IVE BEEN AWAY FOR A WEEK THE DAY AFTER DEANS BIRTHDAY AND HAVE CAME BACK HOME TODAY, I AM TRULY
OVERWHELMED WITH ALL THE MESSAGES, GREETINGS AND THOUGHTS OF EVERYONE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY AND WHILST
IVE BEEN AWAY.
IT MAY TAKE A FEW DAYS TO CATCH UP ON ALL MY CANDLES XXX
I will never forget that day 22nd December as the pain is etched in my heart. The day my
beautiful,only son was taken from me, I relive it daily as a waking nightmare and I know I too,
died that day and now I live my life waiting to be with him again.
I will get round to writing a fitting eulogy for Dean as his life had so much meaning and he meant
so much to so many but at the moment its all still jumbled up in my head.
Trying to get through each day without him is all I can do at the moment.

Dean was 18 yrs old. He died 22nd December 2007 @10.15pm on woodhouse rd davyhulme. Dean was an
innocent passenger in a car that overturned. Another special man Paul Dobson aged 24 died a few days
later in hospital, Paul was also just a passenger. . Dean will be missed by all of his loving family
Ann his mum. Tony his dad, Sarah his big sis and Jake his nephew.

Dean will be truly missed by everyone who had the chance to know him he was a great guy and lifelong
friend to Barker, Badge and Cunny.
Dean worked at Virgin Media with his dad and wanted to train to become a chef.He was an avid United
supporter and loved watching the games with his Dad.
Nobody will forget his kind heart and beautiful smile. He would give anybody a chance and was there
for anybody who needed him. His kind heart will live with us always and his passion for life has
inspired us to keep strong and be decent people.

Never will the day come we wont think of you. Keep surrounding us with your love and we can remember
the joy you brought us every time we opened our eyes. You were a true gooden. Life as we know it
will never be the same.

Proudest family EVER XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I would like to thank everyone who has took the time to write on here, Thankyou xx

On 29th January 2009 Barry Woods was sentenced to 5 years 6 months for 2 counts of death by
dangerous driving of Dean Obrien and Paul Dobson.
Both families knew that this was the best we could hope for and so Justice as it stands at the
moment was done.
This is not the end just the beggining of another
road we will travel down and I now look to Dean to help us get through each day and to keep his
memory strong, Happy memories of happy times,times that make you smile, memories that can never be
taken from us.
Im not going to write bitter things as that will wear me down and make me weaker and make me a
person Dean wouldnt like, instead I will put my anger and hurt away and try to concentrate on the
love I had and always will
LOVE YOU MY SON MY BABY BOY XX

Just the average family
We didn't ask for more,
Then life was changed completely
With that knock upon our door

This awful thing had happened
And none of us knew why,
You were never coming back again
And we didn't say goodbye

Our world just fell to pieces
We cried in disbelief,
We had to stick together
To overcome our grief

We'll never understand it
It all seems so unfair,
We wish we'd hear that knock again
And see you standing there
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Where did that smile go?
The one you saved just for me
A smile between Mother and son
There for all the world to see
Created in an instant
Even before your birth
That smile warmed my soul
And gave me Heaven on earth

Where did that smile go?
The one that was mine alone
I cannot seem to find it
It isn’t in our home
I’ve looked in every room
I’ve hunted high and low
I’m feeling lost without it
I really miss it so

Where did that smile go?
The one that could melt my heart
I would have hidden you away
If I’d known we’d have to part
It’s lonely here without you
It’s a shadow life I lead
And tucked in every moment
Is a sad and painful need

Where did that smile go?
The one where love shone through
Where each day was very special
If I shared that day with you
That smile is now my comfort
It’s in my very soul
That smile is breathing life
To fill an empty hole.

It isn’t in the bedroom
That was a silly place to start
That smile has never left me
It’s living in my heart.
LOVE YOU MY BABY BOY, MY HANDSOME MAN, MY FRIEND MY MEANING OF LIFE XXXX


God saw the road was getting rough,
The hill was hard to climb,
He gently closed your loving eyes,
And wispered "peace be thine"

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Our Reunion in Heaven Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ



We weren't prepared that day,
When God called you away.
So many tears we cried,
Longing to keep you at our side.

How we loved and missed you so,
And weren't ready to let you go,
But it gives us comfort to know,
Within the twinkling of our eyes,
You entered into paradise.

A place with beauty beyond measure,
Eternal happiness and treasure,
Where you have no more pain or tears,
Nor sorrow, worries, and fears.

Although, for now, we are apart,
Your precious memories live in our heart,
Until God calls us each to heaven's door,
Where we'll be reunited, forever more

our angels

**************************************

Occasionally, we are graced with the presence of an earth
bound angel. They are unable to stay with us for long, but
while they do, they bring unprecedented joy and happiness to
all they touch. While they are here, we bask in their goodness
and marvel at their contribution to the world. When they
leave, we are left with the devastation that comes with losing
such a wonderful being... but we must remember... the earth
bound angels are not ours to keep. They are ours to enjoy,
learn from, and behold until they return home.

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.


Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November



FOR MONDAY



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


FOR TUESDAY


Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.


FOR WEDNESDAY


A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.


FOR THURSDAY


Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.



FOR FRIDAY


The Watcher

They 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 them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.

Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.

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



FOR SATURDAY


As We Look Back


As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?

For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems

And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?

We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things

Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.



FOR SUNDAY


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 memoriss 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"

TRIBUTE FOR 19-11-09

♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥

One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥

The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥

It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!

♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.

♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.

♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09

Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 22-11-09

♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
You gave us love
And lots more,
We have so much
To thank you for,
Silent thoughts,
Memories deep,
Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I wish you all a very peaceful weekend my friend
With love as always Linda.xxx

Until We Meet Again by Alan G

People try to help me,
Everyone is so kind,
But no matter what they say to me,
I always seem to find,

They look at me with sympathy,
In a caring sort of way,
I thank them and attempt to smile,
As I walk away,

The tears start welling up again,
Every time it’s the same,
I simply fall to pieces,
At the mention of your name.

I know that your in heaven now,
And my heart is filled with pain,
But the angels will take care of you,
Until we meet again
