Rachel's Last Words As I sit in heaven and watch you everyday, I try to let you know with signs I never went away, I hear you when you're laughing And watch you as you sleep, I even place my arms around you To calm you as you weep, I see you wish the days away Begging to have me home, So I try to send you signs So you know you are not alone, Don't feel guilty that you have Life that was denied to me, Heaven is truly beautiful Just you wait and see, So live your life, laugh again Enjoy yourself, be free Then I know with every breath you take You'll be taking one for me....

Although I never met you Rachel, from what I know about you I think these words are true: You made the broken beautiful and strong look invincible. You walked with the universe on your shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings. Sending love, Sue xx

My first best friend, from the age of 12, we did so much together, I truly wouldn’t be the person I am today if I hadn’t of formed a group with you Kelly & Lisa we were a team, inseparable!!!! you helped me through a difficult stage in my life, helped me to laugh and be happy at school, when my home life was hard. and also helped pass my English GCSE lol We would hang out together at every opportunity and be singing constantly and we might have talked a bit too much in class too…. We spent hours recording mix tapes, and would get so excited for the roller skating at the lazer discos, Saturday stage school, clubbing in cales with my sister Sarah dancing for hours on end … the memories are endless and I will cherish these forever, ❤️ you would spend ages curling my hair, and we would spend so long deciding what to wear, you was the most selfless caring human being I had the pleasure of growing up with, Sadly we lost contact for a while but then we became close again, which I’m truly grateful for, even when you was poorly you still helped me and encouraged me with my father being poorly, always thinking of others. your laughter and smile would light up any-room and you always made everyone around you so happy!! Words cannot express how much I will miss you my darling beautiful Ray. You were loved by so many people and we will never forget you Fly high until we meet again… your friend forever Lucy ❤️🙏❤️
