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.

the UK and especially to children & teenagers, where treatment is no longer considered curative.

Angel of Comfort.
When each day brings only sadness
and your heart is filled with pain
You will find it hard to believe
that you'll ever smile again
But when your crying deep inside

And will be there to comfort you
and wipe away your tears
There are wings of love around you
and you can depend upon
Your angel Josie, who will give you the hope
and the strength to carry on.
missing our daughters at christmas
Hello josie just to let you i thinking of you along with Tuesday today you are sadly missed every day but christmas has got to be the worse always in my heart
Tuesday mummy xxxxx
On wings of flight to realms unknown
the white soft downy dove has flown
Alone he soars, dips then dives,
revelling in the freedom of the azure skies
The watcher below is granted a glimpse,
a fleeting glimpse and marvels at the sight
Envious, oh, would that he might, be bathed
as the dove in radiance bright
His feet are firmly planted,
yet, in dreams, his wish is granted
Dream on watcher, one day you will be free
Together you'll fly, patience, wait quietly
When the time is right, the dazzling sun
will disperse the gloom of deepest night
J. Salloway July 1986 (for Memorial Service)
The days of my lfe were yours
My youth and the years of my life were yours
The love in my life was yours
All yours, forever yours
Be happy in the realms of our Lord above
I wish you joy and peace my love
Does your spirit roam free
In the place where you dwell
A land of white light, flowers and trees
With sparkling rivers and silver seas
Do you think of me?
Do you remember me?
Lost in the shadows of the past
I would the memories that haunt me could be stilled at last
When souls fly free if memories die
Surely love remains, the lasting flame
When my eyes grow dim
Come to meet me if you can
Take my hand and lead me on
Together forever
Blessed eternity
pennies from heaven
Found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin I found
Pennies come from heaven
that's what I was always told
They say angels toss them down
oh, how I love this story
They say when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That JOSIE tossed to you
A SPECIAL FRIEND X
Xx Pass this on to all your close friends xX
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there
Thank you for everything you do xXx love always
Hello 2 josies family. I was reading an article about Josie at Alder Hey childrens hospital last thursday as my baby is under a specialist there for a blood disorder. I thought the dragonfly pendant were beautiful and i couldnt beleive how much of a star josie was to think of ways to help other people in her last few weeks. She is such an assett to everyone. I have been worried sick about my little girl who is now 11 months but has been ill since birth. We only found out what was wrong with her 2 months ago. So my heart goes out to Josies family for all that they have gone through. Josie you are a star, sleep well with the angels xxxx
