Rebecca Mary, our precious beautiful butterfly was the eldest of three and our only girl.She was so full of life, always laughing and seeing the funny side to most situations.She was not only beautiful outside,but more importantly inside too.
She worked in the music business as does her partner Doug. Becca went to live with Doug in Moseley, Birmingham (where she sadly and so suddenly died) but always remained a london girl at heart.She was also very proud of her Irish roots and my lovely parents, who helped to bring her up..She was a lovely step-dancer as a child and won medals.
Rebecca was just 33 when she died suddenly and our nightmare began. How could someone so full of life and so caring be taken...just like that!! We never got the chance to say goodbye. We know now how ill she was, but she didn't want to worry us.Becca was lucky to have travelled all over the world. She worked for Bjork for a long time. Also UB40, Janes Addiction, Amplifier,Iron Maiden and others. Many of her friends and colleagues came to the funeral.Some flew in from the US and had to fly back out the same day to their respective tours and we thank those kind people from the bottom of our hearts and indeed everyone who so kindly came to pay their respects. Becca's great friends
Siobhan,Catherine,Rosemary, Melissa, Ian ,Amanda, Tracey, Moira and Debbie to name but a few.Thank you also for the hundreds of cards, flowers and the donations to the NSPCC, a charity which was close to Rebecca's heart. She saw many children in poverty when travelling around the world, which made her more aware of the suffering of innocent children in this country.
Bjork dedicated a song to Rebecca when she heard the awful news. She was in concert at Radio City,New york and was too upset to attend her own after show party. Which coincidentally we were in New York when poor Doug had to call us with the news that every parent dreads and thinks will never happen to them.
Bjork phoned me and we spoke as one mum to another for over an hour.She wanted to explain why she didn't attend the funeral many of her staff and crew represented her there, including Derek the owner of the record company and his lovely wife Sue. Rebecca was very fond of them both. Also Rosemary Bjork's PA whom Rebecca was very close to as well. Bjork told me that she doesn't do funerals since attending her grandfather's when she was young. We have met up again since. She is a lovely warm person who deserves only the very best from life.She was a very good friend to our girl.Rebecca started out as nanny to Bjork's son Sindri, who became the child she never had, as they had a very strong bond and remained close.Rebecca eventually ended up working on the production side and was a Tour Manager for a short time.
We were so very, very lucky to have had her if only for a short time, our lives are the richer for having our very own "Little Princess" No one will ever take your place. We all love and miss you so very much my precious girl.I know you are watching over us, especially Michael and Mark and of course Doug and his loving family. I know you are with your beloved grandparents (Mary & Pierce Powers originally from Castletown Bere & Eyeries, Bantry Co.Cork Eire) who adored you and vice versa. Look after each other my precious baby girl till we meet again in a better place.Our lives will never be the same without you precious child.We miss you more every day that we are without you Becks. All our love always xxxxx
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everybody from the bottom of our hearts, for all the love and support shown to us and our precious Rebecca on this wonderful website. If you are reading this we sincerely hope our mutual support will help you to cope with the loss of your loved ones.
Thank you all so very much with love from, Anna & Denis (Rebecca's very proud parents) Michael & Mark (her loving brothers) and Fiance Doug (her soulmate) & Families xxxxx
Missing You!
We missed you so much again this Xmas. It can never be the same without you my precious beautiful girl. How can someone so full of life and fun be taken from us so suddenly. Life is indeed very cruel at times.
Loving you and missing you every day we are without you precious child.
Mum, Dad, Michael & Mark xxxxx

Dear All,
I will not be doing my tributes next weekend as it would have been Christopher’s 34th Birthday on Friday 20th May & his 7th Angel Day On Sunday 22nd May so it will be a difficult weekend for us as a Family
Tributes For Week Commencing 16th May ‘11
....(* " " *)…Special Angels
....( ='o'= )……In
....-(,,)-(,,)-……..Heaven Above
Monday
Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal
Tuesday
Don't be sad-
I am in a snowflake,
I am in the rays of sun,
I am in the sparkling of stars
Wednesday
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
Thursday
Although your darling Son
Was with you just a while
He'll live on in your heart
With a sweet remembered smile
Friday
Garden of Eden
Over some exotic rainbow
Through forest wild and free
Live my darling Angel
Beside some coconut tree.
The beaches are sands of gold
With palm trees lined around
There my darling Angel
Dwells safe and sound.
The sun always shines
It survives just by love
In this garden of Eden
My true love dwells above.
Copyright� Sharon Wheeler.
Saturday
It's a Time of Heartfelt Sadness
It's a time of heartfelt sadness
When a loved one passes on
But know your loved one lives in joy
And peace where they have gone
Oh how much they will be missed
That's where the sadness lies
But others who have missed them
Now rejoice in Heaven's skies
We know one day we'll join them
Because our time on earth will flee
We'll then live with them forever
Throughout all eternity
--By Ron Tranmer ---
Sunday
Time will Ease The Hurt
The sadness of the present days
Is locked and set in time.
And moving to the future
Is a slow and painful climb.
But all the feelings that are now
So vivid and so real
Can't hold their fresh intensity
As time begins to heal.
No wound so deep will ever go
Entirely away;
Yet every hurt becomes
A little less from day to day.
Nothing can erase the painful
Imprints on your mind;
But there are softer memories
That time will let you find.
Though your heart won't let the sadness
Simply slide away,
The echoes will diminish
Even though memories stay.

Its not a place you can get to by boat or a train...
Its far far away...
Behind the moon...
Beyond the rain...
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high...
Theres a land that I heard of ...
Once in a lullaby.
Just Like the twister in the Wizard of OZ
The nightmare came and tore my world apart...
So this long and lonely journey called grief
...has left me with a broken heart.
Dorothys journey continued over the rainbow...
So has my childs...just a little past beyond...
The Wizard of Oz and grief have so much in common...
And so the story and my journey continue on...
Somedays this journey seems long and winding
Just like the Yellow Brick Road,
Sometimes I feel I have lost my way...
And feel like I'm carrying such a heavy load.
Just Like Dorothy met the Scarecrow...the Cowardly Lion..
and the Tin Man... as she went along her way...
I too have met many compassionate people along my way..
But I have also lost just as many who shyed away.
Just like the Scarecrow wanted a brain...
I think I could use a bigger one too...
To hold my memories of sweet yesterdays...
And remember everything she used to do.
Just like the Tin Man wanted a heart...
I think I could use a new one too...
As mine is broken in a million pieces...
Somedays I just dont know what to do.
Like the Cowardly Lion who wanted some courage
I too want some courage....to help me climb this hill...
To help me keep moving through this world of grief
When the whole world seems to be standing still.
When the poppy flowers made Dorothy tired...
The Scarecrow was going to pull her along...
I too need friends to be by my side...
To listen and help me be strong.
If only this story was true
And my child could click her shoes three times or four..
And say theres no place like home...
And she would be back in my arms once more.
If only I could also wake up from this bad dream
And go back in time...
And have my child here once more...
And leave this thing called grief behind.
But since life is not a fairy tale...
And my wishes cannot come true,
We will remember her and all that she was
My beautiful child...I will always love you.
Yes, my child is somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high...
In a place that I heard of...
Once in a lullaby

The Reaper and the flowers
There is a Reaper, whose name is Death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall I have naught that is fair?" saith he;
"Have naught but the bearded grain?
Though the breath of these flowers is sweet to me,
I will give them all back again."
He gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes,
He kissed their drooping leaves;
It was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
"My Lord has need of these flowerets gay,"
The Reaper said, and smiled;
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once a child.
"They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear."
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again
In the fields of light above.
O, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
'T was an angel visited the green earth,
And took the flowers away.
Poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
