Jonathan Glynn, 17,
(known as Jay in racing circles.) was thrown from his blue Citroen Saxo when it plunged down an
embankment near York at 4.50pm on Saturday 23rd September 2006.
His girlfriend of 18 months, Robyn Wishart, 15, was airlifted to hospital and is said to be stable
but critical. Her family, from Maltby Court, Colton, were today keeping vigil at the James Cook
University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
Jonathan and Robyn had been travelling on the A64, near the junction with the A19 Fulford
interchange, after a day out at Flamingo Land.
Jonathan, of Templegate Road, Colton, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other vehicles were
involved in the accident.
Jonathan is an apprentice mechanic and had scooped a string of awards and trophies. At the start of
this year, he was given a new bike as his 17th birthday present and aimed for the top in the 2006
Metzeler Racetec National Superstock Championship Cup.

Hello my darling, you know you're always in our thougthts, every minute, every day.
It was the inquest on your accident today. They said it was accidental death due fatigue. They are
sure that you were asleep my little man and you didn't know anything about it. You'd come in late in
the early hours of the morning and only had a few hours sleep. If only you had not had to get up
early to go out - you were too tired to drive.
There was nothing wrong with your car, it was in good condition, you were driving sensibly, you
weren't going very fast - about 54mph on a 70mph road. You had had a late night, little sleep, a fun
and full day at the park and then a long drive back. You'd just fallen asleep. I hope you were still
asleep when the accident happened because then you're last thoughts would have been about you're
happy day out and not of those last few minutes. It wasn't your fault babe, just a tragic accident.
We love you and we're missing you so much Jay, stay close and let me know you're OK and having fun
with Chris, Ashley, Jonathan, Carl and all your other new friends. Hope you're showing them how to
mix those basslines.
------------------------------
WE'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE THAT HAVE LEFT MESSAGES AND POEMS FOR JAY AND HIS FAMILY. JAY IS LOVED
BY SO MANY PEOPLE AND HE HAS SO MANY FRIENDS. HIS STAR SHINES BRIGHT AND HE IS CLOSE TO US ALL.
WE'VE MADE LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS FROM THE SITE AND YOUR MESSAGES HAVE BROUGHT US COMFORT DURING THIS
SAD TIME. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THOSE THAT HAVE LOST LOVED ONES, TAKE CARE LOVE CAROL, JOHN &
CARLY-ANN XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Lastnight
Hi Jonathan, my little man.
You know I was talking to you as I always do, well I was saying that lastnight when I went to fill up the car I came out of the station and met Greenie.
Jay, I haven't seen anyone for ages and on the 2nd Sept, exactly three years to the day when you ran in your last rally with Greenie and won (beating Mark and the others haha) what a coincidence it was to see him out of all of them. I think it was your little way of making sure we remembered your win and that you're still with us. We think of you every single day babe and will never stop.
I will put a pic of your trophy in your photo gallery and everyone can see it. You were over the moon when you came back telling us how you'd driven through rain and puddles, lost your exhaust and had to strap up the door because it had come loose and laughing saying how you'd wonthe more experienced drivers, with so called faster cars but you and Greenie beat em all and you loved it. We are so proud of you my little angel.
Keep racing those clouds, mixing your basslines and get in a few more rallies my darling.
Don't forget where I'm going next week, see you soon babe.
Nite nite, sweet dreams xx

I close my eyes and see the past
But time with you went much too fast,
The way your arms would reach for me,
And how your childhood used to be.
You were my precious, loving son,
But Heaven must have needed one.
For angels came and took your hand
And led you to God’s promised land.
I often long to see your face,
And no - one will ever take your place.
I also know you’re in God’s care,
And I will someday join you there.
And on that day we meet again,
I’ll hear you laugh and see you grin.
I close my eyes and I can see
A loving son who waits for me
In my thoughts & prayers. Love Liz, Stuart's mum xx
† MISS YOU SON †
Miss you son oh so very much
I only wish we could stay in touch
Miss you son more than you will ever know
God takes the best as he took you so it goes to show
Miss you son and it breaks my heart
Just to think that we are apart
Miss you son like flowers need the sun
Miss you my son as you will always be my number one
Miss you son and i loved you from the day you were born
Miss you son so much now my heart is torn
Miss you son and if i could have a wish once more
It would be for you my son to walk through the door.

30TH AUGUST 2009
~~~~~ Never Alone ~~~~~~
I feel you in the morning
When at first I awake
Your thought is with me
With each decision I make
You'd been around forever
Since the first breath I took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look
Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever
Although you've left
And now walk above
I'm never alone
I'm wrapped in your love
Enjoy now your long waited reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
Cause you live on in me even after you've gone
by Rodney Belcher.
♥
All our love my sweetheart xx
Love you my darling, missing you so much.
Hope you are having some great races with Craig n Chris n Guy n Ollie n Jonathan n Stuart and all of the other lads. Keep mixing your basslines my little one.
I love you so much and so wish I could turn back the clocks to bring you back.
Stay close my darling, sweet dreams xx

This morning when I awakened and saw the sun above,
I softly said good morning Lord, bless everyone I love.
Right away I thought of you, and said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you specially, and keep you in his care.
I thought of all the happiness a day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you, cause no one deserves it more.
♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

All our love my sweetheart xx
I hope you're mixing basslines and racing those clouds Jay.
We're missing you so much and wish you were here. I know you're close and watching down on us but we wish you were here, racing your bikes, your cars, mixing those basslines and shaking the house with your music.
I hear the bikes pass on a night and I think it's you on your way in. Or the car with it's music playing loud as they pass - I so wish it was you.
Keep mixing basslines for me and racing with the boys. We'll see you soon my darling.
I hope you like your flowers. I don't know where you're lights have gone but don't worry I'll get you some more. The rabbits are leaving the flowers for the time being, guess they must be happy with the food for now.
Remember, you are always in our hearts and our thoughts every single minute of every day. Stay close my babe.
Nite nite, sweet dreams darling xx

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST
Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again,
I crash on rocks of anger,
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
When waters are to swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past,
By swimming in Hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me
When I'm gone, release me, let me go;
I have so many things to see and do.
Don't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you love.
You can only guess how much that
You gave me in happiness.
I thank you for your love you each have shown.
But it is time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for me, grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comfort by trust.
It's only for a little while we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I'll come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
If you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home!"

FOR SUNDAY
Tears
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.

Mother & Son
We are connected my child and I
By an invisible cord not seen by the eye
It's not like the cord that connects you at birth
This cord can't be seen by any on earth
This cord does it work, right from the start
It binds us together, attached to my 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 is hard to describe
It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied
Its stronger than any cord man could create
It withstands the test, can hold any weight
And though you are gone, though you're not here with me
The cord is still there but 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 am thankful that God connects us this way
A mother and child death can't take away
In my thoughts and prayers. Love Liz, Stuart's mum xx
