In our virtues,
In our homes,
In our lives."

Plot E54
On the night of 1st January 2002 James passed away. His brave battle against a malignant brain tumour lasted 14 months.
He never stoped to fight for his life and his dreams, remaining courageous and determined until the end.
James has been an inspiration, a source of happiness, energy and strength to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
He was always the best at everything he tried whether it was school, sports or making somebody laugh. His incredible enthusiasm was the essence of magic and mystery that surrounded James and made him enjoy life to the fullest.
In his short life he proved to be a hero, full of love and compassion.
His shining brown eyes, his laughter and his strong spirit will be greatly missed by all the people whose lives he touched.
James wanted to create this website as a thank you for the love and support, which he received throughout his fight against the brain tumour. Sadly he was not able to complete the site.
Based on his ideas and notes we will fill these pages for him in recognition of all the love and happiness, which he gave to the people around him. Anyone who would like to contribute is welcome to contact us.
James, you will never be forgotten!
"When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not here 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 so many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me, too.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
It seems almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought just for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart."
