DEVLIN Dev Gerard STABBED TO DEATH (15th Anniversary) Treasured memories of a beautiful brave big son whose life was taken when evil hands put a knife in his back as he stood alone unarmed protecting his family. To no longer see your face breaks me everyday so suddenly you were taken and I didn’t get to say how much I loved you and that you were my life, the hurt I felt when you died cut me like a knife, I’ll never be complete again, I never will be free from the grief a solid pain deep inside me. I wear a mask of coping but I’m in complete despair, I cannot mend what’s broken, my heart’s beyond repair. I’ll smile if I have to but that is just my mask and pretend that I’m okay when people kindly ask I cannot be happy it’s something that I lack I never will be whole again because you’re never coming back. A mother gives her child life and love unlike no other and when that life is taken she becomes a grieving mother. As I struggle with my heartache on the day I lost you I pray to God to give me strength to get me through. You were not only our son you were our world. Always and forever sadly missed, loved and remembered by your heartbroken mum, dad and sisters Jacqueline, Trisha, Jennifer and (Ma Baker) RIP Gerard xxx. Thy will be done
