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..

MERRY CHRISTMAS ANGELS

A Christmas Wish
How very much you're missed
Isn't easy to explain
For, words never could convey
The sadness and the pain.

Although gone now from this life
You've left memories to treasure
That are the sweetest kind
And will softly stay forever.

At Christmastime especially
You're missed throughout each day
And all those lovely memories
Are with us, here to stay

This Tribute Is For This Weekend A Little Longer Than Usual. Sorry It's So Early I've Got A Busy Weekend Ahead
________________________________________________

I will light my candles as usual on Sunday



Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.


When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.


But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.


A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

Christmas in Heaven
by Unknown

'Tis Christmas in Heaven
What a beautiful sight!
It's wonderful here;
Everything is all right.

The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars,
Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars.

I've met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here;
The reunion was lovely,
An event full of cheer.

And tonight we'll all gather,
In reverence we'll kneel,
For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is Real.

I think of my family
that I left behind
And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine

Please shed no more tears,
For my soul is at rest,
Just love one another;
Live life to its best.

Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven,
So I've heard them say,
Yet, Christmas In Heaven
Happens every day.

A Christmas Present

It's Christmas and I'll miss you
You'll never know how much
The greatest thing I could get
Would be just to feel your touch.

I know you're safe in God's arms
And you're as happy as can be
And I know that I'm being selfish
To want you here with me.

Have a lovely Christmas
I'll get by, you'll see
Just Promise me on Christmas day
That you will think of me.

My Christmas Wish For You

My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too.

.'Christmas in Heaven'

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
.
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?
.
I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell you of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
.
Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.

It breaks my heart to look at the photos i have of you, i search each and everyone and try an recall the moment that was captured.. Your beautiful face, your huge smile and shining green eyes tear at my heart honey.. I ache honey, i ache for you to have what you should have had- i ache to hold you, to cuddle you, to squeeze you so tight.. To see you now, to feel you.. to know that you're okay??
I can't, won't don't ever want to let go of you honey..
I will love you Kel, until the moon turns to rust, just as the song goes.. i miss you more than anything in this world and would give anything to be with you again- anything..
if there is a God, i hope he knows how desperate i am to be with you and pray that he'll let me- one day..

Kel, you are my daughter, my world.. and for as long as i'm away from you in body i pray that you know and hear my every prayer to you.. you will always shine so bright and be held so so bloody close..

God Bless you darling,
Love you forever
Miss you so so much..
all my love hugs kisses and cuddles..

Have A Good Weekend Everyone

This Tribute Is For Friday Got Busy Day Tomorrow


Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than 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 that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever


If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved One’s arms
And tell them they're from me

Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turns to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile

Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...



Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.

Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon

Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this tribute be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,

A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.

ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥


The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.

♥ღ♥

We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥

The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥

The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥

You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥

When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥

You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥

Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥
