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".

To Lizzie
Lizzie, I know you are around us all, and all I wanted to say is you were very talented and so beautiful, and you are missed.
I know for sure you are happy where you are, and you carried your talent and beauty with you. so God bless you, and you are remembered with love
Our Lizzie
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord, please pick a bunch for us,
place them in Lizzie's arms,
and tell her there from us.
Tell her we love and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek,
and hug her for a while.
Remembering Lizzie is easy,
we do it everyday,
but there's an ache within our heart's,
that wont ever go away.
We will always love and remember you Lizzie xoxoxoxoxo
Our Ray Of Sunshine & Beautiful Cousin Lizzie xoxo
We talked about your hopes & dreams,
you're future and your fears,
we shared so much along life's way,
just talking over the years.
We laughted together in good times,
we cried together in bad,
what a good friendship,
and trust that we had.
I admired you greatly,
your singing talent was dear,
your golden voice,
your beautiful smile,
your eyes so bright & clear.
I know you would have made it,
that much to me is clear,
your courage & determination,
would have made sure of that.
Sadly it was not to be,
but you will always be a shining star to me,
I'll always love you and forever be close to my heart.
Well Lizzie you sure was right when you sang,
Everynight in my dreams,
I see you, I feel you,
That is how i know you go on.
Sweet Dreams Lizzie xoxo God Bless xoxo
To My Special Auntie Lizzie
We were only very small, The years will come and we will grow, We'll always remember Auntie Lizzie, cos we love you so x x x x x x
Our Lizzie
We did not know that morning, What sorrow the day would bring,
A heart stopped beating, We could not do a thing,
God took you so suddenly, He didn't let us know
He knew we thought the world of you, and we wouldn't have let you go.
We will keep searching and one day we will find the answers to our questions!
