My pregnancy with Chris was a much longed for but very tricky one. At 26 weeks i was rushed into
hospital with a low placenta and Mum said her prayers to get us though. All was well in the end
when, in October 1989, the birth of Christopher Patrick Dennis Higgins, my beautiful baby boy at
8lbs 12oz, made us proud parents for the fourth time.
You see, that turned out to be Chris's way - he'd choose the most mischievous path, the one laden
with mishaps and pranks, but he'd reach the end every time with that smile on his face and ready for
the next adventure.
He was a troublesome little devil at times, an artful dodger who pushed the boundaries and lived
life to the full. And it was those eyes, that cheeky, infectious smile and that naughty laugh which
made it all forgivable. We wouldn't have changed Chris for the world, then or now.
Anyone who knew Chris, even for just a short time, would be impressed for the amazing zest for life.
As one of our five childrenhe carved out his own unique personality and he grew into a charming,
good looking, sweet-talking and fun to be around young man.
But there was much more to Chris than the fearless "Jack the Lad" image that so many of us saw. He
was kind, caring and compassionate, often beyond his years and he was honest about his actions. He
looked after me and his grandad Paddy through some tough times. We'd giggle for five minutes before
he helped me up off the floor if I'd fallen - he was thinking of me and he made light of the
situation for my sake. People didn't think Chris took life too seriously but he looked out for his
family and his friends.
The things i have heard said about my son since he passed away have almost made me burst with pride.
The way one young man, my son, managed to touch so many lives in such a short space of time is
unbelievable. It's that enormous sense of pride, taken from the hundreds of people praising my son,
that has been the one comfort to me and our family.
The day of Chris's funeral, while being one of the hardest days of our lives was also one of the
proudest. Seeing a church so full of people, whose lives Chris had touched in some way, was
overwhelming. that praise is the greatest tribute I can ask for my son. We've found it's not just
family and friends that saw him as a great listener and good company. He was remembered by people he
had only met once. Chris was kind thoughtful and funny. His Dad and I light up when we hear people
talk about him.
He had a sense of humour and a knack for storytelling that those who were privileged to know him
personally will never forget. Chris had matured into a great person. A great son. A great brother.
And a great friend. Whether it was watching the match, at rugby, DJ-ing or listening to one of his
stories, every one of us, every member of his family and his friends has those moments with Chris
that they will treasure.
Chris's family are, and always will be, immensely proud of everything Chris was - a very special
young man, full of life, love, passion and fun. Chris had a sense of caring that not everyone saw,
but those who did were blessed.
Our cheeky monkey, our ray of sunshine is so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without. We
were blessed with 18 years of treasured memories with our five. We miss the stories, the laughs, but
most of all just having Chris here, at his best and full of beans.
Through all the heartache we will treasure the time we had. He is missed more than words could ever
express but the memories we have of Chris will keep us strong. Chris loved life and lived it to the
fullest. We can take comfort in that if nothing else now. He is unspeakably and profoundly missed by
those whose lives he touched. A son and a brother to remember with love and most all PRIDE.
All Our Love,
Mum, Dad, Billy jnr, Colette, Tom, Lucy

We Wish That We Could See You
For Just A Little While
We Wish That We Could Hug You
And See Your Gorgeous Smile
But Wishing Gets Us Nowhere
And Our Longing Is In Vain
So We Will Hold You In Our Hearts
Until We Meet Again xxxx
WITH LOVE.XXX
A WONDERFUL DAY
Our Guardian Angels will speak to us
in many different ways.
They'll whisper joy from a bird's song
or wind through a majestic pine,
Or laugh amid the rolling clouds
in a joyous thunder clap,
Or whisper love through a turtle dove
or from a puppy's joyous yap,
So listen closely to every sound
than might come your way,
It could be your angel saying,
"Have a Wonderful Day."

FROM CHRISTOPHER WITH LOVE
TO THOSE I LOVE
To those I love,
Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of ME with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to me so tightly in your hearts - where I shall always be.
Your concern has always been for me, but I wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but I find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.
Please know that I am not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in me. When I left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. I am surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel your emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you.
It is comforting to know that you hold me so close while struggling with the prospect of letting me go. You need to know that we will always be together. Eternity is not 'out there,' eternity is now! I have simply moved a little farther ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love. The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that I am safe in God's perfect love. I would like you to take some of the love you have for me and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have. And let others love you . you are worth loving.
Life is forever....mine has changed in the twinkling of an eye while yours is changing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. Though your lives will never be the same, that does not mean that they cannot be filled with peace, joy and love. Always look to the future. Don't be afraid of tomorrow - God's already there.... Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes, and you will even find yourselves not thinking about 'me' from time to time. That's all right too.... All of my needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your world of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuable lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have your strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are all alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of me, never think of me as being alone. Think of me as smiling, laughing and enjoying all that God has prepared for me.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love you and care about you. Live with them, love with them, share with them and laugh with them. Make every day a celebration of life - a life that will never end. We will meet again, and until we do, know that I am very proud of you for never giving up.
I love you!
ALL MY LOVE GLORIA XOXO
ME TO YOU.....
When I look
at the crystal moon, the floating stars
or the butterflies kissing flowers,
everything carries me to you....
As if all things perfectly formed in this
natural world....
were little boats that sail eagerly towards
the shoreline of your paradise,
where you my beloved child waits for me.
The sands of time keep me shipwrecked,
but eventually the rhythm of eternity will
carry me home to you....
C Davis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While we impatiently await that one sweet day,
in the saftey of our GTS harbour, we can anchor
one another until this storm of a life passes us by.
Love and Light to you Anne and to our angels.xxxx

ANGEL CHILD
One day he asked God:
"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God: "Among the many angels, I chose one especially for you. She will
be waiting for you and will take care of you."
Child: "But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, and that's enough for me to be happy. Will I be happy
there?"
God: "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.
You will feel your angel's love and be happy."
Child: "How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to
me if I don't know the language that they talk?"
God: "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear. With much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
Child: "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God: "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
Child: "I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"
God: "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her own life."
Child: "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God: "even though I will always be with you, your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me. "
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child, in a hurry, asked softly:
"Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
God: "Your angel's name is of no importance. You will call your angel ...
Mommy."
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT.
ALL MY LOVE GLORIA AND MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL SON ANTHONY
AND MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL DAD JAIME XOXO
Are You There?
by Diane Robertson
Misty breeze wraps about my shoulders, thinly clad.
I shiver not, despite the coolness on my skin.
Comfort, I now feel.
Is it you my precious Angel?
Are you there? I cannot hear your quiet voice,
But bird song fills the air From high treetops to grassy marsh.
I wonder – is it you, Dear? Are you there?
The roses in your garden bloom large,
And varied in hue from crimson deep, to barely pink.
I cup the velvet bud, its fragrance soothes a troubled mind.
This must be you, my precious Angel. Are you there?
Are you the fiery autumn maples,
Or the star-like flakes of snow?
Are you the sparkle in the water of the lake that we both loved,
Or, perhaps, the warmth I feel in the sand beneath my toes?
Though your quiet voice I cannot hear,
Nor can I see again your sparkling eyes,
Or feel your dainty hand laid gently on my own,
You are here.
For memory's book will never close –
Each lovely sound, or sight, or scent,
Another page from special times that we have shared.
Oh, yes! You are here child – everywhere!
ALL MY LOVE XOXO
