A true mate to many............
Passed away tragically......'Absent in body, present in spirit'
My dear brother Glenn, sleep peacefully with the angels away from the hurt and pain of this world. You are in our thoughts every day, wishing we could have you back with us, hold you close and take all your worries away......A talented motocross rider known in your sport as 'Lordy 206' who won several trophies, this was your passion along with your daughter Kali who you adored. We will be forever devastated at losing you, we love and miss you terribly. We hold on to the belief that, 'those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday'. You will always have such a special
place in our hearts. Loving you forever, forgetting you never....your broken hearted family xxxxoooxxxxoooxxxoooxxxoooxx
Parting comes and hearts are broken, loved ones go
with words unspoken
We miss you more than anyone knows, as time goes by
the emptiness grows
The tears we share are wiped away but the ache in our
hearts is there to stay
Loved and remembered everyday
Here are some special memories I shared at your funeral I know you fondly remember....fun times...a reflection of our happy and fun childhood..
Remember every Saturday morning we would walk down the shops to buy a 20p mix up of sweets. We would then come back and sit together in the chair in front of the TV and watch Tiz Waz and Batman whilst being moved around the room by mum as she was hoovering.
I remember racing our bikes around the dirt track over the factories, you always won. You had the advantage though on your BMX, whilst I was on my racer which wasn't designed for dirt tracks.
You regularly wanted me to give you a 'backy' on your canary yellow Chopper bike, this was only if you would pull me on my roller skates. I think I ended up pushing you more than you pulled me though...lol
We would often sit at the top of the zig zag bridge by the old spider park waiting for the next train to come along. Seeing who could stay sat above the track whilst the train thundered underneath. I was always the chicken that ran away into the corner when the train finally came along.
When we came home from school we would go over to Nan & Gramps Raines and waiting for us would be a plate of biscuits and a cup of orange squash. We would sit and watch all the children's programmes like He-Man, Duck Tales and Fun House before going home for tea which we couldn't eat because we'd eaten too many biscuits.
When we visited Rinty's Nan & Gramps, we would always set up an assualt course with her furniture in the lounge and run circuits through her house. This wouldn't go on for long before one of us fell and hurt ourselves and that would be the end of that.
I fondly remember every Sunday when we'd go with Paul Clay to the motocross meetings he raced in. You always made me walk to the highest part of the track all through the mud to watch the races, saying that it was where the most action was. This is where your passion for motocross developed, you often went around to Paul's to watch him washing and repairing his bike too. Paul would take you up the road on the back which you loved.
Moving onto our adult lives you were proud to be an Usher at my wedding in 1998. You had such a great day and ended it with the funniest attempt at riding up the hill by the Commodore Hotel on your 100cc motorbike with a very drunken Ady on the back. There you were desperately trying to balance the bike and avoid blowing the engine in first gear whilst Ady kept turning around, bottle in hand, laughing and raising toasts to everyone watching. It was so funny and still makes us all chuckle.
The second motocross bike you had was your KTM (No.3) which you let Cameron sit on one day when you had it in the garden, he was so chuffed with that and the Mongoose motocross shirt you bought for him. He still has it along with your helmet which I brought back to Australia with me to keep forever. It sits very proudly upon Cameron's wardrobe in his room. He talks about you often and misses you very much too.
The last very special memory of you was 4 weeks before we lost you, when you sat and chatted to me on Skype. You kept laughing at how cool it was to be able to see and speak to me in Australia whilst sitting in Mum and Dad's lounge. You showed me the two trophies you had recently received, you were so proud. I was very impressed and proud of you too.
We were always sticking up for each other, standing up for each other and having a laugh together. We had so much fun growing up and this is only a tiny snippet of the memories I will always treasure. I'm so very sad that I will not be able to grow old with you Glenn, watch over us all forever.
We miss you so very much, all our love will be with you until we meet again. Sleep peacefully baby brother xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy Heaven Birthday Glenn xxxxx
Another year that you're not here to share your birthday with, it doesn't get any easier, in fact it gets harder because the realization that you'll never be back feels stronger. That feeling draws the ache deep in my heart back up to the surface and breaks it once again. :'-(
You're beautiful girls are gorgeous Glenn you would have so much fun with them. I know you watch over them and protect them, it's just sad you're not here to share their laughter and tears
I know you're with us in spirit but would love to have you back in our lives to make us smile and laugh like you used to. I can still here you telling me your work stories and having me in absolute stitches !!!!
A bit strange you might think but my dogs registration tags came yesterday and Simba's ended in 74 which is my year of birth and Oscar's ended in 75, your year of birth . Little coincidences like this keep you very close to me
I hope you feel the love we all send to you on your 36 th Birthday, we miss you so very much and will always want you back. I love to you to the moon and back my little gladiator...... Forever broken hearted I'll be, until we meet again baby brother xxxxxxxx
Birthday wishes
Dearest Glenn, Wishing you heavenly happiness on your 36th birthday, we love to watch the snippets of video we have of you so that we can hear your voice and see your face again, not that we would ever forget. Kali and Melissa are so like you when you were their age it is uncanny, the same cheeky grin and happy nature. I am sure you are looking down on them, you would be so proud. We think of you every day and wish we could turn back the clock to replay your last day but change the ending so that you were still here. The tears still fall and the ache in my heart will never go away but I know we shall meet again one day and be together forever.Love always Mum and Dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

♥♥Three long years ♥♥
Dear Glenn ♥♥
Three long years have passed us by
I can't believe it's true
To know you're never coming back
It makes me feel so blue
My heart it is still broken
I know it will not mend
Until we are together
All my love I send
Forever you are my brother
My protector and best friend
Loving you forever, forgetting you never xxxxxxxxx
I miss you more each passing year and wish that you were still here, may you fly on the wings of love and know that we will always love and miss you Glenn, forever in my heart and soul xxxxxxxxxxx
Dear Glenn
Well I did it, I've got a tattoo and yes it did hurt but so worth it. I wanted something in your memory that would stay with me forever and had significance. I haven't had chance to visit your resting place yet either as I'm 10,000 miles away so although you're in my thoughts every day you can walk with me here and each time I look at it I'll smile. It's very pretty and I'm very happy with the design...mine of course. Your initial is surrounded by blue which signifies you (a boy) and the butterfly is pink which signifies me(a girl). Together you'll walk with me for the rest of my life but until then I'll conitnue to miss you terribly and love you with all my broken heart........wishing I could hug you xx Bev xx :-(
Happy 35th Birthday !!
Dear Glenn
It still feels strange that I age without you, you used to catch up to me by one year and 6 months later I'd be ahead again by 2 years. You should have been 35 today but unfortunately you will be forever young. We love you so very much and miss you every day. I will never get used to knowing I will never see you again, it still breaks my heart.......You may be forever young but you will be forever loved, missed and treasured my little gladiator......I hope you are at peace on your birthday and wrap yourself up in the love we all send to you....loving you forever, forgetting you never, forever broken hearted....your big sister Bev xxxxxx

♥ Imagine a desert
♥ without sand
♥ Imagine an arm
♥ without a hand
♥ Imagine a butterfly
♥ without wings
♥ Imagine winter without
♥ the promise of spring
♥ Imagine night without
♥ the arrival of dawn
♥ Imagine a life spent
♥ being just a pawn
♥ Image a soul
♥ that never connects
♥ Imagine a world
♥ that always rejects
♥ Imagine eyes that
♥ do not see
♥ Imagine knowing
♥ it can never be...
♥ Imagine a touch that
♥ does not feel
♥ Imagine a heart
♥ made out of steel
♥ Imagine a body
♥ that does not yield
♥ Imagine life’s storms
♥ without a human shield
♥ Imagine a tear
♥ that never cries
♥ Imagine an ache
♥ that never dies
♥ Impossible to imagine….
♥ It’s life without you
