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.
Thank you for the Angel
You lent us for a while.
She brought us love and laughter
And an everlasting smile.
She loved us, inspired us,
Our own guiding light.
Now she shines in heaven
With wings of pure white.
She will forever walk softly
In our hearts and in our dreams.
When our feelings run rampant
And our tears begin to fall,
Her Spirit will surround us
Lending comfort to us all.
We will always miss her.
Time can not erase the pain.
Yet, we will always be grateful
That into our lives....
.... Our precious Daughter came.

FOR MONDAY
Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.
FOR TUESDAY
I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.
FOR THURSDAY
Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.

SWEET DREAMS
Sweet dreams are all I have of you, they're all you left behind.
Those cherished lovely memories, never again to find.
On earth you were so wonderful, no child could I compare
To all the love you gave to me, you were so meek, so rare.
Sweet dreams they keep me going through the long and lonely night,
How I wish that I could hug you here and squeeze you oh so tight.
If I could walk to Heaven dear, to see you every day,
Just know I'd never want to leave, I know I'd long to stay.
We parted here on earth my child, but God's will shall be done,
Then dreams will be reality for once more we'll be one.
I love you for eternity, forever and some more,
Because you were the sweetest child, the kindest and most pure.
If Heaven's full of Angels, like you were here on earth,
I thank the Lord for lending you, for giving me your birth,
One day my child I'll see you there, so please look out for me,
You'll see my smile so wide before you see my spirit free.
God takes the sweetest Angels first, this we know is true,
For He came here and looked around, my darling, He chose you!

Tributes For This Weekend
FOR FRIDAY 7th August
~Pennies Come From Heaven~
Found a penny today
Laying on the ground
But its not just a penny
This little coin I found
Pennies come from heaven
That's what my Mum told me
She said angels toss them down
Oh, how I loved this story
She said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your loved ones have tossed to you

FOR SATURDAY
~God's Garden~
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~
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,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for;
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realised
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.

Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
far as long as there is memory,
they'll live on in the heart.
_________________
FOR KAYLEIGH
Gone but not forgotten.
Although we are apart
your spirit lives within us,
forever in my hearts.
Goodnight sweet Angel and God Bless.
May memories of you be spoken every day.

Tributes For This Weekend
My Friend
I'm sending you this little note
It comes with love to say
I've asked your guardian angel
To watch over you each day
For whenever your feeling down
Your angels sure to know
And you'll soon receive guidance
And will know which way to go
Don't let your troubles worry you
Dear friend you will be fine
For your loved and protected
By a presence that's divine.

FOR FRIDAY
We'll Never Say Goodbye
I cannot see you with my eyes
Or hear you with my ears.
But thoughts of you are with me still
And often dry my tears.
You whisper in the rustling leaves
That linger in the fall;
And in the gentle evening breeze,
I’m sure I hear you call.
A part of you remains with me
That none can take away.
It gives me strength to carry on
At dawning of new day.
I think of happy times we shared
And then I softly sigh.
But this I know -- we’ll meet again
And never say goodbye
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SATURDAY
Angel Mum’s
We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
We have given encouragement to each other,
Given hope for a brighter tomorrow,
We share the title of grieving Mother.
Some of us lost older Daughters or Sons,
Who we watched grow over the years,
Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
But no matter the age we cry the same tears.
We understand each other’s pain,
The bond we share is very strong,
With each other there is no need to explain,
The path we walk is hard and long.
Our children brought us together,
They didn't want us on this journey alone,
They knew we needed each other,
To survive the pain of them being gone.
So take my hand my friend,
We may stumble and fall along the way,
But we'll get up and try again,
Because together we can make it day by day.
We can give each other hope,
We'll create a place where we belong,
Together we will find ways to cope,
Because we are Angel Mums and together we are strong!

FOR SUNDAY
So Little Time
We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.
I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.
I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.
I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.
I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.
So smile when you think of me
and wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.
I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home to him.
