Joe Richard Brundish, taken from us cruelly & suddenly on 16 September 2007, aged 8 years & 10
months.
Our wonderful son Joe had a difficult few early years before he was diagnosed as autistic and then
started to receive the understanding of others. The start of 2007 was the start of a brand new
exciting life for Joe - he moved to a new house with a big garden, started a new school and in March
2007 his baby brother Ash arrived! All big big changes for a child with autism but Joe took to his
new home, school & baby brother with enthusiasm. In a short space of time he made many friends and
came to adore little Ash - even changing nappies!
His future seemed so bright but over just one awful week in September 2007 all of this was cut
short. Misdiagnosed as having tonsillitus, he spent a week off school and went to hospital on the
evening of Friday 14 September with suspected meningitus. By the early hours of Saturday we learned
he had Leukaemia and by the early hours of Sunday, our darling Joe B had lost his fight for life,
aged 8 years & almost 10 months old.. Acute Myeloid Leukaemia stole you away from your mum, dad &
baby brother Ash (then aged 5 months), family & friends. We miss you every single day.
Darling Joe, you should be running around with your little brother now. He's 18 months old and looks
just like you. You'd be getting excited to be a big boy 10 years old in November. I miss you so
much, I look at your photo before I go to sleep at night and when I wake in the morning. I love you
so much Best Boy.

Special hugs
We shared so much during your time with us at Glenbrook, happy times and sad! but I'm so grateful for that special time and those wonderful memories. You were my reason to turn up everyday and I miss you so much. More than anything I miss your special hugs and cheeky grin. You will always have a special place in my heart Joe B. - Love Mrs Brecknock xxxxx
Miss you darling
My darling Joe B, not a moment passes that I don't miss you. Everytime your little brother does something new I just wish you could be here to see it. You loved Ash so very much and he needed a big brother like you. I'll never ever forget you nor stop loving you. And I'll never understand why you were taken from me.
My best boy Joe B.

If tomorrow starts without me
If tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see.
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,
Are filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you loved me,
As much as I love you.
And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
I hope you’ll understand,
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I wish I could have said goodbye,
And kissed and seen you smile,
I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.
But then I had to realise, that this could never be,
Now emptiness, and memories,
Would take the place of me.
But when I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.
He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,
Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”
“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same up here,
There’s no longing for the past”
My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,
Coz I am truly free,
And I will wait for you to come and share my life with me.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hey Joe. Miss you every day. Wish you were here to see how much your brother has grown up. Life isn't the same without you. Love you very much. Dad.
My heart goes out to you , it is such a shock . I too lost my Son Mark in February 2007 and in a similar way to the way you lost your lovely son Joe . Mark had had a cough for a few weeks , one weekend he was a little worse, Flu like, and we called the doctor out who told us he had bronchitis and he needed lots of rest and fluids , that was sunday night , on tuesday morning we could not wake him .Mark did not regain consciousness, He died on the wednesday. Mark had acute lymphoblastic leukaeimia he was 15.
I can probably understand much of what you are going through. My thoughts are with you all . Love Yvonne xx
THE ETERNAL CANDLE
A candle burns for you, My Love
Through a window in my heart!
To guide you through the darkest nights---
Like when we are apart!
The Flame, it burns with many hues;
It's nimbus---silver-gold!
The Flame itself can never die,
Though the heart itself grows old!
And when the time has come, My Love
For me to go afar---
My candle still will shine for you,
But as a brilliant star!
For as the stars are eternal---
So shall our love be! rest in peace sweet angel.xxxxxx
