Sergeant Johnson was taking part in operations to recapture the town of Musa Qaleh in Helmand
Province when an explosive device detonated - suspected to be a mine - resulting in the death of
Sergeant Johnson and inflicting serious injuries to another soldier in the same vehicle.
Sergeant Lee Johnson
Lee Johnson was born on 7 June 1974 in Stockton-on-Tees and started his basic training on 30 July
1990. Upon completion of this he joined the 1st Battalion The Green Howards. He served in Canada,
Germany, Belize and the United Kingdom, and deployed to the following theatres: Northern Ireland 5
times, the former Yugoslavia once and twice to Afghanistan.
Sergeant Johnson joined B Company as a new recruit and served virtually his whole career in that
company. It was fitting that when recently promoted to the rank of sergeant and appointed Platoon
Sergeant, it was in B Company. An accomplished sportsman, he represented the Battalion at boxing
and the Army at Judo.
Sergeant Johnson was serving with 2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment as a member of the
Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team, tasked with training the Afghan National Army, when he died.

I’ll never let my child go even though he died.
He’s with me every minute in the pain I feel inside.
When that dreadful thing happened I thought I might forget
His voice, his shape, his smile, his words – it hasn’t happened yet.
He’s in my every waking thought, in all the tears I’ve cried,
In every step throughout my life I’ll walk with him inside.
So in this constant agony when it hurts too much to bear
It’s just his way of telling me that always he’ll be there.
I used to sit and wonder what I’d done so wrong.
Why does the road ahead of me seem so very long?
I’ve lost so much in this life, "why me dear Lord, I pray...
You took what meant the most to me and I needed him to stay...
I'm not at all trying to question you, for I know you have a plan,
But please just send an angel to help me understand.
I feel so lost and incomplete, as if the heart's gone from my chest.
Never did I imagine, I’d lay my son to rest.
The days go by and people say just what they'd do if they were me.
How can they say such a thing, when they haven’t the slightest clue?
I know their intentions may be meant, not in a harmful way,
But how can someone who's never lost their child, know the pain I feel each day.
I thank you Lord for allowing me the chance to see your love.
For you sent to me an angel who now dwells with you above.
Could you please just take a minute and hold my angel tight,
Tell him that I love him and think of him each night.
I miss him more than words can say and although my heart is gone.
Ask him to watch over me, ‘til you also call me home.
I'll go now Lord and thanks again for hearing this prayer of mine.
I now know I was lucky, ‘cause angels are hard to find.
LOVE MAM XXX
YOU CANNOT MEND A BROKEN HEART......
LOVE IS SO DEEP TENDER AND PURE
FOR A BROKEN HEART THERE IS NO CURE
NO-ONE CAN MEND IT NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY
I WILL NEVER STOP UNTIL THE DAY I DIE
FOR A BROKEN HEART IS THE END OF LOVE FOR ME
I CANNOT GIVE MY LOVE TO ANYONE ONE ELSE FOR FREE
I CANNOT PRETEND TO ANYONE AT ALL
NOT UNTIL I HEAR MY ANGELS CALL
THEN AT LAST I WILL BE FREE FROM PAIN
FREE TO SHOW MY LOVE ONCE AGAIN
FOR THIS BROKEN HEART CAN NEVER HEAL
I CANNOT HELP OR STOP THE WAY I FEEL

Hug Is The Perfect Drug
No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it’s quite relaxable;
It can’t be stolen, won’t pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorate your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!
Your circulation it corrects
Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend… the hug!
And, of course, fully returnable!
♥♫CA♥♫CA♥♫CA♥♫CA♥♫CA♥♫CA♥♫CA♥♫CA♥♫CA♥
I’m sorry you are hurting
But there’s nothing I can do
I’m watching you from up above
I wish you weren’t so blue
If there was anything
That I could do or say
I take away your pain
I’d make it go away
I know you cannot see me
But please be rest assured
I’m by your side every day
And I can hear what you say
I love you too and miss you more
But please do not be sad
I want to see you smile again
I don’t want you to feel bad
You see I know something now
I did not know before
I’m in a place where we will meet
And be together for ever more

♥ A SHINING STAR ♥
When I had to leave you
I didn't go too far
Look up to the Heavens
I’m a Brilliant shining star
May this light show you
As it glistens from above
A very special thank~you
When you lifted me with love
A little star that brightly shines
A star that’s free from pain
Held gently in God's loving arms
Until we meet again
As you go on your journey
Be the best that you can be
And know that God is there for you
As he is here for me
When we miss each other
And what each other near
You shine your light upon the earth
And I'll shine my light up here
So we will always remember
When we seem so far apart
To shine our lights together
With love upon our hearts

If Heaven Had A Phone
I cannot dial your number,
I can't get through to you,
I called the operator,
She did all that she could do.
There is no code for heaven,
I cannot place the call,
No numbers left to call,
I reckon I've tried them all.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
There's things I want to say.
To tell you that I love you,
And miss you every day,
How much I prayed to god,
That he could let you stay.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
I'd hear your voice, know you're okay,
I just want to speak to heaven,
Please do you have a direct line,
Operator says no number,
But your loved one says they're doing fine.

If we could only speak to you,
And hold your loving hand,
No matter what we said or did,
We know you’d understand.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.

THANKS A MILLION!!!!
♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC
The last two weeks have been very difficult
for us as a family, it was Christopher’s
Birthday & Angel Anniversary within 2 days
of each other on the Monday My Father-in-Law celebrated his 81st Birthday sadly on the Tuesday he passed away. The day before what would have been Christopher’s 32nd Birthday
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each
and everyone of you that left messages, candles,
tributes, gifts & photographs on Christopher’s website I read every single one.
You are all truly kind, special, amazing, thoughtful and a wonderful bunch of people that have taken the time to make me feel better when you are all dealing with your own private grief.
Thanks again

I Love And Miss You Son
The golden gates stood open
God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
I love you Son
I miss you Son
I think of you Son
You will always be with me.
Wherever I go,
Whatever I do
My day always
Starts and ends with you.
The hardest thing in life to bear,
Is to want your Son and he's not there.
Sorry Son that I still weep
For you I longed to love and keep.
FOR MONDAY
If I Could Travel Back In Time
If I could travel back in time
For maybe just one day,
To talk to you and laugh with you
Before you went away.
I wonder what you'd think of me
And all the things I've done;
If you'd see the child you knew
In the woman I've become.
The memories I have of you
Are fading now and few.
I walk familiar streets to tread
On pavements you walked too.
We never got to say goodbye
All those years ago,
I was too young to understand
You were too ill, and so...
If I could travel back in time
For maybe just one day,
I'd say these words, "I love you Dad"
Before you went away.

Dear All,
As this is going to be a difficult week for our family I am lighting the candles & tribute for this week today.
I want to make sure all your angels don’t miss out on the candles and tributes I hope you all understand
I will be back on Sunday with Monday’s candle
It would have been Christopher’s Birthday on Wednesday, he was on his way home from having a drink to celebrate his 27th Birthday when the accident happened and sadly he died 2 days later.
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
In our hearts your memory lingers
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear angel
That we do not think of you.

Tribute For The Weekend
I'm sending a dove to heaven
With a parcel on its wings.
Be careful how you open it
It’s full of beautiful things
Inside are a million kisses
Wrapped up in a million hugs
To say how much you mean to us
And send you all our love
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Babies are angels
That fly to earth
Their wings disappear
At the time of there birth
One look in their eye
And we're never the same
They're part of us now
And that part has a name
That part is your heart
And a bond that won’t sever
Our babies are angels
And we love them forever
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
It happens without warning
Time and time again
I go along and join the flow
But still remember when
You were there to share it all
That made it all worth while
The memories keep flooding back
And once again I smile
Then reality returns to me
And once again your gone
If only this little dream I have
Could simply just go on
I try and hide the heartache
But I feel it none the less
These are my words I send to you
I MISS YOU……..
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Just the average family
We didn't ask for more.
Then life was changed completely
With that knock upon our door.
This awful thing had happened
And none of us knew why.
You were never coming back again
And we didn't say goodbye.
Our world just fell to pieces
We cried with disbelief.
We had to stick together
To overcome our grief.
We'll never understand it
It all seems so unfair.
We wish we'd hear that knock again
And see you standing there.

I'm just a little Angel
Sent from up above
To help guide you and protect you
And give you lots of love.

On those days when you feel lonely
Kinda sad and blue
You'll feel my little Angel wings
Tenderly enfolding you.
ჱܓ
I'm just a little Angel
Come down from Heaven above
Who will always and forever
Give you my "Bestest" Angel Hugs.

Lights of Love
Can you see our candles
Burning in the night?
Lights of love we send you
Rays of purest white
Children we remember
Though missing from our sight
In honour and remembrance
We light candles in the night
All across the big blue marble
Spinning out in space
Can you see the candles burning
From this human place?
Oh, angels gone before us
Who taught us perfect love
This night the world lights candles
That you may see them from above
Tonight the globe is lit by love
Of those who know great sorrow,
But as we remember our yesterdays
Let's light one candle for tomorrow
