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

We go through life so often,
not stopping to enjoy the day.
And we take each one for granted,
As we travel on our way.

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

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

A kiss that is sent from heaven,
A kiss from up above.
A kiss that is very special,
From someone that you love.

So when, your hearts are heavy,
And filled with tears and pain,
And no one can console you,
Remember once again...

About the ones you grieve for,
Because you sadly miss.
And the gentle breeze you took for granted,
Was just an Angel's Kiss.

Dear God,
Please love my Angels that dwell with you above,
Please hug them for me tightly with your precious, tender love,
Dear God,
Please sing them lullabys as they lay down to sleep,
Please comfort them and just be there if they should ever weep.
Please let them know I love them all and wish I understood
The reason they're in Heaven, please tell them to be good.
Are fluffy clouds their pillows, to lay their heads at night?
And do the stars just twinkle to give them little light?
Will you watch them all so carefully and always hold their hand?
And answer all the questions that a child can't understand?
Do you tell them all about me, do they know just who I am?
Are they with my caring family, my grandpa and grandmam?
God,
do you ever pick them up and sit them on your knee?
And rock them oh so gently if they ever cry for me?
God,
do they play with children's toys in Heaven up above?
And have they met your precious son that died for us in love?
I have so many questions Lord, I want to understand
Just why my little Angels are up there, was their life planned?
I dwell down here and feel like we're a thousand miles apart,
Please help me God, please hear my plea,
Just mend this broken heart!

A heart of gold stopped beating two shining eyes at rest, god broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best, god knows you had to leave us, but you did not go a lone for part of us went with you the day he took you home to some you are forgotten to others just a part of the past but to us who have loved and lost you the memory will always last.
