*** Lucy became a big sister on 3rd April 09 at 2.55am when her little sister Jade Lucy Dunne made
her entrance into the world. She looks so like her two big sisters Kate and Lucy ... I've added a
photo to Lucys gallery thanks so much to everyone for their support and I will catch up with all
your angels candles soon - love to you all Ali xxx ***
Our precious baby girl Lucy who arrived on earth 18th April 2007 and entered heaven on 30th
September 2007 aged 5.5 months.
Lucy was such a good baby perfect - maybe too perfect from the day she arrived in the early hours of
her due date she lit up our lives. Life was busy busy as her big sis Kate was just gone 18 months
when Lucy was born but we loved every minute of it... Our perfect family just how we had always
imagined and hoped..
I feel ready now to tell the full story of 'that' day - the day Lucy left us :
We put Lucy to bed as normal the night of Sat 29th Sept and coming into the early hours of Sun 30th
Sept Lucy woke up ... I didnt wake with her Daddy took her up and said she settled very quick but he
took her into the bed to give her a little cuddle....
A few hours later I woke up - I will never ever forget the feeling I had that morning when I opened
my eyes it was a cold feeling I instantly looked to Lucys cot and she wasnt there and I start
screaming to Mick 'Where is she - somethings wrong with Lucy !'... He told me to calm down she was
lying beside him and I looked - there she was so pale I said to him - shes not breathing shes dead !
he tried to convince himself that she wasnt but I took her in my arms and why I dont know I put my
fingers in her mouth thinking she might have swallowed her tongue or for some reaction but nothing -
I will never forget the cold of her gums....
At this stage all I can remember is screaming and I could hear myself saying what "what am I going
to do ?? ".... I screamed for my Mam to come down the stairs to my room all I wanted was for her to
say everything will be ok I'll never forget asking her was Lucy dead and she was just hysterical
aswell and said ' I think so '.
Its all a blur then I went downstairs and Mick had her on the table on her changing mat working on
her with the ambulance crew on the phone telling him what to do he gave me the phone at one stage
but I dont even know what I was saying to be honest...
Next of all I remember the fire brigade coming and the ambulance they seemed to be only there for a
minute when a fire officer came out I'll never forget it grabbed his arm and asked was my baby ok
he lifted his head and I could see he was crying and that was it I knew.....
They told us we couldnt travel in the ambulance that the fire brigade would take us to the hospital
but as some stage one of our neighbours came out and drove us to the hospital...
All the way there Mick kept telling me she would be ok but I knew, I think he did aswell but was
just trying to comfort me....
We got to the hospital and after falling up the steps and into the reception (still in pj's and ugg
boots) we were met by the chaplin ... I wouldnt even walk to the room with her because I didn't want
to hear the words.... I dont know how we got to the room but we did we passed the resussitation room
where they were working on our little girl but I didnt even see Mick told me about it after...
Just after we were brought into the room a doctor came in and asked me to sit down I wouldnt I said
to her just tell me I know already... Mick pleaded with me to sit down and listen until they tell me
what they are doing to help her and I just remember saying they are doing nothing - shes gone and
demanded to the doctor to tell me - which she did I felt like stone when she said the words ' I'm
sorry ' and Mick just seemed to fall apart....
Within minutes our family was there and we were brought into a room where they had Lucy she was so
beautiful I just couldnt hold her though it was as if rolls reversed in minutes Mick was amazing he
just held her and sat there with her for hours ... I just fell apart and it seemed like hours before
I could hold my baby girl... I came home and got her blanket - Mick stayed with her and when I went
back we wrapped her in her blanket and put her in the crib they had - I'll never forget walking out
of the hospital that day - what are you supposed to do ?
We were told the next day Mon 1st Oct that the post mortem would take place.... We were able to go
back that evening and take our baby girl home for one last night...
She looked so beautiful in her Christening gown - her godfather and aunt bought a new white moses
basket and we brought her home in that with her pictures and teddies beside her... close family and
friends came to see her that evening ...
The next morning Tues 2nd Oct was the day that our baby girl was laid to rest.... We had most of the
morning at home with her and after some last cuddles with all the family - Daddy & Mammy put her
into her tiny little white coffin .... I dont know how we done it but I promised her Lucy we brought
you into the world we will be the ones to bring you out, your Mammy & Daddy.... So we closed our
little girl's coffin and carried her out to the funeral cars and on our laps to the church....
I'll never forget all the people who turned to to pay respect to Lucy I was amazed at the impact a
5.5 month old girl can have on a community and I am so proud of her for that.... So Daddy & Mammy
carried her into the church for her funeral mass I cant really remember much if it but all the
family took a part....
We then carried her back out of the church and on our laps to the cemetry ... She was then laid to
rest with my Dad / her grandad. We released lots of pretty pink balloons as I didnt want all her
little cousins looking into the ground I'll always remember all the balloons travelling in the one
direction towards where we live.
Its just been a bit of a blur since then.....
Lucy left behind her heartbroken Mammy & Daddy, her big sis Kate and all her family who love and
miss her so so much.. And she has now met her grandad who we are sure has her safe & warm.
** 21/02/2008 - We received post mortem results today. Lucy's cause of death has been confirmed as
Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy - Cot Death **
' All the stars are coming out tonight, their lighting up the sky tonight for you '
Our precious angel, too perfect for this world xx
I have a little daughter, who means the world to me
She's living with the Angels and is as special as can be
And even though she's up there, playing in the clouds
She's still my precious daughter and I am so very proud
Her picture takes pride of place on my living room wall
Ready to be admired by all who come to call
I know I can not hold her, or bounce her on my knee
But I only have to close my eyes, her little face to see
I never will stop missing her and wishing she were here
But sometimes I feel, indeed I know that she is very near
So play happily my little daughter, you will never be forgot
I love you so and always will, though I miss you such a lot.
Sweet dreams baby girl love Mammy & Daddy xxxxxxx
A child who loses its parent is called an orphan
A man who looses his wife is called a widower
A woman who looses her husband is called a widow
However, there is no name for a parent who looses a child
There is no word to describe such pain

God makes little children
He makes them every day
And though He loves them dearly
He gives them all away.
He gives each to an angel
And says take baby down
To such and such a mother
In such and such a town.
Or such and such a cottage
In such and such a place.
He gives the angel with it
A big soul full of grace.
God does so love those children
It's all that He can do
To let the Angel take them
But he loves the mother's too.
And so he says I'll lend you
This little one of mine
The angel folds it's love
About the special gift divine.
The angel watches over
The child both day and night
So glad to see that lovely soul
All shining in God's light
God makes so many children
And every now and then
He seems to want one specially
We don't know why or when
He whispers to its Angel
Bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
That someday we may see
It sees the souls of mothers
And fathers in God's light
Offering him tiny children
Whose souls are shining bright
God does so love those children
Whos souls are never dim
And how he loves those parents
Who give them back to him.

Im a Precious little Angel
I grew my wings 2 soon
To Fly Up To a Magical Garden
Thats up beside the Moon
It has lots of other little Angel's
Some even look like me
They sit upon their bright stars at night
And twinkle for mummy to see
When its time to go to sleep
We snuggle up nice & tight
The bigger Angels, they tuck us all in
Then its time for us to say Goodnight x x x x

There Is A Rocking Chair In Heaven
And Jesus Is Singing A Lullaby Today
For this Precious baby
That The Angels Took Away
A Baby Is A Special Gift
That Our Arms Long To Hold
We Don't Know God's Purpose
As Our Tears Softly Flow
Yet, We Know We Must Trust Him
When The Doubts Cross Our Mind
That There Is A Reason
Although Our Hearts Are Blind.

ღ A Baby Angel`s Birthday in Heaven ♥
ღThe Place Where Little Babies Go ღ
Fluffy clouds of pink and blue
Where fairytales and dreams come true,
Where teddy bears put on a show
In the place where little babies go.
Where a choir of angels sing on high
A peaceful, Soothing lullaby,
And their feathers flutter down like snow
In the place where little babies go.
Where the sun is shining everyday
In a heavenly sky that’s never grey,
Where love will bloom and always grow
In the place where little babies go.
Where bells will ring and hearts they soar
When a mummy and daddy walk through its door,
Then only tears of joy will flow
In the place where little babies go.♥ ღ
