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

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

A FOUR LEAF CLOVER
A four leaf clover
A treasure priceless and rare
Like my child in heaven above
Now in gods tender loving care.
Each leaf a meaning a part of my grief
One leaf for strength
One for memories so dear
One leaf for peace
And one for my faith in god above.
Each represents a part of my life
My child in heaven
Forever missed and forever loved.
The first leaf on the clover
Stands for strength
To make it through the day
From morning to night darkness to light
With gods help each step of the way.
The second leaf on the clover
Stands for peace
That only god can bring
A peace that restores my mourning heart
Smoothes the edges of pain
And help me learn to live again.
The third leaf on the clover
Stands for memories
That I hold dear
Their spirit will shine on
In the memories left behind
Although time may pass
They will never disappear.
The fourth leaf on the clover
Stands for faith in god above
Believing with all my heart
In what I cannot see
Knowing we will meet again
By the golden gates in heaven above.
Until then I’ll Keep my memories
Tucked deep inside with love
Along with my four leaf clover
My treasures from heaven above.
A clover A treasure Blessings
From above strength peace
Memories and faith
All sent from heaven with gods everlasting love.

The Mention Of Your Name
Do you make them laugh up their,
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter,
Like you did when you were here?
The very mention of your name,
The memories of your smile,
The little things you said and did,
Are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us,
There’s nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
There is no perfect day.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
We have broken down & cried.
We want to tell you something
So there wont be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without...

Sweet Memories
I never meant to leave you
Could I have only stayed
We would be going on in life
With all the plans we made
Now all the hopes and dreams we shared
Are but sweet memories
For you to tuck inside your heart
Now when you remember me
Remember all the good times
And all the joy we shared
Remember how you touched my life
And how I really cared
Think back on all the laughter
And wipe away the tears
You have still many miles to go
And still have many years
Don't look back, look forward
This day is a brand new start
And as you travel on in life
You'll take a bit of my heart
I never meant to leave you
But still you'll not be alone
For as long as my love lives in you
I'll never really be gone

Candles Will Be Lit On Sunday For Monday
My Very Special Mum
My Mum is a survivor,
Or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night,
When all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night,
And go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her,
To help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach,
That never wash away...
I watch over my surviving Mum,
Who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see,
Tears flowing from her eyes.
My Mum tries to cope with death,
To keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows,
It is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving Mum,
Through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels,
Protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her...
Or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...
And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...
No matter what she feels,
My surviving Mum has a broken heart,
That time won't ever heal.
Dad’s Cry Too….
I cannot ease your aching heart Dad,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk Dad,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you Dad,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, for I'm still here Dad,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile
An Angel From Heaven
God sent me an angel from heaven above
It's filled with complete unconditional love
It watches and follows wherever I go
If I'm happy or sad this little angel does know
It climbs upon my lap and wipes away all my tears
One look in those eyes wipes away all my fears
For in those soft gentle eyes there’s something I see
Which speaks to me silently 'you always have me'
As those soft gentle kisses bring a smile to my face
And a love in my heart which can't be replaced
It continues to tell me in it's own special way
Of how much it loves me as it begins to say
'At night I will cuddle by your side while you sleep
My life is to love you, this promise I keep
I'll wake you come morning with kisses galore
You'll giggle and laugh and ask me for more'
'When sadness you feel or life lets you down
I'll do whatever it takes to wipe off your frown
I'll show you some tricks, I'll bring you my toy
Or rest my head in your lap, if this brings you joy'
'If sickness should keep you in bed for the day
I'll stay right beside you, we don't have to play
And if going for walks is something you do
I'll be your companion take me with you'
I'll try hard to show you my love is so strong
I'll try only to please you, I'll try not to do wrong
If a mistake I should make, then I ask this of you
Remember that angels can make mistakes too'
'I'll ask not much of you, it's for love that I yearn
Because loves what god taught me to give in return
It's all unconditional and comes straight from the heart
And my promise I give you till death do us part'
'So this is my story one I wanted to share
Of my littlest angel who's always right there
This littlest angel that I'm so thankful of
Yes this littlest angel of unconditional love'

THANKS A MILLION!!!!
I am so pleased to have my computer back I have really really missed lighting my candles & messages for Christopher I miss him so much.
I would like to thank each and every one of you
that have continued to light candles, leave tributes & photographs for Christopher while my computer has been getting fixed.
It has really annoyed me that I have been unable
to light my candles & tributes for all your wonderful angels.
I have missed being in touch with all of you,
and not being able to read all the lovely messages
you leave for Christopher & I they really do mean such a lot to me.
It will take me awhile to read all the messages I have missed but I will read each and every one of them once again thank you all for your support
it is very much appreciated you are all so very kind
A part of us is missing
And there is nothing we can do
The part of us that’s missing,
My dearest Angel is you

SKY BUNNIES
() ()
('.')
(')_(')
The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For angels to find with delight.
Because angels like Easter as well, you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In meadows in the sky.

THE TINY BUNNY

The tiny bunny
Is working all day long
Decorating Easter eggs
While humming a song
He is having so much fun
Making eggs for you and me
And small chocolate bunnies
That he gives away free
But when he is finished
He'll bring them your way
In a big coloured basket
Upon Easter day

A SPECIAL EASTER WISH
This special Easter wish
That comes with love to you
Brings warm and heartfelt thanks
For all the thoughtful things you do--
It also comes to let you know
You mean so much more each day
To everyone your lives have touched
In such a loving way.

FUNNY BUNNY
Little Easter, the comedienne bunny,
Tried too hard at being funny.
She juggled and she dropped the eggs
They fell and smashed between her legs.
Poor Easter left the stage in shame
And thought that she might change her name.
But then that bunny read this ad,
"This Sunday we need help real bad."
So Easter Bunny kept her name
And through the years has gained much fame,
When Easter's Sunday comes each year.
She delivers eggs and we all cheer.

A LITTLE HUG ♥♥♥
A little hug from me to you
To make you smile
When your feeling blue,
To make you happy
When your sad
To let you know life aint so bad
Now I have given
A hug to you
Somehow I feel
Much better too
Hugs are better
When they there shared
So pass this on to show you care...

MY LITTLE ANGEL
You’ve just walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
FOUR CANDLES
The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
The second candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.
This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.
The fourth candle is just for being you
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
GOOD-BYE
I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.
Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”
So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.
But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.
You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.
When your time comes,
To join me up above.
We will be reunited,
And still, we’ll have our love.
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
I CAN'T REMEMBER
Just a line to say I'm living
That I'm not among the dead
Though I'm getting more forgetful
And mixed up in my head.
I got used to arthritis,
To my dentures I'm resigned,
I can manage my bifocals,
But God, I miss my mind.
For sometimes I can't remember,
When I stand at the foot of the stair
If I must go up for something
Or have I just come down from there?
And before the fridge so often,
My poor mind is filled with doubt,
Have I just put the food away,
Or have I come to take some out?
And there's the time when it is dark
With my nightcap on my head,
I don't know if I'm retiring,
Or just getting out of bed.
If it's my turn to write you,
There's no need for getting sore,
I may think that I have written
And don't want to be a bore.
Remember that I love you
And wish that you were near.
Now it is nearly mail time,
So I must say goodbye dear.
There I stand beside the mailbox,
With face so very red,
Instead of mailing you my letter,
I had opened it instead.

A BUTTERFLY CAME FLOATING BY
AND I THOUGHT I KNEW IT'S FACE
IT LANDED ON MY SHOULDER
AND SPREAD IT'S WINGS OF LACE
I LOOKED AND SAW IT SMILING
AS IT WINKED AND FLEW AWAY
I'M SURE I HEARD IT WHISPER
"WE'LL MEET AGAIN ONE DAY"
LOVE MAM XXX
Sitting here remembering,
The smile upon your face
And how it made the world light up
You were full of heavenly grace.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
No longer can I see your face
For you are with God above
But your loving smile will always be
Tucked in my heart with love.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
I know you wouldn’t want to see
Me crying the way I do,
But losing you was a part of me
And days, I can’t make it through.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
Do you hear me crying?
It’s because some days I’m down
I look around for you,
But you’re nowhere to be found.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
Only pictures now remain of you;
Special songs that meant so much
So if you hear me crying,
It’s because I can’t feel your touch.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
Sometimes I think I see you,
On a crowded street or mall.
I then run up and call your name,
But it wasn’t you at all.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
My heart still aches in sadness
And tears, oh how they flow!
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
┊┊ ┊
★ ★┊┊ ┊
So, if you hear me crying,
It’s something I can’t control
Just understand my darling,
When I’m again with you, I’ll be whole.

And none the next day I always put the day

MEMORIES
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel we're with them still
And sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
MY CASTLE
Can you see my castle
Up here in the sky
Its got big gold gates
That sparkle in my eyes
Can you see my garden
It’s full of red flowers
And they smell beautiful
They hold magic powers
I have many new friends
That are all like me
They too are an angel
Flying high and free
They watch over family’s
That like me left behind
And send them angel kisses
They are friends hard to find
I’m glad I’m in heaven
And that I am at peace today
Yes I miss my family dear
But I had to go away
God picked me from many
And said that I’m one of the best
And I had completed my lives journey
And that I had past all the tests
So I deserve this castle
That god gave to me
And one day if your lucky
This castle you will see.
NATURE'S WONDERS
Have you ever wondered
what makes the wind blow?
Could it be our loved ones
blowing us a kiss?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the stars shine?
Is it our loved ones keeping watch
over us while we sleep?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the skies cry?
Could it be our
loved ones missing us?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the sun shine?
Is it our loved ones
giving us a warm hug?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the ocean waves
come pounding to shore?
Could it be our loved ones
wanting to touch us once more?
There are so many of natures wonders
and do we really know why?
Is there a higher power
making sure we always remember
The loved one we’ve lost
and shall never forget.
LIGHT A CANDLE
Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the graveside.
They are somewhere else
radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world
where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left
this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden.
Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame,
in your hearts they will always belong.
♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥
A smile is cheer from you to me,
The cost is nothing its given for free.
They console the weary and gladden the sad.
And can make someone happy when they are mad.
Unlike blessings in which we pray
Its the only thing you keep when you give it away.
