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
Youβre going to be a real cool Angel!
Love you more.
It's incredible the difference 1 short life can make! The way Josie has touched the world continues to amaze & inspire me so that I can carry on.
Josie's Dragonfly Trust has just reached a milestone, having given 300 Cash Gifts of £500 to children & young people where cancer treatment is no longer curative, It makes a huge difference to them & their families in their last days - to find out more please visit us at josiesdragonfly.org

Birthday Remembrance
Thinking of you on your birthday Josie
But that is nothing new
For no day dawns and no day ends
Without a thought of you.
We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSIE

Another year has passed but I still miss you like it was yesterday darling x For me today is no different from any other, you are in my thoughts every moment of every day.
There you are (with your amazing smile dispite everything) while I somehow carry on living without you :)
You are always in the background of my eye but you are in the forfront of everything I do. I carry on because I have no choice and I have learned to live with both a broken heart and the joy of knowing what you have given to me and this world.
Thank you for being such a huge part of my life, before, now and always.
XXX Happy Angel Birthday.XXX Love you more! Me-mu x

Another true inspiration
Well, beautiful Josie, can't believe its 3 years tommorow since you went to heaven to be a special angel, i can remember that day like yesterday,it was a really bad year for us all,hope you are all including my son Jordan are having a fab time-im sure you will be, as for us lot down here the whole and pain you have all left us is sometimes unbearable, this world will never be the same again without you all, but we know we will all be re-united one day. You lot are now definate proof the "god only takes the best", "only the good die young", and "you were too good for this world" there have never been truer words said. I guess you will know all that is going on down here but im gonna tell you again- your mum is doing a fantastic job with your Josie dragonfly fund, we as very very proud parents will continue with raising funds and awareness for children/teenagers in the North East fighting cancer in your names because for what you all go through, its the least we can do for you, Say hi to all the others from me, love you loads,and sending love to all the other inspirations we have met, and heard of. Oh and by the way i have already let Jordan know but you might like to spread the word up there too for me, although im sure Jordan will be letting you all know, my gorgeous little niece Sophie Atay will soon be with you all, so can you all welcome her with loads of love and cuddles and look after her please, shes only a weeny little one and needs a huge loving welcome, thank you.
Andrea Thompson-Jordan's mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
