There is a bridge of golden memories from here to heaven above,
It keeps you very close to me.......
It's called a bridge of love.......

Kelly
If I could sit and talk to you
For just a little while,
To say the things
I wished I'd said
Like....
How I love your smile,
How much I love the sight of you,
your voice, your eyes, your face,
to watch you playing basketball,
or see you win a race.

I pray that you can hear this
And God will let you see,
The Pride, the joy, the happiness,
That your life had given me.

Kelly at 16 yrs

My beloved Kelly; My precious child; My 1st born; My friend; My confidant. These are just a
few of the words that describe our relationship. How little do others know of how we loved,
laughed and cried; How your skin felt; How your eyes smiled; Your cheeky fun loving ways;
Your gentle caring manner; Your Leo protectiveness when anyone threatened your little sisters;
Your beautiful black hair; Your sparkling green eyes. All of this and so much more all wrapped up
in one small bundle of 48 kilos and for me, 18 wonderful years.

How do we protect our precious sensitive children against todays uncertain world.
I thought I was a loving caring mum, Kelly's unexpected death shattered my very foundations
and brought me to question all that I believed in. It has been a long hard battle to regain my will
to survive, to remember and partly to believe once again in my ability to mother my other two
daughters. Now as I sit back and watch my grand daughters. my interaction with them reminds
me of days gone by to how I interacted with my own children and the games we would play, the
fun we would have and I realise.... hey! maybe I didn’t do such a bad job after all.
I remember how much I loved them then and how that love has only become stronger over the
years. I also remember how much they loved me and depended on me in unconditional return.

But.... to my dear Kelly .... forgive me if I failed you in anyway as your mother,
for I cannot forgive myself,
but please remember my love for you still burns brightly....
and for all eternity my love will never fail you.....Mum xxxooo

Last night while I was sleeping my daughter’s voice I did hear
I opened my eyes to see her but she did not appear.

She said “Mum you’ve got to listen, you’ve got to understand,
God did not take me from you Mum, He only took my hand.

When I called out to Him that night, the moment that I died,
He reached down and took my hand and pulled me to his side.

He pulled me up and saved me from the misery and pain,
My heart so torn and broken, I thought I could never be the same.

My search is really over now, I’ve found happiness within,
The answers to my empty dreams and all the ‘might have beens’

I love you all and miss you so and I’ll always be nearby,
My body’s gone forever but my spirit will never die!
