27/10/92 - Our Paul loved life so much..
Daily Mirror

A CUDDLY Woody Woodpecker sits by the bedside of Paul Pearson's heartbroken parents. They even take it with them when they spend time away from home. Woody was Paul's favourite toy.

It reminds Ken and Julie Pearson constantly of the cheerful, friendly lad who fought so bravely to overcome a speech impediment. Julie said: "It's like having a little bit of Paul with us all the time. We also have images of our son which will remain for ever.

The most vivid is of his happiness He was full of the joys of life. He was very outgoing, very trusting. Perhaps too trusting." From their home the couple and their other children - Kevin, 11, Claire, seven, and Christopher, five can glimpse the ravine where Paul's body was found.

But although the sight haunts the family, they will not move away. The speech therapy unit which Paul attended has introduced an annual trophy in his memory for the best achiever. Julie said: "It's the Cheerfulness Trophy a fitting tribute to Paul."
