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.

Thibutes For Week Starting 26th October
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MONDAY
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear Loved One
That we do not think of you.
FOR TUESDAY
Nothing can ever take away
The love a heart holds dear.
Fond memories linger every day
Remembrance keeps them near.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.
FOR THURSDAY
Those we love we never lose,
For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.
FOR FRIDAY
Memories Of Me
I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done..
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave behind
When life is done.
FOR SATURDAY
Separated For Now
Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon
Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this candle be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.
FOR SUNDAY
A Special Gift
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Angel, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

For all of us who believe...
A traveler crossed a frozen stream
in trembling fear one day;
Later another drove across,
and whistled all the way.
Great and little faith alike
were granted safe convoy;
One had pangs of needless fear,
the other all the joy. . .
God Bless

And tell them they're from me
Tell them I love and miss them

And hold them for awhile
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...
FOR SATURDAY
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
As you hold me close in memory,
Even though we are apart,
My spirit will live on,

Within their loving arms,

Where love will be eternal
And life will last forever.
I am with you always.

~~ The Angels ~~
May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring
May angels always care for you
And not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall
May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed
May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold
May they teach you what you want to know
About life here and here-after
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Angel In My Pocket ~~
I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in peoples pockets
That's where I have my fun
I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though i'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met
Before I was an angel...
I was a fairy in a flower
God himself hand picked me
And gave me angel power
Now god has many angels
That he trains in angel pools
We become his eyes and ears and hands
We become his special tools
And because god is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you
When he tucked me in your pocket
He blessed you with angel care
Then told me to never leave you
And I vowed always to be there
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Guardian Angels ~~
When angels sense you need them
and angels always do.....
they come unseen from everywhere
to help and comfort you
they hover close beside you
till all your cares are gone
till they can see you're ready
once again to carry on
Then some of them may fly away
and take their gentle touch
to other hearts that need
the love of angels very much
but one at least stays with you
as your constant friend and guide
for guardian angels never leave
they're always at your side
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
Lots Of Love Always ~~ Elaine...x♥x

Tributes For This Week 12th October
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MONDAY
Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
FOR TUESDAY
Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.
FOR WEDNESDAY
We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.
FOR THURSDAY
Thank you for loving and sharing,
For giving and for caring.
God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.
FOR FRIDAY
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come to Me".
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
FOR SATURDAY
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
FOR SUNDAY
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever

MY BELOVED ANGEL
Each day I wake up from a terrible dream,
Only to find the world has changed.
I go to your room; your things are still there
Your toys, your medals and your favorite bear.
The scent of you lingers, the smell of your hair
Memories of you, I find, are everywhere
Your precious books are stacked by the bed
And tissues that captured your tears as you read
Your paintings and drawings still hang on the wall
Collections of seashells and rocks from the beach
Bring back the memories of the times well spent
How do I go on without you by my side?
To love you to hold you, with smiles and pride.
My heart, it is broken, my dear beloved child
I miss your laughter, your music and your smiles,
All of our dreams of the future will never come true
The 'whys 'and 'if onlys 'endlessly swirl in my head
Please tell me, oh God, I wish I were dead
I want to be with you every second of the day
But Dad and your brothers, they need me to stay
Your friends and your family will never forget,
Your friendship, your love and your gentle kindness
You will live on forever in their hearts and their minds,
I will love you forever my darling, my child.
I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LANK OF CANDLES. I AM STILL NOT FEEL WELL. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT AND WELL WISHES. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME GET THROUGH MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY. PLEASE PRAY THAT I GET BETTER SOON. I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO. I WILL BE GONE DURING OCT. 22ND THROUGH 27TH. I WILL BE WITH MY BABY ON HIS 1ST ANGELVERSARY. PLEASE KNOW THAT I WILL BE THINKING OF YOUR ANGEL DURING THIS TIME TOO. ALL MY LOVE GLORIA
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME THAT I HAVE THE STRENGTH DURING THIS TIME BECAUSE I STILL FEEL SO LOST WITHOUT MY BABY. XOXO
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
on the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
you could call your very own;
a place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I can't build a mountain
or catch a rainbow fair,
but let me be what I know best,
a friend who's always there.

COMFORT
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
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay

FOR SUNDAY
FAREWELL
The sand of time are running low
And soon my children I must go
My heart with love for you is filled
But soon its beating must be stilled
I leave no treasures of any kind
Only my love I leave behind
Take it and share it between sister and brother
And always be kind to one another
Weep not beside the grave for me
Don't bring me flowers I cannot see
Only ashes lie neath the cold sod
Just pray that my soul has gone with God
Some of you perhaps may weep
When my eyes are closed in eternal sleep
But try to remember it won't be forever
For God can bring our spirits together
I pray that I go to a world far above
To be with the others that I love
And to wait awhile on that Heavenly plain
Until the day we shall meet again.

As I sit here safe in Heaven,
and watch you every day
I try to let you know with signs,
that I never went away.
I hear you when you’re laughing,
I even watch you sleep
I place my arms around you,
to calm you as you weep.
I see you wish the days away
as you beg to have me home
So I try to send you messages,
that you are not alone.
Don’t feel guilty that you have a life,
that was denied to me
Heaven is truly beautiful,
just you wait and see.
Please live your life, enjoy yourself,
just be totally free
Then I’ll know with every breath you take,
you’re taking one for me.
