Craig Anthony Rothwell
(ROTHERS)
12 December 1975 - 4th September 1994
Craig was such a lovely lad, Iknow we all say that but he was a big lad with a big heart.
Born 12th of the 12th 1975, we were execeptionally close.
Craig was more like my brother, than my cousin and when he passed he was staying with me, and I was inconsolable.
This my dear brother is my tribute to you,
My mother was, his god mother, and so felt a duty to look after and care for him when he was in need of it.
Unfortunately was never able to grieve properly and circumstances, at the time left me distaught not being able to attend your funeral. I did however visit as soon as it was over.
I dont tend to your grave or even visit as often as i'd like but,our kid its still so raw, you'd not think it was twelve long years since you were taken from us. It left a massive gaping hole, and an endless flow of tears.
I was never given the chane to tell you how much love I had then, and still hold in my heart for you to this day and forever. I miss you babe, and still find it hard to hold back tears when you are in my thoughts
Not a day goes by without you you popping to my mind.that I dont think of you, in one way or an other.
LOVE YOU ALL THE WORLD AND BACK AGAIN
( I just only wish you could)
Miss you always and forever until we meet again little brother xxxx
your big sister

craig
Your crazy antics running around
you'd shout out randomness, loud and proud.
remember our moonies as busses past
I never thought it wouldn't last.
the fun we had is still inside
I'd love to share with you one more ride,
on your pride and joy your motor bike.
we had no boundaries we did what we'd like.
I knew your pain you felt on your own
now to heaven you've passed i hope the pain's gone
of all who miss you now you are gone.
I believe it hurts me most.
I'll leave all who read this with one of his random shouts
' EWWWW ROGER PALMER ' god knows why but he shouted it often. lol
love ya craig ya gone but never will you be forgotten.
see you on the flip side
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 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.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?
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.
love u
You've touched my heart,
You've helped me through,
My pain and sorrow,
which weren't too few.
You shared my smiles,
and my tears.
You were always there,
to squelch my fears.
To you my uncle and confidant,
I give my heart of love,
My smiles of laughter,
and the hope that,
We will remain friends,
forever and after
meat u up der my lovin uncle xx
