Ben's friend Alison lovingly created this site and very kindly handed the reins over to me. Bless
you Ali xxxx

To our good friend Ben Oxley, you were taken from your loved ones way too soon at only 27. Everybody
who knew you loved you and everybody who met you liked you! You will never be forgotten. There just
arent enough words to describe you and there will never be enough words to describe losing you. We
hope you are in a nicer place now watching over your family and Katrina. You will be missed every
second of every day. Thank you for the memories, thank you for being you. Love always Alison. xx

Ben leaves behind a devastated family, his fiancee Katrina, his parents Tim and Jill, younger
brother and sister, Sam and Katie. We will love and miss Ben every day until we are reunited again.

Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us wonderful memories,
your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Well Ben I am going to keep this short and sweet because I could write about you forever. Ben was
the biggest character in our family. He lived his life to the full and lived each day has his last
with no regrets. He didnt take life seriously and had an easy care free outlook on life which has
parents was frustrating at times!! Ben had a wicked sense of humour and saw the funny side of things
even when not appropiate!! Ben was a joiner and took great pride in his work and was always only too
willing to do jobs for his family and friends. Wherever we go we see his handiwork and feel so
proud. If you wanted a good night out then Ben was the one to be with, though he did like to bring
golf flags home with him! Ben was a caring lad and always there for his family and friends who were
so important to him. Ben didnt fulfil his dream of marrying Kat next year or of the longing to have
his own family. I hope Ben is with his angel that he and Kat lost last year. Ben has left us some
amazing memories and life is quite boring without him now. You weren't an angel Ben but you are one
now. We love and miss you more than we can describe and everyone who was lucky enough to have met
you will never forget you. Wherever you are son be happy enjoy your time before we all come to join
you! Sleep peacefully Ben you are away from this cruel world. You are in our hearts and thoughts
until the day we die. Love you now and forever Mum & Dad

Shine down beautiful Angel..
Shine like the sun
Go shine with your Angel friends..
And I hope you have fun

With your beautiful wings..
You fly high all around
Dropping white fluffy feathers..
Down on the ground

When we see the feathers fall..
Out of the sky..
It looks like snow..
Falling from way up high

It's your way..
Of letting us know..
You are happy in heaven..
So that goes to show

When we see a rainbow..
With colours so bright..
We think of you..
Day and night

May God keep you safe..
Sweet Angel above
I shall say..
Night night..
And send you my love x

As I look at the moon
I wish you goodnight
The dearest angel
So special and loved.

You are the one God chose to take
You are the one we could not wake
I know in heaven is now where you sleep.

So please God in heaven
God up above
Please protect this angel
That we love.

I must say good night
I blow to you a kiss
I wish you goodnight
The angel that we miss.

I know i saw you last night
Angel kisses on my hand
Talking to me sweetly
Trying to make me understand

You didnt want to leave me
You said you had no choice
You heard the words come with me
The words came from Gods voice

You left behind a broken heart
But dont forget i still love you

✿..LET US REMEMBER THEM...✿

✿ 'Please wear a poppy', the lady said
and held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old, and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.✿

✿ A boy came wistling down the street,
Bouncing along, on care free feet
His smile was full of joy and fun,
'Lady', said he, 'May I have one?'
When she pinned it on, he turned to say,
'Why do we wear a poppy today?'✿

✿ The lady smiled in her wistful way,
and answered, 'This is Rememberance Day,
And the poppy there is the symbol for,
the gallant men who died in war,
and because they died you and I are free--
Thats why we wear a poppy, you see'.✿

✿ 'I had a boy about your size,
with golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by, he learned and grew
and became a man--as you will, too.' ✿

✿ 'He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
but he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away,
I still remember his face that day.
When he smiled at me and said'Good-bye,
I'll soon be back, mom, so please don't cry'.✿

✿ 'But the war went on and he had to stay,
and all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the awful fight,
(I can see it in my dreams at night),
with the tanks and guns and cruel Barbed wire,
and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.'✿

✿'Till at last the war was won-
and thats why we wear a poppy son'.
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said 'Thanks lady, I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your Son-- did he come back alright?'✿

✿ A tear rolled down each faded cheek;
she shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
and if you were me you'd have done the same;
For our thanks, in giving, is oft delayed,
though our freedome was bought-and thousands paid.✿

✿ And so when we see a poppy worn, let us reflect on the burden borne
By those who gave their very all
and asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy. Remember-- and give!✿

✿ Lest we forget......✿

Memories Build a Special Bridge
(Emily Matthews)

Our memories build a special bridge
when loved ones have to part
to help us feel we're with them still
and sooth a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared,
preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
and bring us peace of mind.
