Karen Jane Michelle Hadaway, died on the 9th of October 1986.
She was taken away from us at just nine years old "MURDERED".
She lived on the moulscoombe estate in Brighton with her parents, including her older brother Darren
and younger sister Lyndsey.
She was my first daughter, and came into the world on the 21st December 1976, weighing 4lb 2ounces.
She was a lovely contented baby, always happy and smiling, she was no trouble at all.
Being my first daughter, I was over the moon.
Everyone commented on her beauty, although she was tiny she walked and talked at an early age.
She was always interested in what was going on around her, and she always asked lots of questions
and came out with funny things, she was so comical.
Her little face when i used to ask her how much she loved me, she would open her arms really wide
and say "i love u this much mummy".
Karen was my pride and joy and my love for her was unconditional. There's never been a day gone by
when she's left my heart, and she never will.
My beautiful daughter Kas.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL MY GTS FRIENDS FOR THE CANDLES, PICS AND TRIBUTES YOU PUT ON MY BEAUTIFUL
DAUGHTER KAS'S SITE. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND MY FAMILY MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. I KNOW THERE
HAVE BEEN TIMES RECENTLY THAT I HAVENT BEEN ON MUCH TO LIGHT CANDLES FOR YOUR ANGELS BUT I WANT TO
ASSURE YOU ALL THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS,
ALSO IF U CAN SPARE A FEW MINUTES TO LIGHT A CANDLE FOR MY HUSBAND LEE HADAWAY, MY MUM MAISIE
JOHNSON AND KAS'S LITTLE FRIEND NICOLA FELLOWS WHO ALL HAVE A SITE ON HERE AS WELL.
MY CHILD KAREN.
On the day god took you
I thought that i would die
I wondered where the time went
I asked alot of whys ???
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort
I couldn't seem to hide
I thought I might be dreaming
that i'd wake and find you here
I thought "this cant be happening"
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again
I wondered if the pain would end
but mostly i wondered when ?
It's hard to be without you Kas
At times the days seem long
Sometimes I just sit crying
When there's really nothing wrong
I wish we'd had more time Kas
Before your life was done
I hope your resting peacefully
My Kas my precious one.
~~~~~~~~~~
KAS.
I asked god for a flower
he gave me a bouquet,
I asked god for a minute
he gave me a day,
I asked god for true love
he gave me that too,
I asked god for an angel
and he gave me you.
~~~~~~
So these seven words
I pray and hold true
forever and always
I will love you ! ! !
~~~~~~~
WE MAY MEASURE OUR ROAD TO WISDOM
BY THE SORROWS WE HAVE UNDERGONE ! ! !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OUR SISTER KAREN.
Our sister Karen was a very beautiful child, she meant the world to all her family and friends.
All our hearts broke the day Karen and our friend Nicola was taken from us "MURDERED" by an evil
monster.
He was later found not guilty of killing not just one child but two children, "lack of evidence they
called it" but we all know in our hearts and souls they died at that monsters hands.
That was 21 years ago now, and still no justice for our innocent angels. They will never be at rest
just like us, untill this poor excuse of a man is brought to justice.
We will never give up the fight untill this monster is punished for his Crimes.
I couldn't stand the thought of ever breathing the same air as that monster if he was released from
prison, it makes me feel sick to my stomach.
I feel that the verdict the jury gave of Not Guilty was totally wrong, because he has been locked up
now for 17 yrs, for trying to take the life of another innocent child, after being found not guilty
of killing Karen and Nikki, but thank god she survived his evil attack, to identify him as the evil
monster who tried to take her life.
Her evidence later got him convicted for his sick crime.
If he had been put away the first time, that poor child would not of had to go through what she did
but that's "BRITISH JUSTICE" for you.
My dad heard about the death of his daughter over the radio, as he was in Manchester at the time,
what a shock to his system.
The next day he had to go and identify his daughter, at the mortuary.
He went in there the man we loved and knew, and came out a stranger.
He was never the same again.
My dad died 9 years ago he was a broken man with a broken heart.
My poor mum who was 7 months pregnant at the time, was in the park when the girls were found dead,
she was brought home and had to be heavily sedated.
Our families world fell apart that day, never to be the same again.
I miss u both so very much and always will, untill i take my last breath. The thing that keeps me
strong, is knowing we will see each other again one day, untill then my angels sleep tight with dad
(Lee) and nanny Maisie.
Remembering u always, forgetting u never.
With luv from your sisters and brothers
Lyndsey, Kimberley, Darren & Rikki.
God Bless.xxxx

you left without a last goodbye;
And all we could do was sit and cry;
Tears they fall like pouring rain;
our hearts are broken and so in much pain,
♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥
we longed to go back to yesterday;
To show we love you some other way;
But now we know we must go on;
For we cant get back now what is gone.
♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥

Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles Might Not Be Lit Until Monday Next Week It's My Birthday On Saturday So I Will Be Missing Christopher Even More Than Usual... Bless Him X
Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again.
I crash on rocks of anger;
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything just right.
There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
Our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

♥ â™° ♥ I heard your voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face;
the warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.
I felt your touch in the sky today
as its warmth filled the sky;
I closed my eyes for your embrace
and my spirit soared high.
I saw your eyes in the window pane
as I watched the falling rain;
it seemed as each raindrop fell
it quickly said your name.
I held you close in my heart today
it made me feel complete;
you may have died...
but you are not gone
you will always be a part of me.
♥ â™° ♥ ♥ â™° ♥ ♥ â™° ♥ ♥ â™° ♥ ♥ â™° ♥
I hope you all have a enjoyable day
take care with love as always linda.xxx

Sending you a great big hug ,

Friends are like flowers
Each unique in their own way
Put them all together
What a wonderful bouquet
Some are really brilliant
Full of light sharp and clear
While others are more subdued
To both you can adhere
You are a flower in my garden
That makes up my bouquet
My friends you all make
A very impressive display.
love as always Alison xxxxxxxxxxx
This Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Lit Again As Usual On Sunday For Monday
Message from Heaven
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
I still share your hopes
And all of your cares
I'll even remind you
To please say your prayers
I just want to tell you
You still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
Above the crowd
Keep trying each moment
To stay in his grace
I came here before you
To help set your place
You don't have to be
Perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue to climb
To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way
As I am now beside Jesus
In the heaven’s above
Please take care of each other
I send you my love
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Memories and little prayers,
We all are mourning you,
But we’ll celebrate the short life you led;
We will never forget you.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
We love you so, I love you so,
But now we say goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.
It was your time, so as we cry,
Go forward that extra mile,
You did what you were sent to do,
You made everybody smile.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
“The Best”
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
The moment that you died
My heart was torn in two,
One side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
But missing you is heartache
That never goes away.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
We miss you in so many ways,
We miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
