Memorial to Lucy Shevlin, April - May, 2002.
This site is dedicated to the memory of Lucy Olivia Shevlin.
'Of all the gifts in life, however great or small,
To have you as my daughter was the greatest gift of all'
On April 18th 2002, my beautiful little girl, Lucy Olivia was born. She was born with Trisomy 13 (Patau's Syndrome) which had not been detected antenatally. It is a condition not compatible with life. Lucy 'fell asleep' forever in my arms on the 6th May 2002. She was 18 days old. Though in my arms a short time, she will be loved and missed forever xx Sweetdreams my baby girl. Mummy loves and misses you more than words could ever say xx
Like a Butterfly you flew beside us like a sunbeam,
And for a Brief Moment,
Your glory and beauty belonged to this world!
But then you flew on again.
And though we wish you could have stayed,
We feel so lucky to have had you in our lives!
