Shelley Greenwood
Died 27 April 2001
Age 39
Adelaide, Western Australia
Daughter of the late Jean and Tom Greenwood, sister to myself, carol, Tina, the late Debbie, and
Susan. Auntie to many nephews and nieces. Loving mother to Chelsea.
Shelley was found dead at home after an accidental overdose of prescribed drugs and drink.
Shelley was the smallest of all of us, petite, cute and childlike. She was full of love and concern
and she would cry for the whole world. Her life was not easy as an adult as she suffered from
depression on and off for many years.
She had one daughter Chelsea who was her world.
She died on our Mum's birthday one year after our sister Debbie died of cancer.
She was a beautiful girl inside and out and I hope that they are both up there with the angels
looking after all the little babies.
Today I touched your face again
and watched you for awhile,
I talked of things deep in my heart
and wished I could make you smile.
I rubbed your head and told you,
how proud I am of you,
For all the little things you did
and the way you did each one.
You show such courage daily
and you teach me how to live,
To make each moment count in life
and to give all I can give.
Did I tell you 'You're my hero'
when I saw you yesterday?
Or did it slip my mind
as I gently put you away?
I know your time on earth is done,
but it's how you lived each day,
You made the most of what you had
and always found a way,
To touch the hearts around you,
to love while you may.
I wish with all my heart right now,
the face I touched today,
Wasn't made of paper
or neatly placed away.
But I will put you on the shelf again
for all the world to see,
I'll talk to you tomorrow
just like I do each day.
And I'll tell you 'You're my hero'
as I gently walk away.
Love to you always, and especially now as Christmas is approaching and our loved ones who cannot be with us are constantly in our thoughts.
I'm sorry I have not been on lately, having quite a hard time with money and health problems, and in case I don't get on before Xmas I want to wish all my GTS friends and their angels a very merry Christmas, and here's to the New Year.....may it be all that you wish for and more.
All my love, Mel. xxxxxxx
♥ღ♥ Gone Only To Others ♥ღ♥
Others, who do not know,
Tiptoe around your name
Unaware that your name is silently
Written on my heart, my soul, my life
And inwardly I cry out to hear it spoken.
Others who do not know
Think of you as only in the past,
And believe
That you only exist in my past too
Not understanding that you are
Past, Present, Future.
Others, who do not know,
Feel you as gone,
And fail to see the reality of you
Never being ‘truly’ gone from me.
The empty void of your absence
Is filled with your presence,
Your life will forever weave through mine
The divine bond cannot be severed.
Others who do not know,
Mistakenly may think that my love has been
Weakened by separation,
Feelings ceased,
Not so.
Entwined and strengthened
My love for you lives on
And has not died with death.
But you know all this,
If only others knew.
Dear Carole, Sorry for the delay in writing Shelley's tribute, I have moved house and everything has all been up in the air lately. Thinking of you always. Love Mel (Grace and Francis Doe)
For Carole

Look for me in springtime
As raindrops fill the air
In the splendour of the rainbow
You’ll find my presence there.
You will find me in the fragrance
Of April’s sweet perfume
Drifting through the clover
On a sultry day in June.
An August day will find me
Upon the summer breeze
On the distant sound of the thunder
In the gently swaying trees.
In the golden fields of harvest
Is where I can be found
As autumn time approaches
And leaves comes tumbling down.
In the wintertime when days are short
And chill is in the air
Just look into a moonlit night
You’ll find me lingering there.
When the setting sun has gone away
And shadows fill the night
When the cloak of darkness lifts its veil
I’ll be your morning light.
So when you feel discouraged
And at night to God you pray
You’ll feel me there beside you
I’m just a breath away.

Sorry I haven't been on for ages, but please know you are always in my thoughts. Love Mel (Grace and Francis Doe). xxx

Reflection
Another day for you to wonder, another day for you to mourn
It wasn't my intention to go before the coming dawn
My pain was deep within my heart and troubled head
It wasn't my intention to go without words said.
My frame of mind seemed normal, or so I heard them say
It wasn't my intention not to see another day
I did not mean to make you suffer or cause you so much pain
It wasn't my intention to never see you again.
Despair and confusion left my aching mind unsure
It wasn't my intention to suddenly close life's door
If only I could give you reasons and brush the tears away
It wasn't my intention to leave you and not stay.
I did not mean for you to grieve, now left alone to cry
It wasn't my intention to leave you, forever asking why
As the burdens of life's worries slowly ebb from my heart
it wasn't my intention to tear your soul apart

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 gravesite,
They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone into 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...
Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I have had a lot of changes at home and it has been a lot to deal with! Thinking of you always. Love Mel (Grace and Francis Doe) xxxxx
An Angels Kiss
We never stop to measure
Anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.
A Kiss that's sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss that's very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For it's meant for only you.
So when your heart is heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again.
About the one you grieve for
And so sadly miss
That gentle breeze you took for granted
Was your Angel's Kiss.

~~Tears (by Jack Larsen)~~
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love
Made to release deep emotions
A special gift sent from above.
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief
When happy thoughts flee like a thief
Running away with our hopes and our cares
A tear brings welcome relief.
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear
With time a soul is healed
Restored with the help of a tear.
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving
The most precious gifts of all.
Always in my thoughts. x
♥«•* I Want You To Know (by Angela) *•»♥
A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.
Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.
All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life
I am finally home.
I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.
I know that you miss me
but please dry your eyes,
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.
A cool breeze on your face
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.
Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home
Eternity is mine.
