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.

♥ღ♥ One More Day ♥ღ♥
Last night I had a crazy dream,
A wish was granted just for me.
It could be for anything.
I didn't ask for money,
Or a mansion in Timbuktoo.
I simply wished for one more day with you.
One more day,
One more time.
One more sunset.
Maybe I'd be satisfied.
But then again I know what it would do.
Leaving me wishing still...
for one more day with you.
One more day,
First thing I'd do is
Pray for time to crawl.
I'd unplug the telephone,
Keep the TV off,
I'd hold you every second,
Say a million I love you's.
That's what I'd do...
With one more day with you.
If only we all could just have one more day.
♥ღ♥ Bless you Laura ♥ღ♥
Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent the tears that fall
Living our hearts without you
Is the hardest part of all
You did so many things for us
Your heart was kind and true
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you
The special years will not return
When we were all together
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.
Bless you Laura.
Thinking of you always Debbie xx
I knew you so briefly while you lived nextdoor... I'm friends with your mam & feel so sad when I think about the tragic loss. I hope you & Jill are partying up there with the angels. Am sure she's lost her handbag whilst boycotting the smoking ban in heaven... Love her sooo much. Allo xx
Thinking of you ALL
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free:
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy--
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah, yes, these things I, too, will miss.
Be not hardened with times of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee--
God wanted my now, He set me free
Friends by K x
Friend: that one special person
who makes life a bit easier
by just being there and listening
to your problems and difficulties.
Friendship: a special bond
between two people.
A bond that time cannot break.
I'm proud to be your friend Debbie.
Love Deb
xx
It is strong like a chain, with linking hearts.
♥ღ♥ Gone Only To Others by Ann Holloway ♥ღ♥
Others, who do not know,
Tiptoe around your name
Unaware that your name is silently
Written on my heart, my soul, my life
And inwardly I cry out to hear it spoken.
Others who do not know
Think of you as only in the past
And believe
That you only exist in my past too
Not understanding that you are
Past, Present, Future.
Others, who do not know,
Feel you as gone,
And fail to see the reality of you
Never being ‘truly’ gone from me.
The empty void of your absence
Is filled with your presence,
Your life will forever weave through mine
The divine bond cannot be severed.
Others who do not know,
Mistakenly may think that my love has been
Weakened by separation,
Feelings ceased,
Not so.
Entwined and strengthened
My love for you lives on
And has not died with death.
But you know all this,
If only others knew.
Love to you Debbie. Hope to see you soon x
Remember Me.
To the living I am gone,
To the sorrowful I will not return,
To the angry I was cheated,
To the happy I am at peace,
To the faithful I have never left.
I cannot speak but I can listen,
I cannot be seen but I can be heard,
As you stand upon a shore,
Gazing at a beautiful sea,
Remember Me...
As you look in awe at a mighty forest,
And its grand majesty.
Remember Me...
As you look upon a flower and admire,
Its simplicity.
Remember Me...
Remember me...
In your heart, your thoughts,
Memories of the times we loved,
The times we cried, the times we fought,
And the times we laughed.
For whenever you think of me...
I will always be remembered.
My Wish ♥ღ♥
When you are lonely,
I wish you love.
When you are down,
I wish you joy.
When you are troubled,
I wish you peace.
When things are complicated,
I wish you simple beauty.
When things are chaotic,
I wish you inner silence.
When things are empty,
I wish you hope.
When you need your Angel, Laura
I wish you faith...to know she is with you...always.
Thoughts
I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile
An Angel loved so dear ♥ღ♥
There is always a face before me,
A voice I would love to hear,
A smile I will always remember,
Of an Angel I love so dear.
Deep in my heart lies a picture,
More precious than silver or gold,
It's a picture of my Angel,
Whose memory will never grow old.
From one shattered heart to another.
Thinking of you Debbie...love Deb xx
