Laura Jayne Kirwin died tragically on 11th November 2006. She was 19 years old. She was so
beautiful with the most gorgeous eyes you've ever seen. To us , she still is beautiful. She
was a devoted mammy to her little girl Keira who has inherited her mammy's beauty and wicked
sense of humour. Laura recognised in Keira the one person who had loved her without condition-no
questions or answers required. They spent so much special time together when Laura would sing to
her and read her stories. Laura thought that Keira was the best baby at everything and called her
the baby genius". Laura has three brothers-Joe, Tom and Cal. They all miss her terribly.
Callum hopes that she 's driving round in Heaven in an open top white sports car. Her cousin
Kerry Ann thought of Laura as her big sister. She looked up to her and admired her and she has the
same unique sense of style. Laura and Keira lived in Crook although Laura's heart was always
in Stanhope which is where she is now.
Laura loved life, being with her mates, partying,dancing and laughing. We laugh now at the memories
of the things she used to do and say. She loved music esp. dance music and was always wanting decks
so she could be a DJ. She loved to dance and to sing. Keira is the same. However, she also loved
Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Westlife etc. (when she was in a quieter mood). She loved to draw and
paint and was so proud that she had just learned how to paint a wall without getting paint all over
the ceiling. She was studying painting and decorating at college and hoped to set up a decorating
business once she had finished. Her college tutor thought that she had a special talent, above and
beyond the run of the mill. That was our Laura in everything-never run of the mill.
Unfortunately, there were people in Laura's life who made her very sad. It has been very
difficult in the last year and a half not to feel angry against those people. The people that are
still walking around with their lives intact. She never deserved to be treated in the way that she
was. She was never shown the love and respect that she should have been shown. All she wanted was
to be loved. I only wish she'd realised how many people loved her and cared for her and that
the idiots were in the minority.
Laura went through hell the last night of her life at the hands of her so called boyfriend who was
no more than a drunken druggie and I have relived those hideous last hours over and over again. I
cant bear to think of the pain that she went through at his hands. He was lucky to have someone as
beautiful as Laura in his life but he treated her as if she was nothing. After Laura died, the
vicar told me that she had been in hell and God had taken her out of it. I have had to question why
God didnt take him?-the one that was creating the hell!
Laura had been hoping to move back to Stanhope with Keira. Ironically, she had said to one of her
friends-"this estate is going to kill me".
The day that Laura's life ended, mine did too. I long to talk to her and to hold her and tell
her that it'll be ok. We had never been as close as we were in those last few years. She kept
me on my toes and I miss her so much. I'm so lost without her. My heart is broken and I know
that it will never mend Just the simple things like taking her some peardrops and 10 lambert and
butler and texting her to tell her to get the kettle on when I was nearly there. When we cuddled we
melted into one. I will always regret that I wasnt able to save her. All I can do now is make sure
that Keira is happy and loved and safe.
Laura's death has left such a huge void in so many people's lives. We know that life will
never be the same again. She was such a big personality, loved by more people than she ever knew.
I'm sure she knows now. A year and a half later and some people expect you to be over it!!
How can we ever be over it? We will miss her and long for her forever.
The people that really knew Laura knew what a sensitive soul she was and how beautiful she was on
the inside as well as the outside. She wasnt as "street-wise" as she pretended to be or
as "hard". That's why she wasnt able to deal with those people who had no feelings.
The people who took advantage of her and pretended to be her friend so they could use her and her
house.
I hope she's safe now in God's care, that's she dancing and singing in Heaven,
keeping them all on their toes. Truly DJing in God's Kitchen.

i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me
by e. e. cummings
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
Always, Laura, always. xxx
The south-wind brings
Life, sunshine, and desire,
And on every mount and meadow
Breathes aromatic fire;
But over the dead he has no power,
The lost, the lost, he cannot restore;
And, looking over the hills, I mourn
The darling who shall not return.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
“Undo it, take it back,
make every day the previous one
until I am returned to the day
before the one that made you gone.
Or set me on an airplane traveling west,
crossing the date line again and again,
losing this day, then that,
until the day of loss still lies ahead,
and you are here instead of sorrow.”
— Nessa Rapoport,
'In one of the stars I shall be living
In one of them I shall be laughing
And so it will be
As if all the stars were laughing
when you look at the sky at night'
Laura, I hope that you are living in the stars, shining forever.xxx
R.I.P Laura miss you! thinkin of you x x
I was friends with Laura for alot of years when we both lived at Stanhope. We had some brilliant times 2gether like when we went on holiday with her gran margaret and aunty and cousins we had a brilliant time, Laura was a really good friend and was always fun to be around. We were like double trouble always gettin into mischief, im sure Lauras gran Margaret will agree! how ever through time me and Laura went our separate ways never fell out just grew apart we always spoke when ever we saw each other tho. I was so shocked and upset when i heard that Laura had passed away i couldnt believe it at 1st. I just wish we hadnt went separate ways and that she never met that so called boyfriend. She is greatly missed by loadz of people Laura was a big personality and touched alot of peoples lives and is greatly missed. Thinking of you Debbie, Margaret and all the family x x x
How do I live without you?
This pain is killing me inside Laura. I wonder how I can carry on without you in my life. I miss you so much and long so much to talk to you and hold you. I cant believe that I'm never going to see you again and sometimes I cant even think about it or I would really lose my mind. You were so beautiful and so full of life. How can it be that you are still not dancing and singing and laughing? I only hope that there is a life after this one and that you are up in Heaven dancing among the stars. You will always be my beautiful babe and I will love you for as long as I shall breathe. I carry your heart in mine always and whatever I do or wherever I go it is with you in my mind and my heart and my soul.xxx
♥ღ♥ There you\'ll be. A song by Faith Hill ♥ღ♥
When I think back on these times
And the dreams we left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When I think back on these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
And everywhere I am there you'll be
Well, you showed me how it feels
To have the sky within my reach
And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me
Your love made me make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
Cause I always saw in you my life, my strength
And I want to thank you now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
Always
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be
And everywhere I am there you'll be
There you'll be.

Who can say...
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away' s not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away' s not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away' s not far
To where you are
In memory of your beautiful Angel, Laura. @)->--
The Gift of Someone Who Listens By Nancy Myerholts
Those of us who have travelled a while
Along this path called grief,
Need to stop and remember that mile,
The first mile of no relief.
It wasn't the person with answers
Who told us the way to deal,
It wasn't the one who talked and talked
That helped us to start to heal.
Think of the friend who quietly sat
and held our hands in theirs,
The ones who let us talk and talk
and hugged away our tears.
We need to always remember
That more than the words we speak,
It's the gift of someone who listens
That most of us desperately seek.
Thank you for listening and holding my hand, Debbie.
Love Deb
