Gillian Haberfield
12th December 1988
age 33

I was very close to my Auntie, she was a very special person who I loved very much. Gillian was tragically killed in the Clapham train crash aged just 33. I was only 14 at the time and her death had a dramatic effect on my life. I know that she is taking care of me because eventually I was able to get my life back on track and am now blessed with a lovely husband and 5 little boys. All these years on I still miss her just as much and really wish she could be here to see my boys. My boys know all about her and I tell them that she is looking after us. Last year I gave birth to my son Ben at 23 weeks. Everybody thought he wouldn't make it but I could feel her presence the whole time I somehow new she would bring us through. Ben has just turned 1 and is doing really well. Thankyou Aunty Gillian for looking after us, I love and miss you so very much. I hope you are reunited with your brothers Ronny and Tony.
R.I.P you're so special xxxxxxx


There's a place we used to be
There's a face that I used to see
There's a picture with you by my side
There's a moment that I want to find.

I don't know where to start
Or how to begin
But I know I love you still.

If you ever turn away
If you ever change your mind
If the road ahead becomes too hard to climb
If there's something in your heart that tells you to stop
Oh to hold you close tonight
I'd wait for life.

There's a voice shouting inside my head
There's a space on your side of the bed
There's a hope everytime there's a sound
There's a silence that's playing too loud

I don't know where you are
Or how you may be
But I know I love you still.

If I close my eyes
I'll dream a little deeper baby
'Cause you are always on my mind
Yeah you are always on my mind
For life.

This a poem I wrote for my Aunty just after she died.

The saddest day of my life has to be
When my mum rushed home and told me,
That my Aunty Gillian had been in a train crash
And was missing
I just couldn't believe it
I just wouldn't listen

We rushed to my nans as fast as we could
Hoping to hear some good news.
But nothing yet had been said
If she was alive, or sadly dead.

We phoned the emergency number for hours on end
No-one could tell us anything
We were going round the bend.

Thirty two and a half hours we had to wait
To Learn the horrible truth
That Aunty Gillian had actually died
In the buffet carriage which had a split roof.

I miss her so very much
But through all the pain
I know that one day we will
Be together again
