Kayleigh Macilwraith-Christie known to many as Kayleigh Christie was born on November 24th 1990 at
Whittington Hospital. She had two brothers, Steven and Paul from her mum Jean Murphy. She also had a
brother Kyle and a sister Tara from her dad.
She was a happy baby and as she grew into a toddler she was always laughing and singing.
She attended Goodinge Nursery and then went to Robert Blair Primary School. She was known by
teacher's and helpers as being happy and bubbly.
She started to go to Lumpy Hill Adventure Playground at the age of 5 and loved the freedom of the
outdoors.
She also used to go to the Drovers Day Centre where her mum was a volunteer. Kayleigh used to enjoy
listening to the old people's stories and watching them line-dancing. The old people used to
look forward to her visiting and were always asking Jean to bring her over.
BECOMING AN AUNTIE
Kayleigh first became an auntie in 1999, she was 9 years of age. Her brother Paul and his partner
Laura had a baby named Ellie. Kayleigh was over the moon and enjoyed being an auntie.
STORMONT HOUSE SCHOOL.
Kayleigh attended Stormont House at the age of 11. Kayleigh suffered from epilepsy. Her mum decided
to send her there because of her illness. Jean felt safer because Kayleigh got picked up and dropped
to school and brought back home. There were also qualified first aiders there. Whilst attending
school Kayleigh received loads of awards and certificates. In October 2003.
Kayleigh received the Jack Petchey Achievement Award.
She was well liked by both staff and pupils. Kayleigh could not tolerate
bullying and helped to stamp it out at both school and Lumpy Hill Adventure
Playground. She also didn't like to see anyone left out.
LUMPY HILL ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND.
Kayleigh started attending Lumpy at the age of 5 and loved being over there. She loved playing with
the other children who lived on the nearby Market Estate. There was always things going on such as
making open fires, arts & crafts, pottery and candle-making, baking & cooking and playing on
the structures.
As Kayleigh got older, she became a Youth Mentor, which meant that she would work alongside the
Playworker's. She set up activities and liked to do arts & crafts with the children and
also shadowed the new attenders (5 year old). Kayleigh was also a qualified first aider.
Kayleigh became the Piped Piper of Lumpy Hill, with children following her about and hanging off
her. She was an expert at pushing the children on the round the world swing.
Kayleigh wasn't your typical teenager, she wasn't out drinking and smoking and hanging out
on the street. She was considerate, caring, helpful, happy-go-lucky.
A example of this was when a new family arrived in the area, a single parent with 8 children.
Kayleigh introduced herself and welcomed the family to the area, she invited them over to Lumpy Hill
and took them under her wing. Somewhere where the children could go and play safely.
BECOMING AN AUNTIE FOR THE SECOND TIME.
Kayleigh became an auntie for the second time in 2002. She was 12 years of age. Her brother Paul and
his partner Laura had another daughter named Amie. Kayleigh was proud of her two nieces.
LUMPY HILL'S TALENT COMPETITION.
Kayleigh was one of many who entered the X Factor Talent Competition at Lumpy. She loved to sing,
from a very young age. She loved to sing Celine Dion "My heart will go on" (Love theme
from Titanic) and Whitney Houston "I will always love you". Which she sang perfectly.
Kayleigh sang "I will always love you" solo.
Kayleigh won the competition hands down, it was an unanimous decision by all three judges.
ACHIEVEMENTS IN KAYLEIGH'S LAST WEEK.
Kayleigh had a lot of achievements in the last week of her life.
Tue 11th July 06: A launch event on Market Estate, Kayleigh's art work was put up on hoardings
in Market Estate alongside ten other young people.
Wed 12th July 06:Kayleigh was the only one in her school to receive The Award for Outstanding
Achievement in school. She was nominated by her teachers.
Kayleigh attended a consultation with a group of young people to discuss what
they wanted to do in youth club.
Fri 14th July 06: Kayleigh had an excellent report from school. Which she was very proud of.
Sadly Kayleigh passed away at 8.30pm the night of the 14th July 2006.

FOR FRIDAY
COMFORT
Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home
The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain
But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace
Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.

FOR SATURDAY
If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
But know 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

FOR SUNDAY
FAREWELL
The sand of time are running low
And soon my children I must go
My heart with love for you is filled
But soon its beating must be stilled
I leave no treasures of any kind
Only my love I leave behind
Take it and share it between sister and brother
And always be kind to one another
Weep not beside the grave for me
Don't bring me flowers I cannot see
Only ashes lie neath the cold sod
Just pray that my soul has gone with God
Some of you perhaps may weep
When my eyes are closed in eternal sleep
But try to remember it won't be forever
For God can bring our spirits together
I pray that I go to a world far above
To be with the others that I love
And to wait awhile on that Heavenly plain
Until the day we shall meet again.

Thoughts Today, Memories Forever

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
MISSING YOU
They say there's a reason.
They say that time will heal.
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
when we were all together.
The family chain is broken now,
but memories live forever.
GOD BLESS

THINKING OF KAYLEIGH
You’ll cry a thousand teardrops.
You’ll miss her every day.
The Daughter that you’ve loved all your life
Has sadly gone away.
But as your sorrow lessens
And when your tears have dried,
You’ll realise that throughout your life
She’ll always be your Guide.
You’ll think about her every day.
That will never cease.
May her memory warm your heart
And may she rest in peace.
WITH MUCH LOVE

FOR TUES
Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR FRI
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SAT
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
we watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUN
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

FROM KAYLEIGH FOR HER LOVELY MUM
I stood by your bed last night.
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying and you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
“It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here”.
I was close to you at breakfast
as I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached out to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, oh I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you Mum that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, “it's me”.
You looked so very tired as you sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was really there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty “I never went away”.
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say “goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning”.
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll once more stand side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me

A loving Daughter most sincere,
Loved by all she knew,
She loved us all so very dear
And we all loved her too.
But God in his mercy will give us hope,
And help us bear the strain,
Of the one we cherished, loved and lost
To meet in Heaven again.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Angels take this message,
To our dear Kayleigh up above;
Tell her how we miss her
And give her all our love.

As the sun came up this morning,
I watched you there below.
Your heart seemed oh so heavy,
But there’s something you should know.
I’m not gone, don’t worry,
I’m just a step ahead.
And I’m with you every single day
As you rise up from your bed.
I am the sun that warms you,
I am the moon’s soft glow,
I am the stars that twinkle
And lights your path below.
So when at times you miss me,
Just look for me, I’m there.
For you cannot hide my spirit,
It is with you everywhere.

Nothing can be more beautiful
than the memories we have of you.
To us you were someone special,
God must have thought so too!
A loving hello to you sweet Angel and God Bless.
May memories of you be spoken every day.
