Our Tribute:
Lauren was our second daughter, and we had wished for her birth for many years after conceiving our first daughter Rebecca in 1996; the wait, and unexpected news after 6 years, was a dream come true. Unfortunately, Lauren suffered severe brain damage. However, through her shear determination, she managed to brave her period upon a ventilator, amazing hospital staff, and eventually gracing our company at home for an unforgetable and cherised 19 months, until sadly, it was her time to move on.
Lauren was born on the 28th December at 1.21pm. She had dark brown hair and weighed in at 7.1 pounds. This later changed to a beautiful 'bright blonde' head of curly locks; her prominant blue sparkling eyes shall always remain an unforgetable memory.
Due to her condition, which consisted of numerous (putting it lightly) hospital visits, breathing difficulties, mobility problems, brain damage, etc etc, meant her life was never going to surpass that of me, my wife and her sisters. However, what we did receive was 19 months of unconditional love, support, unforgetable memories and heartache.
Due to Laurens' determination to exist and amaze, I cannot begin to try and explain what our daughters' very existence had upon us as a family; she changed our life and that of our families forever, not to mention so many others, in so many different ways. Lauren had helped us consider life in a very real and appreciative way. Her short time here, helped us to consider life moment by moment, day by day.
Lauren has touched so many peoples hearts during her short existence, none more so than that of our community. Her presence and resilence helped 'touch' friends, neighbours and people we had never met. This helped to raise 'much needed' charitable funds, that eventually led to us purchasing specialist equipment that helped to produce a better quality of life for Lauren; Our thanks still go out to everyone that helped in our time of need.
The birth of our third daughter Madison, has helped us cope, in some way, with our loss. She was born to our delight, and at moments, anxiety, some 10 weeks before Laurens' passing. We as a family take this as a blessing, in so far that Madison was able to experience the love of her sister for a short period of time.
Yes, the pain, the anger, the guilt, the sadness all still exist somewhere within, but time, memories and Laurens' determination, have helped ease, to some extent, the very real 'heartache' that comes with losing a loved one. Laurens' funeral was testimony to the love and very real presence that she had amassed during her quiet, and humble presence, and the people she touched will also forever be blessed with ours and Laurens' unconditional love and appreciation.
Lauren you are still very much with us in heart, soul and body, and this we shall never forget, goodnight, godbless, until we meet again.
All our love
Daddy, mummy, Rebecca and Madison

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY
"I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine," He said.
"For you to love the while she lives and mourn when she is dead,
"It may be one or two years, or twenty-two or three,
"But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?
"She'll bring her charms to gladden you, but 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 my search for teachers true,
"And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have selected you.
"Now will you give Lauren all your love, nor think the labor vain,
"Nor hate me when I come to call to take Lauren back again?
I fancied that I heard them say: "Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
"For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter Lauren with tenderness; we'll love Lauren while we may,
And for happiness we've known forever grateful stay.
"But should the angels call for Lauren much sooner than we'd planned,
"We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."
Happy Birthday Lauren, we all still miss you very much, lots of love Mummy, Daddy & Rebecca & Madsion.

Well, I'm nearly there Lauren, I qualify in a few weeks, and if it wasn't for you, I would not have been able to do this, your strength and my memories of you have helped make this possible. I cannot believe it has been just over 5 years since you left us. I can still remember you as if it was yesterday. We will meet again soon, so save a space for me up there and take care.
For you my angel, love always

Merry Christmas Lauren xxxx
A Mothers Poem.
Every day, it passes,
Along with each New Year.
I often find I think of you,
And always shed a tear.
People say that it gets easier,
The pain does go away.
Yet I just find that missing you,
Gets stronger every day.
I wonder what my life would be,
With you by my side.
First day at school, you’re growing up,
Strengthening my pride.
A mother’s love is endless,
Maternal love abounds.
But it’s not the same as you being here,
Knowing you’re around.
And yet one day I know we’ll meet,
Our bond cannot be broken.
As each new day brings me near,
To words we’ve never spoken.
I love you so much sweetheart,
I miss you every day.
My arms long to surround you,
And show you in every way.
And so, my darling daughter,
I send you all my love.
I take comfort knowing you’re in his arms,
Looking down on us from above.
And as each new day opens,
I give a little smile,
For although you are not here with me,
I held you for a while.
As night’s dark sky surrounds me,
I often fantasize,
The twinkling of the stars reflect,
The twinkles in you’re eyes.
Although you can’t be with me,
We’re forced to be apart,
I carry a little bit of you,
Always in my heart.
