Josie Madeline Grove passed away peacefully with grace and dignity at home in the arms of her family
after a two-and-a-half-year battle with leukaemia. As she had wished, she died at home with her
family.
From the moment she discovered that her treatment had failed she wanted to help other children with
cancer. Through the Strength, Courage and the happiness that shone from within her she became an
inspiration to thousands of people.
She created Josie's dragonfly (a silver pendant )as a lasting legacy so that her fundraising could
continue and grow after she had gone.
Josie's Dragonfly Trust now makes a huge difference to other Children & teenagers with Cancer
www.josiesdragonfly.org
Her family would like to thank all of those who gave what can only be described as overwhelming
support during her final months and which helped her to carry on during the difficult times.
It was Josie's wish that she be remembered as the girl who was always smiling.
She will be dearly missed.
My Darling Josie,
We have said goodbye to your earthly body,
But we know that your spirit still walks beside us,
Holding our hands, laughing and loving us the way you always did.
From the day you were born you lit up our lives
And you shone so brightly that you touched a thousand hearts.
You gave us so much more than we could ever have given you.
June says that you chose us for your family,
You must have known that no-one could love you more.
So Thank you Josie, you made us so very proud.
Now your work here is done. You are safe in Gods arms,
Free to run barefoot in the grass,
To swim in the sea and to float on the breeze.
So have fun sweetheart
You’re going to be a real cool Angel!
Love you more.
Lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face
Be rest assured you will be safe
In this place
The sweetest gift
God has given me
Graced with the tiniest beauty
These eyes have seen
Soft as the song of a winter wind
Sheltered by love
A love that will never end
Life so often a mystery
And each of us seeking a clue
To an answer I never thought I’d find
When I lost you
But in your time with me
Somehow you taught me to see
Just as in life
Even in death
You always will be here with me
So lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
And on to your maker you will fly
Low as the angels sing you a lullaby
If we could have a life time wish
a dream that would come true
we'd pray to god with all our hearts
for yesterday and you.
A thousand words cant bring you back
we know because we've tried,
neither will a thousand tears
we know because we've cried.
You left behind our broken hearts
and happy memories too...
but we never wanted memories
we only wanted you xxxxxxxx
So Young Josie
"A life so young released to heaven...left behind we wonder "Why?"
But some are sent among us briefly, some have spirits meant to fly"
God bless beautiful Josie and your loving family xxx
♥ 13TH JUNE 2009 ♥
I hold you here in my heart,
And there you will always be,
No-one can ever take your place,
Because you mean the world to me.
How I wish to see you smile,
How I wish to see you again,
Because if you where back here in my life,
I wouldn't feel all this pain.
But nothing now can bring you back,
You have your new home above,
So we will just send plenty of kisses,
Loads of hugs, and lots of love.
Sleep tight Angel.

Precious Child
by Karen Taylor Good
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
Josie you are such a beautiful young lady with amazing courage and spirit, I'm sorry to say I never met you but even so you have a special place in my heart,Your family and friends must miss you terribly,Sending you all my love x

♡ The Hearts Library..... ♡
By Sarah Blackstone.
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
Id put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.
I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.
I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.
If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.
There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.
For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!
I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.
Am building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.
I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you

† NEVER FORGOTTEN.†
† You are the Angel who I cherish,
† So dearly in this heart of mine,
† The one who makes my day brighter,
† By making my whole world shine.
† During all the darkest moments,
† When my skies turn cloudy and grey,
† You're the one who touches my heart,
† And makes everything seem okay.
