SHUTTLEWORTH-AITKEN, Harley John Hewson

28.4.2007 - 2.1.2015

Peacefully at home, after a long courageous battle, with his loving family surrounding him.

Dearly loved son of Melissa and step-son of Aaron, loved brother of Lilly-Rose, loved grandson of Lee and Andrew, Laurie and Teressa, and the late Nana Andrea, loved Great-grandson, a very much loved nephew of his Aunty Amy and all his Aunts and Uncles, and a loved cousin to all his cuzzies.

Melissa and family thank EVERYONE who loved and knew Harley.

God saw you getting tired
and cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
and whispered come to me

You didn't deserve what you went through,
so he gave you a rest
God’s garden must be beautiful,
he only takes the best

And when I saw you sleeping
so peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
to suffer that again.

“Love you little man”

SHUTTLEWORTH-AITKEN, Harley John Hewson,

You were the centre of our world,
a grandson held so dear,
but now that world is shattered,
and you’re no longer here.

But all you need to know today,
is how much joy you brought,
you brightened every moment,
though your life was far too short.

You were loved completely,
from the day that you were born,
and no one could imagine,
such a dreadful day would dawn.

But memories are wonderful,
and though they still bring pain,
they give us hope and keep us strong,
until we meet again...

Love Nana and Grandad Drew
