Also much loved family member to extended family , although we never had aunties and uncles , we had

What can i say about Iain ...
well lots ! but iain was a child whom always always always
wanted to be on the go , loved all sports loved music iain just loved life .
Iain and lee were not only brothers but best friends they did everything together , they loved each
others company , they played football cricket all sports . Iain didnt need much sleep at all from
being a little baby , he was a shock to the system after me as i loved sleep as a baby but still do
!
Iain loved helping my dad deliver the milk on the float , he somtimes would get up at 4am to go with
him and wouldnt go to sleep to bedtime.
Iain was taken away from his loving family and friends on the 20th september 1997 it was a Saturday

i remember it like yesterday , but the week running up to the funeral is mostly a blur .
The driver of the car was SPEEDING , he DIDNT STOP STRAIGHT AWAY he carried iain on his car for some
distant. He also had no insunace on his car .
I can remember the night , people coming in and out of my grandparents house askin if i wanted a cup
of tea ! and the police cars doing the test's on the road outside i can still hear the sound of them
slamming on the brakes , i can also remember i ran up to see iain but no one would like me see him
which i am thank full for know , but at the time u dont think like that . One stupid stupid man
moved iains bike which meant the police couldnt get a true account of what happened that night.
Iains funeral was at St john's Church Darlington on the following Friday , Iain came home on the
thursday afternoon to our house he was in the front room with lots of cards and flowers we had
recieved . I didnt want to see Iain but a friend talked me into it and i went in and i am glad i did
he looked swollen , but peacefull but his hair was tooo straight so i had to mess it up ! he was
buried in his newcastle shirt and newcastle tracksuit with his trainers on , my dad give him his
gold football on a chain , dad's friend neil brought a gold football boot , iains friends put photos
in with him aswell.
The next day the day of the funeral , flowers were arriving very early and it was my job to place
them on the front garden all neatly , we had football shorts cricket bats , motorbikes , his name ,
poseys flowers and more flowers and the smell was soo intense to this day if i smell a lot of
flowers it transports me back to that awful week in my life .
When they came to take us and iain to the church this is when it finally hit me that my little
brother was never coming back , with iain being in the front room home for one more night it felt
like that last few days where a dream and very bad dream . The man came then they carried him out in
his small coffin i broke it had finally sunk in .
The church was full , people standing outside .
My Brothers Killer got banned from driving for ONE YEAR AND MADE TO RESIT HIS TEST
and fined for having no car insurance ! they call that justice i dont think so ...
i am aware of the rules on gone to soon and i wont say this man's name but he own's a bike shop in
darlington town centre , i see him often and how i manage to keep my hands to myself and my mouth
shut i dont no .
Iain went to school at heathfield primary school and had lots of friends , they is a few trophies in
Iain's memory , they held sports day in his memory and made a lovely handmade book about iain and
all drew some pictures x
Iain your were a wonderful brother and i miss you dearly , as does Lee he doesnt talk much about you
Iain i think it still hurts him soo much and i wish he would talk and maybe it would help him
through his life , I know you are sending lots of love down to us all and are with us all everyday .

Please show Lee some Guidance in his life at the min he seems to be lost
Iain i always think of you and always miss you
Love Forever
Your Big Sister
Claire
