Daisy Mai Whittall was born 26th March 2006 (Mothers Day). At 5 weeks old she got a chest
infection,within the next few weeks she wasnt feeding properly and couldn't cry very well unless you
were sat in the same room you wouldn't of been able to hear her.
I took her to Blackpool Victoria Hospital where they xrayed her chest, we were told her heart was
very large they were refering her to Alderhey (Liverpool) the next morning, we felt sick with worry.
When we arrived they were all waiting for her with all the big machines to look at her heart, it
wasn't good I was told she had the one heart condition no one wanted as there was no operation to
put it right. Dilated Cardiomyopathy (left heart failier) Daisy Mai would have to be on medication I
was told she would either be able to live life on them but would not be able to do things a healthy
child would as she would become tired easily, or it could become so bad she would need a transplant
which would not be a cure for her and the chance of a child doner was very slim, the other thing
they told us was that it caused sudden death and she could go without any warning.
I couldn't believe it I was on my own been told all of this, it was to much to take in Daisy Mai's
dad was at home sorting our three other children I couldn't tell him over the phone, he came as soon
he could the doctor went through it again he broke down. The doctor arranged for a counciler to come
and see us, all we could think about was loosing our little girl how would we cope without her what
would it do to her brother and sisters. There was no improvement she stopped feeding, I had to learn
to tube feed her, she was in and out hospital with chest infections each one worse than the last.
At 5 months old we went to Great Ormand Street we were told her heart was so large we would be
lucky if she made it to her first birthday, it would be a week till we found out if they would put
her on the transplant list. When were told she was on the list everyone one was pleased I just felt
scared, sick the things that could go wrong, she might not survive it.
Two weeks later she was rushed into hospital she couldn't breath properly and was going blue. Daisy
was ventalated straight away it wasn't straight forward they told us she might not make it, her
viens had collapsed which made things more difficult. When we got to Alder hey she was taken to ICU,
when me and her dad got there it was a shock seeing all the machines.
The next day she had to have an opperation to have a Broviac line fitted into her neck for her
medication they said she arrested but they managed to bring her back the surgen said she was a tough
little cookie. Daisy Mai's left lung had been crushed due to the size of her heart. It is so hard
seeing your baby so helpless not being able to hold her, we got our first cuddle after 2 weeks I let
daddy go first as it was his birthday it was very emotional I had to hold back the tears.
A few days later she was moved to HDU there was still no news of a heart Daisy Mai was on the top
of the list in all of Europe, it was so unfair that for my little girl to have a chance someone else
had to loose there child.
Two weeks later 22nd October at 5am the phone rang in our room the nurse said she wasn't good I ran
over as fast as I could, there were so many people around her they asked me to go to the parents
room they had sent for her dad the other children who had come to stay with us, as soon as the nurse
said that I knew what had happend but they wern't saying anything. When her dad and children came
the doctors came to tell us, it was the the worst thing ever. Daisy Mai was gone this would be the
last time I would ever hold my beautiful angel.
There are so many emotions you go through every day you feel different. Everyone said the funeral
was lovely we played Fly by Celine Dion and You are my sunshine sung by children everyone had a pink
balloon to release once the service was over.
There isn't a minute goes by we don't think of her. Daisy Mai had such a short life she knows how
much we love her, she left a big impact on our lives and everyone that knew her, she has made us so
much stronger .
We miss you so much princess love you always xxx Mummy Daddy Mia Aaron Tilly and your new baby
brother Thomas


FLY (Celine Dion) played at Daisy's funeral


Fly Fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud,the whitest Dove
Upon the wind of heavens love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly Fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forever more
But hold this memory bitter sweet
Until we meet

Fly Fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise' the sun will set
But I wont forget

Fly Fly little wing
Fly where only Angels sing
Fly away the time is right
Go now, find the light.

Thankyou to everyone that lights a candle or leaves a message for our beautiful girl. It means a lot

YOUR SPECIAL ANGEL

.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆

When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day, or the darkness of the night.
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.

When something inside you just makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart.
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your head on your pillow, in the dark.

When you're alone, and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung.
When waking up in the morning, any troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel, before a new day has begun.

Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear;
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near.
I'm no longer able to be here in body, but I'm with you everyday,
As my loving heart, my soul, and my spirit, will never be far away.

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved ones gone
those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
for as long as there is memory
they'll live on in the heart.

.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆

There is a special place in our hearts
for those we have loved
for those who have loved us
without question, without a word or promise
there is a special place
where there is no pain or fear
where love flows freely
there is a special place to rest
in our hearts forever.

I know how much I miss you
I feel an emptiness inside
It shows in everything I do
It's something I can't hide

I simply miss you being there
Life seems dull and flat
Without you nothings quite the same
I can't say more than that

But one day we will meet again
I know that this is true
But everyday until then
I know i'll just be missing you.

There are angels in the heavens
there are angels on the ground
there are angels all around you
just waiting to be found...
So when you're feeling lonely
or just a little blue
open your eyes to see the angels
they are there waiting for you...
Don't forget about these angels
during all of your good times too
for they like to share your happiness
and the joys that come to you...
They will wrap their wings around you
to protect and guide you through
all the sad and tragic moments
that this life can throw at you...
They are sent to you from heaven
from our father up above
so remember to look for the angels
they'll show you all gods love...

~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~

Have you ever truly heard
an angel whisper in your ear?
their voices are soft and comforting
letting you know you have nothing to fear...

If you listen very carefully
you might just hear their sweet voice
whispering to you of gods perfect love
and all things that make you rejoice...

They do their very best
to always watch over you
to keep you safe and happy
in everything you do...

So next time you feel lonely
kind of scared or feeling blue
just whisper to your angel
and listen...for they will whisper back to you...

We never stop to measure
Anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.

A Kiss that's sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss that's very special
From someone that you love.

For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For it's meant for only you.

So when your heart is heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again.

About the one you grieve for
And so sadly miss
That gentle breeze you took for granted
Was your Angel's Kiss.


love as always Alison xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I cannot dial your number
I can't get through to you
I called the operator
She did all that she could do

There is no code to heaven
I cannot place the call
No numbers left to try
I reckon i've tried them all

If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
If heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to say

Tell you that I love you
Miss you since you went away
And how much I prayed to god
That he could have let you stay

Oh darling, if heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to know
Things I want to tell you
How do you feel?
Should I stay or should I go?

Are you looking over me
Do you see me cry a tear
Questions I want to ask
Answers I need to hear

If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
My life has had no meaning
Since the day god took you away
I only know more sadness
More tears again today

Maybe one day i'll smile without you
Until then I will always cry
One day the sun may shine for me
Like it did for you and I

My life was for tomorrow
Now my life is yesterday
I cannot face this world alone
Please show me the way

If heaven had a phone
I'd ring you every day
If heaven had a phone
I'd hear your voice, know that you're okay

I just want to speak to heaven
please do you have a direct line
Operator says no number
But your loved one says they're doing fine

Love always Elaine x♥x♥

WITH LOVE

Don`t think of her as gone away----
her journey`s just begun;
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know, today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of her as living
in the hearts of those
she touched.....
for nothing loved is ever lost -
and she was LOVED so much.
Lots Of Love to you Rose xxxxx Jack Cox’s Nana & Family.xxxxx

Kisses to Heaven~

Today I sent a kiss to Heaven
I'm encouraging all of you to try
For if I have shared this with you
You have had a child die.

This kiss came from deep inside
And I know that it truly was received
Right after I had sent my kiss
A calming breeze surrounded me.

Not only that, a wind chime rang
From where I do not know
But I felt my children smile at me
And say they love me so.

Take a kiss within your hands
And look up to the sky
Release that kiss with loving care
Now please try not to cry.

Once your kiss is off to them
To Heaven's gate above
Just look for any single sign
Of your child's precious love.
