THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR VISITING MY PRINCESS' SITE AND LEAVING ALL THE BEAUTIFUL CANDLES AND
TRIBUTES. YOUR LOVING SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD. AND YOU AND UR ANGELS ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART EVEN
WHEN IM NOT ABLE TO COME ON THE SITE. XX
Sophie was born on the 17th of October 1999, Sophie was a twin to her brother Mitchell. She was born
to a loving family of her mother, Kerrie, father Geoff and brothers Josh and Lachlan. Since the day
Sophie was born she was clearly the more outgoing twin ready to take on the world and never slowing
down for anything. Sophie wanted to do everything and never had any fear. I am Sophies cousin and
from the moment I met Sophie in the hospital she was special to me and as I had the pleasure to
watch her grow we formed a close bond and she became like the little sister I longed for.
She would often stay at my house from the time she was little and I would help take care of her. I
was so happy to have my little princess in my life. No matter how bad things seemed a smile and a
hug from Soph and the world was wonderful again. She could always make me smile and I often looked
foward to the day I could drive so I could take Soph places like the movies and shopping and spoil
her.
In April of 2007 I went to New Zealand with my family. It was to be a wonderful holiday and the
night before we left Sophie came over to say goodbye and show us her little athletics trophies. I
will never forget that night, it was the last time i was to hold my little princess. She begged us
to let her come with us and I wish we she could have. If i knew that I would never see her again i
would have never let her go. I still wish I had have given her one more hug and said I love you one
more time.
While in New zealand I was having a great time until one night mum walked into the room crying. I
thought my siblings were fighting and then she broke down as she told me Sophie had drowned. That
was the moment my nightmare began. I was full of shock, I couldnt believe it. One second I was so
happy and the next my world came crashing down around me. It didnt seem real, how could this have
happened?
The next day we flew home from New Zealand early and reality started to sink in. I went to visit
Sophies family who we are very close, it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. There was
nothing I could do to take away their pain.
It has been over a year since me princess grew her angel wings and it still doesnt seem real. When I
go to her house I still wait for her to run out and leap into my arms and hug me. I miss her evry
second of every day and cannot wait to be with her in heaven and hold her in my arms again.
PLEASE LIGHT A CANDLE IN MEMORY OF SOPHIE!

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.
Thank you for all your support through 2008.
Thinking of you
Love Laura

At the sound of the tolling midnight bell
a brand new year will begin.
Let's raise our hopes in a confidant toast,
to the promise it ushers in.
May your battles be few, your pleasure many,
your wishes and dreams fulfilled.
May your confidence stand in the face of loss
and give you the strength to rebuild.
May peace of heart fill all your days
may serenity grace your soul.
May tranquil moments bless your life
and keep your spirit whole.

May 2009 ease all our hearts just a little bit.
God Bless.
Dear Sophie...
* ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆
I really want to tell you
Although, I’m sure that you can see,
Mums every thought of you is as loving as can be
Her heart is totally filled with things
That word’s alone can't say,
And you will be especially thought of
With love on Christmas Day.

God Bless you precious angel.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE
Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.

Thoughts Today Memories Forever
Angela(Christopher-John Rowe)
i miss you
my darling princess,
nothing can fill the emptiness u hav left in my heart. i ache to hug u one last time and to see ur smile that always brightened my world. sorry i dnt visit much lately but the pain of seeing ur beautiful smiling face and the many ppl who share ur memories is all too much to bear. plz no i constantly think of u nd spend every moment wishing u back but writing on ur memorial seems to make the pain all the more real again. i want nothing more for christmas than to wake up to ur laughter and watch the joy upon ur face as u open presents. i see so many lovely things for u nd so many excited lil girls, it breaks my heart in pieces to think that ur gone. so i stay away and attempt to block my pain although it all keeps flooding back. i wake each day to the question of whn the nightmare will b over so i can b by ur side again. i love u so much baby girl. u are my heart my world. u gave me so many memories and always made me smile.my one true wish will always b you and i long for the day u will meet me at the pearly gates.
goodnight my sweet baby girl. plz visit me while i sleep for i need u so much rite now . i love u more than anyone will ever no and miss u so so much. lots of butterfly kisses and great big hugs xoxo
A Child of Mine (Poem by Edgar Guest)
I will lend you, for a little time,
A child of mine, He said.
For you to love the while sshe lives,
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for Me?
She'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief.
You'll have her lovely memories,
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over,
In search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love,
Nor think the labour vain.
Nor hate me when I come
To take her home again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done!'
For all the joys Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her,
Much sooner than we've planned.
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.
Edgar Guest
Beyond the veil of tears,
Our sorrows will be healed,
And all the pain and suffering
That we have long concealed.
'Twill be a state of bliss,
Where love will know no bounds,
And every hour of every day
We'll hear such heavenly sounds.
No grief will there be known,
No heartache, no pain, no sorrow,
For loved ones will be there with us
To share that bright tomorrow.
Oh what a glad reunion,
Beyond the veil of tears,
Awaits all of us grieving
In just a few short years.
Love and God Bless
