13TH SEPTEMBER 09 UPDATE.................
THE CASE HAS BEEN RE-OPENED AND OFFICERS INVOLVED ARE TO BE DISCIPLINED, JUSTICE AT LAST????? WE
HOPE SO!!!!!!!!
"HUGE" THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR KIND MESSAGES LEFT TODAY 3-3-09.. OUR GAVIN'S 26th BIRTHDAY
XX
This tribute is to my brother GAVIN WILLIAMS, also known to locals as Gav Tattoo for his talent.
Gav was only 24yrs old when he was taken away and is the third brother/son our family has lost.
He lived in Glanrhyd Nr Ystradgynlais Swansea and had many friends and family who will and do miss
him greatly!!!
My Mum has lost her baby boy. Stuart (dad) a cherished step-son.
My Brother Anthony, Sister Catherine and I have lost a talented, funny and characteristic much loved
Brother.
His nephews and nieces loved him to bits, he was so loving towards them all.
Tara Stewart & family have lost their 'Cuz' they all loved spending time with, and Stewart has lost
his Tattoo Partner.
Mandy Ken & family lost their little pest!!
There are so many touched by Gav's loss it's too much to list so i'll let them all know to place
their own comments!!!!
***P.S. Thank you to Ystradgynlais contact group!!!!!!***
We still don't know why Gav was taken that tragic day on easter weekend, only the person who left
him for dead knows that, but, hopefully all will come out on the forthcoming inquest, watch this
space!!
GAVIN'S INQUEST WAS FRIDAY 9TH JANUARY 2009, IT WAS AS SUSPECTED AND WORSE, MUM HAS A CIVIL CASE
GOING ON SO WE ARE UNABLE TO PUT EXACT DETAILS ON HERE AT THE MOMENT BUT GAVIN'S ACTUAL CAUSE OF
DEATH WAS COVERED UP BY THE 3RD PARTY INVOLVED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE. HE DID NOT COMMIT
SUICIDE AND COULD NOT HAVE DIED ALONE.
MY MUM HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR OFFERING SUPPORT AND LEAVING LOVELY
MESSAGES ON THIS SITE, IT REALLY DOES HELP MUM THROUGH......THANK YOU XXXXXX

IN LOVING MEMORY OF GAVIN
03RD MARCH '83 - APRIL '07
24YRS OLD
ON THE DAY OUR LORD WAS CRUCIFIED
HE MADE A PROMISE ON THAT DAY,
THAT HE WOULD LIFT OUR SUFFERING
AND TAKE OUR PAIN AWAY.
HE SENDS HIS ANGELS SEARCHING
AND WHEN THEIR FEET HAVE TOUCHED THE GROUND,
THEY CALL TO HIM IN HEAVEN
TO TELL HIM WHO THEY'VE FOUND.
THEY CALLED THE NAME OF GAVIN
FOR HIS HEARTBREAK THEY COULD SEE,
THIS MAN WAS BORN ON THE THIRD OF MARCH
IN THE YEAR OF '83.
OUR DEAR LORD KNEW WHO THIS MAN WAS
HE HAS SEEN THE TEARS HE'S CRIED,
HE WATCHED HIM WHEN HE WAS A CHILD
HOW HE LOVED TO BE OUTSIDE.
HE LOVED TO PLAY WITH TOY CARS
HE LOVED HIS POSTMAN PAT,
ALWAYS CLIMBING UP THE DOORS
SO ON TOP HE ALWAYS SAT.
HE WAS ALWAYS WINDING PEOPLE UP
HE DONE TATOOS FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY,
OUR LORD REMEMBERED WHEN HE LAUGHED
AT JOHN AND AT ANTHONY.
BUT THEN HIS LAUGHTER TURNED TO PAIN
WHEN HIS BROTHERS WENT TO HEAVEN,
ROBERT IN 1996
AND MICKY IN '97.
GOD WENT TO HIM AND HELD HIS HAND
HE ASKED HIM WHAT WAS WRONG,
GAV SAID HE MISSED HIS BROTHERS
AND FELT HE CAN'T GO ON.
GOD SAW SUCH PAIN INSIDE HIM
HE SAW HIS VACANT STARE,
HE KNEW HIS HEART DEEP IN HIS SOUL
WAS BROKE BEYOND REPAIR.
IF I TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN
WHEN YOUR LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN,
YOUR MUM WILL FALL TO PIECES
SHE WILL LOSE ANOTHER SON.
SONIA I AM SO SORRY
I DO HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND,
I CANNOT GO WITHOUT HIM
HE WON'T LET GO OF MY HAND.
HE TOUCHED HIS EYES SO HE WOULD SLEEP
LIKE HE HAS FOR MANY OTHERS,
SO HE CAN TAKE HIM TO HIS HOME
WHERE HE CAN MEET HIS BROTHERS.
LAURA, CATHERINE AND ANTHONY
YOUR BROTHERS WAIT ABOVE,
TO TAKE GAV BENEATH THEIR WINGS
AND SMOTHER HIM WITH LOVE.
THESE WORDS HE SPOKE, I MUST REPEAT;
'DON'T CRY YOUR TIME WILL COME,
STUART NOW I'VE GONE AWAY
PLEASE LOOK AFTER MUM.
TONY YOUR MY NEPHEW
I'M SORRY WE HAD TO PART,
WE BOTH HAVE GOT OUR MEMORIES
WHICH WILL NEVER LEAVE OUR HEART.
MY BROTHER AND MY SISTERS
I WILL LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER,
AND ONE DAY IN THE FUTURE
GOD WILL BRING US BACK TOGETHER.
UNTIL THAT DAY PLEASE BE STRONG
I HAVE GONE THROUGH A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT,
I WILL GIVE YOU A KISS, WHICH YOU CANNOT FEEL
EVERY MORNING AND EVERY NIGHT'
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO VISIT & PAY TRIBUTE ON THIS WEBSITE, IT MEANS SO
MUCH TO OUR FAMILY XX
FOR GAVIN WITH LOVE
You are our special Angel
Up above in Heaven now.
We wish that we could hold you,
If only there was a way how.
You are still our beloved Son.
We keep you in our hearts.
We know someday we'll see you
And we won’t be apart.
But until then we'll think of you
In sunshine or in showers.
We will always keep on loving you,
And you will always be ours.
So take care our darling Gavin
In Heaven up above.
And until the day we see you,
We'll send up all our love.

STILL MISSING YOU
They say that there’s a reason.
They say that time will heal.
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles.
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
so there won't be any doubt.
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back
when we were all together.
The family chain is broken now
but memories live forever.
GOD BLESS

Good afternoon lovely angel!
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
♥♥♥♥♥♥
GOD BLESS
♥♥♥♥♥♥
WITH LOVE FOR GAVIN
If only we could turn back time,
Life once again would be so fine.
Time would pass, you'd still be here,
To have, to hold, to love so dear.
If all the gifts of heaven and earth
Were ours to have, they'd have no worth.
The greatest gift in time and space
Would be to feel your warm embrace.
To have once more the peace we knew,
In the blessed gift of knowing you.
We know that love can't turn back time,
And life again will never be fine.
Time will pass, but you'll still be here,
In memory, held and loved so dear.
XXX
YOU ARE TRULY SPECIAL AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
Broken hearts and shattered dreams,
Life torn apart at its seams.
Hearts and minds in pain and sorrow,
Missing you more, today, tomorrow.
Time can't heal and words won't mend,
The loss we feel at this sad end.
However long 'till we meet again,
You'll be remembered , but until then,
We wait with hope within in our hearts,
We'll be together, no more to part.
LOTS OF LOVE AND HUGS TO A VERY SPECIAL ANGEL

Tributes For This Week Starting 19th October
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MONDAY
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
FOR TUESDAY
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure...
FOR WEDNESDAY
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
FOR THURSDAY
Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.
FOR FRIDAY
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 turn to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...
FOR SATURDAY
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
As you hold me close in memory,
Even though we are apart,
My spirit will live on,
There within your heart .
I am with you always.
When you lean on trusted friends
And their caring hugs enfold you,
Within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.
And beyond the far horizon
When we'll finally be together,
Where love will be eternal
And life will last forever.
I am with you always.
FOR SUNDAY
TRUE LOVE
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet angel, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

Dear Sonia,
I am so sorry to read about the terrible losses you have suffered.I knew Rob when we were younger along with Anthony and Laura. Hope you are keeping well and will say a prayer for you all.
Shaun Dowdeswell
Amsterdam, Netherlands.
This was written by a friend of ours and was given to me for Rebecca.
I hope in some way it brings you a little comfort.
If I should pass before you,
At my graveside do not cry.
Just like the love between us,
My true self will never die.
Do not trail with endless flowers,
What was buried is just a shell.
My Spirit will be free,
In that Summerland I will dwell.
I’ll visit you with the morning sunbeams
That through your curtains sneek,
And just before you wake,
I’ll place a kiss upon your cheek.
I’ll mingle with the raindrops
That run softly down your face,
And feel myself against your skin
Just like we would embrace.
I’ll join in with the laughter
that brightens up your day,
And when you’re feeling sad,
I’ll wipe you tears away.
So if I pass before you,
At my graveside do not cry.
Just like the love between us,
My true self will never die.
MISSING YOU
They say that there’s a reason.
They say that time will heal.
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles.
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
so there won't be any doubt.
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back
when we were all together.
The family chain is broken now
but memories live forever.
GOD BLESS

She also wants him to put "Happy Thanksgiving" under the turkey.
So the guy does it and it comes out looking really good. The woman then instructs him to put a Santa tattoo with "Merry Christmas" up on her left thigh.
So the guy does it and it comes out looking good, too. As the woman is getting dressed to leave, the tattoo artist asks, "If you don't mind, could you tell me why you had me put such unusual tattoos on your thighs?"
She says "I'm sick and tired of my husband complaining all the time that there's nothing good to eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas!"
Merry Christmas Gav.
