Christopher David Shatwell (Our Chris) was born on 31st May 1982 at 09.16am at Trafford General
Hospital. The much loved and wanted son of Sue and Steve Shatwell. Chris was a beautiful baby
with blond hair and lovely brown eyes. He was adored by everyone and his Nana Jean Carr treated him
like her own son she always said I couldnt love him more if I had given birth to him myself, they
had a very special relationship. When Chris was 2 and a half along came his sister and best friend
Becki they too were very close. His Mum and Dad split up when Becki was very young and they both
remarried Sue to Tony and Steve to Sandra.
When Chris was 7 he was diagnosed as suffering from Petis Mals, a form of epilepsy, this never
affected his life and he was never treated any different to Becki.
Chris went to St Anns school in Stretford until his parents split up then he went to St Hugh of
Lincoln then to St Antonys Secondary School
Chris was a really good footballer and played from the age of 7 for local teams, Stretford Victoria,
Urmston Meadowside, Urmston Town and then just before he died Flixton F C.
On the day Chris died 2nd January 2001 it was just a normal day, I (his Mum) was working and Chris
was not back in until 3rd January, Becki was off school so was with him all day. I arrived home
from work and started the tea and Becki said Chris was upstairs so I went to see what he wanted for
tea I opened the door and as soon as I saw the angle he was lay I knew he was dead it was awful the
shock I felt I could not describe to anyone, his step dad tried to revive him whilst I and Becki
looked on and could do nothing, when the Paramedics arrived they tried for over half an hour to
revive him then rushed him to Trafford General where every available Doctor and Nurse tried to
revive him. Sadly that wasnt to be, Doctors and Nurses were crying when they had to stop.
We drove from the hospital in a daze and all I could remember was everyones Christmas tree lights
twinkling.
Telling his family friends and work colleagues was so hard no one could believe it he, spoke to his
friend Neil about 10 minutes before he died saying he would call round for him.
Chris had to have a post mortem and the cause of death was asphyxiation (just stopped breathing) his
consultant at the hospital told us it was the Vegal Nerve in his brain that had just switched off
and stopped his major organs from working.
His funeral was attended by many the church was packed and people were standing at the back it was
so full, we didnt realise how popular he was.
Chris\'s Nana Jean collapsed on 2nd January 2007 at the same time I found Chris on 2nd January 2001,
sadly she never recovered and died on 15th January 2007, I hope they are together and looking down
and protecting us all.
Please light a candle for Chris a lovely Son, Stepson, Grandson, Brother, Nephew,Cousin and loyal
friend who has left a family devastated.
I would like to thank everyone who has supported me and my family over the last 7 years, family,
friends, work colleagues and new found friends on this site, It has been very hard at times but
there is no worse pain than losing your child and this site makes you realise we are not alone there
are hundreds of us Mums & Dads who are hurting and missing our children

❁ Heaven and Earth ❁
♥When the warmth of the sun touches my face,
♥I see your smile and feel your embrace.
♥I hear the whisper of love in the wind
♥And I know that you are close to me again.
♥The rain speaks of tears, the thunder of pain,
♥But soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim.
♥As the days come and go and the world moves on,
♥I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.
♥On the night the Angel came and took your hand,
♥We cried as you left for an unknown land.
♥But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight.
♥For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!

♥ I Promise ♥
(Author Unknown)
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.
I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years
But I need another day.
I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife
I'll face it straight and true.
I promise I will endeavour
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
♥
I'm missing you so much..
My heart is broke in two
I feel all alone and lonely..
So what am I to do?
I think of you every second..
And every minute of the day
I've never been the same..
Since the day you passed away
I know you are in my memory..
And I will remember you with love
But please come home my Angel..
My Angel up above
You shine bright first thing..
In the morning
You shine bright..
Last thing at night
'Oh why did God take you first..?
'Cos that was just not right
You should be here with your family..
Who love you very much
So please my precious Angel..
Always stay in touch

Message
When the child you have cherished is taken,
when the light of that promise is gone,
when the faith which sustained you is shaken,
and your days stumble painfully on,
When the sorrows of loss are unending
and your God seems forever away,
find the message your lost-one keeps sending:
words of loving and thanking and mending...
let your child shape the peace of your day.
♥

I'M SURE I HEARD IT WHISPER

FOR FRIDAY
Love Lives On
Those we love
Are never really lost to us –
We feel them
In so many special ways-
Through friends
They always cared about
And dreams they left behind,
In beauty that they added to our days...
In words of wisdom we still carry with us
And memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

FOR SATURDAY
If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved ones arms
and tell them they're from me.
Tell them I love and miss them,
And when they turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for a while.
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
Still With Us
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.

DON'T SAY GOODBYE TO ME NOT YET
Each day that passed, the more I knew,
About the way our family grew,
And now, that you have passed away,
I find I miss you more each day.
Those special chats, our cries, our laughs
Cannot remain just in the past,
And now, each day that comes is new,
So, when I smile, I think of you.
Our friendship was for many years,
But now, my eyes are ful of tears,
And I know, up there, you're crying too,
For we both wish I was there with you.
I miss your laugh, and I miss your smile,
My friend, I'll miss you for a while,
But soon, we'll be together again,
Because nothing can stop us from being friends.
Each time I cry, I cry for you,
(Though, I know you wouldn't want me to),
And I know, deep down, in my heart of hearts,
That we're just 'on hold'. We'll never part
♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.*• ♥
A candlelight glows in memory,
Of the love we still hold.
A life that touched so many,
Treasured gifts as memories unfold.
Our eyes well up with tears,
As we try to be strong.
Yet throughout our remaining years,
For their love we will long.
If we could just remember,
The Lord reaches out His hand.
He'll walk with us forever-
Help our hearts to understand.
Trusting Him to take our sorrow,
Faith He will see us through.
Will guide us towards tomorrow,
Filled with His blessings too.
So honor your precious loved one,
With the candlelight a glow.
Knowing your healing has begun,
As your teardrops gently flow.

Along life’s road are SMILESTONES
They light the way folk go
Who put one there to light my way
Only MY ANGEL could know.
When I see it shining,
Life’s load seems easier to bear
I thank God for the SMILESTONE
MY ANGEL placed it there
