This is the memorial page of our daughter Shelby-Rose Haywood-Lowe. She was due 18th November 2008
but was sadly stillborn on the 18th July 2008 and on that day our world was crushed forever. She was
a much wanted daughter to us,granddaughter to John and Jay,Great granddaughter to Angie and Great
great granddaughter to Doreen. And an also much wanted neice and cousin.
The day Shelby-Rose grew her wings,we can remember it clearly. We had only just found out she was a
girl on the 14th July so you can imagine just how unfair we found the whole thing,especially as she
would be the first girl to be born into the family for 17 years! We pictured christmas with Kayleigh
Shelby's mummy bouncing her on her knee and smiling like she could smile no more. We imagined her
first words and her whole life,yes we were all very excited. But 18th July changed that for us
forever. When she was born,she made no noise but she was the perfect little girl with her mummys
nose and possibly eyes and her daddy Adams feet and smile,even when she was born,she looked peaceful
and as though she was smiling. She even had tiny, tiny fingernails. She was surrounded with so much
love on that day and still is to this day,nearly 4 months on. Her funeral was lovely,the weather
held out nice and she even had a limo to take her to the cemetary.
Shelby Rose will always be our special little girl,our first born and she will always be held in our
hearts until the day we are all re-united as one big happy family. She bought so much love and unity
in her very short time on the earth and for that we are forever grateful to her. We just have her
due date and christmas to get through now but we know we will as Shelby will always be around us,to
help us through our lowest days. We guess all we can say now is to Shelby Rose,we love you so
much,never forget that. Lots of love mumm,daddy and the rest of the family xxxxx
A song called Precious Child by Karen Taylor Good.
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
"She who will not feel the warmth of the sun on her back,
Nor the rustle of the trees in the wind,
Will never know the beauty of the earth,
Now rests eternally with the angels,
Until we meet again"
Love you princess from daddy xxxx
When I thought of you today
I did not need to cry
Because I know up there you play
And on Angel wings you fly.
When I saw "the" dress today,
I did not shed a tear,
Because you wear a much prettier one,
One thats more golden each year
When I sang a lullaby,
To your brother Brody
I know you was there listening
I could feel you smiling down on me
When Im reaching my lowest point,
I know I will be caught
You will raise me up again
Teach me that life is too short.
Yes you may not be here in body,
But you are always here in soul,
And on my wedding day you will be there,
Making our family whole.
Shelby Rose I'll always love you
In my dreams I can mother you
Hold,kiss and comfort you,
In everything you do.
I love you baby girl-hope you are having fun with you Angel friends. Love you loads mummy xxx
Twinkle twinkle
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
lots of love mummy xxxx
A Birthday In Heaven - Author Unknown
I heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here).
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me,
He told me with a wink.
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think).
Balloons will fill the streets for me,
They float up through the clouds.
And we have lots of friends up here
That make us laugh out loud.
There is a birthday carousel,
Jewelled horses ride the wind,
With music playing, oh so sweet…
The magic never ends.
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing.
We ride our bikes and play the fool
And sleep in Angel’s wings.
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.
With love from your little Angel xxx
Special Angel Day - by Carmelle Gross
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
●♥● GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS. ●♥●
Sometimes when I'm very quiet
I can hear "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
The sound is like music to my ears
and it makes my heart sing.
●♥●
When loneliness and emptiness
bring not a sound to hear
You know exactly what I need
as you flutter past my ear.
●♥●
Sometimes when I'm very still
I can almost feel "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
Their feathery touch is like magic
and much peace and comfort it brings.
●♥●
When I am left with no one
to hug or hold on to
You gently wrap me in your wings
and your love I feel is true.
●♥●
Sometimes when I am all alone
and against the distant sky
I can almost see "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
It brings a tear of happiness to my eye.
●♥●
When I look around and find not a soul
who cares if I live or die
You flutter your wings up in the clouds
and I find comfort in the sky.
●♥●
You are my Guardian Angel
and when I hear, feel and see
This means you are close by my side
and are watching over me.
●♥●
Sometimes when I feel so alone
you remind me that I'm loved
My angel sent down from heaven
with much love from up above.
●♥●
The love and closeness I sense from you
is all the reassurance I need
That I am someone very special
and I will follow where you lead.
(\ ●♥● /)

A year today
Hello my sweet little princess its nanny Jay. Its a year today since you was born with your wings. I cant believe how time has flown!. I cant believe you would have been 1 years old today. I miss you so much and it still hurts so much not to be able to to have seen you grow up. I think about you every day and tell everyone about you still. You sent us a very special present Shelby, your little brother Brody was born on the 8th July. I look at him and can see you shining in his eyes. You looked after your Mummy and Daddy when he was born I knew you was there I could sense you. Thank you sweet angel for sending him to us safe and sound. I hope Nana Di and Grandad Tom and Great Great Grandad Ron are taking good care of you. I still havent gotten over losing you and its been very hard for us all. My heart is still broken, when you grew your wings and flew to God you took a piece of my heart with you so look after it darling. I hope you are being a good girl, I bet you can walk now! I'd have loved to have been able to chase you around the garden listening to you giggle. I do in my dreams, I hold you so close never wanting to let you go but when i wake you arent there. One day I'll be able to give you all the cuddles I have missed out on. Until then be a good girl and we are always thinking of you and loving you with all our hearts
your broken hearted Nanny Jay and Grandad John xxx

I hope you like the cake and stuff we have planned for later. Love you loads and loads sweetheart mummy xxxxxxx

Recipe for Christmas All Year Long
♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫
Take a heap of child-like wonder
That opens up our eyes
To the unexpected gifts in life—
Each day a sweet surprise.
Mix in fond appreciation
For the people whom we know;
Like festive Christmas candles,
Each one has a special glow.
Add some giggles and some laughter,
A dash of Christmas food,
(Amazing how a piece of pie
Improves our attitude!)
Stir it all with human kindness;
Wrap it up in love and peace,
Decorate with optimism, and
Our joy will never cease.
If we use this healthy recipe,
We know we will remember
To be in the Christmas spirit,
Even when it's not December.
♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫
As Christmas time approaches
We miss you more and more
Memories of past Yule times
We always will adore
We still hang the decorations
Put the lights upon the tree
We hang the cards upon the wall
This one's for you, you see
Even though you are not here
You're always in our hearts
So we remember you this Christmas
While we're temporarily apart.
♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫
I've set your place at the table
Your presents wrapped under the tree
Christmas carols playing
But you're not here with me
It seems harder this time of year
I miss you so much more
The only thing that gets me through
Are the memories of before
So here's a card just for you
To show how much I care
I know your waiting with the angels
One day I'll see you there.
♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥♫
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
Angela(Christopher-John Rowe)Mum
This Tribute Is For This Weekend A Little Longer Than Usual. Sorry It's So Early I've Got A Busy Weekend Ahead
________________________________________________
I will light my candles as usual on Sunday
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
Thoughts Today, Memories Forever
