Stevie B its been another hard Christmas to get through,you loved this time of the year and it sometimes so hard to think that you'll never be around to celebrate it!
Jacques is growing up far to fast. He has so many mates as you did, and we hardly see much of him now.
Watch over us all my lovely, and keep guiding us in the right direction as the New Year approaches!
Sending you so much love. Mum, Dad and Jacquesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Stevie, sorry its been so long since i've written on here, don't think its because I think about you any less than that fateful november and december three years ago. I'm writing here not as someone who works for the foundation in your name but as someone who deeply misses his best mate. I sometimes think that we should let the foundation lay, I wonder if it makes the hurt last longer but of course it doesn't. I know you would approve of what we're doing, its just the kinda lad you were.
I find myself at a crossroads in my life in so many ways, personally and in my career I feel lost because the direction that has been there for so long has gone now. Occasionally, just every now and then I let my guard down and I want to disappear but then I get my strength back, you are my strength mate. I am so fortunate to have had you in my life and even though you aren't here in body anymore you will forever shape my decisions. Sorry to talk about me mate, this should be all about you.
I will try and make you proud mate, when I take a step back I will realise that life is good and the future ahead of me is bright. There are people who need you to look over them more than I do. Look over them all mate, you are the guiding light for so many people. As I have sat here, here i go again by whitesnake came on, pretty much sums everything up mate. Miss you ridiculous amounts buddy x x x x

Its really still so hard to believe that this time tomorrow evening you were cruelly taken away from us!There is an emptiness in my heart that will never go away, but it makes the memories of the 18years you had with us all the more precious!
I am finding it hard to write just exactly how I feel right now Stevie B, but if you are looking down on us from above, keep guiding us along this difficult path of life. Your lovely bruv Jacques is doing us proud. Craig continues to be an inspiration with the Foundation, and we can draw strength from Laura and Ross with all that they have had to endure in their lives!
Your life was so short, and it was so sad that we never had the chance to say goodbye to you!
Thinking of you always our lovely son.
Love and very big hugs Mumsy @ Dadxxxxx

Stevie
3 years too long mate. I remember the morning we heard so clearly, I can't explain the feelings that I felt. Nothing has been the same since but looking forward to seeing you again keeps us going. Still thinking of you all the time, missing you as always. You can see you will never be forgotten, you are a true legend.
Much love X
Nov 2 2008 12:06 am
Dear Stevie B,
I am writing a note to you, Bex and James to remind you just how much i miss you...there is never a day that passes that you are not in my thoughts.
I cannot believe that 3 years have now passed. I would do absolutely anything to see the three of you again.
You are all such amazing people, legends in fact - who will have a place in my heart forever.
All my love always
Laura

Stevie B, I will be thinking of you more than usual at this horrible time, three years have now passed, but you are still deep in my thoughts as you are with a lot of people. It so good to have your Dad and young Jacques with us at Christchurch FC, "Smelly", is going to be a great Christchurch player, you would be so proud of him Mate. Look down on your lovely Mum and Laura, especialy give them strength over the next few days and beyond.I will shed a tear or two as the music plays over the PA at the club next, the lads insisted your tune " Dancing In The Moonlight " is played at all our home games and it brings back so many memories, both happy and sad, keep smiling down on us Stevie B. Love Ya, until we meet again.

Your family and friends have done you so proud with all the fundraising and supporting each other,and as for Jacques what an amazing baby brother he has turned out to be,so proud of him.
Stevie the 2nd is nearly here and the pain will peak again like it was yesterday,you have such a special place in so many hearts darling keep us all strong.Love you young man.Karen granham and clayton.

Oct 8 2008 06:41 pm
Hey stevie B! was reading the paper the other day and was amazed by how much money has now been raised in your name £50,000!!! it just goes to show how special you are. As your mum stated the 2nd november is racing towards us and our hearts once again are starting to fill up with sadness as the horrible memory of that terrible night plays in our thoughts. Its hard for me to imagine how hard it is for your mum dad and jaques to cope with all this heart ache but they are doing a great job and inspire me to carry on and give me strenth to enjoy life however harsh it is. Kane is growing faster than ever he is now teething which makes hima bit crabby and he will often scream because of it, but i cant hear it LOL!!!! He is my world. Of course there are times when i am sad because i cannot hear him but my spirits are always lifted when he smiles at me and i think to my self how lucky i am to be here with him. I often find myself wishing that you were here to meet him but i know you will always be at his side as you are with me. Tough times have come and gone again as my life seems to be starting to go up as the hospital have said that they are close to finding a drug to shrink the tumours and asked me if i would be interested in doing a trial. Of course my answer was yes they also said that i dont need a scan for 3 years which is great!! My mum and dad and gemma are all doing fine, as now my sister is now engaged to a pasty! and living in cornwall. Very proud of her and it makes me happy that her life is now finally on the up. At the moment im trying to build myself a better life as i am now a dad and want to prodvide for Kane so hopefully i can get it sorted. Anyways Stevie i hope i havent bored you to much mate, but i must be off, still missing you so much matey only seems like yesterday we were playing in the back garden and me showing off my rubbish footie skills lol!! Thank you for all the strength you have given me and guiding me through the hard times. love you mate, make sure you dont stitch me up on the 2nd! i will be there mate under that tree waiting for you to fly shake my hand and have a chat. see you soon mate.ross x
P.S. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank those who bidded at the auction to raise money for me was very suprised and greatful. So thank you to those that did and to Sue, tony and jaques for holding it. Thank you.
Oct 6 2008 11:38 pm
Thinking of you 3 years ago my darling as you were enjoying University life so much Stevie B! Where has all the time gone? Craig has done brill and just graduated amongst many of your friends, and Jacques is going to 21st and 22nd Birthday gatherings of your friends! So proud of your brother tho Stevie getting great results for his GCSE's and now attending 6th form BSB. I remember back to how he was so dissapointed at not getting into BSB and us saying that he could always go later into 6th form!!He certainly worked harder than we thought.
That horrible day of the 2nd Nov will soon be upon us. I only hope that you, Bex and James are doing ok up there together. Jamie Im sure is doing fine. Our lovely Laura is having a bad time at the mo with her back probs..Please keep an eye on us all my darling boy.
I try to keep positive, but sometimes its so bloody hard!Missing you with all my heart......
Love from your old Mumsyxxxxxxxxxxx
Aug 15 2008 10:30 pm
Thoughts of you have been flooding my mind this week, as all the students have been getting their A level results. You played that cruel trick on me whilst we were holidaying in Croatia saying that your grades were lower than expected! I couldn't believe it, then phoned you and you said that you were only joking(that was you all over)and told us that you'd been accepted at Chichester, I was so very proud Stevie B.
I knew that you would do brilliantly at Uni and the day we took you down to Chi was one of the proudest yet sadest days of my life, little did I know what lay ahead!!!!
Missing you so very, very much my darling boy.
Love you so very much.
Mumsyxxxxxxxx
Aug 2 2008 04:03 pm
Hi Stevie- Had the memorial match other night X'church beating Chichester 4-0. Jacques played up front and was showing the kind of touches you'd have been proud of!
Woulda been amazing to c u play in the same Christchurch team , life is so cruel.
The season is now here,keep watching over us mate. Rides
Jul 20 2008 08:56 pm
Hiya Stevie,
Jacques and I went to Chi for a football tournament today which xchurch won, you would be proud of your "little"brother, he is becoming quite a decent player, although I'm sure you would manage to wind him up!
We then visited the crash scene to put some flowers down and tell you how much we miss you, I really hate that A27.It really doesn't get any easier mate, miss you like crazy son, with all my love Big Bad Dad xxx
Jul 16 2008 11:18 pm
Ive reached another Birthday without you around Stevie B, and although I kept myself busy and we had a special young lady with us this year, lovely Laura. I think it all caught up with me on Sunday and I felt so very sad.
Sometimes the pain is just so unbearable and I think that Im never going to stop crying. I looked through some poems that I had collected in the early days, and although very sad I did find them comforting. Keep on watching over everyone Stevie darling, I miss you with all of my heart and just wished I could turn the clock back!!
All my love your silly old Mumxxxxxxxx
Jul 9 2008 01:14 pm

Jul 5 2008 10:51 am
Hi Stevie Mate,
I am missing you all so much. Have had a really tough week this week...sometimes it feels like the only thing that will put a smile on my face is seeing the three of you and it devastates me that i have no control over that!
I know i always write the same things to you, but i just want you to know that there is never a moment that goes by when i'm not thinking of you all. I miss you more as each day passes by, and the emotions become more consuming too. I find it so hard to accept that something so horrific could happen to such amazing people??
I will hopefully be coming to visit soon, so will come say hello and see your gorgeous family and that heroic friend of yours Ross. I admire his strength so much.
Please keep watching over us Stevie B.
Love you all so much
Laura xXx
Jun 7 2008 09:58 pm
Dear Ross, what you have had to endure is beyond our comprehension!You are doing so amazingly well and your words are so poignant!The arrival of your little son is such a blessing. You have now become a Dad at 22 and we know that your strength of character will shine through in him. Stevie will always be watching over you.
God only knows why we have had to go through all this heartache, but when we gather together at our fundraising events(our Comedy Night last Fri)it makes me realize just how much you were loved! The support that we have had from so many friends and family is so overwhelming at times, but this keeps us strong and determined to keep on helping others.
Tonight is the summer ball for the University students in Bournemouth,I have seen many students dressed up in some great cosies, and it just reminds me that this should be you doing the same!!!Who knows maybe you are in the University of the Sky? All I know is that the pain of loosing you is still so very intense.
Love and miss you so very much darling boy. Love Mum, Dad and Jacques xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jun 5 2008 10:13 pm
Hey stevie, sorry its been a while since i have written on here but been through alot bud, i just wanted to thank you for looking out for me whilst i was in hospital and guarding my son as he was born. Being deaf is probably one of the most strangest things to have to cope with its wierd not being able to hear anything especially now my son's here it sometimes hurts bad that i cant hear him but the thing that keeps me going is the fact that im here and i can still see him and hold him he was the greatest gift i could have gotten when i returned from hospital, when i held him for the first time was awesome. I try not to get to down about loosing my hearing but its very hard but im doing a grand job i think lol, and i hope you are proud of me mate, I will be sure to tell kane who "stevie B" was and tell him how we were when we kids and how much fun we had, and i hope and pray everyday that he will find a close friend just like i did when i found you bud, but most of all i hope he cherish the moments he spends with them cos ya just never know when you will see them again. Love u loads matey and still miss ya lots take care and we'll speak soon xx
May 8 2008 09:19 pm
Stevie B please watch over Ross and family this week. Ross had his op on Tues and is still very poorly. I pray every night for you to help him through this difficult time.
Missing you so very much our lovely boy. Life is so very unfair and these things always happen to the nicest of people.
Send Laura some extra care too, she doesn't say alot about her health but think she needs some extra TLC.
With all our Love Sue, Tony and Jacquesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry i haven't written on here for quite a while...the internet isn't working at home! :-(

I saw your wonderful family yesturday, please keep watching over them...they are amazing people. God only knows what they are going through, and i promise i will do all i can to be there for them!
The fun run was awesome, and all the hard work in organising that event certainly paid off...I had a great time; and i got to wear my y-fronts out in public-loved it!! :-)
Love you so much Stevie B....legend!!

On a very sad note today, I would like to express our total sadness at hearing that Darren Ridlers brother Nathan lost his life this morning!

Feb 14 2008 10:15 pm
Happy 21st Birthday lovely boy! Its been a hard day without you as we should have been out celebrating with you, as we did on your 18th, 3 years ago cant believe that all that time has gone by.
As Dad has said, we are missing you so very much. The idea of the Fun Run/Walk in my case...! has gone from strength to strength and who'd have believed over 300 people are now entered. 'Thank You' to all of you who have supported us, it will be an event of colour, humour and a gathering of friends and family. Im sure that Stevie will be watching down on us all, and having a good laugh at all of us making fools of ourselves. A Brilliant Tribute to you. You gave us 18 wonderful years, but just wished that you were still here!!!
With Love from your brokenhearted Mum, Dad and Brother xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Feb 14 2008 08:30 pm
Hiya Stevie,
I cannot put into words how much I am missing you .Today should have been a happy day son but we only have tears because you aren't here with us.
The run on Sunday is going to be your party! Fancy dress for all!! You will love it Stevie.
God bless love Dad xxx
Feb 14 2008 02:26 pm
Happy 21st "Stevie B" ,we all miss you so much. Your Dad and Craig have worked so hard on the " Big 21 Fun Run " project. I know you will be watching from above and laughing, not only will it be great for everyone competing (or should that be taking part !!) it will obviously raise lots of money for worthy sporting causes, it will also be yet another very special day for all of us involoved and all of us never once forgetting, its held in your loving memory Mate.

Feb 13 2008 11:17 pm
Stevie, what a mixed day today, thinking what we would all be doing tomorrow or probably the weekend with some kind bash for your 21st, how grown up but still with sweetness you looked at your 18th and how great to see you and all your mates having such a great time , they were all lovely your friends all seemed friendly polite but having a great time together,was great to be part of that and hopefully those lovely happy memories will keep us all strong and help us get through tomorrow.thinking of you lots with warmth in our hearts Stevie, missing you darling,karen graham clayton tommy and his now tribe of kids. x x x x
Jan 24 2008 07:10 pm
Stevie B, just to let you know that Im missing you so very much. Went back to work today, having been feeling so rough this week with cold and chest infection. As I left work was thinking about your 21st and Valentine's day approaching and what we would be planning if you were still here with us!! Decided to take Billy dog for a walk in the sunshine when I got home to get some fresh air, and as usual when Im a bit low, their appeared that little robin as bold as could be,in the wood, swooping down near my feet.
Then sitting in the tree looking at me.
People would say that Im cracking up in my belief, but for me its a sure sign that your watching over me!!!!
Thankyou darling.
Love from your silly old Mumsyxxxxx
Jan 5 2008 02:37 pm
hello stevie, well another christmas past and a new year has begun without you and i cant bare to imagine how your mum dad and brother are feeling we too found it hard not to think of your passing and how unfare it was that such a legendary and top man was taken from his family and his friends. But your spirit is still very much alive as the foundation takes to the beach for what is going to be another great day in your name im sure money will be raised and fun will be had by all of us who attend. It will be strange running along the promanade raising money in your name when it only feels like yesterday me and you where running in aid of my friend who had cancer its gonna be hard i promise i will do my best. But i will never forget the reason why these events happen still missin ya mate but i know your watching down on us all keep smiling stevie and im sure you will be there on the 17th whispering in my ear "your so slow"XX
Dec 25 2007 01:27 am
Just cant believe that its been our 3rd year without you darling son!
Missing you so very much, and just wishing that Santa could bring you in his sack to us, with your lovely smiley face and bubbly personality. You loved Christmas!
We will try and enjoy this time as we know that is what you would want, but there will be one presence that we will be missing so very much.
With all our Love Mumsy, Dad, Jacques and Nanny Joanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Stevie,
I spent the 2 year anniversary in Chichester!! Everyone got together and we had a lovely memorial service at the tree. I am coming to see you today and visit your wonderful family.
I just want you to know that yourself, Bex and James will never EVER be forgotten. 3 incredible people whose legends will live on always.
Love you all so much...and miss you more than words can describe.

2 years ago today and we all recieved that tragic news.Time has rolled on and we all now have to live with our own precious memories of Stevie. Tony, Sue and Jacques have coped so very well and I know Stevie must have given them internal strength from above. The Steve Bernard Foundation, in Craigs caring hands goes from strength to strength. However, we all owe it to "Stevie B" to ensure his memory lives on with and in all of us.I am so proud to have know him and now to be a Director of the foundation and I will never forget that very special caring lad who was our "Stevie B", never.

Hi my darling boy,
Been missing you so much lately, once again we've had the new intake of students coming into Asda and Ive found this really hard, as it brings back such mixed up emotions.
That proud Sat in September when we took you down to Chichester Uni(you were so happy!) Then that awful night 6 weeks later when we heard the most terrible news! Then having to make another journey down to Chichester to the scene of the crash, and going to the Uni to meet all the other parents, will always haunt me!
I try to keep positive for most of the time, and my good friends are always there for me. Thankyou guys!
The fun run organizing is coming together, so looking good for Feb 17th next year!
Can I wish belated greetings to Pete and Dave for their 21st Birthdays, was thinking of you guys and Im sure Stevie would have been with you celebrating!
Keep on watching over us Stevie, especially your lanky brother, big Dad, Ross, Laura and our support line Craig!
Missing you more than words can express.
Love Mumsy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Stevie Hi,
Its been a while since I have been on here. However, as I know you are aware, you are never far away from my thoughts. I look and ponder at your photo corner in the CFC bar on every visit being greeted by your warm smile. I miss and will never forget you. Stevie you epitomised everything a gifted young sportsman should be. Your Mum, Dad and Jacques are still grieving badly, along with the rest of your family and many mates. I just can not understand how nice people like you are taken from us, when there are so many bad persons left here to ruin lots of lives, thats where my own belief in relegion is taken to task. Stevie, please be here for your family and all your many mates as that awful November date approaches, keep them strong (especialy Laura ). Thanks for entering my life, I will never forget you Son. You are still my very special CFC number 10 and always will be, oh how I wish you were still here with us, we all miss you so much. XX.
Mick

Hi Stevie,Missing you loads darling, Was sitting here thinking of how much you and Jacques put smiles on our faces with your messing around with each other up in such a playful way and watching you play football or cricket in the garden and of course the odd throw of the ball in the house when mum wasnt watching,What great humour you two provided on our visits,Well mannered, funny ,clever,cheeky, Warm caring and O so smiley thats you Stevie summed up.keep your friends and family safe and give your grandad John a hug from us all we miss him and his 1 line of every song!!Love you young man. big hugs.

Stevie B,
firstly just wanted to apologise for leaving such a gap between posts...need i say however you are constantly in my thoughts.
I have been going through a really tough time emotionally recently...clearly it's never easy, but for some reason i went somewhat downhill??
I am asking for your support, along with that of Bex and James whilst i train for the London Marathon of 2008, i now have something to focus on...raising money to help people.
I constantly dream about being able to change the past and bring back 3 of the most amazing people i have ever met...however i know that i have to accept that this is beyond my power...but i want nothing more than to make you all proud! Therefore, I am going to run the marathon to raise money for individuals and their families who have been through anything half as dramatic as what we all did that night of Novemeber '05.
I know i am rambling on about myself now...which is never good. I just want yourself, Bex and James to look down on me and be able to smile, to see me changing and dealing with my issues in a more beneficial way!!
I would give anything, and i mean anything to see your gorgeous face again Stevie. You're absolutely out of this world, and you are so important to so many people that you will live on in our thoughts and hearts forever!!
Love to all your lovely freinds and your awesome family.

Aug 25 2007 05:02 pm
Dear Stevie,
As the summer draws to a close we are once again getting ready to tour as the bournemouth boys! We are off to Malia this year, I hope that you will be there with us in spirit!
Despite the enjoyment and happiness that comes with our weeks away, they are always tinged with a degree of sadness. I remember the time we spent in Zante, the last time i saw you in fact, with such contentment. For the Zante 10 it was and may always be the best week ever. You played such a huge part in that, and there will always be emptiness when we travel without you, but we are getting on with stevie b as our inspiration.
Each and every time i think of you I miss you more, although i am comforted by a number of things, the compassion of your mum, dad and brother, the friends whom we call our own and the friendship we shared in the 7 years I knew you.
Look after everyone who knew and loved you, we all need a bit of guidance every now and then.

Love and missing you so very much.

Stevie B,
The pain of loosing you is still so bad, having just had another Birthday without you around, just makes it all the more harder. Nevertheless spent a lovely evening at Wetherspoons with close friends and I drank just a bit too much also. My head said it all the next morning!!!
There was another lovely tribute to you opened last week, in that the Longjump Pitt at St Marks was finally unvailed. Jacques took the first official jump and Craig, Mick, Dad and myself looked on very proud that this had finally been achieved.
Keep thinking of all the lovely times that we had together, and most of all your Sunny Smile(bet you were laughing at me as I started vets job Tues, and jacked in on Weds!)
Spent a lovely weekend with Karen,Gray,Clayton and his girlfriend, but there is always an emptiness without you around....
Keep giving us strength our lovely boy,miss you so very much.
Love Mumsy, Dad and Jacquesxxxxxxxx
