This website is primarily dedicated to the memory and courage of an amazing young girl and to the continued strength and inspiration of her family. Also I hope that the site will raise awareness of neuroblastoma which is a fairly rare but particularly serious and nasty form of childhood cancer that attacks the nervous system.
Christine Shayna Thomas βChristiβ, the beloved daughter of Shayne and Angela Thomas, the adored big sister and best friend of Shayla and te very special friend of Emma and Nicky died on September 19, 2006 at just 9 years old. Christi battled with Neuroblastoma for 4 hard years during which she was described as "bravely fighting with the strength of a soldier while maintaining the grace and beauty of a ballerina, happily teaching lifeβs lessons to everyone she met and touched along the way". Christi had great loves of animals, people, art, learning, ballet and most of all she was beautiful, funny and had a great love of life that never, ever left her.
Although our sweet Christi has indeed 'gone too soon' from earth, she will forever live on in the hearts and minds of her family, friends & thousands of others around the world who knew her in person and through her website which recorded her incredible journey.
Throughout her illness with the tireless, loving support of her family Christi, worked to support and raise awareness of neuroblastoma. This work continues in many ways after her death. The most powerful example of this being an experimental cell line taken from Christi's body is being used in trials in Amercia to try to establish a cure for this terrible illness - given that only 1 in 20 of these succeeds it's testament to this amazing girl that hers is that one!
I could never do justice to this incredible, inspirational, beautiful young girl and her wonderful family but you can find out much more about them all by visiting Christi's website and the blog her family started during her illness and faithfully continue to update :-

I think the following quote from Christi's mum Angela perfectly sums up our feelings for Christi : "Without a doubt, she knows sheβs loved! Without a doubt, she gave one hell of a fight!"
Friends all over the world continue to love, miss & be inspired by Christi and her family.
We miss you Christi xx
Remembered, missed, wished for and most importantly,m loved always - Christi Thomas (12th May 1997 - 19th September 2006)
****---------------BABY ANGEL------------------- ****
Also through this website we remember the short (less than 24 hours) but important life of my special niece whom we have come to know as "Baby Angel" - her real name is Christi too but that makes life more confusing and painful just now - besides a Baby Angel is now what she is.
Our Baby Angel is the much wanted and long waited for, very beautiful baby daughter of my twin sister Emma. We all know Emma would have been the best "forever mummy" that any girl could wish for but unfortunately, owing to one dreadful act that happened in the evening of bonfire night 2006, our sweetheart became an angel on 6th November 2006, not quite 23 hours after she joined us on earth. Although our Emma was never allowed to be "mummy" in the usual way, she has a different way to be mummy to our little one and although the pain of that is not measurable, my sister does her little one, herself and the rest of us very proud indeed.
Although very small, our Baby Angel was, is and will forever be a huge, much loved and very wished for part of our family. We know that she is being taken good care of in her new place by her "angel sister" Christi and also Lottie and that she has a very special "angel brother" called Jack - a beautiful, funny little boy who should never have had to share the same experience as our baby angel.
It would mean the very world to us and to Baby Angel, if she could both be remembered along with our other very special angel Christi. This page and all of the friends we have met through the memory of our beautiful and much loved Christi and our little baby angel mean so very much to us all and we send you all our love and thanks for thinking of us.
Unfortunately it is sometimes difficult for us to visit Christi & Baby Angels page or those of their amazing new angel 'family' ' and friends as often as we would like to but we are always mindful that our girls have introduced us to some very, very special friends. We all really do think of you all very often and are very grateful to eveyone who shares their time and kindness with us in honour of our 2 beautiful little angels - thankyou xxx
****---------------EMMA------------------- ****
Also remembering my very much loved twin sister Emma who at last joined her Baby Angel on 19th July 2009 - Emma, my darling "better-half", I love you more than you could imagine & miss you so very much. I hope that at finally you "know how it feels to be free" & that you have found the happiness & peace that you so deserve.
♥Sending you Prayers Angel♥

A little tribute, small and tender,
Just to say we still remember.
The tears in my eyes I can wipe away,
The ache in my heart will never go away.
Tenderly we treasure the past,
With memories that will always last.
As you were you will always be,
Treasured forever in our memory.
MY NEW YEAR WISH TO ALL ANGELS
if only i had the wings of a dove
i would fly up to heaven and give you my love
this pain in my heart would go away
and then once more enjoy new years day
instead i recall new years in the past
the happy times i thought would last
but no that was not meant to be
instead in gods garden you walk free
so im sending my love and hugs to you above
and wishing you a happy new year in heaven with love xx
forever loved and missed so much xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

All my love Sylvie

Memories of a special "Daughter" at Christmas...
Why were you taken? It doesn't seem fair.
And now there's a pain,that is so hard to bear.
Especially at Christmas,a joyous time of the year.
Which is all about families, but my memories are still clear.
And the fact is, my dear daughter that these pictures of you,
Do provide consolation and help me to get through.
You made everyone smile, You were as bright as the sun.
Simply bursting with love, giving laughter and fun.
So, although there is a sadness that we aren't together
The love you provided will live on forever.
love from your brokenhearted mum xxxx
FOR A SPECIAL LOVED ONE XX
We've shared our hearts, full of Holiday Cheer
and shopped for presents for loved ones this year
the house is dressed up with garland and lights
that sparkle and shine through the Holiday nights
But even with all of this Holiday bliss
there’s someone we lost that we terribly miss
and as this Christmas Day draws near
we wish with all of our hearts she was here.
She's living her life way up past the stars
Somewhere past Jupiter, Saturn and Mars
She's spending her Christmas in Heaven, you see
And last night as I slept, a dream came to me
She was standing before me, happy and well
she said to me "I have something to tell…
Heaven's more wondrous than you would believe
it’s the greatest of gifts I could ever receive.
I'd like for you all to remember the good…
You know that I'd be there if only I could.
So don't feel so bad that I'm not there
There are so many memories you can share
As you gather together, I'm sure you'll find
the gifts deep within you that I left behind.
Each one is unique and wrapped brightly in love
they shine from your hearts as I shine from above.
LOVE FROM FRANCES AND HER ANGELS XXXX
TO A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL WITH LOVE XX
~~~~ Two Twinkling Stars ~~~~
I looked up to the sky last night
and saw two twinkling stars,
I thought about the distance
of Jupiter and Mars.
I thought how far was heaven
was it further than these two
I wondered just how far it was
to Gods garden and to you.
I know one day I'll find out
just how far I'll need to travel
I know that God one day for me
this mystery will unravel
Until that day I'll miss you
every hour that I live through
I'll miss you till the day
comes when I'll finally be with you.

TO A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL WITH LOVE XX
You are gone from me now,
but one they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days..
we love and miss you so much xxx
