Dear Roseanne Saying nothing speaks volumes. God bless you at this time. Margaret

Hi Roseanne, I am so so sorry. I just burst into tears for you. There are no words I can think of to comfort you except to say what lovely memories you will have of your lovely son. I have suffered bereavement of a super husband but I am sure it does not compare to losing a child. God must have a special purpose for him. And I am sure it will not help now but it will get easier I promise you. It is the suddenness of it all that is so hard to take in, even for me and I didn't even know him. You have a lot of friends on here and I am sure you can take comfort knowing we are with you at this time. And I give you lots of hugs ((xxx)) From Sandra

Dear Roseanne I would like to say how sorry I am about your son. I lost my seven year old nearly five years ago from a bacteria infection. Not a day goes by when I don't think about him. I don't cry so much now as there are just no tears left. I miss him terribly but I have learnt to cope with the pain better now.For the first two years I would cry in the street, in the supermarket everywhere - just becasue you don't cry or because you go back to work or have a laugh with friends doesn't mean you have forgotton them but life has to go on. Please have a look at www.tcf.org. uk and look at meeting place - it really does help. I found many of friends were obviously shallow and dumped me within 6 months then a few more a year on. I have two close friends and my Mum and Dad and my work colleagues and that is all I need. I have three other children who are also suffering. I always used to think that when people visited me in the early days it was like going to a gym for them. You dread going, it's hard work when you are there but you feel good for having been!! Lots of love Lauretta

Dear Roseanne, My heart goes out to you and your family. I have 2 children myself and cannot begin to contemplate how I would feel if anything should happen to them. My youngest battled cancer when she was 18 moths old and all the parents found it a real help to talk as much as possible, so you keep talking and remembering the good times. Please accept the warmest wishes of myself and my family, we are all thinking of you. Rebecca x

Dear Roseanne, I was overseas for a few weeks over Dec/Jan and have just seen your message now. I have been so moved by the beautiful messages and poems and also reading the other tragic stories from our friends out there. My thoughts are with you at this tragic time. I just cannot imagine what your pain must be like. What can I say that has not already been said. You will get through this, just take one day at a time. You need to celebrate Callum's life. I also have wonderful 17 year old son who I adore and cannot imagine life without him. We are all here if we can do anything to help ease your pain. Much Love Margaret

Hi Roseanne How are you bearing up today? Can you let me have your email address so that Irene can contact you herself please. Thanks and keep going Pat

Roseanne, My heart goes out to you, my son was killed in a car crash some years ago, and I think I know just how you feel.The ache in your heart is unbareable and you think why him. But talk about him as much as you can, and talk to him, he is still near you. My son left behind a 2yr old little girl who is now a teenager, and my greatest joy is to chat with her about her dad and answer questions and look at photo"s, this helps to keep him with us. God bless you in your time of great sorrow. Email me if you feel you would like to chat. It is often easier to talk to a stranger and it does help to talk. Gill

i have lost 3 very special people to me in the last 3 years, i have questioned the divine with no reply. All i know hunni is god wants his angels back and it is our loss. To have had them for a short while they say is better than not having them at all.....not sure . sad to say. but i know they are in a better place than we are and looking after us.Ilost mum aged 57yrs dad and my 24yr old sis in law a great friend. They say time is a great healer thats rubbish...you just learn to live your life without them but they are always in you heart and your thoughts god bless you and yours the pain will ease over time.god bless sharon ricksonx

Just a note to say this is the first time I have ever read this notice board and like everyone else, my heart goes out to you and your family. I have an 12 year old son whom I adore, and could never ever imagine life without him. They say time heals everything, but as long as he is in your heart he will never ever go away. God bless you all at this sad time. From Stephanie Symmonds, Stockport

Dear Roseanne & family I know i have already left 1 message for you but i just had to tell you i have been on the cobra web page and the poetry page and i am totally amazed how talented your son was there were so many messages of comfort to you and your family and the ones which stuck out most were the beautifull words said by charlotte and his best friend jay, how very loved is your son not only by family but people everywhere he was most definately a very very talented young man and his poems !! well no words could ever describe how much thought and feelings went into them few words. i hope you and your family get through this sad time and remember you will always have your sons smiling face etched in your memories for a very long time and after looking at his photo on cobra what a lovely smile he has xxx

Thank you Pat Yes I would like to speak to Irene can you please email direct Kind regards Roseanne

Hi Roseanne I saw your message and posted a reply about my friend Irene losing her lovely daughter Helen last January. She is still distraught. Do you want to talk to her? I know she would want to talk to you. She is still searching for a reason for it all. You will need your friends and support in the future. My thoughts are with you. If you want to contact Irene let me know here. Pat

Roseanne God bless you at this time, I am so terribly sorry to hear this beautiful young man has been taken from you - my own sons being 17 and 4 .I can only marvel at the blossoming of a young life but to have him die so suddenly I grieve for you.We will pray you all. Mary

These wonderful emails are still coming through - Thank you. Over 400 people attended my son's funeral and New Year's Eve people where phoning and i was receiving emails all night to say they were thinking of my beautiful son. I really cannot believe why people have to go through so much pain and suffering and why my son's life, when he never hurt anybody and had so much going for him had only sixteen years. I have been thinking that all that studying was a waste of time but people have told me this is what he enjoyed and made him into the wonderful person he was/is. Never take life for granted! I never in a million years thought my child would go before me. Cherish everyday At my son's funeral (still hard to mention) he was awarded a black belt for his kick boxing because his instructor knew that he would achieve it this year. Thank you Andy Morrell! There are so many lovely people out there who have help me through this last 17 days. Thank you for this and making me strong enough to stay and look after my other two children. I know without any doubt this is what Callum would have wanted. Thank you everyone Roseanne

Roseanne, As a single mother of an 11yr old son, I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. My thoughts and heart are with you for now and forever. Andrea - South Wales

Roseanne and family I just wanted to say that my son turned 17 today and i have been thinking of you all. So much so that i decided to try again at the website you gave for your sons martial arts page. I had tried, in vain, to see it before with no luck. Today i was able to view not only the photo of your lovely boy but also the messages left by the people who knew and loved him, i havent been so touched by something in a long while. If my son grows into half the young man your son was i will be happy. Yvette

Roseanne, I was so sorry to hear your terrible news. At the moment no words will be able to help but please take some comfort from the fact that you are in the hearts of all the mothers,fathers,brothers and sisters that read your message. Your son was obviously a lovely young man and will have made a massive impact on the lives of people he met . I lost my mum suddenly 5 years ago but I am now so aware that she lives on. I communicate with my mum all the time in my thoughts and heart and I know that she is still with me although I can no longer see her. Keep talking to your son in your heart and he will always be with you . Julie

Oh Roseanne, just logged onto this site and saw your terrible news. My thoughts are with you. Looked at the web site - he is so beautiful. My youngest son is 18 and I know that at that age their life is just starting and so very exciting for their dreams. My best friend lost her daughter just one year ago. It doesn't get any easier but she is learning to cope. Go for counselling - she says it helps, and keep talking to him. He won't be far away. Take care, remember the good times. Pat

dearest roseanne i have read everyones letters to you and your family and just wanted you to know that i am thinking of you at this very sad time i hope in time your pain will heal and your memories become brighter. callum sounds an absolutely delightfull young man with so much talent which im sure will shine on for a very long time. although the pain may seem unbearable now in time you will say or hear his name and remember him with so much pride and you will quietly say to yourself :THATS MY BOY: once again my deepest sympathy to you with love lisa x and a message to callum huges -- sleep tight with the angels x

I saw this message and had to include my sad message also.Today i was told about a young couple whom are friends of a young girl who we know,the young girl is in a critical state,and in Addenbrookes hospital,in Cambridge,and the young lad is in Hinchinbrooke hospital,also very poorly.She dances,....carried one hundred yards,by a drink driver.Life is so precious,lets all thank god ,for good family and the closeness we can share with our friends.
