Thomas Furbisher
Born in Halifax on February 16, 1992. Died on February 12, 2008. Aged 15.
Our darling boy passed away suddenly, yet peacefully, in his sleep while on holiday in Bamburgh, Northumberland.
He had not been ill - simply his usual, happy, healthy self. We had spent the previous day walking along Bamburgh beach, playing in the water fountains at Alnwick Castle gardens and he went to bed happy and tired after watching his faviourite video, Mary Poppins.
When we found him the next morning we first thought him fast asleep. He was four days short of his 16th birthday.
We scattered his ashes at Flamborough Head while the sea crashed around us and the sky was filled with larks.
An analogy the minister used at the funeral described Thomas as a star - a bright mass of energy, attraction and light - with us being satellites in orbit around him. And that's how it was.
Thomas was a beautiful, handsome, smiley young man who captured the heart of anyone who met him. His joy was our joy and we were blessed to have known him.
He was our little angel, our Tomble, our Tombo. He was our little man. xx
Beautiful Thomas, your mummy has told me so much about you and how you lit and still do light up her life. Between you both you have brought me such strength in the darkest of days recently.
I am certain that my beautifult baby girl, Charlotte Grace, will have been found by you, just like I have ben found by your mummy, and together we will each survive a live on.
Each rainbow I see and each Cherry Blossom that falls reminds me of our angels, and there cannot be athing but a smile at that thought.
I promise to always give a cuddle to your mummy, please give Charlotte a cuddle from me.
With so much love xxxxx
We are blest to have known him
Thomas was so innocent, pure and happy. he had a positive effect on anyone's life he ever touched. We are truly best to have known him.
On Thomas's first anniversary 12/02/2009. We are thinking of you Nicola, John, Ian and Jennifer. All our Love Vivian, Rolf, Alexanda, Lynn, Robert, Heather Paul and Luke.
I am so so sorry I really am...
Fly free Thomas with my little son louis xx

Haven't known what to write on here for so long, no short paragraph can sum up such a special little boy. I am filled with so many happy, smiley memories of Thomas and will never forget the fun Jack and I had with him. His smile, his presence and his ability to fill all around him with happiness are indescribable. Love you and miss you more and more each day. Me and Jack are looking after Mummy and John for you RIP xxx

Thomas - a happy & handsome young man with a smile like sunshine, a secret chuckle & eyes that knew the secrets of the universe. Tombo - bookworm, music lover & noise-maker; you loved being out & about & could spot a cafe at 50 paces! To walk with you was our joy. The gap you have left in all our lives is vast - we love you and miss you always.

A rose...
A rose once grew where all could see, sheltered beside a garden wall.
And, as the days passed swiftly by, it spread its branches, straight and tall.
One day, a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide -
The rose bent gently towards its warmth, then passed beyond to the other side.
Now, you who deeply feel its loss, be comforted - the rose blooms there
Its beauty even greater now, nurtured by God's own loving care.
Poem for Thomas
Sent to me by a good friend who knows how it feels. Not easy to live by - but we're doing our very best. xx
You can shed tears that he is gone or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he has gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he'd want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Dearest family....
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said - I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too,
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
Then you can say to God at night - My day was not in vain.
And now I am contented, that my life has been worthwhile,
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go, from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going, you're coming here to me.
There are angels in the heavens
there are angels on the ground
there are angels all around you
just waiting to be found...
So when you're feeling lonely
or just a little blue
open your eyes to see the angels
they are there waiting for you...
Don't forget about these angels
during all of your good times too
for they like to share your happiness
and the joys that come to you...
They will wrap their wings around you
to protect and guide you through
all the sad and tragic moments
that this life can throw at you...
They are sent to you from heaven
from our father up above
so remember to look for the angels
they'll show you all gods love...
