Joseph McKeown
Born on the 3rd of June 1977 killed in a road traffic accident on the 13.11.1998
age 21years old
Kings park
Joseph was the eldest son of Lillias. He was such a smart little boy at school .He went to Arden
primary then Kings park Primary and secondary. He excelled in playing the violin.His teacher said
he was very gifted in playing the violin and in mathematics.Needless to say he gave up the violin as
soon as he heard of Karate then David, Brett and Joseph were going to become the next Bruce Lee's.
He travelled round the world with his gran and stayed in austalia for a few months getting to know
all his aussie relatives. When Joseph came back he had grown so much, he had turned into a young
man.
Joseph was a member of the Boys Brigade for many years.I will take this oppertunity to thank them
all for turning up at Josephs funeral and singing the hymn Sure and Steadfast I thank them so
much.

we all went to Sea mill every year on holiday and Butlins where Joseph seemed to have a good time
but we didnt realise how good it turned out for him he met Jennie. Jennii went on to take up the
next couple of years of Josephs life. Jenniis step (father David)and Joseph opened up their own
busieness. Joseph and Jenni had been so happy in the beginning, but also so young It phased itself
out and Joseph came back to live with us. Now Im so glad he did We got time with Joseph before he
was taken from us .
Joseph ran marathons for charity and ran almost every night in the rain hail or snow. The one night
he wasnt out running. he went out with his friends to spend his first wage from his new job, and
never got back. Josephs friends tell me he said goodnight see you all up at the dancing Friday night
and that was not to be. Joseph died after midnight Thur/Fri. No charges were brought against the
driver.

Joseph was a true big brother always looking out for all his siblings
his Brothers David,thomas,Calumn and the late Christopher Thompson
also his 3 Sisters Amanda,Heather and Lillias
Joseph life was taken away so suddenly, that we were absolutely devastated,A family in shock . A
little part of each and every one of us went with him that day

We will love you forever Joseph

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothign to it

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye


REST IN ETERNAL PEACE OUR ANGELS

♥═══♥ Tears.♥═══♥

♥═══♥
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.
♥═══♥
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
♥═══♥
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.
♥═══♥
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.
♥═══♥
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
♥═══♥
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.

If luck was a raindrop
I'd send you a shower,
If hope is a minute
I'd send you an hour,

If happiness is a leaf
I'd give you a tree,
And if you need a friend
You will always have me.

This morning when I wakened
And saw the sun above,
I Softly said, “Good Morning Lord,
...Bless everyone I love!”
Right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer
That He would bless you specially
And keep you free from care!
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store;
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more!
I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow---
I know God heard my prayer for you
---He hears them all you know!

We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.

I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.

I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.

I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.

I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.

So smile when you think of me
And wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.

I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home.

YOU CANNOT MEND A BROKEN HEART......

LOVE IS SO DEEP TENDER AND PURE
FOR A BROKEN HEART THERE IS NO CURE
NO-ONE CAN MEND IT NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY
I WILL NEVER STOP UNTIL THE DAY I DIE

FOR A BROKEN HEART IS THE END OF LOVE FOR ME
I CANNOT GIVE MY LOVE TO ANYONE ONE ELSE FOR FREE
I CANNOT PRETEND TO ANYONE AT ALL
NOT UNTIL I HEAR MY ANGELS CALL

THEN AT LAST I WILL BE FREE FROM PAIN
FREE TO SHOW MY LOVE ONCE AGAIN
FOR THIS BROKEN HEART CAN NEVER HEAL
I CANNOT HELP OR STOP THE WAY I FEEL.......

If heaven had a phone

I Cannot dial your Number,
I Can't get through to You,
I Called the Operator,
She did all that she could Do.

There is no code for Heaven,
I Cannot place the Call,
No Numbers left to Call,
I Reckon I've tried them All.

If Heaven had a Phone,
I'd Ring you Every Day,
If Heaven had a Phone,
There's things I want to Say.

To Tell you that I love You,
And Miss you Every Day,
How much I prayed to God,
That He could have let you Stay,
but heaven dont have a phone,
so in our hearts you will always stay.
lots of love samuel,theresa,stephen,pauline xxx

♥ Are there birthdays up in heaven
does an angel blow his horn
announcing to all the angels
this is the day you were born ♥

♥ Can the stars be your balloons
and angel food your cake
presents wrapped in moonbeams
all the angels helped to make ♥

♥ So I’ll whisper a little prayer today
asking everyone up above
to sing you a happy birthday song
and give you all our love ♥

TOGETHER WE'LL WALK THE STEPPING STONES:
by Barb Williams, of Ft. Wayne, Indiana


Come, take my hand, the road is long. We must travel by stepping stones.
No, you're not alone; I'll go with you.
I know the road well, I've been there.
Don't fear the darkness, I'll be there with you.

We must take one step at a time,
But remember we may have to stop awhile.
It is a long way to the other side
And there may be obstacles.

We have many stones to cross; some are bigger than others.
Shock, denial and anger to start,
then comes guilt, despair and loneliness.
It's a hard road to travel, but it must be done.
It's the only way to reach the other side.

Come, slip your hand in mine.
What? Oh, yes, it's strong. I've held so many hands
like yours. Yes, mine was one time small and weak like yours.
Once, you see, I had to take someone's hand in order
to take the first step.

Oops! You've stumbled. Go on, one step at a time.
There's no need to hurry.
Say, it's nice to hear you laugh. Yes, I agree,
The memories you shared are good.
Look, we're halfway there now; I can see the other side.
It looks so warm and sunny.
Oh, have you noticed we're nearing the last stone
and you're standing alone?
We've reached the other side.
