You will never walk alone.xxx

IT TAKES A MINTUE TO KNOW SOMEONE,
AN HOUR TO LIKE SOMEONE,
A DAY TO LOVE SOMEONE,
BUT IT TAKES A LIFETIME TO FORGET SOMEONE.

LIVE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW,
DANCE LIKE NO-ONE IS WATCHING,
AND LOVE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN HURT,
ALWAYS GIVE,
ALWAYS FORGIVE,
THATS THE BEST WAY TO LIVE.

Eulogy read out after the funeral its a beutiful poem one of Micks best friends wrote for him:

Wee Mick was a legend,a good pal to many, a kind and generous guy, who'd give his last penny, knew how to charm, he had this wee quirk you knew he was at it when you saw that smirk!

when he gave you that smile, you were bang to rights yes he knew when to flash the old pearly whites gave it some patter, yes he had a flair as he strutted around with his Mick Hucknall hair!

A comedian yes he was one of the boys, a wee bit of mischief and one or two ploys there's been many a story been told about Mick, one step ahead, never once missed a trick!

A talented footballer fast on his feet when he played for ST Margaret's they were hard to beat. Top scorer of course and player of the year as his manager shouted, stay of the beer!

Happy go lucky with a heart of pure gold, with a nod and a wink you'd be bought and sold, a jack of all trades from plaster to paint,wonder if he'll get promoted to saint.

Mick was truly blessed with the family he had four handsome young sons who doted on Dad, blessed again with two mothers who both loved him so hearts now been broken cause their boy had to go.

To Bernadette, Vi, Alec and John always remember your boy will "walk on"

God bless all the family and help them to see that Mick's now at peace and his spirit is free.

To Pat who lost a friend like no other, a man he regarded as more like a brother.

Remember the laughs and the good times you had
Tricky micky's still with you in good times and bad

To Isla and Eileen, take comfort in knowing that in his four boys wee Mick's heart is still glowing.

A perfect wee gent and they're hard to find

GOD BLESS YOU WEE MAN YOU WERE ONE OF A KIND.

two years today

Hey Mick

two years today its so hard to believe that much time has passed and in a way it feels like a lifetime ago since i last saw and spoke to you if that makes any sense? i am asking like u will answer me - i so wish you could. I have so many questions there is a never ending why? in my head one day i will be-able to ask you. I really hope u have found the peace and happiness you couldnt get here its my one wish I cant bear to think that your still unhappy i hope you have forgiven yourself and are having fun with James. Look after him for me and my beautiful boys here. Life will never be the same again we try to move forward but every day is hard in its on way we talk about u all the time i hope u can hear us. I too have to try to move on eventually i am just not sure how yet. For the last two years i have been grieving for you that will continue for the rest of my life but i hope things will become easier with time. I hope u like our flowers we sent you for ur anniversary we will never forget you. so much has happened in the last two years have u any idea how many times i have gone to phone you to tell you things and then it hits me that i can't? its been so difficult for the boys too. Things have been made worse by the lack of support we have had from family members. anyway babe today will be so difficult but know that the boys and me are always thinking of u and always loving you until we meet again you will never walk alone

all our love Isla Cohen and Michael xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey babe

you will know this as your up there watching us, but wee michael has to have an op in aberdeen in the next month or two, he is on the emergency list, please make sure he is ok babe there is no way i could cope wiht losing him. you cant have him up there with you yet, he is way too young and such a loving little boy. I know you will watch over him and help him, we have all lost enough. I know when you were here we had loads of conversations surrounding this - i am just sad we cant do that anymore, no-one else understands like you do, u will understand what i am talking about. I just think its a shame some of your family havent taken the time to get to know wee Michael, (because of their feelings towards me, which is fine but i would still have let them see him and Cohen because i know thats what you wanted) Anyway we think of u every minute of the day we miss u so so much, watch over our darling beautiful boy babe, we will see you again one day, love you

Hi babe

sorry not been on for a wee while i couldnt face it, not much news here just that we all miss you so so much, Cohen is growin up so fast he says he will come on a light u a candle as he is really good on the computer now- both boys miss and love you so much, but they are doing fine.

i got your mobiles back from police eventually, worked out the mystery of your alleged girlfriend, turns out it was tracey your mate Baz's partner, whom i know. i have spoken to her and told her where ur bured as her and Baz were gutted they missedur funeral. we laughed about the girlfriend part, turns out if you put kisses in a text that means your going out with someone!!! Despite what others said i knew you didnt have a girlfriend for once!!!

Anyway i miss and love you so so much, i know your around and i really hope your ok babe, give James a big kiss from me
