Baby Demi-Leigh Richards

In Loving Memory Of My Baby Girl Demi-Leigh xx

Demi-Leigh was born on the 02/04/08 @ 11:36am and sadly grew her wings on the same day just 3 & a
half hours old x she passed peacefully away in my arms and was pronounced an angel at 15:00 hours xx
this is a moment in my life i'll never forget, letting my daughter pass on to the next world xxx

Demi-Leigh left this world an angel due to my membranes rupturing at 23 weeks but she defied the
odds of being born 3-5days later and made her arrival 2 weeks later at 26+1 weeks at leicster royal
infirmary x she was born very black but had a white patch on her left cheek.(as you will see in her
picture) x she was 35cm long and weighed in at 1lb 2oz with a head circumfrence of 24cm x she was
tiny but perfect xx sadly her lungs just wernt strong enough to take in the oxygen she needed and
doctors broke the news to me to tell me they wanted to call it a day xx this became the worst day of
my life and was terrifying to have to go through this xx the doctors gave me a choice of to leave
her on the ventilator and let her pass on or take her off and let her spend her last moments with
her parents xx i chose to take her off and they brought her into us wrapped in a towel with her
tubing still attached and placed her in my arms x i unwrapped the towel and watched as her chest
rose and fell till the very last beat xx she was gone at 15:00 hours at just 3 n half hours old xx
we got to tell her how much we loved her before her wings grew and will never forget the day my life
turned upside down xxx

Demi-Leigh was laid to rest on 17/04/08 at shire lodge cemetery and has been reunited with her great
nanny and grandad xxx

Demi-Leigh has a big brother Logan and is now a big sister to her baby brother Tee-Jay who made his
safe arrival on june 4th 09 xx

She leaves behind her heartbroken mummy and family who all loved her so much and would do anything
to have her back on earth with us xxx

Thank You to everyone who supported us during this very sad time in my life, but most of all i'd
like to thank the Co-op funeral parlour on darley dale road in corby for the beautiful send off they
gave for my baby girl and Thank You Father paul for a beautiful service you provided for my angel at
St John the baptist church in corby old village xxx

R.I.P Baby Girl xx love you sooo much xxx see you one day in those beautiful gardens of heaven xxx
