This Memorial is intended as a tribute to a young woman of tremendous courage and fortitude,who,in
her short life,distinguished herself as a true friend, a loving and caring daughter and sister,and
a person with an extraordinary sensitivity to the need of others.
In her early years Angela was unremarkable to those outside her family,a quiet girl ,but possessing
those mischievous qualities that hallmark a potenially lively spirit.With hindsight it is clear that
even at an early age Angela displayed clear signs of the loyal ,loving and caring individual that
endeared her to to all those fortunate to know her in her future years.
At school Angela was not a great achiever academically,but soon began to weave her own particular
brand of magic upon those around her ,infecting others with her joy for life,her kindness and her
genuine desire to put the needs of others before her own.Her love for drama and dance emerged at an
early age,regularly to be seen in school stage productions.
Video footage of school drama activities and subsequent professional activity provide wonderful
memories of a person totally submerged in her performances ,her energy,and effort inspiring her
peers and mesmerising her audience.
Inevitably,Angela became head girl in her final year at school.A timeless testimony to her
popularity,hard work and devotion to school activities came soon after her death in the form of a
school award 'the Angela Scott prize`which is now awarded each year to the pupil who has made
outstanding contributions to school life .
Success in further education was to follow, at 20 years of age Angela qualified with distinction in
business and leisure studies, recieving a special award for her contribution to college life. It is
with great pride that her famil;y remember the awards ceremony and the resonse of the audience to
Angela' achievements.
And so began the arduous and unrewarding trail to stardom that Angela so desperately wanted to
achieve, holiday camps, pantomime tours and brief appearances in television series, was all hard
work, away from home with little money, but she enjoyed every minute of it. Regular cantact with her
family was important to Angela. She often drove through the night to be with her family for a few
hours between shows. Her parents and brother were extremely important to her, she looked forward to
a close relationship with her brother in the future, hoping to recreate the close bonds that she
experienced as she grew up.
Throughout all the hard work and busy schedules Angela always found time for her friends and those
who were close to her. A frequent comment still made about Angela is 'she was always there for me.
Nothing was to much trouble, her loyalty was unwavering.
In the midst of a busy life and great hopes for the future, the ultimate test of a human being was
thrust upon Angela. At 24 years old she had acquired a cancer in her left breast, this cancer was
malignant and was soon to spread to her liver. Shortly after diagnosis her breast was removed and
she began a series of chemotherapy treatments.
Instead of ths profound event deflating and overcoming Angela, the traits that had characterised her
life and so endeared her to others, became even more prominent. Her life was in tatters, she could
no longer do the things she loved, her once shapely body was now mutilated by surgery and drugs, she
was dependent upon others to provide her basic and personal needs, and she was in constant pain. Yet
she was more concerned about her family and friends and their future. Of course there were tears of
sadness and frustration, but she bore her pain with a quiet dignity, rarely complaining, displaing a
resolve and determination to survive against all the odds. Insisting to be referred for homeopathic
and complimentary therapies when conventional medicine had ceased to have any influence on the
progressive and pervasive nature of her illness.
Angelas' attitude and tenacity overwhelmed many people, that one so young could display such
fortitude and resilience was, in the words of her surgeon, 'an example to us all'. Angela was not
stupid, despite the efforts of her family to reassure her she new full well what the eventual
outcome would be.
Angela died two years after the initial diagnosis, two months before her death she took a holiday in
the Canary Islands with an old and trusted friend. Upon return she spoke of having wanted to stay
away, she new that to return home was to die.
Angelas' quality of life during her illness would have appeared to the observer as horrendous, many
were the occasions that her docters and nurses would come down from her room wiping tears from their
eyes, appalled by the nature of her illness and overwhelmed by Angelas' courage.
Angela would lay in her bed and say 'what will happen to my beautiful things Mum?' She wrote in her
diary regularly, she left a letter saying which of her few possessions should be given away and to
whom. She chose the hymns to be sung at her funeral.
Angelas' room is the same today as the day she left, a constant reminder of the beautiful and
courageous girl whose only real demand on life was that she could live it for a reasonable time,
something that most of us take for granted.
Angelas' grave in the small village clost to her family home is regularly visited by those who new
her and loved her, and especially her mother, father and brother and latterly her brothers sons who
she will never come to know.
It is beyond the scope of any language, however eloquently employed, to adequatley describe the
feelings and emotions experienced by Angela during her illness, and by those who loved her after her
death. This short account can only provide the reader with the mearest glimpse of a tapeatry of
events which will remain forever in the hearts and minds of those who were closest to this
remarkable women.
Written by her brokenhearted Dad.
`I miss you Angela,and love you so much.
My heart is broken;I will never get over
losing you.
Forgive me, my little love,my little baby,forgive me`.
Your heartbroken Mum.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ~♥x♥~ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ~♥x♥~ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ~♥x♥~ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ~♥x♥~ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
The time has come for me to release you
Free to fly high above this world.
Where the flowers forever bloom &
The ultimate love fills the space.
In my attempt to try to keep you
I've only been able to hold the anger
Not realizing that I have to let you go
I can't hold on.
I'll no more keep your pain alive,
I won't try to hold you down.
I'll let you fly on to higher ground.
My grief has left a numbness,
as if this isn't real
You are in my heart forever,
but I know I have to let you be free.
Soar high.
Laugh as a child that feels the joy of the moment.
Play among the rivers flowing through the hills.
Roam the fields of daisies.
Fly to the top of the mountains.
With closed eyes, I see you among the flowers,
High above the clouds.
Your presence blows through me with the breeze.
Your smile beams down on through the sun.
The full moon brings the light of your laughter to my mind.
And the Butterfly in all its splendour reminds me
of your beauty and freedom now.
Leaving your love for me lingering in my world.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ~♥x♥~ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ~♥x♥~ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ~♥x♥~ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ~♥x♥~ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Always watching over us as we go our way,
Never taking their eyes from us a minute of the day,
Guardians who are here to keep us from all harm
Each time we face danger, darkness, or alarm,
Looking out for us through each trial we face,
Sent straight from heaven, by His mercy, love, and grace.

Sat alone day dreaming
A smile upon my face
Lost in beautiful memories
The warmth of your embrace
Everyday theres something
That brings you back to mind
The special love you gave me
Now impossible to find
Why did you have to leave me ?
Why did we have part?
Now all i have are memories
And a broken heart
LOVE ALWAYS VICKY XXXX

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.
Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November
FOR MONDAY
The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
FOR TUESDAY
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
FOR WEDNESDAY
A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.
FOR THURSDAY
Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.
FOR FRIDAY
The Watcher
They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.
Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.
Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
FOR SATURDAY
As We Look Back
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
FOR SUNDAY
To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart
I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear
Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Our Reunion in Heaven Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
We weren't prepared that day,
When God called you away.
So many tears we cried,
Longing to keep you at our side.
How we loved and missed you so,
And weren't ready to let you go,
But it gives us comfort to know,
Within the twinkling of our eyes,
You entered into paradise.
A place with beauty beyond measure,
Eternal happiness and treasure,
Where you have no more pain or tears,
Nor sorrow, worries, and fears.
Although, for now, we are apart,
Your precious memories live in our heart,
Until God calls us each to heaven's door,
Where we'll be reunited, forever more
