********************To all my GTS friends, Thank you to you all for the support i have recieved over the past 12 months since i set up Martins site. It has helped me to cope a little bit better without the love of my life being around anymore.. Love sent to you all as always. ********************
Martin Andrew Brooks was born on 9th October 1960. He was taken from us on 25th July 2007 at the age of 46. He left behind his wife Tracey, children Andrew, Joanne, Daniel, Michelle and Simon and his little dog Jack. He has three grandchildren Mya (daughter of Jo) Marshall and Chelsea-Leigh (children of Dan) His mum Ruth lives in Australia as does his sister Alison and her daughter Els. His dad Mick lives in Maidstone with his wife Hazel. His brother Vincent lives in Stockport with his wife Gail and two daughters Samantha and Nichola.
Martin was diagnosed in March 2007 with Glioblastoma multiforme. This is a grade four brain tumor which is agressive. I thought Martin was invincible and would live til he was at least in his nineties. He was never ill and never took time off work. So this was a complete shock to all of us. Especially when I looked up what he had on the Internet and all the sites say life expectancy without treatment is 3 months and with treatment early enough most live for six to twelve months and a rare few will live up to 2 years. Nobody has lived for more than 2 years with this type of Brain Tumor. We knew that by the time they had decided what sort of tumor he had got there was little chance of him living for six months. He was already without movement to the right side of his body. The tumor had paralised him quite quickly
Martin was given palliative radio therapy and died 5 months after his first symptom appeared.
Martin was 6ft 2 tall with blue/grey eyes and was very much the gentle giant. His hobbies were his computers and his motorbikes and his landrovers. He was a HGV driver and worked for lots of different companies. The last one of which was Pepsico driving Walkers Crisp lorries. He drove their lorries for the past five years. When I first started seeing Martin he was a Taxi driver for Jetline taxis. He always liked to drive and moving up to lorries seemed the natural thing for him. He was a jack of all trades who would fix anything for anyone. Most of his mates had called on him at least once to help them fix something or other. He loved his motorbikes and his Suzuki Bandit was his favourite. He rode his motorbikes in all weathers and use to laugh at some of his mates who put their bikes away for the winter. He would call them 'the fair weather bikers'. He enjoyed his biking hols to Spain with other biker buds. He loved playing in the mud on the weekend in his landy along with other landy owners and would always say the muddier the better.
Martin loved camping and aswell as his trips to Spain with friends on their motorbikes (most of them were camping trips), he would take the family on camping trips to anywhere that took his fancy. Cornwall was a popular one as well as Hunstanton. We as a family have decided to do one family camping trip a year in honour of Martin.
We had so many plans for the future and was going to do lots of travelling around the world to see all the things we dreamt of once our youngest had turned 18. Sadly Martin died when Simon was 17 and a half. I will do some of the travelling we dreamt of. Maybe Simon will join me on some of them.
Martin is very much loved and missed by all his family and his friends.

I wrote this for you Martin, hope you like it.


I have a husband who I love so dear
I wish with all my heart that he was still here
I take him fresh flowers to the place where he lay
and tell him I love him more each and every day

He is the father of 5 kids who we love
he is watching them from his new home above
his grandkids look up and blow him a kiss
he is now an angel who we all love and miss

He is up in heaven a peaceful place
my husband the angel with a smiling face
waiting for me to knock on heavens door
there i will be with my angel for ever more


Please light a candle or leave a tribute if you are passing by.
Anybody wishing to add pictures to Martins gallery is more than welcome.

~♥ With Love ♥~

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright

Christmas Without You

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.

An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.

There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.

No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

~ Pamela Hall~

A Merry Christmas To You And Your Angels.....

.….\__/ Special


Monday
â„
May the meaning of Christmas
Be deeper, its friendships stronger,
And its hopes brighter
As it comes to you this year.

Tuesday
â„
As we prepare for Christmas,
Our thoughts will be of you,
You always made our Christmas’s,
The happiest we ever knew.

Wednesday
â„
We'll try our best to celebrate
The birth of Christ our King,
But in our hearts we realise
We've lost our everything.

For Thursday
â„
At Christmas-tide the open hand
Scatters its bounty o'er sea and land,
And none are left to grieve alone,
For Love is heaven and claims its own.

Friday
â„
⋱ ⋮ ⋰A Christmas Wish⋱ ⋮ ⋰
â„
Christmas tree's begin appearing
Cards will follow on
Trimmings all around us
And we begin to have Christmas Fun
â„
Greetings are being sent to us
But for some its just to hard
As simple as it sounds
They cant even send a card
â„
A time for celebrating
To send a Christmas Cheer
But for some its time for wishing
Their Loved ones could just be near
â„
By Lisa Heritage

Christmas Eve
â„
Christmas without you here with me,
Can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
One so precious, who has your name.

But, I have had the precious gift of you,
And the memories and love, will remain.

Christmas Day
â„
We are sad within our memory
And lonely, this Christmas Day,
For the ones we loved so dearly,
Have forever been called away.
â„
We think of them in silence,
No eye may see us weep.
But many silent tears are shed,
When others are asleep.
