Belle
Our gorgeous sister/daughter, Belle, passed away Thursday morning at home with the District Nurse Michelle, Mum and I at her side.
It was sudden and unexpected as she had only been ill for a few hours.
We are just broken hearted and in shock as she was such a wee darling – Sam and I have never known life without her. Our poor Mum…
Belle’s love for us and Mum was immense as was our love for her – she brought sunshine into our lives everyday.
Belle was non-verbal but this didn’t stop her from communicating or living life to her fullest. She was passionate about artwork, bird watching and identification, lego, animals, and absolutely adored The Wiggles and rides on my Kawasaki mule.
Sadly, a while ago dementia began its dreadful cruel journey so she clung to us even more – we were her security blanket. We just loved her so much.
She communicated by way of ‘facial expressions’ ‘one word phrases’ and ‘sign language’ which Mum taught her just prior to her mastering the art of walking only weeks after her 5th Birthday.
As we are so grief stricken we have decided not to have a Funeral Service but further down the track we will have a get together with friends.
