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.

Generations have asked
Where in the body is soul’s place?
What fallacy, this endeavor
As if mortal frame could contain
Eternity.
The body’s in the soul--
Surrounded by its
Soft shell carapace
Of forever.
--Francine L. Trevens, "Fallacy"
Sending some Sunday love.
God Bless

The Rainbow comes and goes,
And lovely is the Rose,
The Moon doth with delight
Look round her when the heavens are bare;
Waters on a starry night
Are beautiful and fair;
The sunshine is a glorious birth;
But yet I know, where'er I go,
That there hath passed away a glory from the earth…
William Wordsworth
God Bless.
To All Parents
“I’ll lend you for a little time a child of mine,” He said.
“For you to love the while he lives and mourn when he is dead,
“It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three.
“But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
“He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, but should his stay be brief,
“You’ll have his lovely memories, as solace for your grief,
“I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
“But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
“I’ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
“And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you.
“Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,
“Nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say: Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
“For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness: we’ll love him while we may,
And for happiness we’ve known forever grateful stay.
“But should the angels call for him much sooner than we’d planned.
“We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.”
Edgar Guest

In words of wisdom we still carry with us
And memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved ones arms
and tell them they're from me.
Tell them I love and miss them,
And when they turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for a while.
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

FOR SUNDAY
Still With Us
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 28TH AUGUST
Good Bye
I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.
Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”
So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.
But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.
You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
If I Had One Last Day
If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied
I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay
You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"
Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"
If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart
If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.

FOR SUNDAY
Letter From Heaven For My Family........
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.

~~~~ White Feather ~~~~
A gap in the curtain
Let in the light
As I lay on my pillow
Sleeping last night
I opened my eyes
The light was so bright
I was sure that I heard you
Whisper night night
A little white feather
tickled my nose
Where did it come from
Do you suppose
Had you been to visit
To whisper night night
And left the white feather
I think that you might

When we were all together,

FOR TUESDAY
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
We'd ask with all our hearts,
For yesterday and you.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Just a thought of sweet remembrance,
Just a memory, sad and true;
Just the love and sweet devotion,
Of the one who thinks of you.
FOR THURSDAY
No hand so soft and gentle
No heart so tender, true
No sorrow life could bring us
To equal losing you.
