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.

Sorry for your loss
Hello! I came here by a link from Sheffield Forum
My eldest Son was killed on the Stocksbridge Bypass, it will be 10yrs on December 10th. He was totally blameless....on his way home from work...someone coming in the opposite direction crossed the solid white line, and the impact killed him instantly.
It does get easier, but never goes away.
((Hugs))......Aileen
So Sorry
Debbie

Still Missing You
They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
when we were all together
The family chain is broken now,
but memories live forever
Time has taken me from you,
Although not very far.
I'll be watching through the sunshine
And through the brightest star.
I'll be watching all of you,
From the heavens up above.
So take good care of each other
And carry all my love.
If you're ever wondering
If I'm there, here's where you can start.
Take a look inside yourself
Deep within your heart.
I'll always be your baby,
Your child (grandchild), your best friend.
So anytime you need me,
Close your eyes I'm back again.
Missing you at Christmas
We are still hurting Harry
All our hearts are still missing you in pain
We'll never stop hurting Harry
Till we are with you once again
Love and kisses Mum , your sisters , nephews & niece. xxx
Feel his love around you
Hi, just want to say thanx for visiting Tarrens page, it really hit us hard, my son went late night shopping and left Tarren to put little boy to bed. When he returned he blew up the balloons ready for their sons birthday next day. He then went to look for her thinking she had fell asleep only to find that she had an epeleptic fit in the bath and drowned. You expect to loose your parents but not your children. It must be really hard for you and I share your pain. Harry will always be around you, looking over what you do, putting his arms around you even though you will never feel them, but please be assured he is there, take care Jane & family xxx
I made a promise to you Harry
Before the angels took you Harry we had a chat and i promised you i was coming back to Sheffield to find a place to live for you and me.I succeeded and got that place yesterday.Its been hard for me since you have been gone but i finally found the courage to carry on. I have kept off the drink and are feeling better and have now started to improve myself like you were trying. I also have qualifications now and are training for an important job so you would have felt proud of me if you had still been on the earth plain; you always was telling me to get a better job , but bringing 4 of you up on my own was never easy and i had to take poor jobs i know , but it fitted around you all. I miss you Haz and i never stop thinking about you. Your sister Kerrie misses you but is such a little hard nut i can see it really hurts her inside. Your sister Rose is missing you too and Jessica even though Jess doesnt seem to admit it much. You were like the anchor to us all and our only man to keep an eye on us. Love you xxx
For harry's Mum
I read this and you touched my heart...I have two sons and one daughter, they are still very young. I just could never imagine what you are going through, I will pray that you can find peace. May God bless you and your family x
today is 2 years gone by
The hurts still there and the tears still sting my eyes . Thoughts of 'if only' are still in my head, memorys of times of fun and laughter still remain. I suppose we all have to 'change' cause nothing is the same....no more.
I miss you Haz more than words can explain. xxx
