My beloved son Harry Greenwood born 8th December 1984 07.00hrs and died 5th September 2005 18.20hrs.
He was only 20 yrs old and his occupation was a shot blaster and a qualified fork lift truck driver, he had also gained his health and safety certificate at Bassets Trebor sweet factory in Sheffield.
Harry had started a new job as a double glazing labourer at the time of his death.
Harry had just moved and was living on a farm in Deepcar with members of his sisters husband family.He loved Deepcar and Stocksbridge in Sheffield near Barnsley, Harry was born and brought up there.
Harry had a younger sister Rose and two elder sisters Jessica and Kerrie , he also had a younger half brother Jack. Harry was very fond of his nephews Kyle,Cullen,Ellis,Jay and his new little niece Nicole.
On September 5th approx. 18.10hrs Harry had gone to his local "Rock" at Greenmoor in a slumber little village after work and had just bought his first pint of the evening when his new mate of a few weeks "Matt" asked for a ride on Harrys motorbike (Matt was intrested in buying the bike) . Harry was so concernd his friend (who was going to ride pillion) may be cold he lent him his jacket to wear. Harry left his pint on the bar (he only had a few sips from it) and shouted to his other mates "i will be back soon".
On a warm clear sunny evening Harry and his friend died when being in collision with a car travelling in the opposite direction on a slight curve in the quiet country road which was a blind bend. Harry never returned to finish his drink and died instantly with a serious injury to the chest and his friend died a few hours later in hospital from head injurys.
At the inquest neither Harry or his motorcycle were at fault.
Harry was my only son and when i was pregnant i always longed for a little boy .I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy and lost my first baby boy.Harry was very sturdy and chubby as a baby and was always sleeping .He loved cars and bikes from being a very young boy and was fascinated with cars.
Harry was named after his dads friend (Michael Foster alias nickname Harry) who strangely also died instantly in a motorbike accident at approx. the same age 5th June 1981.
Harry was a reserved sort of lad and up to him being around 18yrs old he was not bothered about going out much.The only thing he really cared about was his family and he was really mixed up as a young lad due to his mum and dad getting divorced when he was 4 years old.
Harry had a protective side towards his mum and younger sister and was always winding his sisters and mum up by tormenting and teasing us. His sisters were always ruff and tumbling with him and miss the fun they use to have.
Harry did not call me mum much he preferred to call me Muv or Muvva .Harry was very special to me and i will always miss his loud music and the way he use to tell me to listen to the words in the songs he played .He was very caring and was always concerned about what was happening in the world .
The day the Angels took him he had on his wrist "end world poverty" charity wrist band.
I will miss our chats about cars and work and the way he use to have enthusiam to make his self better and do better.
Every day and night i think of Harry as the pain of missing him does not get easier . Muv XXX.

Happy Birthday
20 earth years and your 7th heaven year. 27 yrs old today you would have been if your short life with me had not been taken away so abruptly Harry.
I'll lay my birthday flowers to you... and spend time at your grave knowing no mum should have to do what i do.
Your spirit and memories are always with me. Happy birthday Angel Son, love you always. xxxx
Hello Harry
Just wanted to say what an amazing woman your mum is. She left some lovely words on my FB page about me, but we all know that she herself is an amazing woman who has been through so much yet is not bitter nor twisted.
You must be so proud of her Harry
Thinking of you and your lovely mum
with love

Years of Time Past.
Far away in times gone by is my lad Haz. I tried so hard to keep off his web pages...i felt as though i didn't need to come to " Gone too Soon" website page to remind myself of the love i have for my own Angel Son....But i do. I'll always love him and needless to say always want his presence with me but, i will not always be on Earth either. Memories will be here for ever...My memories of a mother who lost her son in a tragedy that should never have happened.
The years go by, but every 5th September that comes around the clock hands move hour by hour and i think of every last minute leading up to his death. When every 5th September is finished i feel a sense of relief. A calm knowing your sleeping peacefully.
I'm happy now knowing that i have my happy memories to share in my thoughts now for the rest of the year. Maybe i'm alone in this venture of writing thoughts of fondness of my late son...i don't know and i don't really care what anyone thinks...it's my way of grieving for my lad Haz. Muvva xxx

5 years since you were taken by the angels. Time moves on for people and memories fade, but special friends and family will never forget your time on Earth Haz. I miss your presence and hearing your voice and the daft little smirk of a laugh you had. In my memory there are all the daft things you did to make me laugh, there are all the bad times we had too, but i wouldn't have wished you to be any different. You are my son, my boy, a favourite child of mine. Unforgettable moments. Muvva xxxx
....................Angel Day
Beautiful Angel, we think of you
On your angel anniversary
Of the life you lived on earth
And the care you gave so free
Look down on all your family
As they remember you today
And they think of all the love you shared
Before you went away
They have such happy memories
Of the time when you were here
And always in their hearts
They will hold those memories dear ...

I felt your presence again x
Yes you were there again when i had my first review with he doctor about how my treatment was going. You have the little gist of knocking things over as though they have fell and when the doctors book toppled of the edge of the desk i knew you were there.
I felt a little ignorant while the doc was speaking to me and i smirked as the book fell over on to the floor, and i whispered your name 'Harry' to Pete sat at the side of me.
You really are my Angel Son and even though i miss you on Earth Harry i know you are happy in Heaven and that makes me happy too. xxx
Stay close to her Harry
Hi Harry
your mum emailed me the other day about what she has written below. It bought tears to my eyes when I read her email. Well done Harry, you were there with her. She needs all the help and strength she can get, and to know that you are there every step of the way with her is nice to hear and comforting for her.
She is one lovely lady, but then you already know that don't you

At the hospital Today
There i was laid on the ct scanner machine bed, the nurses were preparing me for my radiotherapy treatment. I was having little tattoo marks placed on my skin. How overwhelmed with emotion i became when i felt a blessing from you. Your tune which had been played in the church at your funeral came on the radio playing in the background in the room.
My first thoughts were of you Haz , then i thought how strange and coincidental can this be. I felt tears sting my eyes and the warm feeling of tears run down my cheeks. I was happy, i felt good, i felt as though you were at my side giving me your blessings that my treatment for my cancer is going to make me better again.
I told the nurses why i had tears in my eyes, wether they thought i was crazy or not i don't know and i don't really care.
Your with me in spirit. A spiritulist once told me when you were a little boy that you were gifted and i believe you are. xxx muvva (on a mission)
