Lola Helena Catherine Rice
Taken from us so suddenly on 22nd March 2006
Only 2years 8mths old.
Sister to Ava and Reya born 2/05/07
Lola was born 14th July 03. She was always a very happy,healthy and
gentle little girl who loved to sing and dance and loved her dummy. She always went to all the DIY
shops with her daddy on a saturday morning, she loved spending time with her Ganny & Gampa &
friends Harry and Charlie and she adored her big cousin Shaun more than anything!
She was always concerned for others and this made her wise beyond her years, she loved her little
sister Ava and it makes me so sad to think she died 2 weeks before Ava's 1st birthday. Her
favourite song was, "the Sugar Babes - Push the Button" and she loved swimming , painting
and just being with the family.
Lola woke one Saturday Morning 19th March 06 and was sick, she would not hold anything down and just
wanted to sleep. After speaking with the Dr it seemed lighlty that she had a stomach bug that would
pass over the next day or so. By Monday she was no better & the Dr came out to see her, again he
said "Stomach bug" she had no temperature or rash or anyother symptoms! She slept in our
bed that night & was very, very restless on the Tueaday morning her Daddy stayed off work &
we were all sitting in the lounge, Ava was crawling around and I had managed to get Lola to eat a
boiled egg. So we thought she was on the mend & my husband & I sat there as we often did
& looked at are 2 beautiful girls & said how lucky we were to have such a perfect little
family..... Then lola started to tremble & her eyes went glazed, I shouted to John (my husband)
saying this looks like a fit.. he just said we're going to A & E.Lola was a sleep in my
arms the whole way to Worthing A&E where she was seen straight away, they confirmed it was a
seizure but did not understand why.. they kept giving her medication to try & stop the seizures
but she was still fitting very gently but was not responding to any of us. I still thought at this
point its epilepsey or somthing similar. They finally took her to have a brain scan & as they
came out I looked up At the Dr who just said "We'll speak upstairs" I new then it was
somthing major but nothing, Nothing prepared me for the next sentence.... " Lola has a very
large brain tumor covering the right hand side of the brain". We broke down totally but I still
had to stay positive. We were rushed to "Kings College Hospital" in London were that Night
she had a bleed to the brain so it was emergency surgery. That night John & I got down on our
knees in the room we were given by the hospital and prayed to God so hard I can not express to you.
It was John's idea & he was always a total non believer so this must give you some idea of
how desperate we were. The next day was Wednesday and they gave her another brain scan & then we
new.... there was nothing else to do, her brain was gone & it was just the machines that were
keeping our precious girl alive. That evening with all her family around her she was given the last
rites & we turned off the machines. We brought her body home & laid her in her room. We lit
candels & put up pictures of her family & played music, it was comforting to still be near
her after all you don't leave your children with strangers when they are alive so we
didn't when she died.
She was burried on 29th March 2006 and has a beautiful Black Granite head stone with Pink lettering
& a picture of her on Christmas day.
She was my first child, my baby girl, my whole life.... we spent every day togeather and I can not
begin to describe the pain, sadness, anger and utter loss we feel on a day to day basis.
I have to believe she has gone to heaven and is safe with her Nanna and Granda who have also passed
away, but John can now not except that their is a GOD in this world at all. He lost the light of his
life & in his mind if there was a GOd she should have been saved!
Sadly Lola never got to see her new sister "Reya" , but I know she watches over her &
"Ava" too.
We later discovered that lola's tumor was called an "Ependymoblastoma" so rare that
it only effects 1 out of 1 million children.... Why us? We were so perfect our family had everything
, how quick your life can change...
We miss you angel every day, you are forever in our thoughts, and hearts. You keep that broken piece
of Mummy's heart with you untill we see each other again.
Loving you always and forever.
Mummy, Daddy , Ava & Reya xxxx

AND IT'S YOU ARE WHATEVER MOON HAS ALWAYS MEANT AND WHATEVER A SUN WILL ALWAYS SING IS YOU
HERE IS THE DEEPEST SECRET NOBODY KNOWS

AND THIS IS THE WONDER THAT KEEPS THE STARS APART
I CARRY YOUR HEART (I CARRY IT IN MY HEART)

My Darling Girl
Its been so long since I've been on here, I know you know how much I think about you every second of every day. It still feels so un-real to me.... i have no words to describe to you my pain. Ava always sends you kisses, do you get them???? and the balloons she often sends up to you?
Harry is growing into such a lovely boy & I know he misses you soooooo much still, hes really good with Ava & he is very protective of "Reya". He knows, even at 5yrs old that he has to protect your yonger sisters for you.
I love you so much Lola & I know it seems that I get on day by day laughing & getting on with everyone but don't think for a moment that I don't think of you. I have your special blanket & it goes to bed with Mummy every night, I just couldn't put it in you c****, I can't even say the word.but you have my wedding tiarra I know how much you loved it!, I need your blanket I hope you don't mind it keeps me close to you. I feel so alone somtimes , everyones life goes on & people have so much to lookforward to in life even when things get bad... most people know that things will get better & the old saying "Things can't get any worse!", well they have for us & as much as I lookforward to seeing your sisters every day...the thought that I will always be sad, never leaves me ... I, along with other Parents on this site , no that will always be there, no matter how many wonderful things happen in our lifetime I will always be fundementally SAD, because you are not here... with your family ,where you SHOULD BE... I don't know why this happened to us ... SO I tell you this my Beautiful Girl, As long as my heart beats I will miss you...
For all eternity I will love you...
My first child, My Love, MY Life xxxxxxxxxxxx
i know this message will not make your suffering any less worse, but i just want you to know even though i don't no your family or your beautiful daughter that i cried so hard reading this memorial. I have a two year old daughter and cannot imagine the pain which you are going through.
It was not fair for Lola's life to be cut so short, bad things like that should never happen to good people. But i hope you take comfort in the fact that you no you gave her the best 2 years that she could have hoped for.
my thoughts are with you and your family.
