God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you and whispered come live with me.
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away.
We loved you dearly but couldn't make you stay.
A golden heart stops beating, your hands are put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
Anastasia Lily arrived into our world on June 27th 2003. She passed away on January 10th 2006 after
fighting a brave battle against neuroblastoma.
Anastasia was a beautiful, vibrant girl and we are blessed and thankful to have had her in our lives
for the very short time we did. She loved to play dress up and to go swimming. Right up until the
end, even when she was in immense pain, she kept that cheeky smile on her face and always told us
"no mur teeeeers" on our sad days.
Anastasia is survived by her mother Sinead, father Paddy, her older brother Callum and two sisters
Francesca and Romilly.
We all miss our angel very much.
Sleeping In Jesus' Arms
Look, Mummy, I got wings!
These are the most incredible things.
You can’t see me, but I can see you.
It’s kind of like playing peek-a-boo.
I know you are sad and I am, too,
But when I saw the ray of light, I had to go through.
You know me, I love to explore.
And I went through when they opened that door.
It’s really nice, and I don’t have to wear any shoes.
And when we play games nobody will lose.
I’ll always be safe, never come to any harm.
And at bedtime I get rocked to sleep, in Jesus’ arms.
Daddy, I know you are trying to be strong for everyone’s sake,
Please understand this was a chance I had to take.
This place is so beautiful, I had to give it a whirl.
Everywhere I go they call me “Daddy’s Girl.”
For my short time with you, you gave me so much love.
There was nothing more I could have asked for.
My brother and sisters are also in my heart.
I’ll always be with you and them, we will never part.
I’m tired now, so I think I’ll go to sleep.
I’m sorry for you I took that leap.
But I love it here, it’s nice and warm,
Getting rocked to sleep in Jesus’ arms.
Please, please, please - register on the organ donation list, donate blood, register for bone
marrow. Anastasia stayed with us for so long because of the kindness of a total stranger who donated
marrow for her. We cannot emphasize enough how important donation is.

We miss you.
We're heading towards your fifth birthday now Anastasia. We all wonder about the person you would be now if God could have spared you. We wonder if you would have enjoyed your first year at school. If you'd like horse riding as much as your mum and sister. Or if you'd be like Callum and daddy and want to be at the football the time.
We miss you. Your mummy misses you every day. But we know you're never far away.

i wish
If I could have one life time wish
One dream come true
I would pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and you
A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried
You left behind broken hearts
And happy memories too
But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you
To your resting place I go
Flowers are placed with care
But nobody knows the heartache I feel
As I turn and leave you there
Anastasia.
You are in our thoughts as much today as you were when you were first born. Not a day goes by that we don't talk of you and remember you. You earned those angels wings and I am sure you are up there playing happily with all the other angels.
Sleep tight angel girl. We all miss you so very much.
Helen.

love callum
fran wanted to write you a message but i have to help her. we are both sending you a candle we know you are the bright star in the night.
So sorry for the loss of your little girl.Thankyou for expressing how important it is to donate organs I lost my princess 8 months ago she was only 7 months old and was in desperate need of a heart transplant there wasnt one . I am always wondering would she still be her today if there had been one available ,She had the choice of 3 blood types and could have excepted one that was older than hers , due to the size of her own heart. Daisy was on the top of the transplant list in the whole of Europe ,we were told not to get our hopes up. Lots of love to you and your family. Sweet dreams Anastasia xxx
Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Anastasia.
We're thinking of you, just as we do every day. Enjoy your balloons.

Sweet Stasia
You are such an amazing girl, we all miss you very much. We're going to send you soon balloons up to heaven on Wednesday. You'd be four years old. We're all really sad you aren't here to have a party with everyone, but you are never forgotten and never far from all of our thoughts.
Fly high, sweet girl.
Aunty Caoimhe
Fly high Anastasia xXx
On a hill in the distance
A young girl quietly waits
Patiently she watches
For her family at the gates
Her blue eyes shine so brightly
As hope swells within
For soon she'll see her loved ones
And never part again
How joyous will be the meeting
As mother holds her child
And father kisses softly
The angel-his long lost child
Once more they'll hold each other
And tears will be no more
Forever they'll be together
As they pass through heaven's door.
