Kayleigh Christie

KAYLEIGH MACILWRAITH-CHRISTIE sadly passed away on 14.07.06. She was only 15 years of age. Kayleigh had an epileptic fit and sadly the ambulance took too long to come and had no Paramedic on board. To read the full story and see newspaper articles and also pictures of us delivering a 15,850 petition to Downing Street, calling for a Paramedic to be on all ambulances. please go to: www.kayleighmc.co.uk

Kayleigh Macilwraith-Christie known to many as Kayleigh Christie was born on November 24th 1990 at Whittington Hospital. She had two brothers, Steven and Paul from her mum Jean Murphy. She also had a brother Kyle and a sister Tara from her dad.
She was a happy baby and as she grew into a toddler she was always laughing and singing.

She attended Goodinge Nursery and then went to Robert Blair Primary School. She was known by teacher's and helpers as being happy and bubbly.

She started to go to Lumpy Hill Adventure Playground at the age of 5 and loved the freedom of the outdoors.

She also used to go to the Drovers Day Centre where her mum was a volunteer. Kayleigh used to enjoy listening to the old people's stories and watching them line-dancing. The old people used to look forward to her visiting and were always asking Jean to bring her over.

BECOMING AN AUNTIE

Kayleigh first became an auntie in 1999, she was 9 years of age. Her brother Paul and his partner Laura had a baby named Ellie. Kayleigh was over the moon and enjoyed being an auntie.

STORMONT HOUSE SCHOOL.

Kayleigh attended Stormont House at the age of 11. Kayleigh suffered from epilepsy. Her mum decided to send her there because of her illness. Jean felt safer because Kayleigh got picked up and dropped to school and brought back home. There were also qualified first aiders there. Whilst attending school Kayleigh received loads of awards and certificates. In October 2003.
Kayleigh received the Jack Petchey Achievement Award.
She was well liked by both staff and pupils. Kayleigh could not tolerate
bullying and helped to stamp it out at both school and Lumpy Hill Adventure
Playground. She also didn't like to see anyone left out.

LUMPY HILL ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND.

Kayleigh started attending Lumpy at the age of 5 and loved being over there. She loved playing with the other children who lived on the nearby Market Estate. There was always things going on such as making open fires, arts & crafts, pottery and candle-making, baking & cooking and playing on the structures.

As Kayleigh got older, she became a Youth Mentor, which meant that she would work alongside the Playworker's. She set up activities and liked to do arts & crafts with the children and also shadowed the new attenders (5 year old). Kayleigh was also a qualified first aider.

Kayleigh became the Piped Piper of Lumpy Hill, with children following her about and hanging off her. She was an expert at pushing the children on the round the world swing.

Kayleigh wasn't your typical teenager, she wasn't out drinking and smoking and hanging out on the street. She was considerate, caring, helpful, happy-go-lucky.

A example of this was when a new family arrived in the area, a single parent with 8 children. Kayleigh introduced herself and welcomed the family to the area, she invited them over to Lumpy Hill and took them under her wing. Somewhere where the children could go and play safely.

BECOMING AN AUNTIE FOR THE SECOND TIME.

Kayleigh became an auntie for the second time in 2002. She was 12 years of age. Her brother Paul and his partner Laura had another daughter named Amie. Kayleigh was proud of her two nieces.

LUMPY HILL'S TALENT COMPETITION.

Kayleigh was one of many who entered the X Factor Talent Competition at Lumpy. She loved to sing, from a very young age. She loved to sing Celine Dion "My heart will go on" (Love theme from Titanic) and Whitney Houston "I will always love you". Which she sang perfectly.
Kayleigh sang "I will always love you" solo.
Kayleigh won the competition hands down, it was an unanimous decision by all three judges.

Kayleigh had a lot of achievements in the last week of her life.

Have A Good Weekend Everyone

This Tribute Is For Friday Got Busy Day Tomorrow


Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart

I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night

I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever


If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved One’s arms
And tell them they're from me

Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turns to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile

Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...



Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.

Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon

Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this tribute be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,

A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.

Thoughts Today Memories Forever

((((( JEAN )))))

A hug from me, sent just for you,
To make you smile, when you feel blue,
To make you happy, when you’re sad,
To let you know, life’s not so bad.
Now I've given this hug to you,
Somehow I feel much better too
Hugs are better when they are shared
So pass one on to show you care

Sent with all my love and thanks xxx
