This memorial website was created to remember our Loved one and Friend Daniel Joseph Coorey who was born in Australia on May 8, 1986 and passed away on October 19, 2006. You will live forever in our memories and hearts. We are here for each other as a circle of family and friends and this website is to share our memories and support each other in our sorrow of losing a son, friend, grandson, cousin and nephew....
He is still here in my heart and mind,
still making me laugh cause His stories live on.
I hold him in my thoughts and I can feel him.
I feel him and this gives me strength and courage.
The tears I have cried for him could flood the earth,
and I know God has wiped each one away.
For my son, I promise this,
I will always hold him in my heart.
I promise I will be missing
him everyday till the end of my time,
but this is not my end and I can't hold my head
underwater....I need to breathe.
I need to love and miss him, but I also need to live
because through me he will live, through me
he will still laugh and love, through me
he will still sing and dance, through me
he will still hug and kiss.
He will forever be in my heart,
he will forever be my son,
I am going to miss his handsome face
I think of him and wonder why?
I might cry or I might smile,
but at the end of the day I am one day closer to my Dan....

SMILE BECAUSE HE LIVED
I CAN SHED TEARS THAT DANIEL IS GONE,
OR I CAN SMILE BECAUSE HE LIVED,
I CAN CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY THAT HE'LL COME BACK,
OR I CAN OPEN MY EYES AND SEE ALL THAT HE HAS LEFT.
MY HEART CAN BE EMPTY BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE HIM,
OR I CAN BE FULL OF THE LOVE THAT WE SHARED.
I CAN TURN MY BACK ON TOMORROW AND LIVE YESTERDAY,
OR I CAN BE BLESSED FOR TOMORROW BECAUSE OF YESTERDAY.
I CAN REMEMBER DANIEL AND ONLY THAT HE IS GONE,
OR I CAN CHERISH HIS MEMORY AND LET IT LIVE ON.
I CAN CRY AND CLOSE MY HEART, BE EMPTY AND TURN BACK,
OR I CAN DO WHAT DANIEL WOULD WANT:
SMILE~OPEN MY EYES~CONTINUE TO LOVE AND GO ON~
SMILE BECAUSE YOU LIVED, DANIEL~~~
...............ALWAYS LOVING YOU SWEETHEART,
YOUR MUM~
~LOVE RULES~
"Rainbows appear after mighty storms,
when things look their very worst.
Just when the skies are darkest gray,
look for the rainbow first.
The rainbow is a sign of God's promise,
that He will guide us through all our troubles,
no matter what their form.
When you feel battered by life's storms,
and you are filled with doubt and dismay;
just remember God's rainbow is coming,
it's only a prayer away"
MY CHILD
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked alot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious Son.....
In tears I saw you sinking
I watched you fade away.
You suffered much in silence
you fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage.
Your spirit did not bend
and still you kept on fighting until the very end.
God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me".
So when I saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain.
I could not wish you back to suffer that again.
~A MOTHER'S LOVE~
"A Mother's Love is special, It's present every day. A gift came down from Heaven that God has sent our way. Her job is never ending, she's there all day and night, to be there for her children, and be their brightest Light. Her thoughts are with them always, even if they are far apart. Her children have a special place deep down inside her heart. Mother's are a special Gift~ A Gift from up above. This world would be so empty without a Mother's Love."
....................By T. Entzminger
A mother's child is every breath that she takes,
walking hand in hand, they are every step that
she makes.And as their steps will grow
to strides, still a child, in mother's eyes.
Every ache and pain they shall feel,
mother will share and with love she will kneel.
she will pray to God to take care of her child,
to protect and guide them through every mile.
Her child is the very core of her soul,
Weather a baby in arms or an adult
they're love will forever grow.
For to a mother, her child she ALWAYS will stay.
A real mother's love will never fade away~
