Lauren Marie Collicott was born on 7th September 1998 to mummy Tracy and daddy Mark. She weighed in
at 7lb 1oz and had lots of black hair. Two days after she was born we were all ready to go home so
that Lauren could meet her excited brother and sister Matthew and Justine. We were waiting for the
usual check before leaving,when the doctor finally came round,they found a slight murmur on Lauren's
heart. They suggested that we went to Harefield hospital a few days later to have it checked out
further. At this point we were not at all worried,just was happy to be a family with our new baby.
She went for her scan at Harefield hospital and it was then discovered she had a congenital heart
condition called Tetraology of Fallots. At this point they were telling us all the complications
that could arise with this condition and how to deal with any episodes of breathlessness which sort
of went over our heads because she really didnt look like she had anything wrong with her.
We went home and carried on with a normal life. As Lauren got a bit older it was slightly noticeable
that she was very tired when she tried to roll over and sit up,yet she managed to reach these
milestones. It was suggested that she should have an operation that would treat her condition
completely,this was scheduled for 5th May 1999.
Lauren was a very happy baby always smiling and laughing,she loved to play with her toys in
particular her blue dog,octopus and whinnie the pooh rattle.
The day before her operation she was like any normal baby,she was whizzing up and down the hospital
corridors in her baby walker with glitter on her face.
Her operation took place on the 5th May 1999,and everything looked like it had gone well in the
operating theatre,although whilst in recovery Lauren kept having cardiac arrests. It was at this
point that it was said that she had been given the wrong medication in recovery however this was
never proven. The following day things were still not going well and they decided Lauren's only hope
was to go on the EKMO machine, at this point we knew that there wasnt much hope,but we felt we owed
it to Lauren to try anything that could save our little girl. We decided at this point to phone
family and friends,and the same day they all made the journey to the hospital.
On 8th May 1999 the doctors did the dreaded test to see if she would pull through and the result was
not good,it was the result that we had been dreading and we had to make the heart breaking decision
to turn off her machines. Lauren's nanny lives in Spain and had got on the first plane as soon as
she realised Lauren wasnt going to live,sadly she never made it in time too say goodbye.
Our precious baby girl, daughter,sister,granddaughter,niece,cousin had passed away. The grief that
was felt was a pain like no other.
We decided to have Lauren cremated and she had a small intimate funeral.
We wanted to have Lauren close to us at all times,and her daddy Mark created her special garden
inside our own back garden,enclosed with its own fence and pretty flowers,ornaments and a bench
which we often sit on to remember her.
Lauren now has another sister Georgia and another brother Alex,who visit the garden every day along
with Niece Sapphire and Nephew Brennon.
Every year on Lauren's birthday we release balloons into the sky in memory of our beautiful girl.
Even though the years pass and we have to get on with our lives,she is there with us every day,we
can sense she is with us and we try to keep her in our lives by visiting spiritualist evenings and
churches,we will never ever forget her and will continue to talk about her and remember her.

Thinking of you is Easy,
We Remember you each day.
The heartbreak that we feel
Just never goes away,
♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱
Nothing is the same no more
As we try to carry on,
We want the way it was before.
We found out you were gone,
♥⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰⊱
Yes we have our memories,
We also have the pain,
But all we ever wanted ..
Was to have you home again.

There's a special kind of feeling,
That's meant for you alone,
A special place within our hearts,
That only you can own.
FOR TUESDAY
If only prayers were answered,
& wishes did come true,
Our only wishes with all our hearts,
Would be to still have you

We send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of our precious angels

FOR THURSDAY
I lit a candle for you today

I will forever keep you, gently on my mind
FOR FRIDAY
Angels
When you were born, an angel smiled,
As you became a child, an angel sat on your shoulder
When you became an adult, an angel held your hand
As you grew old, an angel walked down the road with you,
And, when you died, another angel got their wings.
FOR SATURDAY
Letter From Heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said,
"I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed
While you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
FOR SUNDAY
Reply to "Letter from Heaven"
My Dearest Loved one:
I received your Letter from Heaven,
It made the teardrops fall.
But knowing you’re with God above,
Sweet memories, I will recall.
I know that you are with me,
For I feel your presence near.
And if I listen closely,
Your voice I then can hear.
I know you’re watching o’er me,
As you promised you would do.
And when I feel so saddened,
It’s your letter that sees me through.
When I lay in bed at night,
The day’s chores put to flight,
I truly feel your presence,
Like a warm and glowing light.
The rocky roads you mentioned,
And the hills that I must climb;
I’ve done exactly what you said,
By taking one day at a time.
I’ve tried to help others,
Who are in sorrow and in pain.
And now I am contented,
My day was not in vain.
I’ll lend a hand, as you have said
When someone is feeling low.
I’ll pray for them and be here,
‘Till on their way they go.
And when it’s time for me to go,
To join you in heaven high.
My wings I shall spread wide,
To my home up in the sky.

Memories Of Me
I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done..
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave behind
When life is done.
FOR SATURDAY
Separated For Now
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 candle be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.
FOR SUNDAY
A Special Gift
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Angel, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

And died beloved by all.

ROSES GROW IN HEAVEN
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved ones arms
And tell them they're from me
Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turn 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...
FOR SATURDAY
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
As you hold me close in memory,
Even though we are apart,
My spirit will live on,
There within your heart .
I am with you always.
When you lean on trusted friends
And their caring hugs enfold you,
Within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.
And beyond the far horizon
When we'll finally be together,
Where love will be eternal
And life will last forever.
I am with you always.
FOR SUNDAY

Wave of Light - 15/09/09
Candles are a gift of light
A tiny sun
A bit of star.
No other dancer in the night
Dances with such sheer delight
Each a glimpse of what we are
Shining innocent and pure.
Love to you and all your family precious angel xxxx

Take a moment of your day
To maybe sit and in your mind
Think of all the precious babies
Yours, theirs and mine
Those whose short lives were over
Before they had really ever begun
Those precious little bundles
Who have made us all a Mum
Their tiny lives have touched us all
And what I want to say
They have brought us all together
Each and every day
The babies whose beautiful faces
In our minds forever will be
Whose names are etched within our hearts
For anyone, the whole world to see
The babies who touched our lives
Who we think of through our tears
I hope in time we will be able to smile
When we remember them through the years
So this week while we remember
All our babies who had to go
We shall show the world we are united
And how we love and miss them so

Life's A Climb - Miley Cyrus
I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
there's a voice inside of my head, tellin' me
"you'll never reach it"
every step I'm takin'
every move I make
feels lost in no direction,
my faith is shakin'
but I gotta keep tryin'
gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb
The struggles I'm facing
the changes I'm taking
sometimes they knock me down, but
no I'm not breaking
I may not know where, but
these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most
I've just gotta keep goin', and
I gotta be strong
just keep pushing on, but
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb
Keep on movin'
keep climbin'
keep faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
the climb
keep the faith, keep your faith!
My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...
***********
I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...
***********
I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...
***********
I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...
***********
I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...
***********
You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...
**********
I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...
♥*^i^*♥*^i^*♥*^i^*♥*^i^*♥*^i^*♥*^i^*♥*^i^*♥
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile
because she has lived
You can close your eyes
and wish that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes
and see all she's left
You can remember her
and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory
and let it live on

Tributes For This Week 12th October
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MONDAY
Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
FOR TUESDAY
Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.
FOR WEDNESDAY
We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.
FOR THURSDAY
Thank you for loving and sharing,
For giving and for caring.
God bless you and keep you,
Until we meet again.
FOR FRIDAY
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
And whispered "Come to Me".
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
FOR SATURDAY
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
FOR SUNDAY
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
