Becky passed away on wednesday 17th January 2007 aged 10, she lived in Bristol with her mum and dad
and big sister Aimee aged 11.

Becky was diagnosed with a brain tumour called a medulloblastoma on the 10/06/06 after 75 % of the
tumour was removed she developed a severe posterior foss syndrome afterwards and over the following
months had gradually resolving neurological funtion.

Following several operations Becky had chemo, radiotherapy and more chemo, her latest course of
cemo was commenced on the 2nd January 2007. Becky was admitted to hospital on Thursday 11th January
with febrile neutropaenia, her condition got worse over the next few days and on Saturday 13th Becky
was move to picu and put into a medically induced coma, despite maximum inotropic and renal support
Becky continued to deteriorate after several discussions with us and the medical team and given the
futility of further treatment support was withdrawn and her life support machine was turned off at
11.00 on the 17th January 2007 Becky passed away very rapidly and peacefully in my arms and we lost
our beautiful daughter at 11.20.

Becky was a loving child who wore her heart on her sleeve, she had many friends and was a popular
child at school, known for her caring outlook and lovely smile, sometimes stuburn but always
forgiving.

Becky enjoyed many holidays with her family and would always love to dance at every opportunity,
Her sense of humour would often have all around laughing with tears in there eyes.

We have to live on with our memories of Becky, there is a massive hole in our hearts and this will
never be filled.

Life will never be the same those memories you have left will stay with us forever, I see your
smiling face everyday

Her bravery and courage shown whilst fighting her illness was an insperation to all that knew Becky
and has given us the strength to carry on.
Here is a short tribute one of many written by of Becky's class mates.

Becky was our friend
she sparkled
Becky loved a good giggle
her laughter filled the room,
classes didn't get in the way of a good natter,
she always had a joke to share or a story to tell,
she was always ready for a challenge,
her determination shone through.
her caring nature brightened up our day !.

A fund was set up in Becky's memory and donations were passed to Bristol Childrens Hospital, the
final sum received was £4605.69.
The money has been used to purchase 6 reclining chairs and 6 fans for the ongology unit ward 35, a
postural control seat for the physiotherapy dept and a single donation of £550.00 to the ongology
play team.
Also a specialist wheel chair was purchase for the childrens ward a Bristol Frenchay hospital.
Many thanks to all for the donations received.

why

Why do we see so many people stuggling through life, with limited health and strength who have lived for many years I'm sure they could do gods work in heaven just as good as our Becky, god did not need to take my becky at such a young age, becky was so carring to other people becky should have been allowed to continue her loving ways in this world, surely god could have waited. We were blessed with just 10 years, our becky and us deserved more, and what a painful and horrible way to take her.
