Tributes

  1. Stephen had addictions which I believe were his way of filling a void in his life and relieving the pain he obviously lived with.

    His parents separated when he was only ten years old, and their divorce ended his family forever. The consequences of that reverberated in different ways for the different family members.

    I haven’t seen or spoken to my brother for 30 years. Sadly, I don’t believe we were ever close, and I didn’t approve of his choices.

    Nevertheless, he was my brother and I hope he has found peace.

    THE SCOT WITHIN ME
    Why is it that my heart stirs
    When I hear the bagpipes play?
    Why do I feel Scotland is my home
    When I live so far away?

    Why do I feel a sense of pride
    When I see the Saltire fly?
    Although it may seem strange to you
    Perhaps I can tell you why.

    When you are born of Scottish blood
    Something strange seems to take place
    As if a seed is planted within you
    Which makes you fiercely proud of your race.

    This Scottish patriotism never dies
    And in your soul it always remains
    Because Scotland is as much a part of you
    As the blood flowing through your veins.

  4. I’m so sorry I wasn’t there, noone told me when the funeral was. Best decision I made was to return to Melbourne l will never forget how you helped me lose my fear. After catching the stearing wheel so many times when you’d pass out as we drove..you where the only one left who understood me and I’m proud of how hard you tried to be patient with certain individuals, and hope your happy up there with Luke and my Dad Xx I was there to see the pain no one else did, the truth of it that you hid from those who cared, the pain of every movement you made. You helped me when there was none else, I hope you are planning on haunting me, cos I miss ya Cuz! Jessie
