Katie Lauren Lewis

At 23 weeks pregnant I was told our daughter had Spina Bifida (anencephaly, a defect on the back of
her head, where her brain and skull hadn't developed) the consultants explained she was very ill and
would have no way of life if she survived the birth. We were told babies with this condition only
survive for a few hours after birth. The news was so devasting. Mummy had already had a
miscarriage in June 2006 so when I found out at Christmas 2006 I was expecting we were all so happy,
it was the best Christmas present ever.

We thought if I got past the 12 weeks stage all would be fine. At 17 weeks I felt you move for the
first time, I was so happy and couldn't wait for the day we could all be together. Your brother
would kiss and cuddle my tummy asking when you'd be here. He was so proud, he would tell everyone
at playgroup that Mummy was having a baby.

As you can imagine to find out the news was such a shock to us, we couldn't believe this was
happening.

We went back the following day for another scan to be done and for a second opinion the consultant
confirmed the findings were right. We were all hoping and praying they'd be wrong and that it was
just a grey area on the previous scan. We never thought we'd have a make such a hard decision. I
spent hours on the internet searching for details on this condition to see if anything could be done
and unfortunately it confirmed what the consultant at the hospital had said. I just wanted to wake
up from this nightmare to be told our little girl was healthy and well!

After a lot of thought we decided to lay you to rest and not to let you suffer anymore. Luckily we
managed to spend some very special moments with you before we had to say goodbye. Katie was born
alive and continued to breathe for 1 hour 40 mins and then fell asleep in Mummy's arms.

Katie was laid to rest on Wednesday 30th May, the funeral was beautiful for our precious angel, we
had a very personal service around the graveside with family and very special close friends. Who
have all been there for us during this difficult time and who we would like to say a great big thank
you too. When I've needed a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to they've all been there. Daddy
finds it hard to talk at the moment he misses you dearly you are his little princess and always be.
He'll talk when he feels his ready.

You touched the hearts of so many people and are missed by all.

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you, we miss you so much. Life without you is so hard.

Your greatly missed and loved and will remain in our hearts and minds forever. Love Mummy, Daddy
and Brother Kieran xxx Sleep tight darling xxx

thinkin of you gawjus!!! xxxxxxx

Pain and suffering is to its end in this child's life
We shall not weep for this child, for she is now in a place of beauty
Where there is no war, no hate, and no death
Eternal life is to be brought forth through God by a soft glowing flame:
Strong enough to hold all his children
Containing a prayer that which all prayers are made,
A life, that which all lives are created.
You can't see this flame, yet you always know it is there.
You can't touch this flame, yet you can always feel its presence
This child has now seen God, and God has a need for her.
So, you see, this child did not die, she is reborn

A Birthday In Heaven - Author Unknown

I heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.

You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here).
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.

God planned a special day for me,
He told me with a wink.
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think).

Balloons will fill the streets for me,
They float up through the clouds.
And we have lots of friends up here
That make us laugh out loud.

There is a birthday carousel,
Jewelled horses ride the wind,
With music playing, oh so sweet…
The magic never ends.

I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing.
We ride our bikes and play the fool
And sleep in Angel’s wings.

But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.

Special Angel Day - by Sam & Gordon Winson

Katie

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

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

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

♥ღ♥ Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".♥ღ♥

There Is A Rocking Chair In Heaven
And Jesus Is Singing A Lullaby Today
For this Precious baby
That The Angels Took Away
A Baby Is A Special Gift
That Our Arms Long To Hold
We Don't Know God's Purpose
As Our Tears Softly Flow
Yet, We Know We Must Trust Him
When The Doubts Cross Our Mind
That There Is A Reason
Although Our Hearts Are Blind.
