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

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.

LOVE ALWAYS ROSIE XXXX

A GUARDIAN ANGEL

Flew down from above,
To teach me a lesson
About the powers of love.
She whispers to me,
Take a hold of my hand,
There are so many things
I wish you to understand.
About the powers of love,
And all it can do,
To someone who needs
To share it with you.
A pat on the back,
A kind smile on your face,
Can make someone's life,
A much brighter place.
It doesn't take much,
To show someone you care,
To give them the love,
God gave you to share.
So please keep in mind,
All the powers you possess,
To grace someone's life,
When they're in distress.
You've been put on this earth
To bestow the powers of love,
And with those final words,
She disappeared up above.

As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.

These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.

Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even though we are far apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in our hearts.

This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near

Love to our Angel & all their loved ones xxxxx

THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS

God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of 'little things'
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think he knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish...lasting. ..true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With CHERISHED FRIENDS....like you.

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.

If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.

If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.

If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.



As New Year approaches
It seems harder this time of year
We miss you so much more
The only thing that gets us through
Are the memories of before
So here's a card just for you
To show how much we care
I know your waiting with the angels
One day I'll see you there.


Thoughts Today Memories Forever

Each year I resolve with the strongest intent
To be better this year than the last.
And I work very hard; the rules hardly get bent,
But this discipline gets old so fast!


But with this new year I just know I’ll win out,
Just watch how I do and you’ll see!
I’m not going to have yet another blowout;
I’ll be good as I know I can be.


But, if wicked things beckon, and I’m not so strong,
If I weaken and fall on my ast,
I’ll be thankful again that you’ll help me along
As you have during all new years past.


I’m so grateful that you’re my (gts friend)! Happy New Year!

Thinking Of You Always

You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived

You can close yor eyes and pray the he will come back
Or you can open you eyes and see all that he has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember him and only that he's gone
Or you can cherish his memory an let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on!

Until you meet again
