Tabitha Paige Critchley
Born Monday 27th November 2001
Died Sunday 28th Jan 2007
aged 5years
Lived Worthing, West Sussex
Tabitha has a mummy- Kerry, Daddy- Kevin and a brother Joshua who is 10
Tabitha died suddenly and unexpectedly. She had suffered with a chest infection in the days before she died and had been on a course of antibiotics since the Thurday before she died. Sadly on the sunday despite responding well to the medication she suddenly stopped breathing in her Nana's arms. All efforts by her Nana and the medics failed and she was gone. After a postmortem examination we learnt that her chest infection had developed very quickly into Bronchopneumonia and taken her life. There was nothing anyone could do.
Our little girl was everything to us.She had so many different pet names:
Princess, Pickle and Baby Girl, but to us she was Boo. She was born on Tuesday 27th November 2001 wieghing 5lb 12oz. She was a perfectly healthy baby when she was born, and at the age of 3 months she started to have fits. Then came an endless stream of hospital visits and test. Many visits to hospitals in London, including Great Ormond Street.With no answers. The doctors kept drawing blanks. Then at about six months old we noticed that she was not reaching her milestones like Joshua did.
The doctors then decided to stick our daughter down on record as having an undiagnosed seizure disorder and Global development delay.. a big umbrella doctors use when they can think of anything else to say.
Tabitha didnt mind any of this she was a very brave girl and.. never complaining.
Tabitha decided what she learnt to do and when.. she sometimes kept her achievements secret from people.. she showed some people things that she didnt show others. She would opt out if she didn't feel like physio or the activity on offer, by going to sleep.
Tabitha was a big fan of Grand Prix racing, Football and she loved the tv programme Pimp my ride. It wasn't until she started school that she showed an interest in girlie things, like My Little Pony, Disney Princesses and pretty dresses. At around christmas time we started to plan ahead to the future, something we had never been able to do before. She was progressing so well at school that we envisaged her sitting up, walking and eating food like other children.. Then our dreams were shattered.
She taught us a great deal in her short life about patience love and faith... she couldn't walk but she could wiggle and although she couldnt talk she could communicate with her hands and her eyes.. and she always had a smile for everyone... We were very proud of our little girl... She was very brave.... She touched many peoples lives in her short life and everyone who knew her was truly blessed..
We will love her and miss our little princess forever xxxxx
After our precious angel died we learnt that her condition in life was called Leptomeningial Angodysplasia. In English that is Sturge Weber syndrome, a very rare condition one in 50,000 people with port wine stain birth marks are affected. This condition was actually ruled out when she was a baby because she didn't present all the syptoms. It turned out she had a very rare form of a very rare syndrome.. She certainly was one of a kind. Bless her xXx
Tabitha was laid to rest on Friday 23rd Febuary. She made her final journey in a beautiful white horse and carriage. There were so many flowers we had to have a seperate car for them all. Over 100 people came to help us say Good-bye to our beautiful angel, every seat in the chapel was filled and people were standing in the aisles. We are so proud that our little girl touched so many peoples lives xXx
Tabitha now sleeps in heaven with her big brother Jack, who was born sleeping on 7th August 1997. Her Uncle Paul, who died on 11th August 2004 and her Grandad who died on 13th May 2006. Together forever xxxxx
MISSING YOU
Now that you're not here
To share my life each day
I feel a sadness in my heart
That just wont go away
When the sun goes down
And the evening startsto fall
Is when my arms long for you
And i miss you most of all
For when we were together
We were as close as we could be
And there isn't anyone on earth
That could mean the same to me.
XXXXX I LOVE U BOO XXXXX
We thought of you today
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And will tomorrow too
We think of you in silence
And make no outward show
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know
Remembering is easy
We do it every day
It's the heartache of losing you
That will not go away
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
SIGNS
Every tear you cry mum
I will send you a smile
and memories of sunlit fun
will comfort you a while
*
I need to let you know i'm there
Because you only half believe
But many things with you i share
To prove i'll never leave
*
Rainbows, that after showers shine
white feathers, flutter to the ground
Heed these as my loving signs
Which tell you i'm still around
*
The dancing flight of butterflies
or echos of my voice you hear
Should not disturb you or surprise
They are proof that i am near
*
For every sleepless night you spend
I'll give you dreams to cherish
To show that there is no end
I've moved on, but do not perish
*
And in the quiet of evenings calm
When milling thoughts subside
I'll surround you with my light, like balm
Forever now, i am by your side
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
We would like to thank everybody who has been there for us and supported us since our daughter was born, during her life and since she left us.No words can express how grateful we are and how much Tabitha loved you all. Thank you all so much for loving our little girl xx

~♥ With Love ♥~
Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright
by Ann Marquette
Sending you lots of love angel and a big thank you to your loved ones for all they have done for my little princess demi-leigh and myself in the last year...HAPPY NEW YEAR XXXXX
Love alway elaine xxxxxx

Thinking of you at Christmastime
You're in my thoughts today
You've only gone to Heaven
To watch over us each day.

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
� Pamela Hall
All my love Sylvie

Free the butterflies-
I'll be there
to see them soar
upon the air.
Know my spirit
is on the wing,
feel my laughter-
hear me sing.
Forever in your dreams
always in your heart.

Your new baby brother
Hi Princess,
Mummy is very sorry that she has not been on here and left you a message for a long time. Its not that i have not been thinking of you every single day, because i do and i always will. I have just been very busy with your new baby brother. He's called Wyatt, but i expect that you know that as i believe that you have been watching over him since he was born 6 weeks ago and im sure you will continue to watch over him as he grows and be his guardian angel. We will bring him up to your garden soon. I want him to always know about you and how special you were and still are to us all.
Never a day goes by without a thought of you. You are in my heart always and forever. You will always be my baby girl and I love you more than all the stars in the sky.
Lots of love, hugs and kisses sent to you on butterfly wings from Mummy XXXXX

A little hug from me to you,
To make you smile
when you feel blue,
To make you happy
when your sad,
To let you know
life aint so bad.
Now I've given a hug to you,
Somehow I feel much better too
Hugs are better when they're shared
So pass one on to show you care.
Angel Day Celebration - by Unknown Author
This day will be a celebration
Of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
With great love and many tears.
But to only feel pain and sorrow
Would not be fair to you.
Your life meant so much more to us,
More than words could say.
You were here so briefly,
I wonder if you knew
All the ways you’ve touched
Our world and our hearts
And everyone who knew you
Since the day God called you home.
Now my child, you’re an Angel
With your heavenly Father above,
We see not only what we’ve lost
But our capacity of love.
There will always be a big void
In our life and a hole in our
Hearts that will never heal.
Our souls will grieve forever.
Will we forget or stop loving you?
No! Not now…not ever.
As this day is upon us,
Oh, how our hearts still hurt.
But even as I mourn your death,
We will always celebrate your birth.
It was the happiest day of our lives.
