To all my gts friends,
I would just like to thank you all for your continued support and for lighting Olivia's candles
while i have been unable to.Olivia is now a big sister baby Oliver was born on the 6th september and
is doing fine so once again thank you all my love Louise.xxxxx


The beginning of December 2006 we found out i was pregnant we were shocked but happy.Over the next
few months i was suffering terribly with the pregnancy i was diagnosed with s.p.d.(symphysis pubis
dysfunction)which is basically your pelvic bones loosen and grind together causing severe pain and
gets worse with babys growth.Any way i was having to attend the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital every day
as thay were concerned my baby wasnt growing so wanted to keep a close eye on us.On July the 17th
2007 i was admitted and told they would induce me the following day.18th July 2007 i was taken to
the labour ward and enduced after 3hrs 15 mins of labour our beautiful daughter Olivia Helen Perkins
arrived weighing in at 5lb 10oz.I didnt get long with her as i was rushed to theatre as my placenta
needed to be removed surgically.


The next few weeks flew by with all the things that come with being a new mum.Olivia needed feeding
every 2 hrs because of her low birth weight but she soon was a little chubbs.We had so much fun in
such a short time we used to play clap hands and she would giggle her little head off and i used to
sing Bleeding love and beautiful girl to her and she would flap her arms about and kick her legs
with excitment.Daddy also used to play the guitar to her and she would try and grab it from him "oh
such lovely memories".


Then Saturday the 1st December 2007 was a normal day for us we just laze around watching sports.At
9pm i gave Olivia her bottle and we were taking photos of her posing in daddys hat at about midnight
we headed off to bed .The last thing i saw from Olivia was her beautiful smile then we all fell
asleep.The next morning about 7.10am we found her looking grey and not moving i instantly became
hysterical but had to go and phone an ambulance while her daddy was trying to revive her but to no
avail.Two friends came over and tried too, all i remember was standing in the street in the pouring
rain,next thing the ambulance came and whisked her away,daddy went with her and i followed in the
car .We got to the hospital and waited in a little room,what seemed like hours after we heard the
most haunting words ever IM SORRY.That was it my life felt over, my little Olivia had gone she was 4
months old.We chose not to see her as i could not let her go again.Within 1hr of leaving the
hospital the police arrived but was treated very nicely and had a lot of help from our liason
officer.The next days,weeks just went by in a blur......................................


On the 18th December 2007 at 10am my beautiful daughter was laid to rest surrounded by her loving
family and friends.Her daddy carried her in to the church which broke his heart but for those few
moments he had Olivia in his arms where she belonged Her beautiful song blared out which to this day
i can still not listen to.Well from the day she left us i have never felt the same i am no longer
complete without my little girl
Olivia.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I would like to take this time to thank my wonderful husband Glen for doing all he does for us
despite suffering himself.

All my other children for putting up with mum not being herself.

Sylvia and Melvin for their support and prayers.


My brother Nick for looking after us the way he did.

My mum and auntie Patsy for going to see Olivia and dressing her for the final time.

Rev Peter Barnes for blessing Olivia and providing her with a beautiful service at her funeral.

And last but not least all my G.T.S. friends who light a candle or leave a tribute or picture for
Olivia THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart you all mean so much to me all my love
Louise.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A Mother’s Love


I didn’t have to look into your eyes
To fall in love with you.
I didn’t have to hear you cry
To know you loved me too.
I didn’t need to hold your hand
To cherish you always.
Within my womb we shared our hearts
You touched my soul
You sweetened my spirit
You gave me memories I’ll always
Hold very dear
Yes, my heart aches since
You departed so soon
But a mothers love does not
End with death
For you are my child
my love is forever yours.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I send this to you today as this poem says it all
and i thank you for always looking in on my Baby Mark his Daddy and My Mum, Dad and my Brother,
love always sheila xxx

FEELINGS OF ME

No one knows how it feels to be me
Like a river my tears flow fast and free
As people walk by me I wonder what they see
Certainly not a person whose happy or carefree
At night I close my eyes & to god I make a plea
To give me strength to let the anger go away in every degree,
So that I don't have to live the rest of my life in a fantasy,
Where I dream that I live everyday in perfect harmony.

I am a tiny angel... I'm smaller than your thumb;
I live in peoples pockets, that's where I have my fun.
I don't suppose you've seen me, I'm too tiny to detect;
Though I'm with you all the time, I doubt we've ever met.
Before I was an Angel...I was a fairy in a flower;
God, Himself, hand-picked me, And gave me Angel power.
Now God has many Angels That He trains in Angel pools;
We become His eyes,ears,and hands,we become His special tools.
And because God is so busy, with way too much to do;
He said that my assignment was to keep close watch on you.
Then He tucked me in your pocket, blessing you with Angel care;
Saying I must never leave you, And I vowed to stay right there!

It's raining outside..
So cold and wet
Is it sunny in heaven?
It is I bet

Water falls from the sky..
Just like my tears..
That I cry

I cry so much..
And I hurt with pain
Since you went to heaven..
I've not been the same

I miss you so much..
As the days go by
My tears fall slowly..
As I wipe my eyes

I think of you..
With joy and pride
Please keep me safe..
And walk by my side

I look up to the sky..
As I think of you with love
My sweet Angel..
In heaven above

Happy Birthday baby girl.xxx

A SPECIAL ANGEL

THERE'S A SPECIAL ANGEL IN HEAVEN

THAT IS A PART OF ME

IT IS NOT WHERE I WANTED HER

BUT WHERE GOD WANTED HER TO BE

SHE WAS HERE BUT JUST A MOMENT

LIKE A NIGHT TIME SHOOTING STAR

AND THOUGH SHE IS IN HEAVEN

SHE ISN'T VERY FAR

SHE TOUCHED THE HEART OF MANY

LIKE ONLY AN ANGEL CAN DO

I WOULD HAVE HELD HER MORE OFTEN

IF THE END I ONLY KNEW

SO I SEND A SPECIAL MESSAGE

TO THE HEAVENS UP ABOVE

PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MY ANGEL

AND SEND HER ALL MY LOVE
