Gaynor Batty was the much treasured daughter of George and June, and a much loved big sister to
Donna, Peter and Melissa. She lived in Sunderland, and attended the same school as myself back in
the 80's, St Anthony's RC school.
Gaynor was a year or two below me, but she always used to come up and chat to me in the school yard.
She was so friendly and loving and had a wonderful sense of humour. I guess I had a soft spot for
her and took her under my wing a little and I enjoyed her chats. She had lots of friends who adored
her. She was so vibrant and just had such a sparkle about her! She was so full of life and had so
much that she could have gone on to do!
Sadly Gaynor's life was tragically taken from her! She was raped and strangled after visiting
Crowtree Leisure Centre on 20th December 1988. She was only 14 years old! I remember Sister Aelred
my head of year, announced what had happened in assembly after we returned to school after the
Christmas holidays. Everyone was devastated that this could happen to her.
Her beaten body was found on the top level of a Sunderland multi-storey car park and a twenty year
old local man was arrested and charged with her murder and given 20 years in prison. He has since
tried to appeal for release. Gaynor's family will always be sentenced to a lifetime of pain.
Along with many, Gaynor's family are appealing to many to sign the Enough is Enough petition for
"Life to mean Life"!
Recently in January this year, my brother-in-law David McCully also had his life cruelly snatched
away so I feel so passionately about the cause!
God bless you Gaynor. Miss you hun.
*IMPORTANT NOTE TO GAYNOR'S FAMILY*
I hope that you do not mind that I have made this memorial for Gaynor, because she was such a
wonderful person and I know she will always be remembered and loved by everyone who knew her!
The memorial belongs to you, and at any time if you wish the admin details of the page to take over
the upkeep, please let me know and I will rightfully hand them over to you immediately. In the
meantime, I will happily look after the memorial with your blessing.
God bless you all

hugs
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.
all my love from cher xxx

CHRISTMAS PRAYER
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
As we draw to the end of another year,
We think of the ones that we hold so dear;
We pause to give thanks for our friends so true,
And ask God to bless them, the old and new.
We hold up each loved one before His Throne
And ask Him to comfort the ones alone;
For those who have lost someone they hold dear,
We ask Him to strengthen and hold them near.
For those who have prospered, with new joys to savour,
We ask God continues to show them His favour.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
And those with new babies, or newly wed,
We ask Him to smooth out the path ahead;
For those who are ill and can barely stand,
We ask for the touch of His healing hand.
For those with new homes, with new jobs and new stress,
We ask Him to crown all their plans with success.
For those who have dreams and think, 'It's now or never,'
We ask Him to bless all that they should endeavour .
For those who are facing an uphill climb,
We ask Him to carry them through this time.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
As we come to the start of a brand new year,
We pray for the ones that we hold so dear.
We ask that each one will be soundly blest,
To taste of His goodness and know His best;
For angels to watch o'er them day and night,
For miracles, blessings and sheer delight!
We ask for the gifts that the world can't buy:
A glimpse at the wonders of Heaven on high,
Contentment and joy till the Lord comes again,
This we ask for our friends, in His Name, Amen.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas
And a happy new year 2009 love from cher xxxxx
