gary was a fun lovin person who never took life too seriously. he was a die hard liverpool fan. he
has a wonderful fiance called lisa who he loved with all his heart. he was the best brother anyone
could ask for and the best fiance anyone could ask for, he put all his time into making everyone
happy and helping others. He will be sadly missed by all his family his fiance lisa and everyone
who knew him
rest in peace gary.
your life was cut short gary but you had more love in this world than you can imagine.
gary had so much to live for he had the love and support of all his family, he had one dream to go
and watch his mighty liverpool play at home at anfield. i hope to do this in memory of him and sing
his beloved you'll never walk alone amost a crowd of 50,000 +.
you'll never walk alone
It was saturday the 9th of august, gary had been out with his mates to celebrate one of them going
to england. I got a phonecall at around half ten from his phone and expecting to hear a drunken
gary on the phone i was so shocked when i heard his fiances voice as i knew she had been out with
her mates as well. She told me i had to get my family up to antrim hospital quickly as possible
that gary was ill and she didnt know what was wrong with him, so i said to my dad and while i phoned
my mum he phoned the hospital to see what was going on. When i got off the phone with my mum i seen
my dads face crumple and then i knew it was going to be bad news.
We arrived at the hospital at about eleven and when i got there some of his mates where standing
outside the hospital waiting. i ran straight to lisa and myself lisa my mum dad and their partners
where led into a family room. We were told that he was seriously ill and at this stage they had no
idea what it was but the word cocaine had been mentioned and it was too early too tell if he would
survive or not.
The doctor then led us in to see him but we could only go in pairs i went in with my dad first of
all and the sight i seen scared me to death. Gary was lying on life support machine and because hed
been lying so long before the ambulance arrived he had pressure burns on his chin arms hands knees
and feet. It was then that we were told gary had died twice on the way to hospital but the
ambulance crew had managed to revive him wit a slight heartbeat.
We were then led back into the relatives room and told that there was no beds at antrim intensive
care so he would have to be transferred to the royal victoria hospital in belfast. it took 2 hours
before they managed to get him stable enough to get him on the 20min minute journey.
We followed behind the ambulance and the whole journey just feeling as if it wasnt really happenin
to my brother that it was someone else. WHen we got up to the i.c.u we had to wait bout half an
hour or so before they would let us see him, at this stage i went in with lisa his fiance and the
doctors where working with him and i remember askin the doctor would he survive and next thing i
remember is a buzzing in my ears and weakness in my knees and to this day i still cannot recall what
he said to me.
On the sunday morning my mum said to the nurse we were gonna go home to get changed and come back up
again but was told we could only go home if we could be back in less than half an hour which we
couldnt as it took bout an hour to get home due to road works, so i rang my dad and told him he had
to get up to the royal. he arrived at about 11 and lisa mum arrived at bout 2 so everyone that was
needed was there.
At around 3 that sunday night my mum and dad called everyone into the waiting room and told us gary
was dying, i remember running out and just wanting my granny. then at around 5 we got called into
relatives room yet again by the doctors to tell us that they were taking gary off the medication
that was keeping him sedated, they told us once it had wore off if he woke up there was a chance he
would survive but it was highly unlikely as because he had died twice already his heart was badly
damaged and his brain was severly damaged as well. That night although slight gary started to take
a few short breaths by himself but still he never opened his eyes.
On the mionday morning around 7 - 8 my mum came in and woke us all up and told us that gary had took
a turn for the worse (we had all stayed in the hospital that night) so again the doctors called us
in and basically told us he hadnt really made any response to being took of the medication and that
it was getting to stage were they could do nothing more, i asked him would it be better to turn off
the life support and take away the suffering to which he replied it was getting to that stage as all
his organs where failing. At that stage they let us all in with him it was no longer in 2s only.
At around half 4 i asked my mum could i play a song to him and she agreed i could if the nurses were
ok with it, and they were.
There was myself my mum lisa bernie my mums partner colin my aunt jan colins cousin charlene all sat
round the bedside with gary and i got my phone put on you'll never walk alone and set it under his
pillow not a word was spoke you could just hear us cry for the son brother fiance and friend we knew
we were gonna lose. After the song had been played i kissed his head and had to leave as i felt i
was going into complete meltdown i just ran outside and cryed.
At 6.05 pm my mum came in to tell us gary had passed away, so in a state of shock myslef and my dad
went in and again i kissed him on head and told him i loved him and walked out and down the corrider
sobbing i just wanted to be alone.
It ws the cocaine that had killed gary it seems his friend had found it in his room and says he
bought it a year ago and that gary had took it and he took a seizure. I just hope by use reading
what i have wrote from a sisters side that if you do dabble in drugs maybe not every week maybe just
once in a blue moon and you think that it wont happen to you and that you will be fine i just want
you to look at wat ive wrote about gary noone is invincible please think twice about what you do to
your body.
Gary there in no bond closer than a brother and sisters and still in death that bind cannot be
broken. i know in the past i done things to you and you done things to me but so did every brother
and sister, I saw a video of me n u and in it u said u werent the best brother in the world i just
want you to know you were the best brother in the world u were always there if i needed help or just
needed to talk i love you so so so much. miss u always
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

MUM PLEASE LISTEN
·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:
Mum, please listen to me,
as i take the time to write.
I see parents struggling daily,
Their pain is such a fight...
All of us who've gone
And left the rest of you behind...
We're ok, Mum,i promise
Heaven is beautiful and God is kind.
You used to tell me that one day
God would call and take you home,
you told me you'd make me strong
so i would stand tall when alone.
But thing's happen, Mum
That does not go in our plans,
I wasn't scared Mum,
When God held out his hand.
I didn't want to leave you
I didn't have time to say good-bye,
When the Angels said ''come with us''
There wasn't time to question why.
I've watched you daily, Mum.
It hurts to see you cry
I dont want you to be unhappy'
Just because we didn't get to say good-bye.
Tell others what i'm telling you
So many parents need to know,
That earth was just a layover
We had another place to go.
I know you miss me, Mum
I know your heart was broken in two.
But God really needed me
Because my earthly life was through.
I'm always alongside you...
I smile and touch your hair.
I whisper''Mum, i love you''
You just can't see me there.
I'm the one that gently touches you
On your shoulder when you're sad,
Im happy that you've finally found
God again, and are no longer mad.
Tell the parents, Mum for me
That all of us kids are okay.
God has plans for our lives
When he called us home that day.
I love you, Mum, I always will
And remember i'm not far away
We're going to be together again
When God calls out your name.
·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:
gary lad we had some good times, some bad lol, but always a bit o craic, sorry to here your gone lad, condolences to your parents lad hope to see you again some day
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household world that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Thinking of all Gary's Family our thoughts are with you x x x
.WITH LOVE

one night i dreamed a dream,
i was walking along the beach with my lord,
across the sky flashed scenes from my life,
for each scene,i noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand_
one belonging to me and one to my lord,
when the last scene of life shot before me,
i looked back at the footprints in the sand.
there was only one set of footprints,
i realised that this was at the lowest
and saddest times of my life,
this bothered me, si i questioned the lord
about my dilemma............... 'LORD, you told me when i decided to follow you,
you would walk and talk with me all the way,
but during the most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
i just don't understand why,when i needed you most,
you left me,'
HE WHISPERED,'My precious child,
I LOVE YOU and i will never leave you _
never , ever . during your trials and testings.
when you saw only one set of footprints,
.
