a tribute from Stephens Mum Jean
I just want to say thankyou to the many lovely people who are leaving tributes and lighting candles for Stephen. It means a lot to all his loving family.
We are all having a hard time coming to terms with the way Stephen took his life. He was more desperate to end the nightmare he was living through, than we knew.
His friend said he had more guts than anyone hed ever known and proved this to the end. Stephen self harmed and had tried previously to end his life. He took an overdose on xmas eve but the hospital discharged him at 3pm on xmas day even after Stephen told the nurse, 'if you send me home now, ill do it again but properly' sadly they didnt listen and just over 24 hours later Stephen drove over cliffs at the local beauty spot where many good friends have gone before him. You can not have a mental health problem on weekends or bank holidays and especially at Christmas. Now Christmas will never be the same for Our families because they chose not to take Stephen serious!
Stephen was born 4 years after his brother Lee and he was a beautiful child with big brown eyes and white blonde hair. He was always happy and well behaved. He was so close to Lee as they grew up and they would always do anything for each other. His illness didnt show until his teens but throughout the problems he had he was a very loyal kind boy. We went on to have his second brother,Jak when he was 14 and he loved Jak so much. He would take him out and spoil him and he would enjoy babysitting him. Jaks told me some stories about what they got up to and i have to laugh. Like Stephen raiding my tin with a knife to get a chinkeys for them. Id saved £2 coins for ages and thought i should have had more when i emptied it! As Stephen got older and grew into a man the problems got worse and we had some right fights but we got over them and we were just at the point of a breakthrough as he had been diagnosed so all his family were looking to the future for him. The night before he died he told his aunty he just wanted to be normal and have a girlfriend and a baby like Lee. Lee has a little girl, Madison whos nearly 2 and Stephen adored her and i know he would have been a fantastic Daddy. He also loved all his family and would always be the first one to help when he was needed.
My only hope now is that Stephen has got the peace he so deserved. He has left lots of brilliant memories and in time they will far outweigh the bad times. His life was short but he crammed lots into it and he will never ever be forgotten.
In time i will share more of the fun times as he had a great knack of making people laugh. Love and hugs to you son from mam, Lee n Jak and all your family. We miss you more than words can sayxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

How will heaven be?
As far as I can see
It will have huge bells
And will be situated on clouds
It will have many golden wells
That will so often swell
Rain will be abundant
And the sun will shine all day long
Angels will play on the harp
The sweetest summer song
Music that will touch the heart
While those beneath will shed drops of sorrow
Little will they know what will happen on the morrow
But to them up above
As plain and clear it will be
As far as far as I can see
Yes there will be misty alleys
And lush green meadows
Fresh with the fragrant smell of spring
Winter will never be bitter
Summer never so hot
Autumn never so bare
And resources never so scarce
Food for all will be relished by all.
Grateful we’ll be as grateful can be
Mountains high and strong and brown
Surrounding that hidden land,
Beautiful and vast seas I see
There colour as blue as sapphire can be
And the white waves lashing upon the shore
Sitting on the flattened grey rocks
Who would not call it absolutely heavenly?
However it might actually be,
But can we still not see
There will lie behind this seen
A relieving feeling of bliss
For where not have we been
But is this not by all believed
That after one’s decease
This is the land of eternal peace
Where we all ultimately reach?
