animated presentation of the words "Never Again!"

My Silent Heart Cries

My silent heart cries
My soul yearns
But I hear you in the gentle breeze
Your passing through the swaying trees
I feel your kiss
My heart rejoices
Peace fills my aching soul
Walk with me into eternity
Whole, as one.

Dedicated to Jemma Lee

Patricia & Guy Chatwood

Dear Parents & Families,

Yesterday I carried my daughter Jemma's coffin to her grave, it was the first and last time that I have held her.

I felt the same way yesterday as I did twenty-four years ago when she died. I didn't want to let her go.

Today I feel such deep sadness but I know that she is whole. I feel that we are both at peace.

I would like to thank you for the support you have given me, especially Alice Proctor and Pauline O'Hare who have spent ages on the phone to me.

Your newsletter brings me relevant information and the wonderful poems make me cry. Please keep sending them to me.

I wish I lived nearer to you all so I could join the support group and help with events, I am with you in heart and spirit. I will also be at Liverpool Cathedral on 10th November.

Please dedicate this poem to my beloved Daughter, Jemma Lee.

Take care and God Bless.
Patricia Chatwood.
