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.

Here we go again.... Another Christamas without you! And I truly hate it..
That's been two years now and it feels like a life time since I've saw your smiling face and it hurts so so so much... I never looked at the girls toys this year as I think it would have just upset me to much, There's so much that I would have wanted for you and more.
I'm remembering our last Christmas together and wish that I could have done things better for you, I do see your smiling face, It was very white our hair was whispy and all over the place, You looked tired.... W
My angel
For my dear sweet Siobhan,
Another christmas without you, but as always you are deep in my heart and forever in my thoughts.
I miss you honey........more than you will ever know.
Anyone who ever had the privilege of knowing you misses you, and how could they not?
My sunshine, my inspiration, my happiest thought.
My Chevie...I love you.

MISSING YOU MORE & MORE!!!
Hello Chevie,
It's true I am missing you so so so much... It's coming up for christmas and this is our second one without you here, In fact it's our second year for everything..... I'm not looking forward to it, As your not going to be here to enjoy the day with us, Having your little sister Emily is making a bit of a difference though, i know that she's only little and she's too little to understand Santa and all his chums but I do enjoy making a fuss for her and Morgan, The only thing I can do for you is to make your housie is lovely and has a tree and some decs, That's how I make a fuss of you, I make sure you have a nice housie with girly stuff for you, I hope you do like what we do for you? It's all we can do and we love to make sure it's done no matter what or how long it takes... But to be honest with you hunni, I hate going up there as I feel you should not be there at all, It just freeks me out, As you should be here with me, Driving me nuts, Me shouting at you because your fighting with Morgan, You never leaving Emily alone....
It just seems to be getting worse with every breath I take, Knowing that I'm not going to seeing you for such a long long time just breaks my heart... I hate getting up in the morning and I doubley hate going to bed at night as that's when my thoughts of you go into over drive and I just cant stop, then I start to cry and I feel so so sad... I wonder to myself just how is Chevie doing, is she sad, crying, missing us as much as we miss her? If only you could let me know how you are? I'd really hate it if you were sad, crying and missing us just as much as we miss you?
Chevie I need to know that your 'fine' and what that lady said was true? That your watching the other kids that come up to heaven and that you are taking care of them and making sure that they are 'fine'
I am hoping that's what your doing as I know you'd be happy taking care of the little ones... Having lots of fun too!!
If Jessica, Siobhan, Dennis and Lisa's there with you too? I know that things will be 'fine', Because Lisa will be like a big sister to you all and keeping you all in the right path... And I know that you'll all be driving her nuts too!! Be good for her toots, She's a good girl too...
Chevie I love you so much and miss you much much more, I want and need you to visit me, Morgan or your Dad to let us know that your 'fine' and that your safe too..
Your Mummy's little angel sent from above just for me to love.. And I do love you hunni and always will no matter what happens you will always be in my head, Heart and thoughts... I'm giving you a cuddle and an eskimo kiss just now I hope that you can feel them? My heart just got a funny feeling there? I'm hoping that's because you were cuddling me and giving me an eskimo kiss too? Well that's what I think.. Nite nite sweetie and see you in the morning... xoxoxoxo
Morning sweetie..
Morning sweetie, It's 5:30 in the morning and I just cant sleep... Not had a good night.
You'll never guess what happend? Mum's a bit of a tit...
I went to bed early as I had a sore head, I fed Emily put her down at the back of nine, So she was due for a tootie at one but how and ever she never got up till two, Which was really good... Any way while I was feeding her I thought I heard the front door being pushed open, So I listend, I heard nothing then once again I thought I heard the door being pushed!!
So I was a wee bit scared now so I phoned Nana to tell her, Nana said phone the police they will send someone round to check for you, So I did and right enough the man said we'll send a car round to check for you.
So in the mean time,I went into the lobby just to look for myself and guess what I saw?
It was Jerry and Tinkerbell wanting in... Jerry jumped up and pushed the handle down on the door, Your cat is just a wee bit crazy the same with Tinks.... I was so scared, I never thought about the cats being out, Normaly Tinks cries so I know that she wants in, But I never heard her crying, But I knew I heard the door, Jerry has done that a lot now soon he'll be opening the door for himself and letting himself in... lol.
In the mean time the police was on there way round... Well I could'nt say it was my cats, Could I? So I had to pretend to the police man that there was someone at the door, Well there was really just not what he thought.... But then the man said that he picked someone up who was out on there push bike, The police man questioned him too... I felt really bad for that man, But he has been in trouble with the police before.... So he's not a nice person... Not that I'm saying he deserved to be questioned by the police, I guess he was at the wrong place at the wrong time eh?
Your cat has a lot to answer for Chev... You tot him well, He still jumps into the fridge when it's open and he still cry's for his milk in the morning... And he has tried to open the door a few times now.... What a little tinker.... Lol
Going away for now but I'll be back soon to write you a little story... Love you to the moon stars and back again and dont you forget that your mummy's little angel sent from above just for me to love xoxoxoxox
It's me again...
Hiya tootie pie, It's me again... Mummy...
Well I don't need to tell you how I'm feeling to-day? I think you already know...
I feel like crap after yesterday... Jessica's service was so much like your's, well some of it anyway, It was a little girl that should not have been took away from her family... She had so much to offer, So much to do with her life, She too made people smile and laugh.
We saw pics of Jess, Some of them reminded me and your Dad of you, The one's from the hospital were just like you, And that smile... Well it's just lovely and am sure her Mummy Daddy and her big sister is going to miss it so so much, As I miss your's.
It was hard to go to another service for one more kid that we got to know while you were in getting your meds, Chev I can't believe that Jess was the first one we met and sadly Jess was the last one I said see you later too, I think that was about ten kids that went away, I can't understand to why none of you were able to get better? I don't think I ever will, I just know that it so unfair to all the Mummy's and Daddy's who are left behind that wish they should have done more for you...
Chev I don't have to tell you that I miss you each and every day... I know that I'm not on as much as I used to be and I'm sorry for that... Chev I think of you every day and night and just because I don't light you a candle don't mean that your not in my thoughts, I feel that I should light you a candle then that way you know that I'm thinking of you, So here's my promise to you, I will light you a candle every day no matter what....
Can you say to Jessica that I hope that she's in no more pain and that she feels a wee bit happyier where she is now? I would like to think that your both together? Having lots and lots of fun, causing lots of trouble... In a nice way though? ...lol I can't wait to see you hunni, It's doing my head in not being able to see or talk to properly, I want you to come visit me, Let me see that your 'fine', Morgan has said to me a few times now that he hear's you talking to him... Are you talking to Morgan then? I hope that you are because that makes Morgan happy, So if you could come and see me, That would be lovely...
Chevie I have to go for now but like I said I will light you a candle every day no matter what... Till I see you again, You take care of yourself and everyone else...
Give Jessica a big huge hug and kiss from me please.
Your Mummy's little angel sent from above just for me to love... xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Sad news eh?
Hi sweetie, How you doing? Well I don't need to tell you how I'm feeling...
You know that I'm feeling very very sad, Your probably not to happy either? It's just not fair is it? I do think it should have not happend to us or them or to any of the familys we knew.. It's just so hard to loose someone you love so much and to loose apart of your family is hard enough let a lone your daughter or son..
I hate it that your not here with us but you know that already do you?
Have you meet up with Jessica yet? Why did that have to happen to her too? After all that she went through too... I think it's such a shame, just dont understand to why you kids had to become ill in the first place? You all had so much to live for, not one of you should have became ill.
I was talking to Nana about Jessica yesterday and she said that you probably came down for her as you both knew eachother and you know what's what up there and Jessica will be scared.. So I hope that it was you who went down for her and that you take good care of her for her Mum... Does Jessica have that lovely smile on her face that your Dad and myself just love to see?
We both remember that was the first thing that we saw when we first met Jessica.. Can you tell her from us to keep smiling...
Chevie you take good car of yourself and the other angels up there, I cant wait to see you again, I miss you so so so much and it's not getting any easier like other people say it does...
I know that me and your Dad think of you each and every day and that wont change one little bit..
Love you to the moon stars and back again.. xoxoxox

Hi toot
Hi toot's, Just thought I'd write to you as it's been a while..
Chev as you know Mummy's had a baby... I know that I should have wrote to you sooner but I was finding it very hard to put in words what to say to you! Chev I know that you know, you probably knew before me?
I have a good feeling that I had this baby because of you, after all we've been through over the past couple of years, nothing was good losing the twins, twice... Then losing you.. Nothing was good and we were very sad after all that did happen, we always thought that you were going to be 'fine' but you were to tired and had to go to a better place.
It's took us a long time to understand to why you had to go and even now Chev I still dont understand, all I know is that your no longer in pain... Which cant be a bad thing.. That dont make it better but it helps to think like that.
When I found out I was having a baby I was so scared to what might happen, will I loose another baby, will things be 'fine' and can I do this to Chev?
I never told people till I knew that things was 'fine' with the baby, I was worried to what people would think or what you might think, is she having a baby to replace Siobhan? I was worried that's what you'd think?
After thinking long and hard I knew that you'd be happy for us, I knew that you'd want a baby brother or sister, so I thought that it would be 'fine' with you and to be honest that's all that matters to me, I've wanted a baby for so long and I knew that you had something to do with me having one?
As you know you have a wee sister, she looks just like you and Morgan, but I do see more of you in her... Well I think so any way and people that know you say that your there too, I'm so happy that they say that, then I know that I'm not just imaging it... I do hope that she's like you Chev in so many ways, just because you were such a gem, thinking of others, always doing the right thing and most of all you made us all laugh.. So if she can do any of that i'd be well proud of what we've done.
Her name is Emily Jayne... I dont need to tell you where the name came from.. I'm sure Grandma's well happy? And you? She's nine weeks old today, she was five weeks early but she's doing so well, I think that you also sorted out the labour and what happend at the hospital? So I do thank you very much for that Chev.
I've been meaning to write to you about this but I was just not sure what to say? I am so sorry for leaving it so long... I know that you can hear me when I talk to you at night so i know that you know how I feel already, but I feel that I've let you down by not saying on here, I know, but this is where I come to talk to you as it makes me feel better and I feel that you can read what I put down in words, sometimes it's real hard and I feel that this helps me... I only pray that you do know what I'm writting and that you do read my letters?
I'm going to try and put a pic of Emily on here for you... Like I said i'm going to try so bear with me... lol
Chev I just need to say that just because I have Emily does not mean that I have forgot you... I will never forget you as you are my Angel, your my Star, your my life, your the air that I breath, Chev your my world and you always will be.
I love and miss you much more than you will ever know, you will always be my number one no matter what and nothing will ever change that.
Your Mummy's little angel sent from above just for me to love. xoxoxoxoxoxox
I miss you
That's all I can say Chev, but you know my thoughts on so many things don't you?
Someone said to me the other day why I keep the Siobhanathon going even though we have achieved our goal for Luke. My answer was 'Chevie was a special person, and a beautiful soul. I will NEVER allow her to be forgotten, and this fund raising project is her legacy. She will never be forgotten, and so many strangers have been inspired by what I do, and it's all because of Siobhan. Thats why I do what I do'
I love you Chev, more then anyone will ever know. If I can become only half the beautiful soul you are, then my life has a purpose. You are all around me, and your pictures are everywhere..........in my office, in the shop, in my studio, in the cottage, but most of all, in my heart. I never stop telling people about you, nor will I.
I will never meet someone as special as you in all my days Chev. I miss you so much.
