Stacey died on the 13th September 2007 aged just 16 years old. Also sadly her unborn son Ryan was
taken from us before he had a chance to meet us all. Stacey had only recently come to live in Great
Yarmouth having spent most of her short life in Birmingham.
She was an inspirational daughter to Lisa and Colin, An everloving girlfriend to Michael and a very
special sister to Charisse, Kirsty, Charelle and Colin.
This is a poem (one of many) that Stacey read to a few of us hours before she passed away.
Living a teenage life!
----------------------
Living a teenage life these days,
Can be different in so many ways,
for some there's mess and attitude,
for others there's offence and so much intrude.
But no matter what there all some sort of the same,
for not every teenage life is a game,
for some its a puzzle waiting to get solved,
for some its a secret thats never told,
But for me its a lesson that I have learned,
And alot of respect which I have earned,
So whatever you may think of these teenage days,
they can be so different in so many ways.

To my Beautiful Angels
If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again where you belong the centre of attention where you shine best because it’s a shame that there is such this enormous gap between heaven and earth too me munchkin you will always be the brightest breath taking light that filled anyone’s heart. Shine bright like the star that you are. Love always immensely mom xxxxxxx
To my beautiful angel Stacey
Eventually sweetheart i get the time to write here to you, but that doesn't mean i don't write at home and think of you always because you know i do. I wrote this letter on the morning of the 13th of September sweetheart - if you didn't already know. I just wanted it all to make sense for you. I hope you got our messah=ges on the balloons we did, it's never going to be enough no matter what i do but i know you warmth is in my heart, anyway sweetheart my letter to you goes:
To my beautiful angel Stacey
I miss you more than words can say, time never stops how much i miss you as do we all, Charisse, Kirsty, Charelle and Colin, life will never be the same without you.
My heart bleeds for you so much sweetheart. I love you completely and little Ryan.
I often imagine you both now, growing up with us, i wish more than anything in the whole world that you could.
I hope and pray that you are both o.k, and that you are living peacefully now as truly the hope that you are is all that keeps me going. Praying and hoping that one day you'll be back in my arms again so i can hold you tight and let you know that i'm with you and your not alone and let you know how very much you are so deeply loved, then be able to hold my 1st grandson and give him a big hug and kiss properly, like his nan should.
"I hate this day more than any other but , yet it means so much to me too"
Sweetheart everything about you was and always will be a miracle and a blessing.
I am so proud of you Munchkin, give little Munchkin a big kiss for me.
All my love and thoughts and Kisses

Sleep tight my Angels.

A Child of Mine
I'll lend you for a little while,
A child of mine, " he said,
" For you to love while she lives,
And mourn her when she is dead.
"It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty two or three,
But will you, till i call her back,
Take care of her for me ?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And shall her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories,
As solace for your grief,
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn,
I've looked the wild world over,
In my search for teachers true,
And from the things that crowd lifes lands,
I have selected you,
Now will you give her all your love,
Not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when i call,
To take her back again?
I fancy that i heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run,
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we have known,
We'll ever grateful stay,
But shall the angels call for her,
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try and understand.
'A child of Mine' by Edgar Guest

a poem for you stace
to stacey i must say goodbye
she wouldnt want to hear me cry
a sweeter girl ive ever met
in my heart i will never forget
the angels came
to take her home
now i am left on earth to roam
her time was a while but seemed to short
to memories now i must resort
for every one she had a smile
and she loved to sit and talk awhile
now in my heart stacey still lives on
until my time on earth is gone
then once again i will join my friend
together in time that will never end
