Lily-Mae Fletcher

Our beautiful darling, extremely intelligent baby girl Lily-Mae was born 7th April 2009. On 9th April 2010 our world was shattered when she was diagnosed as being terminally ill with SMA Type 1 (also known as Werdnigg Hoffman Disease). On 11th April 2010 we nearly lost her to pneumonia but she proved she was every bit our little fighter and survived against the odds. Lily-Mae then lived another 11 months and despite not being physically able she was as sharp as a button and very smart with a fantastic vocabulary. She loved singing and music and loved playing with her big brother Archie. Sadly on 4th March 2011 aged 23 months Lily-Mae passed away peacefully. Lily-Mae had a smile that could light up the darkest of places and a face that could make the worst of times bearable. Most of us like to believe our children are destined for great things but Lily-Mae truly was and continues to be. The joy and happiness she brought to everyone's lives is unrivalled. Some people could live 100 years and not make the impact she has made in her short little life.
