Kelly was born on Wednesday 6th July at 9.44pm
She was tragically taken from us on the 17th August 2006
Kelly was 18 yrs and 6 weeks at the time of her being taken.. Kelly was driving home on the 17th
August at 9am.. She was coming home and we were going to collect her A Level results.. Kelly's
beautiful life was soo cruelly torn away from her..
We all love you honey, you'll be in our hearts forever
xxxx
Every minute of the day I am talking in my head to Kelly, she is my constant thought, wish and
dream.. I recall memories from her as a tiny baby, her first smile, chuckle, word, favourite food,
crawl, and stumbling walk.. To an enquiring toddler who could dictate the phonetic alphabet at the
age of 3 and wanted something to do at every given moment..
Kelly had a Wendy house, one of those that you fix together with plastic poles, an I remember her
clutching her cup and her milk in a bottle and trotting off to her Wendy House to make cups of tea..
She’d tip the milk from her bottle and the juice from her cup into her little tea set and would
hand it out to whoever was visiting at the time.. Kelly, at the age of only18 months was such a
hospitable little girl.. ( I have photo’s of her trotting to her wendy house to make these
concoctions of tea)
When Kelly was 20 months, she had a little brother, she wanted to help hold him, bathe him, and feed
him.. Though Kelly wasn’t the only child anymore, it didn’t become a problem.. To Kelly,
looking back, I think it was something else for her to explore..
Kelly and Max.. they were so close.. Not only in age, but everything.. If Kelly was in the
garden, Max would be in hot pursuit, if Kelly was sat with me, an we were reading a book, or
watching one of the Disney videos Max would be at her side.. When we went out with friends and their
children, Kelly and Max would be together.. A group of children were always around.. If you
could spot Kelly, you’d know Max would be at her side.. Wherever we went, whatever we did,
they’d be together.. Kelly had Barbie, Max had action men, though Max was more interested in
Barbie.. (some things don’t change)..
November 1991 Kelly had a little sister.. I’d bathe Naomi, Kelly would bathe her doll.. I’d
feed Naomi, Kelly would put her doll under her jumper to feed it too.. I’d change Naomi’s
nappy, and Kelly would turn away- she didn’t like that part of pretending to be a mum.. I
remember Naomi being asleep in her mosis basket this one time and me being out of the room, on my
return Kelly had climbed up, picked Naomi up and had her on her lap.. I couldn’t quite believe
that she’d managed to do this- and Naomi had slept through the whole experience.. Kelly was only
4 and a half at the time, and though she went to ballet, she wasn’t the most agile, as any other
child of this age.
As a little school girl I remember her being so excited at what had been taught that day and from
the moment I’d collect her from school there would be a bombardment of questions.. Who, what,
where and why were at the top of her vocabulary..
I have each and every school report from 1993 to this year..
Some of the comments from her first teacher were as follows;
“Kelly is a quiet class member with an amusing sense of humour. She is always polite and
well-behaved. She works well and produces work of a high standard”….
Kelly had a competitive nature, and liked to do well in all that she did.. She was never arrogant
about her ability and would get embarrassed with praise when I ‘bigged her up’ in front of
people.
Kelly never, ever gave me cause for concern throughout her education. She loved to learn and to be
taught..
I can remember us going on holiday for the first time to Tenerife, with Kelly’s Nan, Kelly was
nearly 6. Max and Nomi would be off with the rubber rings, buckets and spades and Kelly would also
want to play with them for a while.. She’d find shells or pebbles and make patterns with them,
(maybe this was the start of the pebble fetish)??but then she’d want to read, or draw pictures..
More often than not, Kelly would have her head in a book.. Wherever we went, whatever we did,
she’d want to learn..
Whilst on this holiday Kelly sang on a Karaoke for the first time.. She was so cute, she sang a
song by the Carpenters- Close to You.. The words in this song are so poignant, and each and every
time I listen to this song, it reminds me of her singing it, beautiful, confident, yet so small,
with such an angelic voice..
Kelly was so methodical in all that she did. She’d keep all the little ticket stubs from all the
places we visited, Zoos, Theme parks and cinemas. Kelly would want to keep anything that would
remind her of a place we or she’d been to, and always put her memorabilia somewhere safe. Kelly
has ticket stubs from concerts that she went to, the places she visited in Rome, the tickets saved
off gifts that she’d received.. Anything and everything meant something to her..
When we moved to Ryall I can remember Kelly walking into her bedroom for the first time and ripping
the wallpaper off the walls.. it was Ghost Busters, and she didn’t want it on.. Before we’d
even unpacked the lorry and moved everything into our home, Kelly had more or less stripped her
whole bedroom.. She always knew what she wanted, and never left things that needed to be done..
She got on, and did it, no matter what..
When Kelly became an adolescent the hair changed colour.. (as did the attitude) I can remember her
asking me to dye it for her, and she’d said that it wasn’t permanent and that it wasn’t as
dark as it seemed on the packaging.. I helped dye her hair, and remember getting it everywhere..
Kelly had it all over her neck, ears and forehead.. She spent hours trying to scrub it off with all
sorts of solutions..
Kelly had many friends at the time, quite a few were boys and many a time she’d be chatting to
them outside her bedroom window.. I can remember her first boyfriend and giving the ‘I hope you
aren’t doing anything that you shouldn’t be doing’ chat.. Kelly was quite embarrassed about
this and did fret that I’d do the same again with future boyfriends.. but it didn’t stop them
coming round, I think maybe Kelly warned them that I was a bit of an ogre and to ignore anything I
said..
Kelly had her first little job at the age of 14.. I can remember going with her for the interview
and talking for her to the landlord.. Kelly overcame being shy and worked as a waitress in a pub
within Upton.
I can remember going there for a meal and Kelly serving us.. I’d watch her scurrying around from
table to table, and always being so polite.. Kelly was only 14, she worked so hard for anything
that she wanted.. She didn’t ever expect anything to be handed to her, she had a bit of
independence and loved it..
Kelly always had a little part time job from this age, she went from being a waitress, to a
domestic, to a shop assistant.. Kelly would never think of giving it up and bumming around.. she
was always so responsible..
Kelly was looking forward to life after 6th Form.. She’d decided that she’d like to go to
University and she had told me that Linda and Kelly had many discussions about her future and what
it would hold.. I know that Kelly confided in Linda a lot, and that Linda, plus other teachers held
a special place within her heart..
During the summer, Kelly had mentioned that she may have a year out, to work and save. She’d also
said that if she didn’t get the results she needed she’d apply again the following year.. Kelly
was never fazed by anything.. She planned for everything, and would always think of what she could
do if things didn’t go according to plan..
Kelly is the most precious, caring, hard working, loving person I know. As Kelly grew from a tiny
baby, a toddler, a little school girl, an adolescent, a beautiful young lady and my best friend my
love grew too.. This will always be, my love for Kelly will never stop..
We don’t have my wonderful daughter to look up to in body, to admire, to love and be loved by..
Kelly’s future, her dreams and aspirations have been so cruelly torn from her.. I yearn every
moment of everyday for her to be home and living the life that she so much loved and enjoyed..
I’d do anything for her to be here with us. Anything..
But what we do have, is each and everyone of our cherished memories.. And I, like I’m sure all of
you, will hold on to her through these, forever.. Kelly will live in my heart and mind through
everything we do.. She will be at our sides, and we’ll smile at the wonderful, beautiful memories
that she has given us.. We will always miss her, and wish she was here as we are.. But again,
though we may not be able to see or touch her, she will live in our hearts forever..
Thank you so, so much Kelly, for making me the happiest proudest mum in the world.. I love you so
much.. Thank you for everything honey..

Life is Hard Without you
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Missing you more with each new day
and trying to be brave...
Thinking of our happy times
and all the love you gave...
Feeling very grateful
for the dreams we saw come true,
For every lovely thing we shared
and, most of all, for you...
Treasuring each memory
that keeps you ever near...
Remembering familiar things
and wishing you were here.
Life's very hard without you
but that is the price to pay
For all the shared and precious times
grief cannot take away.
♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

YOUR SPECIAL ANGEL
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day, or the darkness of the night.
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.
When something inside you just makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart.
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your head on your pillow, in the dark.
When you're alone, and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung.
When waking up in the morning, any troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel, before a new day has begun.
Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear;
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near.
I'm no longer able to be here in body, but I'm with you everyday,
As my loving heart, my soul, and my spirit, will never be far away.

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved ones gone
those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
for as long as there is memory
they'll live on in the heart.
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
There is a special place in our hearts
for those we have loved
for those who have loved us
without question, without a word or promise
there is a special place
where there is no pain or fear
where love flows freely
there is a special place to rest
in our hearts forever.
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
I know how much I miss you
I feel an emptiness inside
It shows in everything I do
It's something I can't hide
I simply miss you being there
Life seems dull and flat
Without you nothings quite the same
I can't say more than that
But one day we will meet again
I know that this is true
But everyday until then
I know i'll just be missing you.

There are angels in the heavens
there are angels on the ground
there are angels all around you
just waiting to be found...
So when you're feeling lonely
or just a little blue
open your eyes to see the angels
they are there waiting for you...
Don't forget about these angels
during all of your good times too
for they like to share your happiness
and the joys that come to you...
They will wrap their wings around you
to protect and guide you through
all the sad and tragic moments
that this life can throw at you...
They are sent to you from heaven
from our father up above
so remember to look for the angels
they'll show you all gods love...
~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~
Have you ever truly heard
an angel whisper in your ear?
their voices are soft and comforting
letting you know you have nothing to fear...
If you listen very carefully
you might just hear their sweet voice
whispering to you of gods perfect love
and all things that make you rejoice...
They do their very best
to always watch over you
to keep you safe and happy
in everything you do...
So next time you feel lonely
kind of scared or feeling blue
just whisper to your angel
and listen...for they will whisper back to you...

I cannot dial your number
I can't get through to you
I called the operator
She did all that she could do
There is no code to heaven
I cannot place the call
No numbers left to try
I reckon i've tried them all
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
If heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to say
Tell you that I love you
Miss you since you went away
And how much I prayed to god
That he could have let you stay
Oh darling, if heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to know
Things I want to tell you
How do you feel?
Should I stay or should I go?
Are you looking over me
Do you see me cry a tear
Questions I want to ask
Answers I need to hear
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
My life has had no meaning
Since the day god took you away
I only know more sadness
More tears again today
Maybe one day i'll smile without you
Until then I will always cry
One day the sun may shine for me
Like it did for you and I
My life was for tomorrow
Now my life is yesterday
I cannot face this world alone
Please show me the way
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring you every day
If heaven had a phone
I'd hear your voice, know that you're okay
I just want to speak to heaven
please do you have a direct line
Operator says no number
But your loved one says they're doing fine
Love always Elaine x♥x♥
Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles Might Not Be Lit Until Monday Next Week It's My Birthday On Saturday So I Will Be Missing Christopher Even More Than Usual... Bless Him X
Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again.
I crash on rocks of anger;
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything just right.
There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
Our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.
