Story
The death of a loved one is one of the most traumatic experiences that can be imagined, but when it is the death of your child even more so.
Aston was much loved by his parents, stillborn at Birth he sadly never got to enjoy the life he deserved, and now he is refused peace as he sleeps. Some vile individual has again targeted his headstone and damaged it. Aston’s Birthday is on the 16th of July, and his Mam and Dad have the soul destroying experience of seeing his grave unmarked PCP are going to help support the family by fundraising for a replacement headstone.
So we ask the people of Hartlepool to do what you always do and help those in need. Please give anything you can on our page.
Snippet from Hartlepool Mail -
Anna and Carl Gorse say they have been left heartbroken as their son’s grave was damaged by vandals once again.
The parents tragically lost their son Aston Gorse on July 13, 2012, and he was delivered stillborn three days later.
They laid him to rest at Stranton Cemetery where they paid tribute to him with a range of commemorative items including a plaque placed into a planter on the grave side.
But the family say that their son has not been able to rest in peace as his grave is repeatedly targeted by those looking to cause damage each year.
The couple, who are full time carers to Carl’s son, who has special needs, say they discovered the latest damage when Carl walked by the cemetery on his way into town on Tuesday, July 2.
Police say they have received a report on the latest vandalism incident and their inquiries are ongoing.
Anna, 33, from the Owton Manor area of Hartlepool, said the vandal attack have left the family heartbroken.
She told the Mail: “Our son passed away in 2012 and every year since then, just before his birthday, his grave has been damaged.
