Lizzie was my beautiful niece. She was killed suddenly on 15th Jan 2000 at 8:20pm. She was 15 years old. Lizzie was hoping to be a singer. She lived in york with her mam Rosie, dad Dave and brothers Peter, Carl and Paul and sister Vikky (Plum). Our Lizzie was killed on the York outer ring road.
Lizzie was extremely beautiful and full of life. She had the most bubbly personality. She was loud, extrovert, cheeky and laughed a lot. So full of life and enthusiasm. That's what everyone loved about her. You could not be sad if Lizzie was near you cause she would come out with something funny or do something funny and you forgot your troubles. This recording was Lizzie's first attempt into the land of stardom, that has tragically been taken from us all (The original was sang by Celine Dion, My Heart Will Go On).
A lady who had lost her son sent our Rosie and Dave a poem in the hope of helping with their grief. I think it is really touching and if there has to be a reason for losing children early, this tries to explain why. I hope others reading it will get comfort from it the way we have.

GOD’S LENT CHILD

"I’LL LEND YOU FOR A LITTLE WHILE,
A CHILD OF MINE", GOD SAID.
"FOR YOU TO LOVE THE WHILE SHE LIVES
AND MOURN FOR WHEN SHE’S DEAD.
IT MAY BE SIX OR SEVEN YEARS,
OR FORTY TWO OR THREE,
BUT WILL YOU ‘TIL I CALL HER BACK
TAKE CARE OF HER FOR ME?
SHE’LL BRING HER CHARMS TO GLADDEN YOU
AND A SMILE FOR EVERYONE
SHE'LL BE WITH YOU FOR A PURPOSE
FOR THIS JOURNEY MUST CARRY ON.

BUT SHOULD HER STAY WITH YOU BE BRIEF,
YOU’LL HAVE HER MEMORIES TO HELP YOUR GRIEF.
I CANNOT PROMISE HOW LONG SHE’LL STAY
SINCE ALL FROM EARTH RETURN,
BUT THERE ARE LESSONS TAUGHT BELOW
I WANT THIS CHILD TO LEARN.
I’VE LOOKED THIS WHOLE WORLD OVER
IN MY SEARCH FOR TEACHERS TRUE,
AND FROM THE THINGS THAT CROWD LIFES LANE
I HAVE CHOSEN YOU.

NOW WILL YOU GIVE HER ALL YOUR LOVE
AND NOT THINK YOUR LABOUR VAIN,
NOR HATE ME WHEN I COME TO TAKE
THIS LENT CHILD BACK AGAIN.
I FANCIED THAT I HEARD THEM SAY,
DEAR LORD-THY WILL BE DONE
FOR ALL THE JOYS THIS CHILD WILL BRING
THE RISK OF GRIEF WILL RUN
WILL YOU SHELTER HER WITH TENDERNESS
AND LOVE HER WHILE YOU MAY
AND FOR ALL THE HAPPINESS SHE'LL BRING TO YOU
FOREVER GRATEFUL STAY
BUT SHOULD MY ANGELS CALL FOR HER
MUCH SOONER THAN WAS PLANNED
PLEASE BRAVE THE BITTER GRIEF THAT COMES
AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND".

my beautiful lizzie

Hi Lizzie, just wanted to talk to you,i wish i could give you a cuddle,Lizzie i wish my family would just listen to me,i cannot be the same old Rosie like before,i wish they would just take me as iam now,i live in my grief how my mind and body allows it to,this is my makeup.Iam happy with myself,i know they mean well by me,but this is how i know i will be until the day i die.My heart is broken into so many pieces it is beyond repair.I hate my life,i live for my children,Peter,Paul,Carl,and Vicky,and all my grandchildren,

my beautiful lizzie

hello lizzie, just want to say how much we as a family miss you so much,let it be christmas,easter,summer hols,and birthdays,it all means nothing to me.As each day passes my heartbreak gets stronger,nobody really understands me Lizzie.I will never ever be the same person,not without you.I feel lost.I sometimes feel so sad i can hardly lift my head up.Iwant justice so bad,i will never rest until we as a family get it.We know who was with you that night you was killed,we will get them Lizzie.They can run,but not hide.
