Hi, Im Emily, Izzys big sister.
On November the 10th, 2006, Isabel ('Izzy') Borau was found dead in her Benhill Avenue
flat in Sutton, Surrey. She had hung herself. Izzy was only 17 years old, a shining star taken away
from us in what can only amount to a moment of madness. Izzy had three older sisters, Emily(me),
Anna and Jenny, and a younger brother, Hannes. Peter, Izzys dad committed suicide in 2005. Kate,
Izzys mum lives in Sutton with Jenny and Hannes.
So many people have asked me to create a website for Izzy. More recently we have experienced a
double tragedy as Anna took her own life on January 11th. There is a separate Gone Too Soon website
for Anna, please visit it.
Nothing compares to the pain of losing a loved one to suicide, but by creating this site I hope I
can reach out to others who knew Izzy, and let them know that they are not alone.
'For everything I touch, you touch,
For every step I take, you take,
For every breath I breath, you breathe,
Every move I make, you make.
I told you we'd make it to the sunshine one day,
You just got there a little quicker'
(Tupac Shakur, The Good Die Young)

MY BELOVED ANGEL
Each day I wake up from a terrible dream,
Only to find the world has changed.
I go to your room; your things are still there
Your toys, your medals and your favorite bear.
The scent of you lingers, the smell of your hair
Memories of you, I find, are everywhere
Your precious books are stacked by the bed
And tissues that captured your tears as you read
Your paintings and drawings still hang on the wall
Collections of seashells and rocks from the beach
Bring back the memories of the times well spent
How do I go on without you by my side?
To love you to hold you, with smiles and pride.
My heart, it is broken, my dear beloved child
I miss your laughter, your music and your smiles,
All of our dreams of the future will never come true
The 'whys 'and 'if onlys 'endlessly swirl in my head
Please tell me, oh God, I wish I were dead
I want to be with you every second of the day
But Dad and your brothers, they need me to stay
Your friends and your family will never forget,
Your friendship, your love and your gentle kindness
You will live on forever in their hearts and their minds,
I will love you forever my darling, my child...
Birthday girl.
Twenty years ago today you were born Izzy.
My darling baby girl.
Miss you so very much, wish things could have been different.
Your cousins Michael and Jeff and baby brother Hannes will be with me as we let off three pink balloons by your grave......hope you receive them in heaven.
God Bless you darling.
Love you and miss you so badly. please come and visit me in my dreams.
Mummy.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
â™° For Izzy with love â™°

I ONCE HAD SOMEONE SPECIAL THAT MONEY COULD NOT BUY
I HAD A SPECIAL DAUGHTER BUT I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE
IF I WAS ASKED ONE QUESTION WHY I THOUGHT THE WORLD OF YOU
I COULD HAVE A MILLION ANSWERS AND EACH ONE WOULD BE TRUE.XXXXXX
I am so sad to have only just heard about this. I don't know if you would remember me, but I went to school with Jenny, and she used to speak so highly of you. It is a terrible loss for all who knew you, I just hope that you are resting peacefully now wherever you are.
With all my love and best wishes to you and your family.
Emily Cohen
Joy is not a treasure you can lose.
Unless you will not, you will be consoled.
Linger with me long as you may choose.
In music as in life no joy is cold.
Undo, then, the tight corset of your grief
So that you might enjoy the moment's keening.
Give ear to music, eloquent though brief,
Restoring to the miracle its meaning.
Of all we think and feel and say and do,
So little, really, must be bound by time.
Still palpable, I'm here with all of you,
Musical as ever in this rhyme.
All I was, I am, and yet will be,
No less in love, although in memory.

REST YOUR WEARY HEAD AND DRIFT OFF INTO DREAMS,
FROLIC IN THE SUNSHINE AND BATHE IN GODS MOONBEAMS.
USE THE STARS AS STEPPING-STONES TO TAKE YOU TO YOUR PEACE,
THE PAIN OF LIFE FORGOTTEN NOW YOU HAVE FOUND RELEASE
WITH OUT RAIN A FLOWER FOLDS,THE PETAL DROP AND DIE,
THERE WAS NO WAY TO SAVE YOU,YOU COULDNT EVEN CRY.
SO WE CRY ALL THE TEARS INSTEAD AS WE MUST LET YOU GO,
TO HEAVEN AND GODS GARDEN TO BLOSSOM AND TO GROW.
THE LITTLE SEED IS PLANTED,YOU'LL BE WATERED EVEY DAY,
THE ANGELS WILL TEND ALL YOUR NEEDS AS IN THEIR ARMS YOU LAY.
YOUR LIFE WILL BE AMAZING NOW AND FULL OF WONDEROUS THINGS,
REST IN PEACE DEAR SWEET DESIREE,GO FLY ON ANGELS WINGS.

~ In My Mind (by Jenn Farrell) ~
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there,
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair."
You say you were chosen for His garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet,
"God really needed me
That's why I couldn't stay."
It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above,
I've always had my angel
Whose heart was filled with love.
Wherever the ocean meets the sky,
There will be memories of you and I.
There is a little bridge..
Past the moon up high
All our Angels walk over it
And God greets them in the sky
There is a little bridge..
A bridge thats made with love
Especially for..
Our Angels..
In heaven up above
There is a little bridge..
Where there is water down below
The bridge is covered in Angel dust..
And the water really does glow
There is a little bridge..
Over the rainbow way up high..
So close your eyes..
Make a wish..
For your Angel in the sky
