Andy ( as he was known to me ,and most of his friends). Was an intelligent , quietly witty , caring individual . He lit up the lives of more people than i'd possibly be able to mention . Sadly this was something he was painfully unaware of , as he took his own life aged only 30 years .
I had known Andy for around 2 and a half years , and was captivated by his boyish good looks ,his cheeky banter . And his vulnerable shyness around me ,at least to begin with . Andy had many interests amongst these were Football , rock and indie music , the supernatural and DARTS !!!! He took pleasure from being involved in a paranormal resurch group , He was emmensely proud of his clairvoyant abilities . Andy Hailed from Northamptonshire originally and had lived in the westcountry for not that many years . Andy had a loving upbringing and was close to his Mum and Dad , and brothers and sisters . He kept in regular contact with them by phone .
Both myself and others will say of Andy , he had a hilarious sense of humour , and could mimic comedians to a tee . Much to the amusement of all who knew him .
All that remains to be said of Andy , from mine and my childrens perspective he was loved ,cared about and his company very much enjoyed . I think i'm right in saying others will agree ,that his passing leaves a huge void which will never be filled in all of our lives . We will grow , we will remain ,but we will NEVER forget you , ANDREW BARNETT . Shining brightly amongst the stars like a supernova in the song you loved so much ,this is how i'll remember you .

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to Me".
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best

For the birthday you sadly never reached

No cake or candles here today
Or presents for you to open
Just love from friends who want to say
Happy Birthday, and that we're hoping
Somehow you can see and know
That we have not forgotten you
That we still remember, even though
You've departed from our view
And if you see us here below
And wonder why we care
It's just because we want to show
That a part of you is still here
You live within each memory's heart
And so you remain, though we're apart

I miss your laughter, fun, and gentleness.
I miss the things I used to do for you.
I miss the time, now filled with emptiness,
When each day was a stage for something new.
I miss your love, though mine for you remains,
A passion with no outlet to the sea,
A teardrop in a desert, that contains
What's left of my maternal ecstasy.
I miss your presence, like a silent chord
That anchored even solitude in grace.
I miss, for my love's labor, the reward
Of seeing some small pleasure in your face.
All these I miss, and yet they are all here
Within my heart, far more than I can bear
With Love Always

I think of you constantly

Its christmas day Andy , the day we planned together , the kids loved the toys and games we picked them . They woke me at 5 am , opened their stockings and then presents ,we have had our christmas dinner . All thats missing is you ! I know you werent really big on xmas it was more of an anticlimax than anything for you . But now youre gone and all we have is memories of the time spent together , a lot of these include shopping trips .! Which also werent your favouite activity . I havn't cried today (yet) its been close though a fair few times . Its just me and the kids here ,and your absence is a gaping hole in the family . But the kids are still smiling and are having a great time . I miss you though ,more than words can say . Id give anything for you to be here with me . But i know that cannot be so suffice to say you're in my heart and mind and forever will be . Merry christmas in heaven ,my darling . I love you so much xxxxx

A pair of wings and a sparkling halo is a sign of an angle from up above an angle can pass in to heaven so open your wings and follow on up through the gates of heaven

The Final Flight

For Andy ,

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
