Laura has just gone to university. I wonder what you would have thought of it. I can just hear you now asking if you can go and stay with her at the weekend and me saying you are too young.
I bet you would have been really proud of her though she has done really well. I think Grandma and Grandad would have been proud of her too.
As always Rachel dad and I love you and will always miss you.
Yet another year has passed without you - where does all this time go. I can't believe how we are still here carrying on as best we can.
We think about you every day Rachel - and even more at this time of year -so much about those last few days at the Hospice comes flooding back again. Dad and I are going back again to the hospice tomorrow to put a posy of flowers in the Chapel, and to have a look at the new water fountain with the children's names carved in the stones. Your name is there too.
Dad, Laura and I love and miss you loads Rachel - but I am sure you know that. We always will.
Hiyyaahh x Sorry ii avent wrote in ages x I miss youu ! Would of been so good with you by my side in High Skwll but your not TOO MUCH HOMEWORK!!!! Haa x Your birthday soon! Goin to lay a card down! Soo going now or i am introuble Love Youu
Hi Rachel it me mel (jessica cawte's mate) i don't know you properly but i have seen you before. I really hope you are being looked after properly and are being on your best behaviour. if you are being naughty i will be very upset because your not doing what you have been told. I can't wait to come upto heaven to see your smile, i know for a fact you wouldn't be naught. What isit like to be a angel???
Lots of Love Mel i love u xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i am sorry i havent been in touch. i really am missing you. I bet you brighten heaven up, as you are a gaurdian angel. All of us now are nearly in year 8 (it is scary) i wish you were with us, you would of brightened up castlebrook, i went to your grave last week and saw your beautiful smile.
Dad and I went to see your new memorial garden at your old school this week. It's fantastic and vastly improved on the old one that dad and I made shortly after you left us. There's lots of seating areas and your cherry tree seems to have survived. Now the children will be able to make proper use of it - probably even having some lessons outside in the summer - they will enjoy that!
Next week, Dad and I are going to take some plants to put in one of the planters - we will think of you while we are planting them.
I have put a photo of your new garden on your site so everyone can see how special it is, and also just how special you are.
What can I say? Yet another year has passed. I have just read the tribute I wrote to you this time last year - and can honestly say, that the same words still ring true this year.
It is true to say that 4 years ago I never would have believed that I could manage to live my life without you in it, but here I still am ! Life though, still is, and always will be very hard.
I find it very hard to imagine what you would be like now Rachel. You would definetly be growing into a young lady and would no doubt look so different from when i last saw you.
I see Laura growing up so fast and it breaks my heart that you are not with her to share all the things that sisters are supposed to share.
We are going back to Derian House tomorrow to put a posy of flowers in the Chapel for you. It is never an easy journey, but I shall do it just for you.
Remember Rachel, no matter how many years may pass you will remain firmly in our hearts and in our minds.
hi i wish u could of come to high school with us! but the last day was very sad not because we were all spilting up because u werent there to be sad with us . I am having tons of homework! I was in my form room today and i told my friends about u and one of them said i want to come to the grave and wish her a happy b-day!!!
Your class will now have finished at Hollins Grundy and all your friends will be looking forward to moving on to their next 'big' schools.
I remember Laura's last day at primary school, coming home in tears because it was her last day and her red jumper signed by all her friends (your signature is on it as well!) I wonder if you would have come home exactly the same. I bet you would!
I will miss not being able to buy you a new uniform for your next 'big' school Rachel. I would have loved to have seen you look all grown up for your first day, and be able to take your photograph - just like Mum's do.
You should be growing up so fast now sweeheart, but all I know is of you being a little girl. We, and you, have been cheated out of so much.
However, one thing that will never ever change, and that is my love for you. I will love and miss you for the rest of my life.
missing you xxxx / Haylie B. Xx (Best Friend ) Hi Rachel. you know, today at school, i stood in the middle of the hall wondering what you'd look like now; how much would you have changed, and what part you would play in the KS2 production of goldilocks and the 3 bears. this year it is our class' turn to have the lead roles. I'm mother bear, and Abigail is Goldilocks. I remembered also when we were in the infants, and you played santa in the christmas play. Tomorrow (29th June) year 4, 5, and 6 are going to P.G.L, where the kids stay for 3 nights away from home doing lots of different activities; i bet you would have loved it.
We all love and miss you Rachel, don't ever let that relationship split, no matter how far apart we all are now xxx
To Rachel, It's your friend Aimee Wilson! Hiya, sorry i haven't done this before. The class misses you enough some people don't know you! How you doing, hopefully great! Going Castlebrook this year it would of been better if you were here. Most of the people in year 6 have been on your website. Hope you like heaven what is it like? Have you seen any you used to know! If you have who? We have all grown up but the memory of you hasn't disappeared. I will write back soon! Love you Aimee Wilson xxx
hi/ Alisha Murphy (Class friend )
hi Rachel the whole class really misses you we want you to come with us to high school.We all wish you could come with us. we went to a dance festival and it would be more better with you there.Miss you loads bye. Alishaxxxxxxxxxxx Close
Dad is due out of hospital today. I think he is feeling better, but he was very out of sorts yesterday. He told me he had been thinking about you such a lot while he was in there, but I told him that's probably because you were there with him, watching over him and making sure he stayed safe. I will be glad to have him back home though.
Dad and I had a meeting with the new headmaster from your school last week, and the school have big plans to develop your garden. We have seen the plans and it's going to be quite a big project. It should be good because the school plan to make it so that the children can make more use of it - such as for quiet times, or to read a story etc.
Although it will mean changes to your exisiting garden Rachel, it will be a positive move - it will mean you will remain an important part of the school for a long time to come.
I am sure you are feeling very important right now.
I met two of your friends from school also last week. They told me a few tales about you at school that I didn't know. I t was lovely to talk to them, and hear them talking about you and remembering you.
Always remember Rachel, you are always loved and always missed.

Thinking of your precious Angel Rachel / Marguerite Ward Mom To Angel Brandi (Angel Mom )
My beloved Brandi also passed away from brain cancer. It is a wicked disease but the poem below tells the true story of our Angels.
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love It cannot shatter hope It cannot corrode faith It cannot destroy peace It cannot kill friendship It cannot suppress memories It cannot silence courage It cannot invade the soul It cannot steal eternal life It cannot conquer the spirit.
Cancer will NEVER define who our Angels were. Their spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved them.
Angel Days are tough. Praying for God's love to surround you and bring your comfort.

With Loving Thoughts and Prayers Thinking of your family and Rachel on this sad day. The website is beautiful, but sad. Rachel is proud, I'm sure. Brings back alot of memories and heartache for myself. Cancer is horrible and no one, let alone a child, should have to be faced with this. Please know that you are in my thoughts today and always and pray that little Rachel will sent you a sign. God be with you till you and Rachel are reunited! With loving thoughts and prayers!

This bunny is for you, sweet Rachel. My angel, Brandon shares the same angel year as you, 2004. Your mummy and daddy have made such a beautiful website for you and I know you are so proud of them.
