This memorial website was created to remember our dearly loved son and brother
Troy Anthony Mitchell
who was born in Swan Hill, Victoria on February 13, 1981 and became an angel in Adelaide, South Australia on March 17, 2008.
Cherished son of Edwina and Terry. Much Loved brother and brother-in-law of Katherine and Peter, Benjamin, and Kimberley. Adored uncle of jaiden and Chloe. Loved grandson of Alice and Don, Frank and Heather (an angel). Remembered by his many Aunt's, Uncle's, Cousin's and Friends.
Now in Heaven with his Nan, Uncle Brian, cousin Shaun and (Uncle) Christopher.
Your name is so precious, It will never grow old, it is etched in our heart's, in letters in gold.

Remember Me
To the living...I am gone,
To the sorrowful...I will never return,
To the angry...I was cheated.
But to the happy...I am at peace,
And to the faithful...I have never left.
I cannot speak...But I can listen,
I cannot be seen...But I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore,
Gazing at a beautiful sea...Remember me.
As you look upon a flower,
And admire its simplicity...Remember me.
Remember me in your heart,
Your thoughts...and your memories.
Of the times we loved...The times we cried,
The times we fought...And the times we laughed.
For if you will always think of me,
I will never be gone.
If I could have one life time wish,
One dream that could come true,
I'd pray to god with all my heart,
For yesterday and you.


"The mention of my Child's name may
bring tears to my eye's, but it never
fails to bring music to my ear's.
If you are really my friend, let me hear
the beautiful music of his name. It
soothes my heart and sings to my Soul".
- Nancy Williams

When Someone you love
Becomes a memory
That memory becomes
A treasure!

The Cord
We are connected, My child and I,
By an invisible cord, Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord that connects us til birth,
This cord can't be seen by any on earth.
This cord does it's work right from the start,
It binds us together, Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there, Though no one can see,
The 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.
It's stronger than any cord man could create,
It withstands the test, Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone and 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 life line, As never before.
I am thankful that god connects us this way,
A mother and child...Death can't take that away!

I can't get over you,
Because I carried you for nine long months, and
you where there, right under my heart.
I can't get over you,
Because I felt your butterfly flutterings and your tiny taps,
to let me know that you were part of me, and my life forever.
I can't get over you,
Because I fell in love with you the very second
that I knew you were there, and I knew that we where forever one.
I can't get over you,
Because I heard your first cry as you entered this world,
And because I held your body so close to my heart.
I can't get over you because, I heard your first burp, and kissed
your head for the first time.
I can't get over you,
Because I saw your first tear as it fell upon your cheek
and because you looked at me with such trusting loving eyes,
that made me the center of your world.
I can't get over you, my precious child,
because I saw your first steps and heard your first laugh,
I held you so tightly, and rocked you through the night.
I can't get over you,
Because you trusted me to love and take care of you.
I can't get over you because you were, and still are, my child.
I will never get over you,
Because I am your mother,
And I will love you forever,
I will never get over you!

You will always be the answer
Whenever someone
ask's me
what I'm thinking about!

We joked around and laughed a lot,
And talked for hours on end.
How did I get so Lucky?
I remember yesterday so clearly,
You my little brother, and my best friend.
This little message is yours forever,
It holds the special love we shared.
It's the part of me that goes with you,
For all eternity Bro.




The moment I knew that you had died
My heart split in two
One side filled with memories
The other died with you
I often lay awake at night
When the world is fast asleep
And take a walk down memory lane
With tears upon my cheek
Remembering you is easy
I do it every day
But missing you is a heartache
That never goes away
I hold you tightly within my heart
And there you will remain
Life has gone on with out you
But it never will be the same

A Mother's Daily Nightmare
I woke up this morning,
And you where not there.
I can't kiss your cheek,
Or brush back your hair.
The day's of joy are over,
The pain and sorrow start.
Because when you went to heaven,
You also took my heart.
I have to live my nightmare,
Each morning when I wake.
I have to feel this pain,
With every breath I take.
With gut wrenching sorrow,
And mind numbing pain.
I daily live this nightmare,
Over and Over again.
