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.\\\"

How does a sister continue without her brother

SHE DOESNT

She may eat and she may sleep

She may breath and even speak

But

SHE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME !

TO SANDRA & MICHAELA XXXX

Unseen Friend �.•*�♥ `*•.�

Although you are a friend of mine
and Candles we exchange,
I wouldn't know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?

You hold a place within my life,
unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.

I picture what I think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.

So for this friendship we possess,
we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Just to say thank you for all your support & for being such a wonderful friend.
My love & thoughts are with you & your angel always
Love Sandra xxxx

Tribute For This Weekend


Candles will be lit as usual on Sunday for Monday



I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes and photographs they have taken the time to leave on Christopher’s Website they are very much appreciated I read every single one.
I Love And Miss Him So Much.

Thanks again Angela X



Love is like a butterfly;
It goes where it pleases
And pleases wherever it goes.


The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart


The Watcher

You always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.

And though we mocked you tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because you waited there.

Your thoughts were all so full of us,
You never could forget,
And so I think that where you are
You must be watching yet.

Waiting ‘til we come home to you
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.


To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me


When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories in your heart

I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me,
I will be near and if you listen with your heart,

You will hear all of my love around you
Soft and clear then, when you must come this way alone I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"



Friends Are Like Angels,


Who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wonderful,
Magical ways.
Their thoughtfulness comes,

As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.
Like upside-down rainbows,

Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.
Friends are like angels,

Without any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious thing

Not a goodbye....

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you have so kindly given me and my little man Issac over the last 6months. But just to let you know me and Issac will be leaving gts, this is not something i have taken lightly but is something i need to do. We will not be gone forever, we will be back... I just don't know when that time will be. I hope you understand.
You and your precious angel will always hold a place in my heart and be forever in my thoughts.
Once again, thank you for everything you have done for me and my baby that i will be forever thankful for and i'm sure Issac will be too.

Lots of love

A BROKEN HEARTED SISTER


It's an entity all it's own
with it's pain that's never really gone.

It has many thoughts and faces
But very few reality traces.

It makes you ask many a question
All of which you try to shun.

What~When~Where~If Why?
Could I have done something, so my brother wouldn't die?


This part of grief is a heart wrenching task.

Hours turn to days~days to months~months to years
This is the war~you fight without gear.

You feel bare and naked and all alone
at times, you feel like you can't go on.

You say "This happens to someone else ~ not me!"
This I think every one would agree.

But this time it really is you
You scream "No No No" but it's oh so true.

This nightmare that never ends
With these feelings~ you just can't pretend.

People say "Well you sure look good!"
Don't they know we would die if only we could.

Yes, grief has it's own way
While we endure it and live day to day.

♥ ♰ ♥ I heard your voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face;
the warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sky today
as its warmth filled the sky;
I closed my eyes for your embrace
and my spirit soared high.

I saw your eyes in the window pane
as I watched the falling rain;
it seemed as each raindrop fell
it quickly said your name.

I held you close in my heart today
it made me feel complete;
you may have died...
but you are not gone
you will always be a part of me.
♥ ♰ ♥ ♥ ♰ ♥ ♥ ♰ ♥ ♥ ♰ ♥ ♥ ♰ ♥
I hope you all have a enjoyable day
take care with love as always linda.xxx

I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Their work on earth is done."
︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace dear one at last."
︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."
︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The Lord is coming soon."
︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They left you with their love."
︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They're with you every day."
"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they've finally found.

WITHOUT YOU

My heart is torn in two

WITHOUT YOU

There is no sunshine

WITHOUT YOU

There is no joy

WITHOUT YOU

My heart will always cry

WITHOUT YOU

I am nothing

My beauitful brother that once was here

I want the world to know

I loved you very dear

WITHOUT YOU

I NEVER THOUGHT

I WOULD BE HERE WITHOUT YOU
