James Paul Severn

James is  the eldest son of Paul and Alison.  He has one brother Dalton and a sister Alex.  He lived at Athersley South from birth until he was around 15 when he moved to Oakwell.  James struggled at school due to being dyslexic.  He could show you how to do anything but ask him to put it into writing he would then struggle.  The teachers said James would struggle to hold down a job however James proved them wrong.  He went to work with his grandad as soon as he could.  He excelled as soon as he started, he had a thirst for knowledge. He was well respected throughout the trade and for such a young age new a lot.  This was because he started steel erecting straight from school and learned the old way.

Toni Merlehan

Toni was born into a broken family to a young mother, didn’t have a very good childhood or relationship with any of her family other than her big sister and best friend Roma. She travelled from a young age and partied too! She was so glamorous, beautiful and outgoing. She oozed confidence and humour. In 1987 she became an Auntie for the first time to Romas son Michael. She met Patrick in a wine bar in London who she then married in 1989 and had Amie. She lost her little Nanny in 1990 to cancer. Toni was remarkable in many ways and so selfless, in 1997 she saved a woman’s life who had been run over twice by a skip truck- they kept in touch and remained close friends. The same year Toni was diagnosed with cancer herself and went through an awful ordeal of suffering, surgeries, chemo therapy which resulted in losing her beautiful long hair. Thank goodness after a good fight she got the all clear and the cancer never returned. In 2007 she lost her sister and best friend Roma suddenly and unexpectedly, following this Toni had a breakdown and suffered extreme lows and suffered with the grief immensely. Once she got through the other side of the worst of the grief she decided it best to have herself checked for any health issues to ensure there was no genetic issues linked to Romas death. She was admitted to Charing Cross hospital in London where she was diagnosed with Peripheral Vascular disease, she underwent a 27 hour operation in an attempt to save her leg which they had told her was to be amputated. Luck was on her side, she was allocated the best possible surgeon (we believe down to fate) and he fought to save her leg and continued to fight for her legs and life for the next 8 years through 48 surgeries. During those 8 years Toni went through hell, had many near misses and did it all with a smile on her face. She had a heart attack, allergic reactions to medications, cardiac arrest (once where we officially lost her for a minute) and thanks to our nurse and friend Michael doing CPR for as long as he did we got her back. She truly appreciated life, lived for the moment, didn’t give a damn what anyone thought of her and loved her life. She loved her friends and would do anything for anyone.she was the absolute best mother that anyone could have ever wished for.
