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.

Our little girl has left us
And now her spirit's free
Just like a little butterfly
She's flown away from me
Just where she's gone I do not know
But what she's left behind
I'll treasure 'til my final days
In archives in my mind
Her contribution touched the hearts
Of many whom she met
In a special unique way
A way they can't forget
Our dear Kayleigh, who came to us
To teach us how to love
Has done her task so off she's gone
Back to her place above
I give my thanks for what she brought
I've grown a lot since then
And may this heartache slowly die
And let me live again.

LOTS OF LOVE AND HUGS TO A VERY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.

SKY BUNNIES

() ()
('.')
(')_(')
The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For angels to find with delight.

Because angels like Easter as well, you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In meadows in the sky.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ A SPECIAL ANGEL Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.

It doesnt take a special day
To bring you to my mind
Every day is special to me
You were one of a kind.

I think of you often
Mostly at the night
Where dreams help to soften
A love that felt so right.

I know you'l always be with me
Right till the very end
Until the day we meet again
My heart will never mend.
love julie xxx

~~ ♥ ~~ WHATS IT LIKE THIS PAIN ~~ ♥ ~~

IT'S LIKE:
A hole with no bottom
A hill with no top
A road with no bend
A night with no end.

It's as if its not happened
It's as if its not true
Its' as if its a dream
Yet a numbness seeps through.

There's a feeling of emptiness
A gap to be filled
There's a feeling of loneliness
That cannot be filled.

They say time"s a healer
How long will it take?
I cant see it ending
It's a permanent ache.

Life as no meaning
Yet it as to go on
I find it so hard
I feel so alone.

No one will ever know
The depth of my sorrow
I just have to trust
There'll be a better tomorrow.

May god give me strength
To keep on going
To get through this pain
To feel real again.

I'll never get over it
Of that I am sure
But I'll give time a chance
And hope for a cure.

Time's without end
Love is too
I'll never forget you
I'll always miss you...

My Mom doesn't know I'm watching her
but I'm watching her just the same.
And I hear each tear fall on her face
at the mention of my name.

She says it sounds like music to her ears
and be heard over a crowd.
Oh, I hear each tear fall on her face,
when my name is said aloud.

I watch her stumble through each day
as she wishes the day would end.
And I hear each tear fall on her face
as she talks of me with her friends.

But there are few who truly understand.
Oh this I've heard her proclaim.
And I hear each tear fall on her face.
Will my Mom ever be the same?

I know that her smile can light up a sky,
But I don't see that smile today.
Oh, but I hear each tear fall on her face,
her blus skies have turned to grey.

Oh I send to her my warmest hug
with the rays of the morning sun.
Then I won't hear a tear fall on her face,
for I shall erase them one by one.

Yes, my Mom doesn't know I'm watching her,
but I'm watching her just the same.
And if I hear a tear fall on her face
I'll just softly whisper her name.
