Thank you Ellie for my beautiful Picture


Sharon Cook beloved daughter of Reginald and Linda Cook Sharon Cook was born in Dudley
Road Hospital on the 30th July 1973, but sadly died of Hydrocephalus.

At six weeks old Sharon had an operation at Dudley Road Hospital, the operation was to put a valve
from the head to the heart so the heart could pump away the fluid. The operation took four hours
which at the time seemed never ending but went successfully "thank God".

Everything went fine for about three months until Sharon had a fit, she went all floppy and
lifeless. Reg and I rushed up to Dudley Road Hospital by the time we reached the hospital she had
began coming out of the fit, Dudley Road kept her in just incase this kept happening, they would
unblock the valve and she would come out after two days.

On the 17th November she had her last fit we were visiting my sisters in Tamworth when she started
fitting, we rushed to Dudley Road but I knew this was different her little face had a different
expression. By the time we arrived at the hospital she came out the fit, they kept her in again so
we stayed with her until she fell a sleep. The next day she was her happy little self and the
hospital said she could go home tomorrow .
I went to pick Sharon up from the hospital at 0900am the following day, I walked in to find her cot
empty. I asked a nurse "where Sharon was" when I was told she was in intensive care, I passed out
hitting the ground in shock, I was brought round with smelling salts to face the horror. Then I was
taken into see a doctor who then told me there was no hope and could they use her organs for
donation, I said she'd been through enough but this is something I do regret now as i wasn't strong
enough at the time to help others . Then Reg arrived who had been fetched out of work by the police,
they took us in to see Sharon to find wires and tubes all over her seeing the machines on her still
gives me nightmares today.

On the 21st November at 2am we were holding her hand and the machine stopped and there was a loud
bleeping noise, nurses and doctors came from everywhere but we were told everything was fine but we
knew it wasn't but didn't want to face it. In the morning they told us to go home so we could have a
shower and something to eat reluctantly we went home, Reg phoned when we got back to his Nans and
thats when we were told that our baby had died our lifes have never been the same since and never
will be. Sharon was laid to rest in Witton cemetery near a lovely weeping willow tree.

Sharon was the most pleasant little girl she was always smiling I can't remember her ever crying.
She loved dancing in her walker to Top Of The Pops she had two budgies called Peter and Joe which
died the same day she did, I would like to think she took them with her, she loved birds, even wild
birds.

We would feed the wild birds on the window ledge, they would come that close to her she could touch
them, Sharon would look back at me with her little finger on her lips as if to say, "mommy be quiet"
she was so gentle and loving she would just look with her little nose resting on the window ledge
with a smile that would melt your heart. "We will never get over losing you sweetheart no matter how
long its been".

Sharon fell a sleep on the 21st November 1974 at 15 months old. and now has three sisters and a
brother who never had the pleasure of meeting her, June, Jimmy, Jane and Hayleigh but did visit her
grave with us every week .


This is on Sharons head stone, A tiny flower lent not given to bud on earth and bloom in heaven.

Waiting at the Door

I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand

It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops

But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled

I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door

Beautiful memories are wonderful things,
They last through the longest day
They never wear out, they never get lost,
And can never be taken away.

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦

Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

I NEVER SAW YOUR WINGS

How is it that I never saw your wings
when you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
to the Heavens I could hear the
faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multicolored wings
surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.
Daughter my angel God has given you your assignment
always my Daughter forever my angel.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away
the tears I shed since I can no longer hold
you in my arms but in my heart.
You earned those wings dear Daughter
and you will always be me angel eternal.

Tributes For Week Starting 16th November


FOR MONDAY

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.

FOR TUESDAY

I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.

FOR THURSDAY

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.


FOR FRIDAY

Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home

The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain

But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace

Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.


FOR SATURDAY

Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...

It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.

My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know..
.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.


FOR SUNDAY

When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds -
Miss me, but let me go.

Though your smile is gone forever,
And your hand we cannot touch,
Still we have so many memories,
Of the ones we loved so much.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part,
God has you in His keeping,
And we have you in our Heart.

If Your Knew

If you knew where I am standing
If you could see the sights I see
If you could hear the angels singing
The songs they sing eternally
If you knew the One I'm holding
Could see the smile He smiles at me
If you knew where I am resting
You would not cry for me

I'm resting in the arms of Jesus
No other place would I rather be
So if you shed a tear
Please don't shed it for me
For if you knew where I am resting
You would not cry for me

A little heart stopped beating
there was nothing we could do
your precious life was ended
and we said a prayer for you
you must have been very special
for god to take you by the hand
but why you had to leave so soon
we'll never understand xxx

thinking of you always xxxxx
