Kerrie-Ann Powell passed away on October 23rd 2007 aged just 17, following a tragic car accident just one day after passing her driving test, something which she has worked towards for so long. Kerrie was a hairdresser, a passion she had had from a young age. She leaves behind many people who loved her and miss her so much. I am one of those people. I knew Kerrie from when I was in year 8 at school, she was in year 7, and before long we'd sit together on the school bus, and I soon came to learn what a special, beautiful person she was, and I came to trust her more than anyone. I confided in her and she knew how to make everything seem better instantly, whether it was with a hug, a smile or just letting me know she was there. Now she is gone, and my hearts been destroyed. My life has changed so dramatically I can't even explain, and every day I wish it was me and not her. She had so much to give, and that has been taken from us all, and it's not fair. And every day I live with the guilt that in her last few months we only spoke a few times as I was preparing to head to university by working all the hours I could. I love you Kerrie-Ann, and I would give my everything to have you here today.
I found this poem on GTS some time ago, and unfortunately didn't note the author, but if anyone could tell me who it was I will add it immediately. I want to put it here as it sums up all that I feel, but I could not write those feelings myself because my thoughts are just too jumbled:
My world will never be the same, yer there's nothing I can do,
I just try to recall the happy times, the one's I spent with you.
I try to hide my feelings, but sometimes they're clear to see,
Grief is not an illness, it's something that lives with me.
It isn't something I can explain to others, I wouldn't even try,
I sit alone and think of you, and my tears just never run dry.
We are supposed to learn to live with grief, but it isn't easy to do,
When the only person who can stop this pain just happens to be you.
You never thought this would happen, and neither did I,
You're the last person in the world I thought would ever die.
It goes without saying that I love you every day, and miss you so much more,
You were part of my life for so very long, and I part that I adored

hey babe happy birthday sorry didnt leave message yesterday but i had to work forever in my thoughts r.i.p. angel xxxx
Happy Twentieth Birthday Kerrie-Ann
Heya huni, I'm sorry I'm only now writing to you properly, as you know I was in uni all day and then have come home to bring you your presents so I've only just managed to get unpacked. Twenty Kerrie! Bet you'd hate that lol, used to say you was scared of getting old hehe. Only messing beautiful, you're not old at all, infact you're with the angels now so you'll be forever young princess, that's one of the only comforts to me, I know you'd be happy knowing you'll never get wrinkly lol.
Oh Kezzie, I can't believe this is the second birthday we haven't been able to celebrate with you, I think of the things we could be doing to celebrate and it kills me Kez, I just want to have you here with us, then I can be happy and so can everyone else. We all miss you so much sweetie, I really can't explain it, nothings the same, all the happy times aren't as happy as they would be if you was here with us, all the fun times just aren't quite as fun. It's so hard to describe. I don't have the words. I try hard to be happy for you and do the things you'd want me to do but it just never seems right, never seems fair. Anyway, knowing you you'll be up there partying it up with all your new friends, showing them all how it's done. Knowing you you will have got the best selection of presents ever, you was always the one who had the top gadgets and nicest clothes. Bet you've had plenty of drinkies too hehe, nothing new there is there. God I even miss rubbing your back and holding your hair when you were being sick after a few too many, never thought I'd say that one!
Princess I'm sorry but I really don't know what to say. Been thinking about you so much, tried to distract myself with the kittens tonight, they're craaaaazy aren't they, but didn't work for long.
I'm going to have to go sweetheart, so upset. I hope you're having such an amazing time up there though Kerrie, you deserve nothing but the best. I will try to write in a more positive way tomorrow, and will be down to see you too I hope.
Love you so much gorgeous
Forever loved and missed
All my love
Lauren

Two Twinkling Stars ~~~~
I Looked Up To The Sky Last Night
And Saw Two Twinkling Stars,
I Thought About The Distance
Of Jupiter And Mars.
I Thought How Far Was Heaven
Was It Further Than These Two
I Wondered Just How Far It Was
To Gods Garden And To You.
I Know One Day I'll Find Out
Just How Far I'll Need To Travel
I Know That God One Day For Me
This Mystery Will Unravel
Until That Day I'll Miss You
Every Hour That I Live Through
I'll Miss You Till The Day Comes
When I'll Finally Be With You.

Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.
Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.

On your second angelversary. ... with love ♥
Well my darling angel, I can’t believe it’s two years since you went away. It has flown by looking back, yet until recently each day has seemed so long and lonely without you here. Still doesn’t make sense really.
I miss you so very much beautiful, I can’t even put it into words how difficult life has been without being able to see that gorgeous smile, hear that infectious laugh, and mostly look into those blue eyes of yours like you used to make me do whenever you was trying to calm me down and tell me everything would be okay. I would always look away and you’d always grab me and say to look at you while you was talking, always a bossy madam wasn’t you huni, but I wouldn’t have had you any other way. But I’m glad you used to make me because even now when I’m feeling lost and begin to get myself into a state I quite often picture those eyes just looking at me and most of the time I instantly know what it is to do. So although you’re not here anymore, I’ve realised you are still with me, you are still with everyone, can’t believe I ever doubted that you wouldn’t leave us because that isn’t you is it, you always were the most loyal friend I could wish for so why would that be any different.
These last few months things are finally starting to turn round for me Kerrie-Ann, and I know you’ve been with me every step of the way, on all my trips to doctors I know you’ve been there with me, could almost feel your presence if that makes sense, and I know you’ve been encouraging me to do the right thing, to start living again, not to let myself be buried within the grief I was feeling. That isn’t what you’d have wanted sweetie, I know that now, deep down I always knew it, I just couldn’t find the strength to help myself, but I have now angel and I know you will be so proud of me. So thankyou precious.
I still think about you everyday gorgeous, and I promise you that will never change, and although everyone keeps saying I need to let you go, that’s something I know I will never be able to do, but what I can do is keep smiling like I know you’d want, you always hated my tears and I’m trying so hard to hold them in now babes. I’m so glad that I have lots of lovely memories of you, only wish is that I’d had the opportunity to make lots more. Those memories are something I treasure every second of every day, and something I will never lose. It’s so unfair that you had to go my sweets, you should still be physically here with your family and friends, we all love you so much angel, but we will make your memory live on as long as we do Kezzie, we all have part of you with us and are going to do everything we can to make you proud.
I will be down later with your flowers and a few bits and pieces huni, really hope you like them. Hope you get the message in the balloon I’m sending up to you sweetie, I mean every word and I just needed to tell you to make certain that you understand. Well that’s all I’m going to say because I tell you everything else every day, bet you get fed up of me rambling on hehe. Make sure you’re there at your meal tonight Kerrie-Ann, we all need you around to keep us strong, make us laugh when we want to cry. Stay extra close to Steph and Mumi P, though I’m sure you have anyway.
I love you and miss you with all my heart.
Forever young and beautiful my angel
Lots of love
Lauren

well babes 2 years and not a day goes by when you not missed love you loads miss you like crazy sleep well angel xxxxxxxx
Missing You ..... x
Well huni, even though I came and saw you again this morning I thought I would write you a little message on here too cos I'm missing you like crazy.
I was really really happy that you've been looking after your flowers missy moo, they still look beautiful, just like my angel. Burnt my finger lighting your lantern though huni, aren't I silly! Really love coming down and just sitting with you atm sweetie, feel like I can talk to you, just wish I could hear the answers Kezzie, and have a big hug to go with them.
Well as you know it's Stephy's birthday today, I dropped her card and present off after I'd been to see you and she has said it was lovely so I'm happy about that. I hope you've been extra close to her today babe, I'm sure you have been, not that you aren't close enough all the time I'm sure. I try to keep my eye on her for you. She misses you so so much though huni, I know there's no present she could have got today that would've been what she wants most, cos all she wants is her big sis back. She's so so strong though and I know you will be proud of her. I am proud of her too. She's off on hol with all your girlies tonight, hope you're off with them, keep them safe sweetie, you know what they're like. I'm sure you'll be having fun with them won't you ;p
This doesn't get any easier Kerrie, I think you will have seen how much I've been struggling, finding things so hard but I promise I'm not going to give up fighting Kerrie cos I know you'd want me to stay strong, make you proud. And I'm giving it all I've got. Every single day is such a battle and hurts like hell and most days I feel like I can't keep going without you but I always think of the very last thing you said to me princess and I keep going for you. Oh Kezzie I love you so so much. You really did save my life with all you helped me through hun, you was there when noone else was and I couldn't have done it without you, I just hope I can keep fighting this and not let you down sweetheart.
Getting all emotional huni, I just want you to come home. That's all I want in life.
I had best love and leave you for now babes.
Keep shining angel
I love you and miss you more than I can ever say

Kerry if you can hear us,
Remember that we care.
And when we are in tears,
Let us know that you are there,
Let us know your all around us,
Even in the air we breath.
Also on our shoulders,
At the time we need to grieve,
Even When we are sat thinking
And when the wind does blow,
We will whisper that we loved you !
And Never wanted you to go ..
