Josie's Dragonfly Trust

Dedicated to Brightening the Lives of Children & Teenagers with Cancer.

Josie Madeline Grove designed the Dragonfly Pendant in the last month of her life in the hope that she could make a difference to the children and friends with Cancer that she was leaving behind. Josie had Acute Myeloid Leukemia and died in 2007 after a long battle and two bone marrow transplants, aged just 16.

The first Dragonfly samples arrived just 4 days before Josie died and she was absolutely thrilled with them. Through the Dragonfly Pendant Josie’s strength courage and happiness lives on and she continues to inspire many thousands of people all over the world.

Josie’s Dragonfly Trust makes a huge and real difference to children in cancer hospitals across the UK and especially to children & teenagers, where treatment is no longer considered curative.

Silver items start from 17 pounds and include a 5 pound donation to Josie’s Dragonfly Trust. Gold items are also available which include a 20 pound donation. The charity also relies heavily on fundraising and donations.

Josie’s Dragonfly Trust is a voluntary organization.(Registered Charity No 1121768)

Forever Young
May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young ,Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
For, Forever Young, Forever Young

all my love theresa xxx

Stairway

Stairway……

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I’d walk right up to heaven
And bring you home again

why god.

The first thing that I asked God
was just the reason why
when he took my precious daughter
beyond the stars in the sky
as we held on to her body
I then started to scream and shout
was this God so really kind
as people were making out
but my anger then turned to sadness
as we held her in our arms
she was still our beautiful daughter
truly an angel with all her charms
it was then I started to wonder
as my eyes filled up to cry
was my angel needed elsewhere
and is that the reason why. godbless you. xxx

A Candlelight Glows In Memory



A candlelight glows in memory,

Of the love we still hold.

A life that touched so many,

Treasured gifts as memories unfold.

Our eyes well up with tears,

As we try to be strong.

Yet throughout our remaining years,

For their love we will long.

If we could just remember,

The Lord reaches out His hand.

He'll walk with us forever-

Help our hearts to understand.

Trusting Him to take our sorrow,

Faith He will see us through.

Will guide us towards tomorrow,

Filled with His blessings too.

So honor your precious loved one,

With the candlelight a glow.

Knowing your healing has begun,

As your teardrops gently flow.

A special Child...

The Dead they sleep...
The dead they sleep a long, long sleep;
The dead they rest, and their rest is deep;
The dead have peace, but the living weep.

we cant bring back yesterday
Or stop these falling tears
our love for you continues to grow
Even though its been some years

we cant let go, we wont let go
No matter what they say
our love for you lives on and on
Each and every day

we hear them say we must move on
But it all falls on deaf ears
This heart is yours and always will be
For many many years.

love as always Alison
