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

☆GOD BLESS.☆

One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile.
Have a good weekend. Love from Liz & Stuart x
♥* *♥* Simply Put. *♥* *♥*
Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*
love Tricia (Joes mam)

God gave him grace -but the devil gave him style
He was only on loan - but for too short a while
God needed a star who could shine on above
with a pocket full of rainbows and a heart full of love.

Just for today I will try to live through the next 24 hours and not expect to
get over my sons death, but instead learn to live with it just one day at a time.
Just for today I will remember my son’s life, not his death, and bask in
the comfort of all those treasured days and moments we shared.
Just for today I will forgive all the family and friends who didn't help or
comfort me the way I needed them to. They truly did not know how.
Just for today I will smile no matter how much I hurt on the inside, for
maybe if I smile a little, my heart will soften and I will begin to heal.
Just for today I will reach out to comfort a relative or friend of my son,
for they are hurting too, and perhaps we can comfort each other.
Just for today I will free myself from my self-inflicted burden of guilt, for
deep in my heart I know if there was anything in this world I could have done to save my son from death, I would have done it.
Just for today I will honour my son’s memory by doing something with another child because I know that would have made my own child proud.
Just for today I will offer my hand in friendship to another bereaved parent,
for I do know how they feel.
Just for today when my heart feels like breaking, I will stop and remember
that grief is the price we pay for loving and the only reason I hurt is
because I had the privilege of loving so much.
Just for today I will not compare myself with others. I am fortunate to be
who I am and to have had my son for as long as I did.
Just for today I will allow myself to be happy, for I know that I am not
deserting him by living on.
Just for today I will accept that I did not die when my son did, my life
did go on, and I am the only one who can make that life worthwhile once more.
Just for Today
Hello, Old Friend,
Oh, yes, you know
I lost my child a while ago.
No, no please
Don’t look away
And change the subject
It’s ok.
You see, at first I couldn’t feel,
It took so long, but now it’s real.
I hurt so much inside you see
I need to talk,
Come sit with me?
You see, I was numb for so very long,
And people said, “My, she is so strong.”
They did not know I couldn’t feel,
My broken heart made all unreal.
But then one day, as I awoke
I clutched my chest, began to choke,
Such a scream, such a wail,
Broke from me…
My child! My child!
The horror of reality.
But everyone has moved on, you see,
everyone except for me.
Now, when I need friends most of all,
Between us there now stands a wall.
My pain is more than they can bear,
When I mention my child,
I see their blank stare.
“But I thought you were over it,”
Their eyes seem to say,
No, no, I can’t listen to this, not today.
So I smile and pretend, and say, “Oh, I’m ok”.
But inside I am crying, as I turn away.
And so my old friend, I shall paint on a smile,
As I have from the start,
You never knowing all the while,
All I’ve just said to you in my heart.
Always in my thoughts and prayers. Love from Liz & Stuart x

Love And Miss You Lots

I miss the child I cannot see
And long for him to be with me.
There is no way to touch, it seems,
Save when I see him in my dreams.
But, within my heart, there is a place
Where I can see his smiling face.
This child that has gone out of sight,
Still lives today in bright sunlight.
He walks among the trees, at break of day.
Through the grass, he makes his way,
Laughing and smiling as he walks
And to all his family he still talks.
Within my heart, there is no time,
No clocks to tick, chirp or chime.
There are no hours, days or years,
Deep within my heart, there are no tears.
For all is there as it was then,
A young boy gone, lives again.
Loved and remembered every day Jay.
Love from Liz Stuart Maxwell's mum x
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
I sit beside the telephone
and wait for you to call
the telephone stays silent
and my tears begin to fall.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
With each day that passes by
and still no call from you
I want to keep believing that
you've had too much to do.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
I tell myself tomorrow
you'll find the time to phone
to let me know you just popped out
and now you're back at home.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
We talked for hours on the phone
we covered all the years
about our childhood memories
that brought laughter and some tears.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
You remembered many things
you had so much to say
but you forgot to tell me
that you had to go away.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
You didn't leave a number
for the place that you would be
but if they give you messages
you'll hear this one from me.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
If our phone calls end now
because we have to part
all the love I have for you
will never leave my heart.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
Love from Liz & Stuart Maxwell x
