I AM SORRY I HAVE'NT BEEN ABLE TO LIGHT CANDLES FOR
YOUR ANGELS THIS WEEK, BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS.
Aimee had two elder sisters, one (Kerry) passed before she was born and the other (April) had 14
wonderfull years with her. She loved her mum and dad so much, they were and still are her
everything.
She passed very suddenly, she went to the doctors on Monday with a sore throat,swollen face and
swollen glands, the doctor diagnosed her with an allergy and a sore throat.
The next day (Tuesday) she was off school... but later on in the evening she was showing signs of
getting better.
Then about half nine Tuesday night she was in alot of pain and not in a good way at all, she was
rushed to hospital and the doctors diagnosed her with glandular fever and 3 hours later she had
passed.
She was the one and only person ever to pass from glandular fever, so rare, but that doesnt make it
any easier in the slightest.
Aimee was an amazing girl, loyal, trustworthy, beautiful in every respect, she was just perfect.
She could never put a foot wrong she always put everyone before herself, she loved her family and
friends more than anything in the world, they meant everything to her.
She was such a happy girl, always had a smile on her face, always there for whoever needed her, just
so amazing its hard to put into words just how amazing she was.
We are all going to miss her so much, she had such an impact on so many people.
Love You Forever and a day
Miss you soo much Ayesy.

Yazmin, Bonnie, Nicola, Paige, Steph and Lauren (her bestfriends) said:
Oh Aimee how you made us laugh. You always had a great big smile across your face, and cheered
people up when they were down, but that was you, fun loving and caring.
We loved everything about you and still do. At school the times we would be late to lessons and the
excuses you would try to get away with. They were so funny! And The little sing songs that were so
out of tune. You will be so dearly missed by each and every one of us but never forgotten. We will
always love you and you will always be in our thoughts and our hearts forever. We know you are now a
shinning star in the sky and you will always be with us. We all miss you so very much
Stephen Drake, The Headteacher at Cheshunt School, said:
"Aimee-Louise was a lovely, vibrant girl, much liked by her friends and classmates and a valuable
member of our community. She was a model student."
Songs played at her funeral:
One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boys II Men. (On the way in)
Your Face by Lemar. (After mum and dad's eulogy)
Missing You by Brandy, Tamia, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight. (After my eulogy)

For you Tina.XXX
MY PHOTO ALBUM
The photo album of my mind
Holds treasured thoughts of you,
And I can almost see again
The things we used to do.
I hear your voice; I see your smile;
I feel you close to me.
The photo album of my mind
Shows how we used to be.
Time may have changed us through the years.
But I will always find
You’re just as I remember in
The album of my mind.
And, as I turn page after page,
Such precious scenes I see.
The photo album of my mind
Is very dear to me.
It holds the pictures of our past
Like reels of film unwind.
I cherish all those photos in
The album of my mind.

I Believe
I believe in Miracles
And dreams that will come true,
And I believe in happiness,
And friendship, through and through.
I believe that when you cry,
Your tears are not in vain,
And when you're sad and lonely,
Someone knows your pain.
I believe that when you laugh,
A sparkle starts to shine,
And before you know it sparks will spread,
From more hearts than just thine.
I believe the gifts you have,
Are there for you to share,
And when you give them from the heart,
The whole world knows you care.
I believe that if you give,
Even just to one,
That gift will grow in magnitude,
Before the day is done.
I believe that Love is still,
The greatest gift of all,
And when it's given from the heart,
It will conquer all.
The story of the Four Candles.
The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...
The first candle said, 'I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit.'
Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.
The second candle said, 'I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable.'
Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.
Sadly the third candle spoke, 'I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer.'
'People put me aside and don't understand my importance.
They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.'
And waiting no longer, Love went out completely.
Suddenly...
A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning.
The child began to cry,
'Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end.'
Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy,
'Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn,
we can re-light the other candles.'
With shining eyes, the child took the Candle of Hope
and lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out.
With Hope in your life, no matter how bad things may be,
Peace, Faith and Love may shine brightly once again.

Thinking of you.XXX
How quickly can you miss someone
A week,an hour,a day,
We started missing you Aimee
The minute you went away.
We try to come to terms with it
And accept that you have gone,
But without you life is not the same
It's such a struggle to go on.
We think God must have looked down
And seen how good you were
And he needed a special angel
To lend a hand up there.
It's the only thing we can think of
What other reason could there be?
We just wish He'd send you home
And from this heartbreak we'd be free.
missing you! :[

With You Always
As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere
Author - Margie Martinez
Perhaps
Perhaps, if we could see
The splendour of the land
To which our loved are called from you and me
We'd understand.
Perhaps, if we could hear
The welcome they receive
From old familiar voices-all so dear-
We would not grieve.
Perhaps, if we could know
The reason why they went
We'd smile- and wipe away the tears that flow
And wait content.

Thinking of you.XXX
I was loved, therefore I am,
And in being loved, I am treasured.
When I peeled away my layers,
And all that was left was my essence,
The bareness of me,
I was still loved.
I was loved, therefore I am,
And in being loved I was able to grow.
In my mistakes held,
In my successes celebrated,
I was always loved.
I was loved therefore I am,
And in being loved I learned to love.
In the sun filled day,
In the ecstasy of the night,
I was loved and loved others.
To be loved is all you need:
I was loved....and so, I will always be.
