Story

My Name is Mark Steven Larden i am 21 years old and from Killamarsh North East Derbyshire this Page has Been set up in loving  memory of our beloved son Joel steven Redfern-Larden who was Born Asleep on September  the 3rd 2007  me and my partner Janet Marie Redfern would like to raise as much as possible for such a great cause.

The money we raise goes towards helping other Bereaved couples who are going through the same Tragic times as we are, the charity  also provides them with great help and support  through Helplines and Special Sands Groups who are run by  groups of parents who have also Tragically lost there Little Angels to Stillbirth.

The Groups also hold Informal Meetings for Bereaved  Parents to attend  if they feel it would help them talk about the loss of there child i have been told by friends who have also lost babys That these Groups Really do make a Difference in trying to Help Bereaved Parents get back on there feet again it is My aim to raise as much money as possible for Sands in the Memory of my Precious little Star who is watching his Daddy from Heaven.

I am looking into setting my own Sands group up to help Bereaved parents like myself and my partner Janet I am doing this because i feel i could make a difference and i would love the oppurtunity to help other couples in there time of need in anyway that i can alot of events over the past month have put alot of things in my life into Perspective The Deaths of  My sons Joel and Kieran  have Really hit me Hard but i want to fight on in life in memory of them both they have and will always give me the strength to carry on and do positive things to help other people  because they are my Little Heroes they are an Inspiration to me and many others they will be forever in our Hearts and we will always love them.

I am asking you all as a parent who has lost 2 sons tragically in the space of 25 days to give Generously to this great Charity and i will support it for the Rest of my life in memory of my Little Lads and in the Memory of every other Parent who has been through what we have and suffered the heartache that these tragic events cause.

This Next Piecesof writing are from our Tribute Page that we set up in Loving Memory of our Little Angels wecould think of no better Tribute to My little than that we hope they like it  we love our little stars Joel & Kieran who are in Heaven god bless there little souls.

Our love and thoughts to you all xx 3rd Oct 2007
David and Tina (kieran & Joels family) from Birmingham relation: uncle and aunty
Mark and Janet, i am sat here with your uncle David after watching and reading such wonderful tributes from so many people, some strangers who have never ever met you. Tears are rolling down my face with memories of seeing Keiran in the incubator and remembering how tiny he looked, but what a fighter he was. When the phone call arrived to say he had joined his brother Joel in heaven we were devastated for you all - words cannot express how you must be feeling - but this sight is such a wonderful comfort and to hear that you are both doing so much to keep Kieran and Joel's memories alive - its wonderful. You are both blessed with kindness and thoughtfulness and we are so proud in what you are doing. God Bless to you both and to Leon. Uncle Dave and Tina xxxxxxxxx#
