Linda Young.
Left us suddenly on the 26th September 2007. Loving mother to Kerri, Gary, Nikki, Jack, Laura and
Nicola. Grandmother to Kayla, Keiran and Lewis. Step mother to Heather, Sandy and Danny. Partner of
Nicky Booth for 15 years. She is greatly missed every day by evryone.
Born and raised in Scotland. Moved to Newcastle in 1993 where she made many friends, and extended
family. She'd been through a hell of a lot in her short life and was a courageous woman for coming
through it all. I for one am very proud of her.
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same,
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And although we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
MAM (Poem wrote by my Dad)
When it hurts us to look back,
We’re too scared to look ahead,
We can always look beside ourselves,
And we know you will be there,
Through times of pleasure,
Through times of pain,
During walks in the sunshine,
During walks in the rain,
And even though we’re no together,
And for a time apart,
We know were never alone Mam,
You’re always in out hearts,
There will be a million times we miss you,
We already do,
But we smile when we think of you,
And crazy things you’d do,
There’s many words we’d like to say,
But have just chose a few,
The greatest ones we saved to last,
Mam we love you!
Miss you loads mam, hope your looking after us all!

I Miss You.
Mam. I feel awful that i don't come on here every single day and write to you! It's weird, i find it hard to do this now. I used to be fine, i think it's just the fact this is the only way of letting you know what's going on in my life! I hate it. I wish you could be here. So much. I know you are with me everyday. And also with everyone else. But i just wish you were here in person. Well alot has changed since i last spoke to you! I'm living with Gary now. Just to help him with bills and stuff. Not really been working though so i'm looking for my own place again! Found the ideal flat over Longbenton. Fingers crossed it's still there come pay day. Wooden flooring all the way through and it's really nicely decorated. Would be the perfect little place. It's on same street as Vicky too, which would be nice! She's due the little one in about 4 weeks now! Mad isn't it. We were just talking the other day about you. I know she'd love you to be here to see her baby! You'd make a massive fuss. And treat him as if he was your own Grandson. Don't worry though, i know for a fact he'll know who you are. I'm very happy at the moment and i hope i'll stay this way for a long time. Can't believe the change in me over the past year. I have a FAB boyfriend. Seriously he is amazing. You'd love him I know you would. Actually, no. I know you do! You's would get on like a house on fire! His name's Jamie. We spoke like the whole time i was away in Scotland and then finally got together when i got home! Took a while but it was worth the wait. I love him so much. It's crazy, i've thought i've been in love before but this is so different. I really hope we stay together forever! Cheesy i know but i do. So if there's anyway you can help up there! Please do :)We went to Scotland for Halloween and he met our Heather and the gang! They all love him. Had a fab time too. I love work too. Work with a lovely bunch of people. At Laura's at the min. Should see the kids! Kayla is so grown up. She's like a little old woman! And Lewis is just a cheeky little sod. Both gorgeous though. Such a shame you aren't here to watch them grow up. To watch them all grow up! :( Gary's still the same. Love him but could he's a pain at times. He has a new girlfriend too, she's lovely. Called Becky :) They seem to be all loved up too. And she's calmed him down a bit which is good. Nicola's still with Anth, they're living down in Howdon at the moment, but think they'll be moving soon! Keiran is getting big too. Little loving thing he is. Kinda okay with Dad now too. So getting to see Jack and Nikki again which is nice. I'm so glad things are sorted. I've been to see Nana a few times too. She still looks so young! Bless her. I know you're a massive miss to her. As you are to everyone. My head is alot better now. I just hate the fact you aren't here. Would do absolutely anything to have you here. Even just for one day, one hour even :( I know i will see you again one day though and that is what keeps me going totally. I love you Mam. With all my heart and i will never, ever forget. Please look after us all. We all love and miss you so much. There's so much you're going to miss in all of our lives even though you'll be there in your own special way it just won't ever be the same. I won't be, nor will my life be the same again. LOVE YOU MILLIONS. ALWAYS xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello you :)

Well everything here is fine and dandy you'll be glad to hear...just been living quietly!
I've started my driving...again! Hopfully this time i'll pass my test...means i can drive to Newcastle and visit the rest of the fsmily. Have said to Gary that i'll be there for his birthday :D can't wait to see them. Kerri's probably told you already but she's got a new job....i'm so chuffed for her!
I was away in Ullapool at the weekend with Nikki (her mum manages a hotel there) it was awesome! We were all talking about things on Friday night and i got a wee bit upset :( thinking about you! I know you wouldn't want that but it's hard sometimes. I miss you loads!

There'sNothingIWantMoreThanToSeeYouAgain
Hey Mam. Sorry i've not left you a message in a while, i just find it hard to do! It's horrible that this is the only way i can tell you what's going on in my life! Yiu should be here to see it all, or at least here so i can say it to your face :( It goes without saying but i love and miss you so much, more than any words could ever say. Words couldn't even describe the hurt i'm going through at the minute. I still can't believe you're not here. I'm never going to see you again, never going to be able to kiss or cuddle you, i want to be able to do mother/daughter things - go shopping etc. I can't believe your not going to be here when i have children, get married etc. I think it's the major things in life when it will hit me.
Well where to start with what's beem happening - i'm talking to Gary, Nikki and Jack again :) and Dad too. Which i'm so pleased about. I really thought i would never speak to them again! Gary's getting there, he lost his job and left home - and been through a bit of a bad time. There was an incident lately which led to me sitting in Rake Lane for 20hours! But he's okay now. We'll get sorted soon! Nikki's getting so grown up, we seem to be getting on well again! Jack's still the same, addicted to his computer games! He's getting so tall now. Nearly taller than me. He's alot nicer to me now! I even get cuddles. Lucky me eh. He's doing really well at football,you should see all his trophys now. I know you'd be so proud.
Nicola, Keiran and Anth live here now! They live in Hodwon, just opposite Lotties club! Archer Street. Crazy or what! Keiran's getting so big now. He can say my name too. Laura and Paul are still in the same flat. Kayla is getting so grown up it's scary - a cheeky wee thing mind! Like Nikki was. Lewis is a little chunky monster :) Iggle Piggle we call him. I just know you'd be spoiling them all rotten if you were here! :(

Mammy
It's me again, haven't stopped thinking about you all day today, and it's showed i've been taking it out on laurie :/. it's weird i think it's finally starting to sink in that i'm never going to see you, be to cuddle, or kiss you ever agian :(. Everytime i hear one of your songs i just break down :/ i'm listening to them now smiling but upset at the same time :( it's werid i come on here as its the only way i can talk to you :( i close my eyes to try and picture you but the only thing i can see is you liing in the coffin you looked so peacefull :( i just wanted to shake you and for you to wake up and it would all be alright :'( theres so many things i wished we could of done together :(, it's starting to get to me more and more these days that your not here cause i haven't got much of my family left, and i thought you would be the one person who would always be there for me no matter what! i know we had daft little arguments i remember you chasing me up the stairs with a slipper look what you've done to me man mam :'( i can't even write a sentence with out my eyes filling up i can hardly see the keyboard. i know i keep reapeating stuff i've already said but i don't really know what to say, nothing at all i say will bring you back will it :'(i try to think of all the good times we had but everytime i go to my mind just goes blank, every now and then i'll remember something, i just want to hear your voice one last time even if it's you shouting at me! i really would give anything for it! i can't think of anything more to say now but ill come back on tomorrow mam i love you, just wish you where still here all my love gary xxxxxxxxxx
Mam
I can't really express the pain that i feel each and everyday knowing that i'm never going to seee your smiling face again. i wake up each and every morning and stuggle to get up and get on with things i miss the stupid things you'd do like always embarrass me in front of my friends ha :'(. I always took you for granted mam and im sorry i really am, if i could go back and take every bad thing i done back i would! I'm part of the fact that this terrible thing has happend. I remember everyday coming in from school there would always be four sweets on the fireplace with out fail, i remember you coming to my football matches and cheering me on like the loony you where no other mother can come close to you, you where the best mam i could ask for. I remember the last day i saw you, it was at jacks football match, you seemed fine had a laugh with you :( i remember seeing you walking towards the car and i was going to shout and ask you to stay but i didn't :'( instead i shouted ill see you later mam i love you. Never got to see you again though did i :'( we had so many good times mam lots has happened to me recently :/ some good some bad i lost my apprenticeship wich you never knew i had, i moved out of home cause of it :/ but i have the most amazing girlfriend ever i just know you would love her! I'm talking to kerri now:) we are getting closer again :), i don't really know what to say to you just that i can't put into words how much i miss you, i love you to peices i'd give anything for one more day with you mam. I'm sitting here in tears as i write this, remembering silly little things we done together there what make me go one. The only way i can here your voice is by ringing your mobile :/ i don't have no pictures or nothing you hated getting your photo taken :( Why did you have to leave us? Jack always says goodnight mam love you, at bed time it just broke my heart everytime i heard him say it, I'm going to start writing on here more often just to tell you how im doing and everything, and i'm sorry i aint wrote anything in a while doesn't mean i don't think about you!, I can't think of anything else to say for now mam, but ill pop you a few lines later on or something i love you ! Gary xxxxxxxxx
