Scott James Ross died on 28th July 2007 aged 20.
'On Thursday 26th July, Mr Ross was driving westbound on the A720 when he lost control 1/4 mile after passing the Straiton junction. Emergency services were quick on the scene, however due to the severity of his injuries, he later died in hospital. Police are still appealing for information on the accident.'
Scott had just completed his four year apprenticeship within the family business, and was looking forward to spending his life with girlfriend Leanne. Scott's friends would describe him as funny and caring with a contageous smile. He is sadly missed eveyday, though his spirit lives on in us all.
Scott has been a talented dancer for as long as I can remember. It's tragic for such a gifted young man to lose his life so young. He would have went far in life.
Dealy missed son to Jean and Robert. Grandson to Elsie. Brother to Alex and Terry. Cousin to Richard, Stephanie, William, Frankie, Colin, Paula, Lucy and Kayleigh. Close friend to Darren, Michael, Chris, Damien, Steff, Lewis, Nathan, and everyone he knew.
Thank you to everyone who attended his funeral. There will be a memorial service held over the summer, details will be put up soon.
Also thank you for all the candles and tributes, every word means a lot to his family.
R.I.P Scott

Only The Best
A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.
God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.
To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last
Miss you loads, love you forever babe

love from dorothy simon richardsons mam
♥ ♥ Dear Friend ♥ ♥
♥ I Will Be Here ♥
I cannot ease your aching heart,
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,
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,
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,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile
~ ♥ ~ Lots Of Love ~ ♥ ~

our loved ones
MY BEAUTIFUL SON
Why did you have to leave me
why did you have to die?
Was I not meant to keep you
why do I have to cry?
I want you back here with us
things can never be the same
how can I just go on each day
and play life's awful game?
You were my much wanted son
I love you very much
I'll never again see you laugh or cry
or feel your gentle touch
I need to get some answers
my questions seem ignored
I feel so lost and lonely here
oh, help me please my lord
take good care of my son
now you've taken him from me
wrap him tightly in your arms
and kiss him tenderly
please tell him that I love him so
and will wait forever more
and save a place for me one day
when i'll be whole once more
LOVE from dorothy
For Jean xxx
Always in my thoughts sending all my love xxx
TIME
I thought that time was healing
All the hurt you left behind
That empty spaces could be filled
My arms, my heart, my mind
And though my body looks the same
As it did when you were here
The emptiness is growing
Even bigger with each year
I thought that time was healing
All the agonising pain
That as the tears were fading
Soon I wouldn't feel the same
And though I can be smiling
And you think that I'll survive
The pain is in my blood now
I have nowhere else to hide
I thought that time was healing
All the loss a mother feels
That now you live within my heart
I had you near me still
But I need so much to touch you
To see you smile again
And those memories I'm told are mine
Can never feel the same
I thought that time was healing
All the while the mask was worn
That underneath a new me
Was waiting to be born
But now I find I am the mask
It helps to keep me safe
And though my heart is breaking
You won't see it in my face
I thought that time was healing
All those tears my eyes have seen
That aching arms that miss you
Could be satisfied with dreams
But here I am, in pain again
And healing stands alone
And mother weeps, the world can see
For a son who can't come home
To Everyone

The Balloon x
A simple novelty at first sight,
Came this toy of delight.
With silver shine on mylar hide,
And long red string still tether tied.
In the eyes of a child it was unique,
A ball that searched for the ceiling peak.
This floating lobe with skyward reach,
On words not part of gravity's speech.
A balloon it was, to amuse the soul,
To fill a seven-year-old's playmate role
At first not clear just how it could,
Take joyful fun and make it good.
In the corner, upon the ceiling,
It hid alone with simple feeling,
But then a tug, and several more,
And "Oh" what fun it had in store!
Tied to a finger, and then a toy,
Throughout the day it delivered joy.
At first a whisper, but now a holler,
"Look at it now, tied on the dog's collar!"
Such fun and fun this show did bring,
To help a child's heart to sing,
And dance with glee throughout the day,
To play as one in friendship's way.
But despite the hours of pure fun,
Who can deny the calling sun.
Not the balloon, that's for sure,
As it stretched toward heaven's skyward lure.
When no one saw, it reached a door,
To answer a calling it had before,
And suddenly, with the blink of an eye,
The balloon was gone into the sky.
We watched it drift to its new home;
A special place where all things roam.
I didn't know balloons went there too,
'Till a child's tears --- told me it's true.
In its way, the balloon was a friend,
Simple and plain, but true to the end.
As it floated to heaven, finally free,
It silently waved for us all to see.
I could see the reflection in a child's eyes,
Of a balloon up high upon the skies,
Wishing a return that will never occur,
With questions that tears did solemnly blur.
Someday will come the heavenly call,
As one of life's lessons that applies to us all.
When the balloon did drift beyond our sight,
It flashed a final angelic light.
Someday too, our spirits shall rise,
To float in kind, toward sacred skies.
And though we're more than mylar and string,
We'll join the balloon --- where the angels sing
