Michelle and Leeroy have created this memorial website in the memory of our beautiful and loving
son, Chad Lee Irving who was born in Haslingden, Rossendale on 3rd March 1989 and devastately taken
from us on 4th March 2006 at the age of 17.

Our hope is that this website will be visited often to serve as a celebration of his short life and
reflect all of the lives he touched in one way or the other, how much he was loved, cared for and is
missed by so many!

To say we will remember him forever is an understatement. He was and still is such a big part of our
lives just as he had a big personality and outlook on life.
‘We all love you so, so much, you are so precious to us; our hearts have snapped into 1,000
pieces and more.

‘You lit up our lives each and every day.

‘We are all so proud of you for what you achieved in the so very short time you were with us.

‘One day those of us who have been left behind will see your light once again and then we will be
together once more, but until that day arrives, rest in peace.’


We wander to your graveside,
And place each flower with care,
For the Son and Brother we love so dearly,
Is peacefully sleeping there.
If memories keep us together,
Then we are never far apart,
From early morn to silent night,
You're always in our hearts.

In words of wisdom we still carry with us
And memories that never will be gone...

Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

If Roses Grow in Heaven

If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved ones arms
and tell them they're from me.

Tell them I love and miss them,
And when they turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for a while.

Because remembering them is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

FOR SUNDAY

Still With Us

Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.

TRIBUTES FOR THE WEEKEND.

I have a heart full of memories
That's all I have left of you
Each one treasured fondly
With all the things
We used to do.

I have a beautiful angel
In heaven high above
A beautiful beautiful angel
I was blessed to love xx

DON'T SAY GOODBYE TO ME NOT YET

Each day that passed, the more I knew,
About the way our family grew,
And now, that you have passed away,
I find I miss you more each day.
Those special chats, our cries, our laughs
Cannot remain just in the past,
And now, each day that comes is new,
So, when I smile, I think of you.
Our friendship was for many years,
But now, my eyes are ful of tears,
And I know, up there, you're crying too,
For we both wish I was there with you.
I miss your laugh, and I miss your smile,
My friend, I'll miss you for a while,
But soon, we'll be together again,
Because nothing can stop us from being friends.
Each time I cry, I cry for you,
(Though, I know you wouldn't want me to),
And I know, deep down, in my heart of hearts,
That we're just 'on hold'. We'll never part

♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.*• ♥


A candlelight glows in memory,
Of the love we still hold.
A life that touched so many,
Treasured gifts as memories unfold.
Our eyes well up with tears,
As we try to be strong.
Yet throughout our remaining years,
For their love we will long.
If we could just remember,
The Lord reaches out His hand.
He'll walk with us forever-
Help our hearts to understand.
Trusting Him to take our sorrow,
Faith He will see us through.
Will guide us towards tomorrow,
Filled with His blessings too.
So honor your precious loved one,
With the candlelight a glow.
Knowing your healing has begun,
As your teardrops gently flow.

Tributes For This Weekend

FOR FRIDAY 28TH AUGUST

Good Bye

I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.

Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”

So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.

But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.

You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.

FOR SATURDAY

If I Had One Last Day


If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied

I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay

You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"

Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"

If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart

If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.

FOR SUNDAY


Letter From Heaven For My Family........


When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there 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 the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed 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,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye 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.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.

our chad

Fold your arms around him Lord,
Kiss his smiling face,
For he is someone special that no-one can replace.
You left so suddenly darling chad,
All we could do was cry,
But the saddest part of all,
Was that we didn't say goodbye.
To us you are someone special,
Someone kind and true,
You will never be forgotten,
For we think the world of you

Rachael Wilde (Family Friend) August 23, 2009

miss you sweetheart

No matter where I go
I'll always find you there
Because your in my heart
Of this I'm quite aware

We breath the same air
We walk under the same moon
The sun shines on both of us
We dance to the same tune

Whether we are together
Or are far apart
When you see the stars shining
Remember your in my heart

I feel a warmth around me
Like your presence is so near
And I close my eyes to visulise
Your face when you were here

I endure the times we spent together
And they are locked inside my heart
For as long as I have those memories
We will never be apart

Even though we cannot speak no more
My voice is always there
Because every night before I sleep
I have you in my prayer

Love you loads Chad
Love from Aunty Debs xxxxxxxxxxx

FOR MONDAY 24TH AUGUST

We can't have old days back,
When we were all together,
But secret tears and loving thoughts,
Will be with us forever.

FOR TUESDAY

If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true,
We'd ask with all our hearts,
For yesterday and you.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Just a thought of sweet remembrance,
Just a memory, sad and true;
Just the love and sweet devotion,
Of the one who thinks of you.

FOR THURSDAY

No hand so soft and gentle
No heart so tender, true
No sorrow life could bring us
To equal losing you.

Tributes For This Weekend

FOR FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST


Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.

Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again,

I crash on rocks of anger,
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need

Are loving hands to hold me
When waters are to swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.

Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past,
By swimming in Hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR SATURDAY

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me


When I'm gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
Don't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you love.
You can only guess how much that
You gave me in happiness.
I thank you for your love you each have shown.

But it is time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for me, grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comfort by trust.
It's only for a little while we must part.

So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I'll come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.

If you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home!"


♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥


FOR SUNDAY

Tears

Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.

When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.

In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.

If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.

Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.

Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.
