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

When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart
Thinking of you much love to you Michelle XXXXXXXXXXXX

A poem for LOLA
memories don't fade they only grow deep
for the angel we loved
and for heaven to keep
we hold back our tears
when we think of your face
because in our world
there's an empty space
the ache in our hearts
often too great to bare
we still try to understand
though it never seem fair
god took you from us
because he needed you there
so missed so loved
many thoughts to hold so dear
an angel to watch over us
you will always be near
R.I.P little angel love kerry chloe's mummy
my love to your mummy daddy and family
A poem for LOLA
the hardest thing in life to bare
is to want your daughter
when she's not there
so forgive us lord if we still weep
for the angel we loved and longed to keep
the sorrow we feel we can't explain
the ache in our hearts will always remain
always in our hearts forever and ever
Apologies
Lola and family, i'm sorry i've not left a tribute or lit any candles lately. I visit your page often and think of you all. I've been feeling Bens absense so much more recently and found myself unable to leave any candles or tributes. I want to thankyou for continuing to visit Bens page though-it brings great comfort to know that he gets candles and thoughts from others.
Love to you all, Kim x
My Darling Lola
I hope your having lots of fun my angel. I asked Daddy to get the 6-12mth baby clothes out of the loft at the weekend for Reya ... I went through them today, ofcourse Daddy got out the wrong bag it said 1yr+ , i noticed the label was from the old house so this bag had not been opend since you wore these clothes. I found your first shoes & wellies & my favourite jeans you use to wear & my favourite summer skirt & top... these clothes were only worn by you my angel and it broke my heart just to hold them & desperatly try to smell your sent which was ofcourse was impossible.
Always remember how much I love you MY Darling , you are in my thoughts all the time i do hope that heaven is amazing & worthy of such a special girl like you. You have my heart Lola........ forever & always , mummy xxxx
A hole with no bottom
A hill with no top
A road with no bend
A night with no end.
It's as if it's not happened
It's as if it's not true
It's as if it's a dream
Yet a numbness seeps through.
There's a feeling of emptiness
A gap to be filled
There's a feeling of loneliness
That cannot be stilled.
They say time's a healer
How long will it take?
I can't see it ending
It's a permanent ache.
Life as no meaning
Yet it as to go on
I find it so hard
I feel so alone.
No one will ever know
The depth of my sorrow
I just have to trust
There'll be a better tomorrow.
May god give me strength
To keep on going
To get through this pain
To feel real again.
I'll never get over it
Of that i am sure
But i'll give time a chance
And hope for a cure.
Time's without end
Love is too
I'll never forget you
I'll always love you
So sorry i wasnt on yesterday just couldnt face it but i was thinking about you my love to you Michelle XXXXXXXXX
Missing you
