Our Tribute
Trying to put down in words
what Grace meant to us, and how much we miss her, is an almost impossible
task.
Grace - our beautiful
daughter, big blue eyes, wispy blonde hair and those perfect little teeth.
She had such a beautiful, engaging smile, even at times when you would
think she didn’t feel like smiling at all, there was always one there.
Loved so much by us, her big brother Joshua and all our family, she was an
incredibly special little girl.
There is, and always will be,
an empty space in our lives, that nothing can ever fill, and for that reason
part of us will always be sad. But we hold onto the many happy memories of
the times we shared with Grace, the unconditional love she gave us, and the
immense courage she showed.
We can think of the very many
happy times. The things she did that made us smile and laugh. Grace liked
music and would do her own little dance when she heard a song she liked, and
like all children, every new achievement gave us so much pleasure. The
things that we took for granted, now have a special place in our hearts.
The holidays we shared and the favourite places we visited together, all of
these memories make us smile.
We have set up this tribute
fund in Grace’s name because we know how hard it is for the individuals and
families who experience metabolic diseases. We hope that one day there will
be cures for these terrible diseases, but until that time, that there is
continued support, help and love for the families affected by them.
Thank you to everyone who has
supported us over the last 2 years.
You can shed tears that
Grace is gone, or you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes and
pray she will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she has left.
Your heart can be empty
because you can’t see her, or you can be full of the love you shared
You can turn your back on
tomorrow and live for yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of
yesterday
You can remember Grace and
only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry, close your
mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what Grace
would want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Anon.
Rest in Peace Grace, our
beautiful angel.
