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)

Izzy's poem. by Anna
My beautiful daughter, Anna, wrote this poem for Izzy after her death last Nov. Little did we know that Anna was to join her beloved sister only eight weeks later.
Izzy's poem.
It's hard to know how and where to start,
As I never thought of the day we would have to part.
But now it's here and I'm not prepared,
Because I never imagined losing you,
I would never have dared.
I'll do my best to say how I feel,
But I can't just talk about me,
I've got to keep it real.
You meant so much to so many people,
Your heart you really shared.
You only have to look around,
To see how many cared.
Izzy there's something so special about you,
You have this inspirational spark.
A lot us are struggling without you,
We can't bear to be apart.
You have strength thats is unbelievable,
You really are so strong.
That makes it even harder to understand and believe,
That you're really gone.
You never looked down,
You always looked up.
To you there was no such thing as bad luck.
Generous, kind and caring describes you so well.
The things you did for others, the stories I could tell.
After going through so much in life, you still wanted fun.
Just one of the reasons we have such a very proud mum.
I still remember the day you were born,
You were such a cute little tot.
I remember thinking to myself
'Mum, are you ever going to stop?!'
But, I'm glad that she didn't,
And now there are five,
I will still always say that.
Even though you're sadly not alive.
I have three beautiful sisters and I love them all so much.
I want them all to know I appreciate even the smallest touch.
Hannes came along and he was such a bundle of joy.
Mum got to call it a day; now she finally has her boy.
He has four big sisters, one's looking down from above.
I'm sure we don't need to tell him, he already feels her love.
We'll make sure he never forgets you, what an amazing person you are,
If he ever get sad and misses you,
We'll just tell him to look for the brightest star.
You'd be so pround of Jenny now, getting her first tattoo.
But everbody knows, she did it especially for you.
You would have laughed so much, if you had seen her pass out.
But knwoing you, you would still have worried about how she felt.
You and Jenny have a special bond, most of your lives you have been together.
You've got each other in your hearts, for now and forever.
As for me, well I thought I'd nver to able to dance again,
never get back on a pole.
But how could I do that when you loved it so much,
You told me once it was your goal!
So I will dance again and I'll be better then ever before,
I know you would want us to have great lives,
Everything we've freamt of and more.
I feel so lucky to have known you, the memories I have are like a hugh book.
I know I'll never miss a day, to flick through the pages to have a look.
Jeff's got too much beer now; he doesn't know what to do,
He alwys kept his fridge stocked up for when you wanted a few.
He's go to go the the football without you now, however bad that seems.
How much to two of you loved to support your favourite football team.
He loved you like a daughter and he was like your dad,
He's missing you so much now, but trying not to be sad.
Danny was like your big brother,
You had so many good times and laughs with each other.
He's feeling like he's lost his little sister,
It's going to be hard, how much he will miss her.
Auntie Pat was wondering if you've got an asbo already,
We all know you are a good girl really, so hopefully u wont get any!
I've never known anyone with so many friends,
The list in your phonebook seemed to never end.
Your best friend Gemma has always been by your side,
Just like everyone else she's found her pain hard to hide.
You are so popular, so well known and have so many mates,
I know you're waiting for everyone, when it's our turn at the pearly gates.
Your parrots, Malibu, Buddy and Scuba, you were like their mum,
They know your've spread your wings and flown now,
They want to be shown how it's done.
If I've got to this point and I haven't shed a single tear,
Then reading out the next bit, I will be extremely near,
Because it's about someone as special as you,
With the same pure precious soul,
She's had to let one of her babies go,
And now she feels far from whole.
She's held us together when we were nearly falling apart,
I wish I could lie right now, this has broken her heart.
Our dear special mum, no one will ever love uas as much,
I know she would do anything for one last touch.
If I had one wish, I would give my life for you,
I would do anything possible to reunite you two.
I know it could never happen so I'm going to stop wishing,
It wouldn't make anything better, someone would still be missing.
I know you're an angel in heaven watching over her now,
I hope you are behaving yourself,
You could be so naughty Isabel Borau!
I wish I could mention everyone, but this poem would never end,
It still wouldn't change anything; so many broken hearts need to mend.
My heart is in peices, but some how I'm being strong,
I think its cos deep down I know your not really gone.
Your're just around the corner, only five minutes away,
Watching over all of us , each and everyday.
Your loving spirit with all God's angels in the sky,
Happy and free, you didn't really die.
In memory of my two beautiful daughters Izzy and Anna. both died by passive hanging. together again.
love mummy. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sending Tears to Heaven
“An Everlasting Tribute to Your Loved One”
I’m sending with you a bottle, that’s filled with tears of love.
To take with you to heaven, to that wonderful place above.
Please take it to the angels, that are in the room of tears,
they’ll pour them in my bottle, where there these words appear.
“Oh how I Love You, and I will miss you very much.
I asked the Lord for you a Kiss, gentle to the touch.
His arms wide open, for a Hug to embrace.
You’ll hear Him say I Love You, and even see His face.
All these things I too will miss and you will never really know.
This bottle filled with tears of love,
not wanting to let you go.”

reflection...I cannot imagine losing a second child this way it is totally heartbreaking ...my son took his own life last year
Reflection
Another day for you to wonder, another day for you to mourn
It wasn't my intention to go before the coming dawn
My pain was deep within my heart and troubled head
It wasn't my intention to go without words said.
My frame of mind seemed normal, or so I heard them say
It wasn't my intention not to see another day
I did not mean to make you suffer or cause you so much pain
It wasn't my intention to never see you again.
Despair and confusion left my aching mind unsure
It wasn't my intention to suddenly close life's door
If only I could give you reasons and brush the tears away
It wasn't my intention to leave you and not stay.
I did not mean for you to grieve, now left alone to cry
It wasn't my intention to leave you, forever asking why
As the burdens of life's worries slowly ebb from my heart
it wasn't my intention to tear your soul apart
please look on the LINKS at GTS and you will find a group set up especially for those that lost a loved ones this way...it may help...we have nearly 60 members now!
To my mum
Right now I'm in a different place,
And though we seem apart,
I'm closer that I ever was...
I'm there inside your heart.
I'm with you when you greet each day
and while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too...
I'm with you every night.
I'm with you when the times are good,
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall...
I'll still be there for you.
And when the day arrives
that we are no longer apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
forever in my heart.
thinking of Izzy's family
To Where You Are
'Who can say for certain,
maybe you're still here?
I feel you all around me,
your memory's so clear.
Deep in the stillness,
I can hear you speak.
You're still an inspiration,
can it be . . .
That you are my
forever love,
and you are watching over me
from up above?
Fly me up
to where you are
beyond the distant star.
I wish upon tonight
to see you smile . . .
If only for awhile
to know you're there . . .
A breath away's not far
to where you are.
Are you gently sleeping,
here inside my dream?
And isn't faith believing,
all power can't be seen?
As my heart holds you,
just one beat away,
I cherish all you gave me
everyday . . .
'Cause you are my
forever love,
watching me
from up above.
And I believe
that angels breathe,
and that love will live on
and never leave.
Fly me up
to where you are
beyond the distant star.
I wish upon tonight
to see you smile . . .
If only for awhile,
to know you're there . . .
A breath away's not far
to where you are.
I know you're there . . .
A breath away's not far
to where you are.'
a year flies by
Darling Izzy. I had already lit a candle before I realised it is a year today since you went to the angels. I honestly don't know how your mum copes with losing two such lovely daughters. I lost one, and I am so paranoid about my other children that it drives me insane. Your mum is strong and an inspiration to us all. Help her to stay strong, and to cope without you. God bless you all, particularly on this day. Lots of love always, Angie x
RIP Beautiful Angel
Hi Isabel, as I have said to Anna tonight I hope you are now at peace and are united with your sister in watching over your family and proptecting them from anymore hurt.. xx

Fly with the angels.
A last goodbye
a kiss to the wind
no one knows
the pain I am in~~
I ache to hold you
to kiss your face
and now you are gone
without a trace~~
But memories I hold
deep in my heart
my love remains strong
we shall never be apart~~
Fly with the angels
and feel no more pain
I will love you each moment
'till we meet once again~~
