I live in the UK in a town called Southport about 30 minutes from Liverpool & Preston.
I work two days one week and three days the next week and spend the rest of the week
managing PM, Precious Memorials has been open now about a year before that i had a website called Deals Designs & Tributes by Delia I still have those, but I always wanted to open a Memorial Website of my own like this so then I opened DE ALS Memorials that stood for DE that's me and ALS my Beautiful Angel but I felt that was not the right name
as the website is about all of our Precious Angels and that's were the
Precious Memorials name came from.
This year I also bought Precious Memorials Graphics
& we now have a really big Graphics Department,
I don't do many graphics now I am to busy I leave it to our designers
but I do make things for the website.
Then I have bought our new site Precious Family & Friends,
this is a place to celebrate our loved ones we still have here with us
I have a Memorial Website with Memory-of.com about
My Beautiful Son Allan Tomlin I lost him on September 17th 2002
when he was just 25 years old,
my heart will be broken forever,
I knew I wanted to keep his memory alive forever and that is what I will do,
his website has been open now since August 2005 I think,
also I opened another one late last year about my husband, mum & dad, Alice & Billy Beggs
that is a Memory-of.com too and then there is
My Beautiful Son BJ, he is disabled and we love him to bits
we have a website for him on the Celebration-of.com to celebrate his life,

Hi my name is Julie. I am the daughter of 'Angel' Thomas packer and Niece of 'Angel' Sandra Juden.
I live in Brighton, in the United Kingdom.
I enjoy working on precious memorials, both behind the scenes and also doing graphics for our angel families. We have a lot of members from across the world which is a comforting thought as, you never feel alone on this site. It gives me great comfort to make graphics for all the Angels, and gives me inner strength to know that my graphics provide comfort for loved ones.
My Name is Teri Drebit and I am Jaime's Mom. My whole world fell apart on March 26th, 2005 when I lost Jaime, my oldest daughter and best friend. I am married to a wonderful Husband, John and also have a Daughter, Alexandra (Ally) who is 10 1/2 years younger than Jaime. I don't remember how I found Precious Memorials, but I am so very thankful to Delia for this wonderful site she has created and I absolutely adore her. Precious Memorials is a place where I can honor my beautiful Daughter's memory and keep it alive. I am also thankful to the person who sponsored me and gave me the push I needed. I have met so many wonderful, caring and compassionate people that truly understand what each and every one of us endure and struggle with every day after losing a child. My life is not the same as it was before I lost Jaime and many people who have never lost a child do not understand our grief and how difficult it is for us. Precious Memorials has become my family and has given me much needed comfort and support and a place where I can honor my Daughter's beautiful memory and keep it alive. I am also thankful to my good friend Nancy Davis who has spent endless hours teaching me how to frame photos, add names to graphics and the many beautiful graphics she has also made for Jaime's site along with so many other special friends. I am proud to be a part of Precious Memorials graphics designing team and lend a helping hand. I love helping out and am learning more each day. I also would like to thank the many wonderful people who light candles and have made graphics and left beautiful tributes for Jaime and helped me put her site together. I love you all my dear friends and thank you and Precious Memorials.
Hi My name is Jayne and I am the daughter of Angel Rita Darcy and Granddaughter of Molly Keane.
I currently live in Birmingham in the United Kingdom and I am married to Lee. I have 2 beautiful children Liam and Hayley. I first joined 'Precious Memorials' in January 2007, and like most people here, would agree its a wonderful place to be. There are some truly touching stories captured within this site about our angels, and tales of amazing courage by some remarkable women. Each and every one of them captures your heart, and it is my pleasure to give a little something back to so many people who have lifted my family and I through a very difficult time. love Jayne xx

Hello my name is Diana. I am Angel Norma Starkey's Daughter,
I live in Birkenhead United Kingdom,
and I have been a member of precious memorials since December 2006, after the loss of my mother.
I started learning to make graphics when I opened my mothers web site. I know what it felt like when I too received lovely graphics and pictures of my mother that people had taken the time to make for me, It felt wonderful and brought enormous comfort in my time of need.
Now I can do the same for other grieving families as was done for me.
This gives me a great deal of comfort and pleasure knowing even just for a moment ive made someone smile.
I am mum of 3 other girls Savannah, Sherryz and Sherylee, they are my life as is my mum dad sisters brothers neices and nephews,
There is alot of us but we are always there for each other. we have started a memory garden at home for Siobhan which we all keep pretty and nice. Im very close to my girls/family and we do lots of things together, having fun by playing games, cards, scrabble, and computer games, We have a huge trampoline which is so much fun, anything that they can all be involved with together. We have so much fun together. I like making graphics and being in the chat, and getting to know people.
My name is Brandy Im 27 years old and from South Carolina.
I lost my first born child on October 29th, 2000. Her name is Julia Ann Corliss. I have two living sons, Eric is 5 years old and Dillon is 10 months old. My partner is Craig and hes got a daughter name Caylah. I enjoy spending time with my family and the friends . I have loved making graphics for awhile now. I started doing them about 2 months after I made Julia's website. Its a great feeling knowing I came make things for Julia myself and make things for other angel families. I love helping others and giving to others. I also love to talk so if anyone ever needs to talk or just wants to talk let me know.
My name is Tammy King and I live in Wisconsin.
I'am the sister to angels Dan and Jeff Schulz. I lost my brothers' within 6-1/2 weeks of each other to suicide. Dan passed away on September 19, 2006 and Jeff on November 4, 2006. It has been a difficult journey of grief.
I started dabbling in graphics about 6 months ago. I wanted to make graphics for Dan and Jeff's memorial sites and also for others that have lost loved ones. I just became a member of the graphics designing team on Fri., July 27, 2007 ~ thank to 2 very close friends of mine, Nancy Davis and Sharon Bryant, who talked me into joining the team ~ and thank you for that ladies, as I guess I just needed that little extra nudge ;) - I love it !!
When I'm not making graphics, I love spending time with my Mom, step-dad, my 2 grown sons, my hubby, our dog Rocky and chatting with my very special friends on the computer or by phone. I also enjoy cross-stitching, reading, taking walks and watching some TV.
Precious Memorials has been a godsend to me. There have been so many times that I needed someone to talk to about my pain and grief of losing my brothers' and there is always someone that will listen and for that I'am forever thankful. Precious Memorials is my 2nd family. I really don't know where I would be right now without them. A special thank you to Delia for creating such a wonderful website. I love you all!!
I'm 48 years old and I have a 28 year old daughter, Amanda and a 26 year old son, Dustin.
I also have a 7 year old grandson, Tristan that is the joy of my life.
He has been with me all but 2 months of his life.
I thank god every day for bringing him into my life because I truly don't know where I would be if he weren't. I live in Arizona and have been doing graphics for about 3 years.
I can't say how much I love making them and hope to some day start my own business making photo's for special occasions.
I have 4 cats, and i live with my partner of 2 years Phill. I got into doing graphics after my good friends Jeda and Anthony lost their baby Kayla to stillbirth on 20th December 2006. I've had a lot of heartache in my life, I lost my mother to suicide when I was 17. That changed me as a person, and even now, 15 years later, I still cry for her everyday. Losing Kayla in our family really tested my strength as a person. I couldnt imagine what Jeda was going through, but even though Im battling my own demons, Im there for her whenever she needs me. I love doing graphics. I learn new and different things everyday!
I love cooking, music, the internet, being with my friends and i love our pets. We dont have any children of of our own but would hopefully like to start trying next year.
thanks kellie
Hello everyone, my name is Tess, I am 30 and live in Port Pirie, South Australia.
I am the proud mummy of Angel Matthew McPhail and two beautiful little girls, Annabelle is 6 and Mickayla is 3. I live with my girls and my fiance Andrew.
My Angel Matthew passed away during labour on the 9th of July 200 and since then I have struggled to find meaning and purpose in my life. In April this year I started a Memorial site for Matthew, not long after I joined Precious Memorials. Which has meant so very much to me, which has become a place of great joy and peace to me, I have made some wonderful friendships and get so much support and understanding.
I have been making graphics for friends for about two or three months and it gives me such joy and happiness to make them for Angels and their loved ones. I decided to become a member of the design team when i sent some graphics i had made for a fellow member (Sharon) and she suggested I join, which was music to my ears because i had been thinking about it for a while and was unsure if i was good enough.
I cant wait to make loads of graphics for all of the members as it gives me such pleasure to be able to make graphics for beautiful Angels and their loved ones.
I would like to take this chance to say a huge Thank You to Delia for starting Precious memorials ((Delia)).
Thank you also goes to Sharon, Tammy, Julie & Nancy for all the help you have given me to get me started on PM doing graphics.
Also i really look forward to making Graphics for PM.
Hello!! My name is Rose Murray. My husband of 11 years, Jason, was killed in a car accident on January 31, 2007. He was 32 years old. We have 4 wonderful children. Kyle, Marissa, Miranda, & Tyler. I never in a million years would have imagined living the life that I am now, but I am coming to terms with the fact that this is the life God wants for me right now. I am blessed with the knowledge that we will all be together again one day in Heaven. I am very honored to make graphics for all the Angels out there. The love & friendship that I have found at Precious Memorials is a huge blessing!! I will be forever thankful!! God Bless!!
Peace & Love,
Rose
Hi I am Jennifer Allan (Jen). I live in the little town of Sauble Beach along the beautiful shores of Lake Huron in Ontario Canada. On June 11 2007 my husband Gordon passed away from cancer just 2 weeks shy of our 40th wedding anniversay, and my world changed. We were blessed with 3 wonderful children and 7 grandchildren, although they don't live close by phone calls keeps me in touch, I took a course on graphic making to fill the hours and I found I loved it and the grieve became less unbearable because it gave me a purpose to this new life I didn't choose.
Thank-you to Tammy for steering me in the direction of Precious Memorials, I feel truly blessed to be a part of this place where we all travel the same road and thank-you to PM for accepting me. Anything I can do to keep our Angels memories alive would be my honor, love and hugs Jen
