased for her as it was a good opportunity in her career.
She was at King's Cross for a relatively short period of time, but she touched our lives forever.  We will all miss you Fay! xxx

When being Mick's assistant with the bugbrooke girls football team, if one of the girls got injured i would run on with the magic sponge and bucket and treat them. quite often when fay looked like she needed treatment, i would run across the pitch but asoon as i got close she would jump up laughing and say ' got you again Mark!!' those happy memories will stay with me forever, R.I.P and god bless you fay.... forever missed xx

I have known Fay since she was born.  Many of the memories I have are of her as a silly, clever, generous and fun little girl with a great big smile and a great big heart.  I would like to share some of these memories.  They are only short stories but they show the type of person Fay was, and the person she grew to be.

When the family returned from New Zealand in 1990 Fay was around three.  We were all visiting my mother in Luton.  Of course my mum was taken with both Kelly and Fay.  Mick was chatting to my mum as I was looking after the girls.  Mick asked Fay “do you love Mac?”  Fay said “yes” “How much do you love Mac?”  She thought about this for a second, then said “mmm…..thirteen dollars!”  I asked if that was a lot.  Mick asked how much she loved him and the answer was the same “thirteen dollars”, so I was in good company.  I’ve always remembered this and if someone asks me if I love something the biggest amount is still thirteen dollars.

Another memory is of Fay at about a trip to a park when she was about three.  As many of you know Fay was a gifted sportswoman.  As a little girl she would climb over frames in parks fearlessly.  She decided to climb a series of log steps and practice her counting.  As she climbed the steps she went “1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9….”, then stopped about halfway.  I asked her what comes after nine.  Fay thought about this for a second, and then found an answer.  She smiled and turned around and went back the way she came counting back, “8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1”, outsmarted by a three year old…again.

I was visiting the family at Bugrooke when Fay was four.  Fay came and sat beside me eating her banana.  She asked me “would you like a bit of my banana?”  “No thanks” I said, “I don’t like bananas.”  “You don’t like bananas?” she said.  “No, I don’t like bananas.”  Fay just looked at me and said “yes you do”, and shoved the banana in my face. Of course done with that usual big smile I couldn’t be cross.

Well I still don’t like bananas, but the memories I have are among the most precious I have.  I will always remember both Kelly and Fay running around with tea-towels as capes pretending to be Batman, or ganging up on Mick when the ‘plinky-plinky’ (ice cream) van came around, or discussing the number of noses on monsters, and loads of other silly and special times.

Sleep tight Fay.  I’ll miss you more than I can say or write.  I love you… thirteen dollars.

This message is sent on behalf of my parents, myself and Clare. We would like to inform you of the arrangements for Fay’s final goodbye. Fays funeral service will be a celebration of her life and we would love to see all the people whose lives she touched, her friends and colleagues old and new, past and present. The service will be held at Bugbrooke St Michaels Football Club (NN7 3PH) at 2.30PM on Monday 25th March 2013 (parking in the Community Centre please - Football Club parking reserved for family). Afterwards immediate family will follow on to the crematorium. We would request that anybody who would like to purchase flowers to please buy a single rose and leave a message that the family can cherish forever. However if you would prefer to send an arrangement then these would need to be with Abington funeral directors (NN1 4DU) before midday. Alternatively donations can be made to MND Association. If anyone would like to write Fay a personal message that will remain private, between the two of you then please feel free to bring this with you as there will be a basket available for these messages that will stay with Fay forever. Whilst we are at the crematorium there will be refreshments available, we would then ask for you to join us at the Wharf in Bugbrooke (NN7 3QB) no earlier than 5.30PM. Being unsure of numbers we have arranged that if the Wharf reaches maximum capacity then the Five Bells (NN7 3PB) is also available for people paying their respects. We can’t begin to say just how grateful we are to everyone, the support and kindness has been an enormous help to us, the tributes left on http://www.forevermissed.com/fay-howell/ have been incredible and have given us strength. The wonderful messages through Facebook, the cards, the phone calls, the text messages and kind gestures that people have taken the time to send have all made us stronger as a family and have helped us to deal with our heart breaking loss. However in true Fay style we’re determined to make sure the day is full of laughter and fun, with happy memories that can be cherished and shared by everyone. Can we request that people wear colours and dress smartly, bringing with them lots of love in their hearts for a lovely, kind girl who deserves to have everyone who love and care for her around her for one last time.

Ps: will never forget her volleying a football into a basketball hoop from the other end of the court...in the first attempt! hahaha EPIC :) Xx

I used to sit with Fay in art class and we often partnered up in P.E. She was one of those people who made school worth going to, I can't say fairer than that. What made her stand out was her acceptance of anyone and positivity. 
  We had recently spoken about the posibility of her coming down to bournemouth with her band and playing a gig at some point and having a proper catch up! I am so sad that I will never get to do that now. She made a great impact on my school years and I am really so gutted about what's happened. I send my sincerest condolences to her family and friends. R.i.p my friend Xx

My first meeting of Fay (6 years old) was waking up on Mick and Theresa's living room floor.  Mac and I were visiting and that was where we slept.  She was sitting on the sofa staring down at me (waiting for me to wake up!)

Anyway the first thing she said was; ”Morning, do you want a cup of tea?” and off she went to the kitchen, Mac and I scrambled to get dressed under the duvet before she came back with the tea.  She then turned on the telly and started to watch the Thundercats.  Typical Fay making sure we were okay before she sorted herself out.

Rest in Peace

Love Mikki

It is with great regret and sadness that the Ladies have to announce the untimely death of ex player Fay Howell. Fay joined the Club as a 13 year old and was part of some highly successful youth squads and two senior promotion squads in her years with the Club and was one of just a few players to have represented Luton Town in the Premier League. We will all remember her for that trusty left foot and speed but most of all for just being Fay.

Fay was highly thought of by her team mates and management at Luton and we have been flooded with tributes to her since learning of her untimely death. In spite of her years Fay packed an awful lot into her tragically short life and had a very successful career with Network Rail as well as being a budding musician where she played the drums in a band.

Fay was aged just 25 years old and died suddenly on 5th March 2013. Our sincere condolences to Mick, who for many years was an important part of the management team, Theresa, Kelly and of course her many team mates and friends. She will be missed by all who`s lives she touched.

The number 19 shirt will be retired from the Club in Fay`s memory.

Further details will follow in due course once known
