Siobhan Shearer, or Chevie as we knew her, lost her fight against cancer on her 10th birthday 2007.
Chevie fought this illness with more courage and dignity than I have ever seen in anyone. She never
complained about the pain she was in, or the restrictions her treatment put upon her. Chevie always
had a smile on her face, and hated anyone being sad. She could not bear to see anyone cry, and would
tell anyone off who was sad around her.
Chevie lived in Aberdeen, Scotland, with her parents Alex and Leeanne, and her wee brother Morgan.
Chevie and Morgan were best friends as well as brother and sister, and losing Chevie has probably
affected Morgie more than any of us. He misses her terribly, as do we all.
Chevie, Morgan and I would watch SpongeBob Squarepants together for hours, and as a result,
SpongeBob has become a very big part of my life. He and Patrick Star bring me so much pleasure, as
they bring back many happy memories of the laughter we three shared whilst watching the shows.
I first met Chevie and her family when her illness was mentioned on a bikers chat forum I am a
member of. My friend Gary and I decided to hold a raffle and book a band in a pub to raise funds for
a holiday in Florida that the family were hoping to go on.
The 'pub' idea esculated into a weekend rally, but sadly Chevie never got to go on her holiday.
Before she passed away, Chevie asked me to make a promise that I would help other children and thier
families who were going through what Chevie and her family were suffering. In honour of Siobhan,
Gary and I set up a fundraising project to do just that.
In Chevie's memory, we now hold all kinds of fundraising events, and since Chevie passed in March
2007, the Siobhanathon project has raised nearly £5000, and has helped 3 more children to get thier
dream.
Please check out our website at www.siobhanathon.co.uk to see what Chevie has inspired Gary and I to
do.
The generosity of the bikers and public who have helped us keep the promise we made to Siobhan
alive, has been tremendous.
We thank each and eveyone of you..........
There is not a day goes by when I do not think of Chevie, and feel sad that she is no longer here. I
miss her smile, her great sense of humour and her hugs.
Siobhan in my inspiration, my sunshine and my happiest thought.
Whenever I am down, feel angry or sad, I think of Chevie. Her strength and courage has pulled me
through so much, and I feel honoured to have known such a beautiful person, and I feel cheated that
she was taken far too soon.
I also thank Chevie for the chance to meet her family, who have become very good and dear friends of
mine.
Rest in peace sweet Siobhan.
I love and miss you, always.

Missing you so very much!!!
Hi toot's, It's so very true Chevie I do still miss you very much...
I was looking through some pics of you this weekend and I had to stop as it hurts me so very much when I look at them, It's not like the ones I have all over the house... I see them everyday and I know what I'm looking at, they're easy to look at as they have always been there but when I look through the ones that I want to sort out and see your smile in them to see you so very happy just breaks my heart to see you there and remember why we took that pic of you and to know that I'll never get another one of you it just upsets me so very much....
I had Kat up staying this weekend while your Dad's away, it's good to have her here, she was crying too as she is missing you heaps much more than people know... I know that she just loved to see you, she was talking about the things that she rememberd about you, it was good to hear the things that stuck in her mind and most of the things that she talked about made her laugh and cry at the same time.
Chevie I will always have you in my heart and thoughts no matter what, you'll be with me... I will get round to sorting that pics out, I just find it very hard, I love to look at your pics in one hand and hate it in another if that makes sence to you?
Stay safe hunni and come into my dreams and let me know that your 'fine'.
Your Mummy's little angel sent from above just for me to love xoxo always in my heart & thoughts too oxox
Hi toot's....
Hi toot's
Hope your fine and having a good time up there with all the other Angels?
Well as you know we've been a way for a weeks break, It's been really good spending time with Dad Morg and Emily.. With no work to get in the way... Dad's been needing a break, He's been working very hard. The weather has been really good, I've got myself a bit red with the sun. We're going upto Newcastle in the morning, I'm looking forward to that not to sure if Dad is as he said that he'd buy me a Betty Boop figure... So I canna wait to see which one I get... And he said that he'd also take us into Nando's... I love Nando's and I know that you too would like it...
The break has been nice but to be really honest with you Chevie it's just not the same without you... I keep thinking of our last Holiday in that Shally kinda house thing... Do you remember the one I'm going on about? Down in Wales... Do you remember the cat teddy that Dad bought you? You lost it on the river bank... Dad had to go back to the shop and get you another one just like it the next day... I remember it very well, Your smiling face you looked so happy.
I have thought of you alot and it goes without saying hunni I miss you so very much and some things infact most thing just are not the same no matter how hard you try, It just dont feel right as there is something missing and that's you.... Your missing in my life and I hate the fact that you wont be back here with me to come on Holidays with us to do things just to have fun...
Chevie I hope that you do know that I do think of you everyday and wish with all my heart that your fine wherever you are... But I do hope that you spend most of your time with me? I wish you could let me know that you were beside me, I'd love to feel you next to me... Chevie I miss you and love you so so so very much I cant wait to see you and I know that I will, It's just going to take a while... Unless you visit me in my dreams... So please do...
You need to remember that Your Mummy's little Angel sent from above just for me to love xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Hi toot's...
Hi toot's,
As you know we are giong away for a week, Not to far but far enough away from your housie... But Chevie I do think that you'll be with us any way so it wont matter eh?
Nana said that she'll be up to your housie to sort it for me and you... I've gave her a few things to put up after Easter... So hopefully it'll be ok, what I gave her?
Any way I'm just waiting for Dad to come in then we'll be going so you make sure that your suitcase is packed properly and that you've got all you need with you... I know that I've got you with me always no matter where I go in the world, You'll always be with me...
I love you Chev and I'm always thinking of you no matter what.. Love hugs and kisses to you all the time... xoxoxoxo

Silent tears....
Hi Chevie,
Mum can't sleep, over the past few days I've been thinking of you more... Probably due to the Holidays and it's Easter too. I used to like the holidays spending time with you and Morgan, I don't like them so much now... It's just not the same - it just dont feel good any more, you not being here with us - out playing on you bike with Morgan or just out with your chums... It just don't feel the same.
I miss you so much Chevie it does really hurt, My heart feels really sore and it beats hard, It hurts me and then the silent tears come because more than likely it's at night when I go to my bed they come, I'm at my sadest then, During the day I can talk to you fine and speak away to you about whatever is going on and also I'm busy with the house, Morgan, Dad and Emily... Well the truth be told Em-J takes up alot of my time but it don't stop me thinking and talking to or about you... I do that alot to Em-J, Talk about you just so she knows just how much you mean to me...
She is like you in so many different ways, She looks like all three of you, which I really like because I see you in her when she looks a certin way and smiles to me then she looks like your Dad and Morgan so it's good to see you all in her, but Chevie on the other hand she's nothing like you too and she will never be you... She wont replace you either. I know this because the hurt is still with me every time I think of you, some people might have thought that I had a baby to replace you or to get my mind busy with something else... The truth is I never... I've been wanting a baby for so long and after losing the two sets of twins then you it was horrible, I never thought I'd manage to have her so when I did become pregnant I knew that you'd look after us and I know that you did just that... Look Chev what I'm trying to say is that no-one could ever take your place in my life, I love you so much and miss you each and every day... I wish that I had my three kids here with me when I get up in the morning and when I go to sleep at night. Your always in my head no matter how busy I am or what I'm doing, Your always here with me and that's the way it's going to stay as long as I'm here and breathing you will be with me...
I'm coming up to your housie on Saturday with Nana and Kat, Just to put up your Easter things and to tidy it up a wee bit... Got you a few things to brighten up your housie, I think you'll like them? I'll see you there then?
Chevie just remember that you'll always be Mummy's little Angel sent from above just for me to love xoxoxox

Happy Birthday Beautiful xXx
Hey Gorgeous, know i hinna been on here for ages, but you know that i think about you all the time and that we all miss you so much, coz i'm sure that you hear me when i tell you!!
Happy birthday hunni, I can't believe that you would be 11 now, it only feels like yesterday when you fell asleep and became an angel. It still hurts so much that you are not here with us and so unfair that you were taken away from us.
I hope that your having fun up there and looking after everyone like i know you will be! I like to think that Alex is up there keeping an eye out for you and making sure that you are ok, but i bet it's the other way about and you're looking out for him.
Cairo still talks about you, which is nice coz i like to tell him stories about you so that he remembers everything about you, I think losing Alex brought it all home to him again and brought back all the memories. I feel so sorry for him coz he lost you his Great Great Gran and Alex in less than two years....it seems alot for a little toot to go through, but i'm sure he'll be fine and i know you'll watch over him and make sure he is ok! Uncle Wayney sends his love and hugs and told me to tell you that misses you Freda :)
My two sisters came up with me tonight to see you and wish you happy birthday...it was affa bonnie walking through all the housies at night with all the lights and chimes...but yours is like a shing star at the top!!
Anyway hunni....gonna go just now coz i'm away to go to bed so that i don't sleep in for Cairo's school tomorrow! I don't want you to be upset for not going up to see you tomorrow, but you won'y be far from my heat or my thoughts!!
Love you always Siobhan
Uncle Wayney, Auntie Theresa and Cairo XxXxX
Toot's!!
Toot's I have so much I want to say to you and I'm finding it very hard to keep it together and not cry... So heare goes!!
Chev as we both know it's your 11th Birthday the morn and your going to be with the Angels... Again... I have been thinking about what we were doing this time two years ago before you had to go? I remember some stuff, I know that you were very poorly on the Wednseday mornin, Thing is I cant remember if I stayed with you that night or if anyone was in the hospital with us? I do remember holding you in my bozie and talking to you, Not sure what I was saying to you though? I do also remember you crying when I was crying and me telling you that it was ok and that you'd be 'fine'.
We did get a CD in from the car and we all started to sing 'I need a hero' from Bonnie Tyler, You and Morgan loved to sing that song in the car.. If I think about it very hard I can hear you both (im crying)it was good to hear you sing. You was holding my finger and I swear that you were squeezing it when we were singing that song? Also I'm 100% sure that you cried when I cried? You also peed on me twice... Did you know Chev I never changed my clothes for a week.... And your nightie that you had on well it's under my pillow and I'v not washed it either...
Thursday was a blur too? I do remember Nana going to stay in our house for the night with Morgan and Kat... Also I remember Wayne and Tess being there till I think it was about 1 in the mornin when they went home... It was strange, Myself and Dad knew what was happening... We both knew exactly what was going on and when you did leave us Dad stood up and gave you a kiss on the cheek at your very last breath, And said love you sweetheart... He could not have timed it better... I knew too, I stood up and said that I was away to phone Nana... It was strange as I remember going back to the room and washing and dressing you and then I turned around and everyone was there? It happend all so fast?
Chevie I do remember alot but I think I dont want to because it's so very hard... You will always be with me just not in the way that I want... I love you so very very much, You are my shining stat... My Angel... My little woman.... You too me are everything and no-one will ever change that... I cant wait to see you chum, I know that I will see you again and that's all that matters.... Till then you take real good care of yourself.. xoxoxox
