you'll be up in heaven playing football with the legends of the game remember to save me a place in the line-up i will see you one day pal you will never be forgotten X X X Love David McBeth

When we lived in Oswald Road, Moordown, you used to call at our house to see Sarah. I remember you because of your lovely big eyes - just like an owls, and so I nick named you barney. You were such a lovely lad, it was never too much trouble for you to stand and chat to me, even if Sarah wasn't at home! Sleep tight my sweet, we will always remember you, much love, SARAH'S MUM.

This has come as so much of a shock. My brother was a friend of yours - last night he was telling me about you. About how he's known you since he was four, sat next to you in class...and how much of a nice guy you were. When you hear about this kind of thing happening in other major towns and cities, you never think that it's going to happen here, you never think it'll happen to someone you know. Hearing about this and hearing about what a good guy you were just makes it all suddenly come crashing home. We don't live forever and we just need to (and, please, everyone else - excuse what I'm about to say) live everyday as if it were our last. It puts all of life's little problems way into perspective. RIP Nathan - you will be missed. xxx

Out of such sadness has come a wonderful gift for 4 other people. I can not begin to know how much pain the family are going through right now but I want to say that I think you are amazing for making a decision at such a terrible time and for the wonderful chance you have given others through donating. Your sons memory will live on forever, godbless you. ****

Sad to hear of the young man's untimely death outside a sandwhich bar in Bournemouth. I did not know the young man but what i have read he was a great guy who did not deserve this. Not sure how and why he died but lets hope the people who did it are punished.
RIP young man and i am sure heaven is a better place for you being there.
God Bless
