HER BACK ON SO WE APLOGISE FOR ANY CANDLES MISSED SHE WILL KEEP TRYING TO CATCH UP, YOU ARE ALWAYS
IN BOTH OF OUR THOUGHTS. YOU ALL MEAN MORE TO US THAN WORDS COULD SAY, WE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM
OF OUR HEARTS
THANK YOU, LOVE ALWAYS SANDRA & MICHAELA AND THEIR ANGELS PETER, DAVID & VOILET XXX
BORN ON EARTH MARCH 19th 1972 HE GOT HIS ANGEL WINGS ON JUNE 11th 2006.AGED 34
On Saturday 10th of June David collapsed at home and was rushed to Hartlepool
hospital. He'd had a massive brain heamorrage we called all the family to the hospital I think if I
am honest I knew I was phoning them so they could say their goodbye. It was heart breaking to know
that the machines were the only thing keeping him alive, David was a organ donor (something he
wanted to do when he joined the army at 16, he proudly served his country twice in the Gulf and
then went on clean up duty in Bosnia) so he was kept on the life surports till people were found for
his organs, his heart, kidneys, lungs, pancreas and liver were all used successfully in saving 6
lives. I can't thank our organ co-ordenator enough she was fantastic so thank you Julie. The nurse's
on critical care were also fantastic in their care for David and our family. Tracey, his son
Kristopher me (Sandra) and my husband mark stayed at the hospital till early sunday morning when
they wheeled his bed down to theater his son grew up so quickly that weekend, we'd like to say most
of the family had good reason for not staying but we will never understand why his mother never
stayed. The four of us sat out side the hospital talking and crying till the sun came up we sat
watching the vans that were going to take his organs to the people who were receiveing them, we left
before the vans did it was so hard to walk away and leave him behind.
David was the youngest of 4 with 3 older sisters to look after him and boss him
around. As our mother walked out on us just before he turn two he was brought up by our dad Peter
Dawson and his 74 year old mother Violet Dawson who we like to think did a great job, now the 3 of
them are reunited in heaven and also on G.T.S. He worked as a computor technician in 3 infant
schools in Hartlepool, these schools closed for the day so the teachers could attended the
celebration of his life. He lived and worked in Hartlepool. He left a wife Tracey and 2 children
Kristopher and Sarah, 3 sisters Sandra, Michaela & Josephine, a mother, 3 nieces Becky, Kathy &
Steph and 3 nephews Daniel, Adam & Joseph, since he's been gone another nephew has joined the family
JOSHUA DAVID DAWSON NAMED AFTER IS UNCLE DAVID and he is now a great uncle to his neice's Beckys
daughter Megan he also left a mother-in-law Janet & father-in-law Barry 2 brother-in-laws Mark &
Steven
David was a rugby coach for West Hartlepools rugby team under 13s, which his son
Kristopher and nephew (my son Joseph) played for, he was a keen rugby player for West Hartlepool
himself. David was loved by many, for his funeral we celebrated his life by not wearing black but
wearing the rugby teams colour's of red, green & white, most of the family wore a rugby top, even
the vicar wore one, everyone of the boys he taught rugby too(they got the day off school) and turned
up in thier tops, many people couldn't get in the church and had to stand out side, he would of been
"gob smacked" seeing all the people in and outside of the church wearing nothing but red, green or
white, even the pall bearers wore a rugby top inclueding his 13 year old son who helped to carry his
dad into church. "WHAT A GROWN UP HE WAS THAT DAY".
God must have had bigger plans for David in heaven, maybe he needed another
player for his rugby team if so he got one of the best and left the world a sadder place for his
family and friends. Take care of dad & nanna for us, please David look after each other till we are
all together again. Missed and loved by his big sisters Sandra, Michaela & Josephine XXX
\\\".DAVID WE LOVE YOU.\\\"
Tribute For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Lit As Usual
On Sunday For Monday
♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥
Special Day
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.
A Celebration
This day will be a celebration
Of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
With great love and many tears.
But to only feel pain and sorrow
Would not be fair to you.
Your life meant so much more to us,
More than words could say.
You were here so briefly,
I wonder if you knew
All the ways you’ve touched
Our world and our hearts
And everyone who knew you
Since the day God called you home.
Now my child, you’re an angel
With your heavenly Father above,
We see not only what we’ve lost
But our capacity of love.
There will always be a big void
In our life and a hole in our
Hearts that will never heal.
Our souls will grieve forever.
Will we forget or stop loving you?
No! Not now…not ever.
As this day is upon us,
Oh, how our hearts still hurt.
But even as I mourn your death,
We will always celebrate your birth.
It was the happiest day of our lives.
Although the curtain falls
There comes a time for all of us
When we must say goodbye
But memories of those we love
Live on and never die
Although the curtain falls at last
Is that a cause to grieve?
The future life is brighter still
If only we believe
So trust in God’s eternal care
And when the master calls
We’ll know a fairer world’s to come
Although the curtain falls
In Memory Of You
We want to always remember
The beautiful life you lived
And keep alive the memories we have
Through remembering what you did
For you're so special to all of us
A wonderful person indeed
Your love, laughter and warm smile
Reflected a heart that believed
Just in the everyday things we do
We remember your faith and love
In the words you spoke to help us through
Is a continued reminder for us
Although we miss you so very much
We know we'll see you once more
For this is the hope we have in God
Being re-united in the Lord
And as we gather we'll continue to share
Special times we went through
For these are memories that warm our hearts
As we honour the memory of you

To david dawson in heaven! Also to his family :(
David Dawson was a brilliant father and a wonderful i.c.t teacher at all school. He teached me and my bff Sarah (His daughter) When he died It struck the whole school. Now onto teenager years we will all remember the sad day! Rip :(

We never stop to measure
Anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.
A Kiss that's sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss that's very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For it's meant for only you.
So when your heart is heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again.
About the one you grieve for
And so sadly miss
That gentle breeze you took for granted
Was your Angel's Kiss.
love as always Alison xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tribute for this weekend
Candles will be lit as usual
On Sunday For Monday
To All Parents
“I’ll lend you for a little time
A child of mine,” He said.
“For you to love the while they live
And mourn when they are dead,
“It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
“But will you, till I call them back,
Take care of them for me?
“They’ll bring their charms to gladden you,
But should their stay be brief,
“You’ll have their lovely memories,
As solace for your grief,
“I cannot promise they will stay,
Since all from earth return,
“But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
“I’ve looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true,
“And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes
I have selected you.
“Now will you give them all your love,
Nor think the labour vain,
“Nor hate me when I come to call
To take them back again?
I fancied that I heard them say:
Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
“For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter them with tenderness:
We’ll love them while we may,
And for happiness we’ve known
Forever grateful stay.
“But should the angels call for them
Much sooner than we’d planned.
“We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.”
Tomorrow
If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.
Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.
When We Remember
You can shed tears that they are gone
Or you can smile because they have lived
You can close your eyes
And pray that they’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes
And see all they have left
Your heart can be empty
Because you can’t see them
Or you can be happy for tomorrow
Because of yesterday.
You can remember them
And only that they have gone
Or you can cherish their memory
And let it live on
You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what they wanted:
SMILE,
Open your eyes,
LOVE
And go on.

Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again.
I crash on rocks of anger;
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything just right.
There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
Our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.
