Stopped playing, March 23rd .
Our darling son and brother, you had a chest infection, the same as many times before. I prepared you toast and banana as dad tidied you room, I kissed you goodnight. We were laughing and planning ahead, talking about the 'system of a down' concert you were going to...... In the morning you had gone......... We never got to say good bye. One last time Nick 'night night sleep tight darling, don't let the bed bugs bite' You would always reply, 'If they do I will bite their bums'
