I have already displayed a tribute I wrote for my Moms memorial service we held on 25th June 2005 (found in Angels Corner) but at the time I had no pictures on my PC due to me loosing my hard drive a lil while ago. Well I have a picture now and as soon as I can scan some more I will add to this.
So in memory of the most important woman in my life, the one who gave me life and so much more I dedicate this space to you. Without you I would not be here to create my space, without you I would not be able to share the things I know with all of these people, without you mom I simply would not exsist.
Love you always - Your Lil Angel
July 02 Luther Vandross
In memory of The Grammy Award winner Luther Vandross who died Friday July 1st aged 54.
It is always sad to hear of people passing away especially someone so talented and gifted as Luther Vandross. I remember growing up as a lil Angel listenin to his songs and thinking about girls and how I was in love.
His music was and will always be an inspiration to many of us to keep your dreams of love and happiness alive.

 June 27 Tribute to ma mom'sIt has been a year since ma beautiful mom's passed away so on Saturday 25th June we held a memorial service in remembrance of the most important women in ma life.
The day went really well and we tried to keep it happy cos that is the way ma mom's is and how I best remember her. Here is the tribute I wrote and read at the service thought I'd share it with you all.
Hey Mum, How you doing?
Has it been a year already?
To say you are missed has to be an understatement mom. You touched so many people's lives in your time here and even now you continue to touch us all.
It has been so hard trying to adjust to the fact that you are gone and although I know you are always here with me I miss being able to see your smiling face and feel your loving touch, a touch that only a mother can give.
Everytime I think about you I still hear your voice and it brings a tear to my eye. I've cried at night, I've cried during the day and no matter how many times I tell everyone I am ok I am not, how can I be? You are no longer here mom and I miss you so much it hurts. Half of me is missing and there is no way to replace it.
I have to dig deep, I know this and I really try mom. I remember you always smiling and that keeps me going, I remember your love and how it makes me feel and that keeps me breathing. I remember how you dealt with the time that you were unwell, so composed, so sweet, so calm. You did everything to stop us from worrying about you, you made it so easy for us just like you had done with everything in our lives. Always putting others before you, that is you mom through and through.
You are truly amazing and I don't want this to be a sad day because we all know you have gone to a better place, a place the rest of us can only hope of going to when the time is right.
When I feel the warm rays from the sun I know you are looking down on me and smiling, when the rain comes down I know you are sad because you miss us as much as we miss you.
We will be together again mom this I am sure of and when that time comes the half of me that is missing will once again be complete and I will become whole again. For now you have left me with my two brothers and my sister and as I'm sure you know they cover your shifts.
They are the only ones I know that feel exactly the way I do and understand exactly how I feel, they have too because we all share you as our mom and they really do make all the difference. As long as the four of us and all of your family and friends keep you in their hearts and thoughts you will always be here mom and again that keeps me smiling.
I love you mom and miss you more than any of these words can really describe.
Your son Andrew x
