Steven Burgess, was 17 when he died, on 24th June 2006. He'd recently started a college course as a
trainee mechanic. Steven lived in Edinburgh with his mum Shiona, and his wee sister, Rosie. He also
liked to spend time with his other family members, his Granny and Grandad, his auntie Sooz and Uncle
Denis, and cousins Denbhoy and Meg. Steven was diagnosed with cancer in December '05 and showed
amazing courage and strength throughout his illness. He was still able to retain his "wicked" sense
of humour!! Steven was, and carries onto be an inspiration to ALL the family. When Steven started
to feel unwell we visited our GP a few times, on each occasion we were assured that Steven was
"perfectly healthy". Clearly this was not the case as the early hours of December 14th 2005 would
disclose. Having rushed Steven to the hospital and following a series of tests, it was revealed
that he had a "lump or growth" in his tummy. This proved to be a cancerous growth which was the
size of a rugby ball upon diagnosis. Steven was then treated with chemotherapy and fought against
his illness with tremendous courage. Sadly, my beautiful boy lost his fight for life 6 months after
his diagnosis. Steven was treated in the local childrens hospital alongside much younger patients
and whilst the level of care he received was of a high standard, the environment was inappropriate
for him as it failed to meet his social, psychological and sometimes physical needs. In the last
week of my sons life, his feet and lower legs were hanging off the end of his hospital bed as it was
far too small for him.
Often, teenagers with cancer will receive their treatment within inappropriate facilities either
being treated alongside very young patients or with patients much older than themselves. The
Teenage Cancer Trust are helping to bridge that gap by providing purpose built units for teenagers
and young adults with cancer. These units provide specialist care within "teenage friendly
surrounding". Since Stevens death our family have become great supporters of this charity and have
set up a fund called Stevens Dream, supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust in the hope to get a unit in
Edinburgh for young adults with this horrendous disease.
I'd like to thank everyone who visits Stevens site. Your messages and support are greatly
appreciated. I'd also like to thank my beautiful son Steven for being the greatest teacher in my
life, for the awesome journey we shared with each other and for being the most beautiful soul God
ever created.
Heartfelt thanks for your time and support
With Love to you all
Shiona xx

*★ܓ Why do we feel the way we do
*★ܓ Missing our angels like the way we do
*★ܓ Some days we hurt so much inside
*★ܓ All we want is our angels by our side
*★ܓ We know our angels are having fun
*★ܓ looking down laughing at us
*★ܓ thinking we should really know
*★ܓ how much they still love us so
*★ܓ But all we want is to hold there hand
*★ܓ And tell them we want them
*★ܓ On this earthly ground
*★ܓ How we know this can never be
*★ܓ As god took our angels
*★ܓ To his heavenly land
*★ܓ Our pain and hurt is so deep
*★ܓ How will our heart ever heal
*★ܓ How we hope you can hear us
*★ܓ each day and night
*★ܓ wishing you our beautiful angels
*★ܓ★* Goodnight *★ *★ܓ We love you oh so much

I am the wind in your hair, with you everywhere
I am the stars in the sky and the sun up high.
I am the waves in the ocean, with your every emotion
I am the snow on the ground, I am all around.
I am the flowers in the meadow, wherever you go
I am the moon at night, please know I'm alright.
I am the bird's sweet song, I am not gone
I am the blossom on a tree, you'll never forget me.
I am the rain on your face, a rainbow's embrace
I am the leaves on the ground, I'll always be around.
I am the fluffy white clouds, innocent and pure
Look all around you, you'll feel me I'm sure.
I am that warm loving feeling, deep in your heart
My memories live on, we'll never be apart.
I am all around you, in all that you see, hear and do
Just reach right out now, I am always here with you.
Love always xXx.

Memories
© Louise Bailey
I feel a warmth around me
like your presence is so near,
And I close my eyes to visualize
your face when you were here,
I endure the times we spent together
and they are locked inside my heart,
For as long as I have those memories
we will never be apart,
Even though we cannot speak no more
my voice is always there,
Because every night before I sleep
I have you in my prayer.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
GOODNIGHT SWEET *ANGEL*
