Nick Adams was 24 when he died and he died from kidney cancer on the 17th August 2007. He used to
run a local pub called the MARS bar which he ran with his dad Symon Adams and his mum Sandi Adams.
He lived in the flat above it he was lovely and had room in his heart for everyone. He was very kind
and caring. It kills me to thing that someone so special who never did anything wrong could be took
away from us so early in life.
The only thing that makes me feel better about Nick's death is that he touched so many people. We
spent a lot of time raising money to get the drugs he need to keep him with us longer. Now we are
raising money for Kidney Cancer UK and projects which were connected to his illness. Nick was very
brave even when facing something that people a lot older than him can't cope with.
I know how much everyone misses him especially my mum and dad. He ment so much to so many people our
grandparents who he was so close to and his friends especially storm and alex who spent so much time
with him before and during his illness. My daughter Charlie will always know who her uncle was and
how great he was. I'm just glad he got to see her before he died. I will always love Nick and I will
never feel better about it but I'm just glad I've got the rest of my family to lean on.
my son
sandi adams (mother)
Nick was my son and where do you start to try to tell anyone what that means to me.Unless you knew
him you cant understand what kind of person he was.He was like a bright light that shone continually
and drew everyone to him.Before he got the cancer he thought that life was for ever and he lived
hard played hard and helped anyone he could.When we found out he was going to die i didnt know how
we could carry on but he dealt with it like anything else he did by putting others first.No one can
imagine what pain he went through as the disease progressed and ravaged every part of him but he
fought for his life for our sakes.We were always close but in those last few months we spent more
quality time than most people do in their whole lives and i will always be grateful for that time.He
died the day after my birthday which i'm sure he was holding out for and he was in my arms when he
slipped away.Words are not enough to say how much i miss him he was my rock and my best friend as
well as my son but i know he is pain free now and that is more important than my loss so untill we
meet again i will have to make do with memories of what a wonderful person he was my son nick
MY LAD
SYMON ADAMS (DAD)
NICK WAS MY SON , WHO I MISS VERY MUCH HE DIED OF KIDNEY CANCER AT THE AGE OF 24 .i GAVE UP MY JOB
TO LOOK AFTER HIM FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT WAS SO HORRIBLE AND PAINFUL TO WATCH HIM BE SICK AND IN
LOTS OF PAIN ALL THE TIME AND I COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT I FELT SO HELPLESS IF I COULD HAVE CHANGED
PLACES WITH HIM I WOULD HAVE AND STILL NOW IF HE COULD COME BACK I WOULD TAKE HIS PLACE.NICK WAS
AVERY STRONG LAD HE DID WELL TO GET AS FAR AS HE DID BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP LONG BEFORE HE
DID.LIFE IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HIM IT DOESNT SEEM REAL THAT I WILL NEVER TALK TO HIM OR SEE HIM
AGAIN.THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEFT ARE MEMORIES OF HIM.NICK HAD ALOT OF FRIENDS WHO MISS HIM ALSO HE
HAD ALOT OF TIME FOR OTHER PEOPLE AND WAS VERY CLOSE TO IS MUM SANDI
NICK MISS YOU LOADS SON LOTS OF LOVE DAD XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX WE WILL MEET AGAIN SOON
Anyone visiting this site whether they knew Nick or not is welcome to add a message or light a
candle thank you.
Hi sweetheart,just to let you know your nephew has arrived today Nick Stephen Adams he doesn't take after you though he was over 12 pounds unlike your scrawny 4 lbs 8 oz.It does seem quite strange calling him Nick but in a nice way i know you wouldn't have expected anything less would you.I have just had to go to a conference in london for 2 days and i was given an award for person who has survived over adversity and helped others.Well i dont know about helping others but i think i have survived over adversity i watched a programme today about a woman who's daughter died 8 years ago and she said she didn't think she had gotten over her death but more had found a way of living with it and i think that is a perfect way to describe it.Some days it almost feels like too much to bear but then you find a way of tricking your mind into thinking of something nice to fill the gap.Whilst i was in london our coach passed by Guys hospital and all the memories flooded back of that day we spent there and as painful as it was at least i have memories.There is so many things that remind me of you most hurt like hell but i open my phone and see you smiling at me and i can live with it.I hope you know how we all miss you and of all the things that are happening since you left to us all.It is your dads birthday next week and i remember all those birthday parties we had for him at the pub oh how drunk did he get.Well Nick im going to get to bed now as didn't get much sleep yesterday with travelling so hope to see you in my dreams and love as always darling xxxxxlove mum xxxxxx
I know you cried a fountain
Because I went away
I know that you reach out for me
Every single day.
I know that there’s not many songs
that you can bear to hear
that do not make you feel so sad
and want me to be near.
Please don’t cry a fountain
Because I’m not there
I’m here beside you every day
I’m here and know you care.
I’m here with every breath you take
and every night when you’re asleep
I place a kiss upon your forehead
My love is yours to keep.
Oh no mum I am not dead
There is no such thing you know
I am living an angels heavenly life
And I am here to prove it so.
When my body grew so tired
and my heart was beating slow
And my legs refused to move
I just knew it was my time to go.
Please don’t cry a fountain mum
I promise to leave you never
Though my earthly body’s gone
I’m still here with you forever.
Love and God Bless

TO LOSE SOMEONE CLOSE
♥.•ï¿½ï¿½•.♥.•ï¿½ï¿½•. ♥.•ï¿½ï¿½•.♥♥.&b ull;��•.♥.•ï¿½ �•. ♥
♥ To lose someone you love is hard to bear
To lose your child is beyond compare
Whether the child is a daughter or son
Each one of them is a precious one ♥
♥ Your children can never be replaced
Every one of them has their own special place
Your heart is heavy it feels like lead
You don’t want to believe your child is dead ♥
♥ You don’t think the pain will ever go away
No matter what other people may say
No one knows just what to say to you
You need their help to see you through ♥
♥ Life it seems so unfair
You wish your child could still be there
Your memories fill your heart and head
You remember all the things they said ♥
♥ Life is for living and you must go on
You pretend each day they have not gone
Until you meet them once again
You will learn to live through this terrible pain

My Heart My Hand, For you xxz
When you are feeling lost and all alone;
as though your world is falling apart.
I will take you gently by the hand,
and hold you safely with my heart.
I will walk with you, hand in hand,
in your search for a better tomorrow.
And give you all I have within my heart,
to chase away your tears of sorrow.
I will not let go, but hold you close,
so we can find the strength of two.
No matter where your journey takes us,
together, we will make it through.
My heart will be your shining light,
as it disperses the darkness with my love.
And my hand will hold you in a prayer,
found in our faith, with the Lord above.
I will give to you my heart, my hand,
whenever life fills you with despair.
For no matter where I find myself,
you can always trust me, to be there.
sending my love from carol stewart quinn mum xxx god bless you xxxx
For all the seeds of love You helped sow
And for all the times You helped them grow
For all the joy You brought to me
And for all the fun of your company
For all those flowers You carefully chose
For each and every carnation or rose
For all the drawings You did for me
And little notes You left for me to see
For all the times You sang a song
For your joyful chatter as we walked along
For all the stories and poems You did write
And for all the laughter each day and night
For all the kisses and cuddles You shared
And for all the times You showed You cared
For all the rainbows you brought after a storm
And for all the memories that now keep me warm
For all You did each and every day
And for all Your love along the way
For all the grey skies You made blue
Thank You Nick, this rose is for You

No time to say goodbye,

And only God can tell us why.

We are connected, my child and I,
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.
It’s not like the cord that connects us at birth,
this cord can’t be seen by any on earth.
This cord does its work right from the start,
it binds us together, attached by the heart
I know that it’s there, though no one can see
this invisible cord, from my child to me.
The strength of this cord,
it’s hard to describe,
it can’t be destroyed, it can’t be denied.
It’s stronger than any cord man could create;
it withstands the test, can hold any weight.
And though you are gone and you’re not here with me,
the cord is still there though no one can see.
It pulls at my heart, I am bruised, I am sore,
but this cord is my lifeline as never before.
I’m thankful that God connects us this way,
a mother and child…Death can’t take it away.
love as always mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We'll only remember the good things
Like the day when our baby was born.
How he filled all our lives with such pleasure,
Never knowing that now we would mourn.
We'll only remember the good days,
Like the day when he ran to our arms
And he flashed his big smile so endearing
And displayed his unique baby charms.
We'll only remember the good things
Like the presents he wrapped with his love
And presented his heart to his parents
Like a gift straight from heaven above.
We'll only remember the fun times
When our family would gather as one,
And our laughter would fill all our household
At the antics of him, our dear son.
So today though we mourn at his passing
And we wipe sorrow's tears from our eyes,
We'll remember this son whom God gave us
And brought so much joy to our lives.
