Chantel taylor, wiil always be known as channi,was taken by an evil murderer on 13th march 2004 at the young age of 26 channi was a full time mum of 3 beautiful children. channi lived in birkenhead all her short life leaving behind a lovely wonderful mum who she adored aswell as her dad, sister and 3 brothers who are totally destroyed by her loss. on the 13th of march 2004 chantel went out to the local 24 hour garage for cigaretts whilst out bumped into a local man who chantel knew from school they struck up a conversation which led to chantel being invited back to his house as they hadnt seen eachother for a few years, obviousley feeling safe to go back to his house to catch up. what chantel hadnt realised is that he had turned into a sick physcopath who was only out that night to do one thing and that is kill. whilst chantel was in his home he struck her with a meat cleaver at the side of the neck leaving her dead or dying on the floor,to cover up his evil acts and thinking he wouldnt get caught he mutilated her body and dismembered it, still to this day not telling where chantel is.
I karen chantels best friend am writting this tribute to a most lovely loyal beautiful true friend that channi was to me and all her friends. me and channi were friends from the age of 4 we went to nursery together and primary school. we didnt attend the same secondary school but we were still always best friends, enjoying all the fun things you do as best friends going to discos, cinema, fair grounds etc. Channi was always immaculate, looking her best, always had the best clothes as we got older and started to go out to pubs and clubs, id say, chan can i lend one of your dresses or suits im going out tonight ,channi always replied yea ka go and av a luck in my wardrobe, take a couple of things and try them and there are shoes there ka aswell, thats the friend my channi was. Chantel met her boyfriend at 16 and she fell in love with him, always tellin me her secrets because we always had a trust between us. when channi told me she was expecting her first baby i felt slightly dissapointed because i thought she was wasting her life but that didnt last long because channi was so positive reasuring everyone that she would be okay and would make a good life for herself and her baby plus her boyfriend was really good to chantel and had a good job and she had a strong supportive family behind her, anyway time went by and chantel gave birth to a beautiful daughter, channi was delighted with her bundle of joy. chantel loved being a mum she was a natural so content with her family life. After a couple of years chantel told me she was expecting her second baby she was so happy to have a brother or sister for her daughter,i was so pleased for channi a couple of months passed and i had some news for channi i was expecting my first baby it was lovely because we were pregnant together. chantel gave birth to another beautiful daughter she was so happy she would dress the girls in lovely matching dresses making sure they had matching socks ribbons etc, she was just happy in her own little world not a worry insight.shortly after having her second baby chantel got married she didnt have a big ceremony just a small reception with all her lovely family and friends around, chantel was so happy she had everything she wished for.on may 21st 1995 i went into labour chantel was right by my side making sure her girls were minded for the day so she could stay with me, hours passed and i was in a lot of pain chantel would be constantly askin midwifes what was happening making sure everything was okay, i ended up having to have a cecearian chantel had to go home to the girls but the next morning she was back at the hospital at 8am thats the friend my channi was. it was a lovely summer 1995, me and channi would always be out with our babys goin to the local park or the beach, southport etc it was so lovely oh i wish i could have them times back.as the years went by things were still great for chantel she was expecting her third baby, oh she wished for a boy and thats what she got a beautiful son chantel was the happiest mum in the world in her eyes her family was complete. thats when things started to go wrong for channi her husband who she addored and was so happy with started to drink, it started off a bit, but then it became a problem channi always stayed happy and possitive trying to keep her family together, but then the worst thing happened, well at the time it was the worst thing, her husband had an affair it destroyed channi. chantel seperated from her husband because she knew it would never be the same again, so she moved on, setting up home with the kids in a new home channi was looking happy again, her home was lovely and she was close to her mum who she addored and her mum addored channi, she was her little blue eye, i always said to channi your ye mums favourite, she would say i know ye! with her cheeky smile. a year had passed and channi started to go out for nights out with me and other friends enjoying herself, she would say to me ka im gunna save up and take the kids to greece because she had gone when she was a child and loved it. i hadnt seen chani for about a month when i decided to cal and see her it was like i was there the day before, nothing had changed only she had a new boyfriend it was a man we both new from are younger days channi seemed so happy i was happy for her, i would often call at channis at this time and not get an answer it was strange because she was always in and she would never ignore the door to me, it would puzzle me channi was acting out of character, all wasnt right with this new boyfriend.in july 2000 chantels older brother steven was murdered by his partner in his flat she only served 3 years for manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, this destroyed chantel and her family as i said they were a very close knit family,thats when things went down hill for chantel she was so lost, weak, and vulnerable. this new boyfriend who should of been comforting her and protecting her, introduced chantel to heroin chantel had never taken drugs before, she had had this perfect little life.chantel tried to protect this boyfriend from people knowing about his habbit, i now know thats why she didnt open the door to me on them occassions because he would tell her to ignore it. chantel was grieving badly over her brother and was at a really low ebb, somewhere in the time after stevens funeral this boyfriend offered channi her first smoke of heroin knowing how vulnerable she was, any other time channi was a strong woman and she wouldnt of even of contemplated it,chani always said she would come clean again, and it wouldnt be forever, i truley believe she would of come clean but she didnt get the chance, as this one mistake cost chantel her life.i only wish she hadnt gone out that night march the 13th to get ciggarettes she would still be here happy with her friends and family. the loss of chantel has been massive i miss her so much ill never have a friend like her again, her lovely lovely family are broken, chantel was a huge character and the light has gone out. Some people say why did channi take drugs, why did she say yes, i know why, because at that time in her life she didnt want to think why, she wanted the pain to go away and was influenced by the company she was keeping,Chantel was an amateur in the drug world when she was brutelly takin she didnt get the chance to realise the mistake she had made.So then i have to ask why aswell, why channi,why anybody, but why channi, so anybody who does say why did channi take drugs i say why, who are we to judge.
Channi my beautiful friend i love and miss you so much your in a better place chan, you would be so proud of your babies, well they are growing up now into lovely teenagers with all the love and comfort that you gave, surrounding them. i will always be there for your children and i will always protect them as you would and did for me, your mum is so lost without you chan wrap your big loving wings around her chan and protect her from any more pain.GOODNIGHT GOD BLESS PRINCESS YOU SLEEP TIGHT UNTILL WE MEET AGAIN LOVE YOU ALWAYS.

I heard Chantels Mum on Pete Price. It broke my heart. I wish you all the luck in the world trying to change our horrible laws. You are a very brave lady and your daughter would be proud of you.

________*♥*
FOR MONDAY
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
FOR TUESDAY
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day,
That we do not think of you.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure...
FOR THURSDAY
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
FOR FRIDAY
After Glow
I'd like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days
I'd like the tears
Of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.
FOR SATURDAY
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship started, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine to tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now; He set me free.
FOR SUNDAY
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
Eyes filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today...
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you...
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand...
That Jesus came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.
He said my place was ready
In Heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

☆ At Christmas Time ☆
Remember they are still with us,
We see their faces every day,
When we raise our Christmas glasses,
They are not too far away.
Though they're not here in body,
Their spirit is still here,
And as long as we remember this,
They always will be near.

Mum, please don't feel guilty
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
And the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some it's not many years
I don't want you to keep crying
You are shedding so many tears.
I haven't really left you
Even though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
And I'm closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say my name
I'm standing next to you,
I know you long to see me,
But there's nothing I can do.
But I'll still send you messages
And hope you understand,
That when your time comes to cross over,
I'll be there to take your hand.

If I had one last day
to tell you what's inside.
I'd tell you that i'm sorry
for all the times i've lied.
I'd tell you that i need you
to hold my hand today.
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please to stay.
You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would.
And say I'd love to stay
If only I really could.
Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever i was blue,
you'd wipe my tears and whisper softly
Don't cry I Love you too.
If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how i feel
I'd say whats in my heart.
If I had one last day
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away
In my heart, you'll never die.
*♥* MERRY CHRISTMAS ANGEL IN HEAVEN *♥*

LOVE DOROTHY AND FAMILYXX
Tribute to Chantel & Steven, I'm sure the pain of losing you both will never heal...
I have just seen the Living with Murder documentary. Jean, you are an amazingly strong woman and I can't send enough love to you. It's sick and disgusting that there are creeps in this world that are capable of taking our loved ones away without a care. I can't believe he has denied you the right to say goodbye to your beautiful girl. Just thinking of him makes me sick to my stomach. You must miss Steven and Chantel every single moment of every day. I know that no words could ever really ease your pain but please know that thoughts are with you from people all around the world. No one should ever have to go through what you have been through. Kia Kaha (stay strong) and may the beautiful memories of both your children live on in your heart forever. Love Sophie from NZ xoxo
