One of the most loving and caring people that anyone could ever wish to meet, Martin had a passion
for his life, his friends, his family and the people and places around him.
He changed my life completly when I met him, and I know that is true for a lot more than just me.
Martin left us all with a piece of him inside, we look at things in the Murt way now and I'd like to
think that we are better people for knowing him and sharing in a part of his life.
Tragicly Martin was taken from us on the 30th of October 2004 doing what he loved best, Kayaking, he
died with his best friend Neil that day, we remember them both every day and miss them very much :-(

Gently they go, the beautiful the tender, the kind,
I know, but I do not approve, and I am not resigned.....

I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way

A Message from Heaven...

To my dearest friends and family, some things I'd like to say...

but first of all, to let you know, that I've arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven where I dwell with God above; there are no tears of sadness here it's just eternal love...

Please do not be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night...

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and then said, "I welcome you - It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone; as for your dearest friends; they'll be here later on...

I need you here badly; you're a part of my big plan; there's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man...

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do; and foremost on this list, was to watch and care for you...

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight; God and I are closest to you then; in the middle of the night...

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years; because you'r only human, they are bound to bring you tears...

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain; Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain..

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned; But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand...

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over; I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before...

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time...

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you; If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night..."My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed this way, I made somebody smile; So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go...

When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind...

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going... you're coming here to me. xx

A great friend

Martin was one in a million, funny, charming, smart and just great! We all miss him and he will never be forgotten. It was so unfair that he was taken away from us so young. Its been 4 years now on 30th October and his memory will live on through us all. Love you Martin, where ever you are.

Love and Gratitude.

The agony is so great... and yet you stand it. Had you not loved so very much, you would not hurt so much. But goodness knows you would not want to diminish that precious love by one fraction of an ounce. You will hurt, and you will be grateful to take the hurt, for it bears witness to the depth of your meanings, and for that you will be eternally grateful.
