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.

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST
Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again,
I crash on rocks of anger,
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
When waters are to swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past,
By swimming in Hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me
When I'm gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
Don't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you love.
You can only guess how much that
You gave me in happiness.
I thank you for your love you each have shown.
But it is time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for me, grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comfort by trust.
It's only for a little while we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I'll come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
If you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home!"

FOR SUNDAY
Tears
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.

♥ LUV TO LINDA & REG XX
♥~You Will See Them Someday~♥
� Stephan Banks
When you lose someone it can be hard to take
The pain that you feel when your heart has to break
The memories you keep are all in your mind
As you search your soul for more to find
The way their skin felt the smell of their hair
As you keep thinking over and shedding a tear
The years may pass, memories fade to grey
But your getting no younger you'll see them someday
Unconditional love is never forgotten
look deep in your heart it is there at the bottom
Alone in the dark sometimes in fear
voices from loved ones your hoping to hear
More years pass, they soon fly by
but your always looked upon from those in the sky
Surrounded by clouds and pure white doves
They listen and watch sending you love
just remember one thing as you sit and you pray
They will be there to greet you, you will see them someday.
I am away for a few days break from monday 17th until friday 21st...so i'll light you candles now and send you all my love...see you saturday morning angel xxxxxxxxxx

Tributes for this weekend
FOR FRIDAY
I MISSED YOU
I woke up this morning
.....and I missed you
I got out of bed
.....and I missed you
I got myself washed
.....and I missed you
I got myself dressed
.....and I missed you
I came downstairs
.....and I missed you
I've only been awake a few minutes
And already I've missed you so much.
To those who've never lost a child,
Does that not make you understand?
Does that not make you see?
Just what my life is like now
How everyday is for me.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES
Remember the good times
Don’t ever feel sad
Remember the pleasure
And love that I had
Remember the laughter
And all that we shared
Remember with pride
For I know that you cared
And blame yourselves not
For what I did not see
My life had everything
You gave much to me
With love in our hearts
The memories will stay
Remember I'm only
A whisper away............
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
♥♥ With Love ♥♥
They say that life is fleeting
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you.
I know how much you miss me
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them at night.
I know your heart is hurting
The words we left, unsaid
I love you left unspoken
Are spinning in your head.
The strength that I have carried
That served to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger
Within your grieving soul.
For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray.
An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land.
As I look down from the heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened
With more weight than it can bear.
I long to bring you comfort
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.
The joy I've found in heaven
Goes far beyond compare
The love that's so elusive
Can be found here everywhere.
The light is softly shining
There's no storm clouds here or rain
There's no teardrops found in heaven
There's no suffering, there's no pain.
You needn't be so troubled
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we'll be together
One bright and glorious day.
So my love, you shouldn't question
My dear you need not cry
I've gone to be with Jesus
I really didn't die.

My Life changed, the very moment I found out
That you had passed away.
I couldn't stop it; there was nothing I could say.
You've touched my life so deeply to a point you will never know,
I try to think about you when I am feeling down and low.
Sometimes when my day gets hard
I will think about your beautiful smile
and if I listen hard enough I will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give me a reason to go on with my day,
and now if I want to see you I'll bow my head and pray.
I catch myself looking for you still,
In the halls and at your front door,
but when I call your name there is no reply any more!
I never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all I ask- why can't you give them back;
it seems like such a simple task.
I guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
I know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
10th Ausgust 2009
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.
(by Jean)
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MONDAY
Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.
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.

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 7th August
~Pennies Come From Heaven~
Found a penny today
Laying on the ground
But its not just a penny
This little coin I found
Pennies come from heaven
That's what my Mum told me
She said angels toss them down
Oh, how I loved this story
She said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your loved ones have tossed to you
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
~God's Garden~
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~
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 my 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 a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realised
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.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.
