Hanging Heaton
Olivia died of cancer she was taken too soon at the age of only 18. Everyone who know Olivia knew that she was a fighter and no matter how much pain she was in she was always smiling, no matter what she always made you feel better and happy when you were around her. Everyone has good and happy memories of Liv and these will stay with them forever. I havent known her for that long but the 3 years i have, have been great and full of happy memories the main thing i remember about her was the fact she always smiled and also when i used to push her about 6form in her wheelchair she knew i wasnt the best driver but she always trusted me to push here there n everywhere. I will miss you loads and im sure everyone else who met you will 2. You were so brave Liv an inspiration to us all. Rest In Peace Angel xxx

hey leigh its me again. i've been thinkin about you a lot today. i was sat at school thinking i'd give you a ring when i got home then i remembered i couldn't i dont know how i forget, and i know i shouldn't but i just do. it still doesn't feel real. well not yet anyway. It probably wont for a long time.
I haven't seen your mum in a while might give her a quick text she how shes doin. :) i asked her if she fancied going shoppin but she said she only felt upto debenhams. usual auntie michelle there lol.
I wish i could see you one last time you know just to tell you that you meant the world to me and i wished i could have done more to help. I did come see you, and i know i didn't speak much, i said 'Hi' and 'Bye' that was the only words i could string together without crying lol. Bet you think im a right fool haha. It just hurt me too much to see you like that. But if i could turn back time i would have spoken to you loads and i would have made you better. I know you were a fighter but you shouldn't have had to fight. We should be out in Leeds again.
I never had the chance to say thankyou to you either, because having you in my life has made me the person i am today and i would never change that.You made my life you will always be my best friend. I promise you that.
Love you always
I miss you

an inspiration to us all
I have many happy memories of olivia mostly by text,the last few chats we had were finished when olivia would say 'got to go now very tired,look after yourself love you'.always thinking about other people olivia never ceased to amaze me.we had a special bond,the gap in my heart is filled by the happy memories of a beautiful brave girl who will be with me forever.you fought your illness with dignity,you will always be with me wherever i am,god bless darling going to really miss my text buddy.
Love you always uncle alan x.
I miss you
i just wanted you to know how much i miss you. i thought you were guna pull through this, you were a freat fighter leigh. Remeber Tiger Tiger, i thought shes going to get better and fight this. You didnt deserve this at alll, but at least your not suffering, it was unbearable to see you suffer. I walked with Gemma and Jordan at funeral, but you probably know that alrady, i tried not to cry because i knew you'd be laughing at me. lol. i hope i did you proud as a best friend Leigh, i tried my best just hope it was good enough. i never told you how much you meant to me but i hope i showed it. I'll look after your mum, but you've got to look after me too. :)
i love you

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
Author Unknown
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.
know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, 'This is eternity,
and all I've promised you'.
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
We love you and will dearly miss you
Dear Olivia, such a battle you have fought with such determination, grace and such a spirit ... a spirit that will never be forgotten. I feel a million miles away at this very sad time and how I wished I could have been with you, Michelle, Andrew, Jordan, Uncle Terence, Aunty Maureen, Howard and family. You were always, daily, in my thoughts and my prayers. I am thankful that you are no longer struggling in pain and that you are now up there with your Uncle George (my dear Dad) to look after you. Thank you for your friendship, your emails and your wonderful spirit, Olivia. I will always love and remember you ... I will treasure our last Christmas phone conversation and how we laughed together ... and I will see you one day in Heaven .... your wonderful smile will be hard to miss !!! With all my love, Stella - and love too from Steve, Christopher George and Karrina Leigh xxxx
