Lexie-eva was our 3rd little girl, some would say Irish twins as there was only 11 and half months
between Olivia-louise and Lexie-eva. They all where perfect and we we know how lucky we are to have
them.
When Lexie-eva was 4 and a half months young, we booked to go away for a couple days in Bristol as
our first break in three years. Casey-marie, lexie oldest sister who was 2 and a half went off to
nusery for the morning. We asked Auntie Sharon to look after Olivia-louise as Lexie-eva was not
herself, dispite her smiling and playing in her bouncer as usal. We said we couldn`t go unless we
knew 100% that she was okay.
We are so glad that we didn`t go as Lexie-eva would not of been given a fighting chance. We went to
A&E as we called the doctors and they said they couldn`t get lexie-eva in till 3pm. I said i am not
waiting that long we`ll take her to A&E. The reseptinist said well if you feel you need to do that
then do.
Although we were very disapointed that they couldn`t get her in we now know that there was a good
reason as she was in the best place, as we had a long wait in Musgrve park hospital by three o`clock
Lexie-eva totaly shut down. They took Lexie-eva on to the opperating table and within seconds she
was surronded. Your eyes would never be able to prepare for the sights we were seeing and about to
see. The nurses asked is we wanted to wait outside, there was no way we would leave her, how ever
hard it was to bare couldn`t leave her to face it alone.
Needles where going in everywhere and we were loosing lexie-eva. They thought meningitisat first,
then they took scans everywhere it was lucky that a Cardioalogist noticed on the x-ray of her lungs
that the heart looked larger then usual so took a closer look at Lexie-eva`s heart and confirmed
that Lexie-eva had dillated cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart).
Lexie-eva was kept stable for hours while waiting for the retreaval team from Bristol Childrens
Hospital to come it felt like days. When they arrived and put Lexie-eva on to there bed and all
their equiptment i saw her whole body stop and broke down. They said it is okay she is all wired up
now. I knew how close to death she was, i guess i kept thinking if she was ment to go she would of
gone in her sleep, or when we were away, or we would of got doc app and just gone but we were in the
right place. But now i know she wanted the angels to wait for a moment.
The angels did for two weeks as she fort hard in ITCU Bristol Childrens Hospital. Nanny Val along
with other members of the family looked after our other two little girls and made sure we seen them
everyday even if it was just for half an hour.I remember our other two girls came up and when we
seen them in the car a new song came on the angels can wait for a moment and it was on ne of
Lexie-eva`s bad day`s there and i broke up as i prayed they would wait a moment. They did...
On the 1st of Aug 2008 they desided to move Lexie-eva from bed 5 to bed 16. And on the 2nd it was a
total nightmare everything went wrong (dont want to go into detail) ill always believe had things
been different then she would still be in our arms. But we know it would of been a long and painful
journy for Lexie-eva and one thing i can be greatful for is that she is untouched she never had to
have all her organs replace while waiting for that slim change of getting a heart transplant.
We never got a chance to cancel our friends Jason and Lynsy who were comin up to see usand get us
out of the hospital for bit. When they turned up we spoke with them about the hell of a day
Lexie-eva had.
To return Lexie-eva`s Daddy and Jason walked over to Lexie-eva as we watched though the window.
Jason started to walk back and i walked in as the angels came to save Lexie-eva from this pain.
Lexie-eva is such a strong angel she didnt want us to be on our own when she flew to the light.
They tryed for an hour to get her heart into a rythem and resusatate 10.15 pm Lexie-eva was
declared dead. i Thought she was still breathing as they walked away and i picked Lexie-eva up they
said it is the addrenalin. We just didn`t want to believe it.
As Lexie-eva was passing fireworks were going off as it was the bristol harbour festival. And
Lexie-eva`s cousin Anne smith was singing to a live preformance, none other then the song she wrote
and sang for Lexie-eva.
So still no air no breath how can this happen it just doesn`t make sence. Bathing and changing
Lexie-eva willing the angels to bring her back. We had Lexie-eva Blessed as we know how blessed we
are to have had her for a short but unforgetable life filled with moments to creasure for ever.
Having to think about where you want to rest your baby to rest just didn`t seem right. Didn`t want
to at first then i realised she will only ever get one resting place and one last day on earch and
we wanted it to be the best we could for her.
Aug last year was the dualest weather recorded with a thunder strom on the 2nd the day lexie-eva
passed (they say electrical) it rained everyday since untill the 14th of aug 2008 the date of
Lexie-eva`s resting day. It was so still and sunny like the earth had stoped breathing. I prayed to
Lexie-eva the night before for her to bring the sun. You could hear the foot steps of the hourses as
they carried Lexie-eva to us. Paul and Becky Fudge looked after Lexie-eva so well in her chaple of
rest and helped us to give her the most beautiful day ever for her.
She is so powerful not only did Lexie-eva bring the sun she brought a rumble of thounder at 12
midday the time of lexie-eva service. Then brought the wind when it was time to relise 300 hot pink
ballons with yellow ribbon and blow it in the dirrection of our house to let us know that she was
carried home.
There is no better gift then the gift of life.
Thank you Lexie-eva for youxr warm embrace, smileing with all your heart and all the love you gave
to us and your sisters as well as so many other lifes.

For Lexie - Eva
God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he wrapped his arms around you,
And whispered 'Come with me'.
With tearful eyes they watched you,
And saw you pass away,
Although they loved you dearly,
They could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working body to rest.
God broke everyones hearts to prove to us ... he only takes the best! x
Letter from heaven xxx
Dear Mummy,
I see how much you miss me and wish I wern't gone.
I took a part of you with me the day god called me home.
Please try to understand, dear mummy that we're not that far apart, for i'll be forever near because i have your heart.
I know there's times you feel there's no reason to go on, you wish that you could be with me, and you have been all along. Just because i went home and im in the masters hand doesnt mean i'm not still with you... beside yous were i stand. please try to understand dear mummy, that i'll always love you so, i can't stand to see you hurting so theres something you should know. Each time you feel the sunshine upon your lovely face, its me smiling down upon you and touching you with god's sweet embrace. Each night your sad and lonely and the tears you cant control, im right there beside you and i will never let go . God told me to tell you that he knows your pain inside, for he lost his son too, upon that cross he died. He wasn't trying to hurt you by calling me home so soon, theres just plans that he had for me, that noone else could do. I want to thank you dearest mummy, for all you gave to me. But most of all, I thank god because ur the best mother one could be. So each time you think of me and tears fill your eyes, when u feel like giving up, just look up to the skys. Life on earth is hard, i know, but you must be so strong. For ill be there forever with you until god calls you home. I loved you from the start and i love you still. please dont give up mummy, for its just not in god's will. I will never forsake you , ill be there everyday. I'll hold you in my angel wings and guide you on your way.
Although i'm gonna go now, remember its not for long. For ill stand beside you through it all and im never really gone. I love you more than words can say and i hate to know you feel so lost. Just remember we will meet again because jesus left that cross. xxx
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers,are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.
