When young Kelly Woodward was killed by a drunk driver her family were devastated – but now they
have launched a campaign to change the law to make sure he serves his full sentence.
Jan, Kelly’s mother, is angry that the drunk who killed her, could walk out of prison and back
into the driver’s seat of a car within just a few months.
Jan has already succeeded in fighting for the 30 month prison sentence imposed on driver, to be
increased to four and a half years and his driving ban extended to five years.
But she has now learned that the driving ban will be served concurrently with the prison sentence
meaning that he will be eligible to drive within six months of his release.
“That can’t possible be right and fair. Why on earth ban him from driving during a time when he
won’t be able to do so anyway? It’s nonsense and you could have knocked me over with a feather
when I found out,” said Jan. “So we are going to campaign for a change in the law to make sure
that his five year driving ban starts on the day he walks free – and not a day earlier. We are
determined to get FULL JUSTICE for Kelly. The law has got to be changed”
Jan says the campaign isn’t just about Kelly who was just 19 when she died: “It’s about every
drunk who kills or maims people and can serve their driving ban whilst in prison. It is not
justice. I hope other parents, brothers, sisters and friends of other victims will join our
campaign and make sure we keep these people off the road as long as possible,” she said.
A petition will be launched within the next few days followed by another on-line within the next few
weeks. A special web site will also be set up to make the campaign truly national. A letter
writing campaign and a series of other activities will also be underway soon.
The website is set up and the online petition is linked on there to the 10 Downing Street petition
site ....... please help us by signing the petition and giving the link to everyone u know online.
Thank you.

I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

EVERY PARENTS DREAD
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
We all grieve at some time in our life,
Maybe it’s for a parent, grandparent, a husband or wife,
Our hearts are filled with much sorrow and pain,
Life is unfair, and nothing seems the same.
It could be a sister or a brother too,
Or even a friend who is close to you,
Memories of your loved one are so new and so clear,
You dream of the day you can hold them near.
You live your life with good days and bad,
Some of them happy, some of them sad,
You think of the good times and remember with love,
Your dear departed loved one up in heaven above.
Then comes the grief that is impossible to bear,
It’s the loss of a child, which we can’t compare,
You don’t know where to go for the comfort you yearn,
The only comfort for you , is for your Child's safe return.
For these parents time does not heal,
They live a life that is not real
Their hearts are empty!!! Yet they feel like lead,
They have been given the news of every parents dread.
They have been told their child has gone,
Please don’t tell them they must move on.

Just another day
Sitting here reflecting
of the happy times we had,
Together as a family
the proud mam and dad,
Little did we know back then
of the pain that was to come,
The terrible pain a parent goes through
to lose a daughter or a son.
Our hearts are forever broken
our pain there is no relief,
Life for us is so different now
as we walk the path of grief,
We carry with us our sadness
since the day you went away,
getting up each morning
hoping to get through another day.
The world around us moving on
our life just standing still,
Remembering our daughter
we promise we always will,
Our soul may be destroyed
our hearts broken in two,
We will go on remembering
the love we had from you.

The wings of an angel come from God above,
and opened wide are wings of love.
The wings of an angel to help us cope,
bring peace, love, faith and hope.
The wings of an angel to comfort thee,
but God's sweet love is what we see.
The wings of an angel I'll pray for you,
that the wings of love will see you through...
