24th August 1988 - 20th September 2007
Simon and his 18 year old girlfriend Aimee Mead were on their first holiday together, when they were both tragically killed in a car accident on 20th September 2007. When Simon wasn't staying at Aimee's Mum and partner Rod's house in Melksham, at work, out with mates or driving, he would be at home with my partner Bazz (Simon Barrow) and I. Simon has an older brother Darren who now has to come to terms with never being an uncle or having Simon as his "Bestman". We all have to find our "new normal", because with Simon gone our world has been torn to pieces, he was a kind and understanding son and from the comments in cards, at his funeral and on his Bebo website he was a good friend who lit up the room with his smile and laughter. When he met Aimee it was like the other half of him they were so much alike, now we will never see their relationship grow, but knowing he is with Aimee forever helps. I had never met Aimee's mum Diane but the day after they died we did meet, and what a truely wonderful woman she is. We are dragging each other through a very dark tunnel and hopefully we'll make it out the other side.
Aimee your a little star, Diane your the light that made the star shine bright, bright enough for Simon to see.
Simon we love and miss you so much, "see you in a bit".
♥♥♥xxx Love Mum, Bazz and Darren xxx♥♥♥
The parting was so sudden
We often wonder why
The hardest part of all was
We never said "Goodbye"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For You Little Bro.
The night you got your Renault 5
I remember it quite well.
The premiums soaring through the roof,
The insurance gave us hell!!
You grabbed your keys and away you drove,
Exhaust burbling into the distance.
That bloody car would’ve died,
If it weren’t for Bazzs’ persistence.
Mum and Bazz would sit at home,
Just waiting for your call,
“This bloody cars broke down again,
it just wont start, it’s stalled!”
The “bank of Mum”, was close at hand,
To fund your Renault passion.
And Bazz was there every time
Your Renault stopped its thrashin’
You had so many plans for her,
You loved your little car.
But your time has come, you were not done,
You were near, and yet so far.
But I’ll make this promise now Si,
There will never be another.
I’ll complete that car, I’ll do it for you,
My Turbo’d little brother.
Love Darren x

FOR MONDAY
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
FOR TUESDAY
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day,
That we do not think of you.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure...
FOR THURSDAY
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
FOR FRIDAY
After Glow
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
When life is done.
FOR SATURDAY
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship started, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine to tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now; He set me free.
FOR SUNDAY
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
Eyes 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 you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand...
That Jesus came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.
He said my place was ready
In Heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

I hope you and your girfriend have met up with my Robert and that you will enjoy your birthday in heaven today, Bless you lil man. xxx
From another broken hearted Mum.
Mothers Day!!!
Well Simon another "Mother's day" without you being here, still missing you so much and the last week has been a bad one for me. Sorry that I don't put flowers down for you, maybe one day I'll be left in peace to do it!! I know your not there, but in my heart♥♥
Darren, Ele and "my little ray of sunshine" Isabelle came down the other week, you would of loved Isabelle so much she's such a cutie. I am reminded of you every time I look at her because of her "Angel Kiss", you know what I mean ;-)
Both Bazz and I have had the feeling that you've been close by recently, I hope so anyway. I think you along with Darren and Bazz gave me the strength to get through last year, and it was not made any easier by you know who!! I wish I had the energy to be like that, but losing you has been so hard for me I have to fight to get through the day.
I hope you and Aimee are still looking after each other, Diane is still looking after me. She has been so good to me Simon and I will never ever forget that, just wish we all could of met up.....one day eh!!
Forever in my thoughts and heart Slimey ♥x♥x♥x♥ Mum xxx♥
Third Christmas Without You
xxx Merry Christmas Son xxx Our third Christmas without you and it's not any easier than the first. I know you'll understand why I'm doing what I'm doing or not doing. I'm not strong enough for mind games, as you know we've had another bad year except for the arrival of our "little ray of sunshine", she's lovely and so cute. Darren and Ele are brilliant parents, so good with Isabelle, but we knew they would be eh.
I miss you so much and I think of you and Aimee everyday, it's just not right that your not here.......
Love now and forever my little boy
Mum xxx
MISSING YOU SON AT CHRISTMAS.
Everybody's rushing around
Full of festive cheer,
But I’m finding all I want to do
At Christmas, is come here.
To talk to you a little while-
And bring a flower or two,
I can't buy you a present,
So what else can I do.
Remember son I LOVE YOU
I'm still hurting with all the pain,
I don’t think it will ever stop
Till I’m with you again.
Sending my love to your mum xx
♰ For Simon with love ♰
