On the morning of Monday 31st March 2008 while getting ready to go to work, Laura Jane Ashworth started having a very bad asthma attack. While her mum Rachel Leake called 999 and tried desperately to revive her, Laura's airways blocked and she stopped breathing. On arrival at Bradford Royal Infirmary ICU, the doctors confirmed Lauras brain had been starved of oxygen for so long that she was completely brain damaged. After 3 days on life support... there was nothing more they could do. You were only allowed 3 people at your bedside at any one time but they couldn't control us... no one dare tell us to go! The most important people in your life were all around your bed in ICU, we held your hand, stroked your face, I so badly wanted to pluck your eyebrows, you would have been gutted knowing everyone saw them like that LOL!!! We laughed until we cried and cried until we laughed! yet we all knew... once we walked out of that door... we would never see you again.
To rub salt in the wound, organ transplant authorities refused to allow Laura's Kidneys and Pancreas go to her sick mother, who has been suffering kidney failure since becoming pregnant with Laura! Rachel attends St Lukes hospital to have dialysis 3 times a week. Laura's dying wish was for her mother to have one of her kidneys... what a beautiful gift this would have been to a mother who has just lost her only child in such tragic circumstances, for Rachel to know that part of Laura was still living on inside her and for Macie to grow up with a healthy Grandma.
Laura was my best friend, she was my soul mate, she would have been my sister-in-law at one point... and she was the loving mother to my Neice Macie Faith Murch. She lived at Brogden Hall Farm, Bradford, with her beautiful mum Rachel, Grandfather Jack and 2year old daughter Macie. She was a beautiful person, full of happiness and laughter, she didn't hate anyone, never had a bad word to say about anyone, she loved her friends and would do anything for anyone but more so, she loved her mother and daughter so very much.
Laura had only just turned 21 just 3 weeks prior to her death. She loved life and lived it to the full. Her words of wisdom to everyone she met were "Live life to the full, you don't get a second chance" how right was she!!! and she sure lived her life to the absolute fullest!!! I just hope your looking down with no regrets girl!!! Macie loves you unconditionally, she will never forget you, ever. Each night she stays with us we say goodnight and blow kisses to the stars. She says Bob Marley is looking after you.
R.I.P gorgeous. I love you my princess xxx

FOR MONDAY
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
FOR TUESDAY
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day,
That we do not think of you.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure...
FOR THURSDAY
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
FOR FRIDAY
After Glow
I'd like the memory of me
To be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days
I'd like the tears
Of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.
FOR SATURDAY
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship started, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine to tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now; He set me free.
FOR SUNDAY
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your
Eyes filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today...
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you...
And each time you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand...
That Jesus came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.
He said my place was ready
In Heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.

CHRISTMAS EVE
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.

Memories
Memories are a special house
We build inside ourselves
Where love and laughter linger,
Where all our past life dwells.
On holidays like Boxing Day
We can draw upon the store,
Reliving happy times
And feeling all that warmth once more.
Wherever we may travel,
This house is always there
To help to blend the old and new,
To build on...grow...and share.
This house can never get too full,
Just grow from floor to floor,
Because the joy of memories
Is always making more.
