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

Please help the pain stop,,,,,

Pain stuffed inside of me,Can't let anyone near me,Can't let anyone see the real me,Can't let anyone even hug me,All this pain that's held in me,Why can't anyone see the real me,Why can't anyone help me,Why can't someone just hold me,All this pain that's eating me,Can't let go of the pain in me,Can't get this pain from me,Can't get this pain out of me
When will the pain stop hurting me,Why can't I just feel me,Why can't I just be me
Why can't someone take this pain from me

This Tribute Is For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit Again As Usual For Monday


LITTLE ANGELS

When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so He takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realise God loves children
Angels are hard to find.

If roses grow in heaven,
Lord Please pick one for me.
Place it in my Loved ones hand
And tell them it's from me.
Tell them that I love them
And when they turn to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheek
And hold them for a while.
Remembering them is easy,
I do it every day.
But there's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.



I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.

Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.

So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.



If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.

But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.

This Tribute Is For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit On Sunday Night As Usual

Everyone Have A Good Weekend



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 am 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.
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.
When you think of my life on earth,
And all those loving years.
Because you are only human,
They are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
It does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
Unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
All that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
You wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
Than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you
And many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
By taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
And I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
The world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
Who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....
My life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody
Who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
As on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
And you've got Me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
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.

The moment that you died,
My heart split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their LOVED ONES,
Treat them with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and they’re not there.

A Monday Gift From Me To You
XxXxX

I send to you this morning a gift of words, like a cloud delivering rain.
May they fall upon you ever so gently and wash away your pain.
For you and all your loved ones, I bow my head and pray.
May these prayers somehow guide you and help you find your way.

My thoughts and prayers are also with you, as you begin your day.
Only You and I, and God, know what these words attempt to say.
Never look into the past – move forward and straight ahead.
Do as your heart tells you, your soul will be fed.
Always remember how very special you are.
Your friendship to me is a beautiful, bright shining star.

For this friendship that we share, I send this small token,
May it somehow help you repair all that is broken.
There is a power on this earth greater than You and I,
He is the one who stirs your emotions and allows you to cry.

Dear Mr Hallmark

I am writing to you from Heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my Mum, as she's finding it very hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a Mum too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she's cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my Mum so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My Mum carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes long into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr.Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind my Mum of her wondrous worth.
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr.Hallmark, I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity

If Only You Could See

I know you're feeling sad today
because I had to go.
I know your pain would turn to joy
if only you could see.
I'm in Heaven with Jesus now.
We laugh, we sing, we play.
He holds me gently in His arms.
I know no pain today.
And though we're apart for a little while,
Jesus has promised me
He'll someday bring you here
where we'll live for eternity.
