Maria McNamara was born on 11th January 2000 as a healthy little baby girl. She was never really ill
as a baby until she was 6 when we noticed something was wrong her face was droopy and her eye
wasn’t responding like the other eye, so I said ‘Maria smile for me’ and she smiled and I saw
that she couldn’t lift up the right side of her face so we took her to the paediatrician who
diagnosed it as Bells Palsy.
A couple of days later and Maria was saying to me ‘Walk me down the stairs mum, I’m afraid to go
down the stairs. Can you carry me.’ And I thought that was odd, her balance of the room was simply
off. I looked at her eyes and I knew I’d better get her back to the doctors, I just had a feeling
that something wasn’t right.
At that point I’d never in a million years would I have guessed what it would end up being.
On April 1, 2006 life ceased to exist the way my family knew it. My oldest child and only daughter,
Maria, was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). DIPG is an inoperable incurable
brain tumor that strikes children usually between the ages of 5 and 11. A child with this diagnosis
is given a 10 to 12 month life expectancy.
With the devastating diagnosis of our Maria came a great deal of sorrow and pain as well as
desperation. My husband, Ed, and I frantically searched medical journals, books, articles and the
Internet for anything—any sign of hope that we could cling to that might possibly save our
daughter’s life. Instead, we were surprised to find very little research and few experimental
trials. That which we did find was difficult to decipher from a layman’s perspective and, of
course, each case study ended in the death of a child.
Even from this news, we never gave up hope as we knew she wwas strong enough to battle it.
On the 14th July 07, She became a Saint in Heaven at 1:30 in the morning because her little body
couldn't hang in any longer.
No words can describe the impact she has left on so many lives.
Maria's brothers, Eddie, Aidan, and Blake and Mom and Dad were with her at home.
Please ask God to give us the strength we need.
We love you Maria. You will be with us everyday.
**** On the 6th October 2007 Maria's best friend Sophie Quayle passed away, please visit her site
please on GTS which i have created, but with her own mum's words not mine. May they both be reunited
in heaven & rest in peace out of pain.****
Heavens gate swung gently open
the master called softly 'come'
and you, dear one, took the masters hand
and your work on earth was done
we'll never cease to miss you
and shed many silent tears
because we cannot share with you
our hopes, our joys, our fears
but one day in gods garden
when the master calls us to come
you'll be at the gates with open arms
and say to us 'welcome home'
Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x
The angels sang Amazing Grace
Our lord came down and touched your face
He held your hand and whispered low
Come with me it's time to go...
The gates of heaven opened wide
The angels lined up side by side
For a special guest was on their way
the day they took our precious one away...
Love ~ Hugs ~ Kisses ~~ Jane...x♥x

Dear Lord
Every single evening
as i'm lying here in bed
this tiny little prayer
keeps running through my head,
god bless my family
wherever they may be
keep them warm and safe from harm
for they're so close to me,
and god there is one more thing
I wish that you could do
hope you don't mind me asking
please bless my computer too,
now I know that it's unusual
to bless a motherboard
but listen just a second
while I explain it to you lord,
you see that little metal box
holds more than odds and ends
inside those small compartments
rest so many of my friends,
I know so much about them
by the kindness that they give
and this little scrap of metal
takes me in to where they live,
by faith is how I know them
much the same as you
we share in what life brings us
and from that our friendship grew,
please take an extra minute
from your duties up above
to bless those in my address book
thats filled with so much love,
wherever else this prayer may reach
to each and every friend
bless each e-mail inbox
and each person who hits 'send',
when you update your heavenly list
on your own great CD-ROM
bless everyone who hears this prayer
sent up to GOD.COM
Thinking of you always ~~ Love Jane...x♥x

Have you ever truly heard
an angel whisper in your ear?
their voices are soft and comforting
letting you know you have nothing to fear...
If you listen very carefully
you might just hear their sweet voice
whispering to you of gods perfect love
and all things that make you rejoice...
They do their very best
to always watch over you
to keep you safe and happy
in everything you do...
So next time you feel lonely
kind of scared or feeling blue
just whisper to your angel
and listen...for they will whisper back to you...
Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x

Thinking of you today.
Good morning Maria sweetheart
Sorry that I haven't visited for a while, things have been a bit rubbish again BUT today's all about you isn't it - that's why I had to stop by to send you lots of love on your birthday. I hope that your pink party with Christi, Lottie, Brogan, Sophie and all of your angel friends is every bit as special as you are- how could it be any different? I know it won't be the same as parties that you've had before but christi & the others will be taking very good care of you and making sure that you have lots of 'pink fun', laughter and lots of time to do all of your favourite things. Your mum, the rest of your family, friends & everyone else who'll be missing you more than ever today don't need to be a bit worried because you'll have lots of time to pay each every one of them an extra special visit today - that's just the magical way that it works in heaven for all of you clever angels.
Lots of love to you sweetheart & to your lovely family as always - keep smiling that gorgeous smile!
Emma xx
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you it's beauty
On the days you're feeling blue...
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone...
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things i'm finding
Are impossible for me...
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend whos always there...
Love Always...Jane...x♥x
