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
Happy Valentine's Day xx
For Joseph & Lilias...

I've listened to the footprints poem
a million times or more
of how when only one set shows
upon the sandy shore
it's the lord carrying us
and taking on our load
and his are the only set
of footprints that showed
But what if when we look
there are no footprints to be found?
all we see is plain and simple
sand upon the ground
no imprints showing that our lord
is carrying us through life
helping us when we feel
we can not handle all this strife
Where is my lord now that i've fallen
and can't seem to get back up?
so tired and lonely
trying to deal with what seems
an overflowing cup
where are those footprints
in the sand
to tell me he's right there?
helping me with problems
and showing that he really does care
Does he have favourites, OH NO
please tell me that's not so
but why does life seem easier
for some people that I know?
and sometimes I just scream out loud
although it seems in vain
but often gets harder each day
to deal with all this pain
And then it dawned on me
as I realize how simple could it be
I wonder why I was so blind
that I truly did not see
it must have been a lightening bolt
that one day gave me light
because out of the clear blue sky
I finally regained my sight
I saw a fluffy white cloud
shaped like an angel dear
that helped me to understand
and see things oh so clear
that's when I saw no footprints
and so often wondered why
my lord carried me on angel wings
when he decided to fly.

ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
♥ღ♥
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥

Angel Of My Own
I’m happy as can be,
An Angel watches over me.
Keeping me safe each day,
Guiding me all the way.
I know I’m really special,
Loved by my Guardian Angel.
As Angel wings unfold,
My riches aren’t of gold.
Sprinkled with the Angel dust,
So I believe and trust.
I’ll never walk alone,
I’ve an Angel of my own!
xx
Hugs from Heaven....
Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.
