    Dear Naoise,
    You came in to this world as one of Gods little angels,and looking true your blog pictures and videos we find it hard to know that a girl so beautiful has been taken away from us so early in life.but you are in a better place now.were you are free to do all the things you could never do on earth you can now do in paradise.I hope the rest of the family and friends who have passed away are taken care of you..and we look forward to seeing you again when we go to heaven.until then you will always remain in our hearts

    We are all really sad to hear that Naoise has passed away and we will no longer hear her updates but we will continue to be inspired by her brave fight and how she was so happy and patient throughout her life. We will miss her birthday at Lilian's at Christmas but we will still think of her. We are on our holidays right now so will talk to you Michelle when we get back.

    Poem for Michelle, Derek and all Naoise's family and friends.

    When God called little Naoise
    To dwell with him above,
    We humans sometimes question
    The wisdom of his love.
    For no heartache compares with,
    The death of one small child
    Who does so much to make our world
    Seem wonderful and mild.
    Perhaps God is tired of calling
    The aged to his fold,
    So he picks a little pink rose
    Before it can grow old.
    God knows how much we need them,
    And so he takes but few,
    To make the land of heaven
    More beautiful to view.
    Believing this is difficult
    Still somehow we must try
    The saddest word mankind knows
    Will always be goodbye.
    So when a little child departs,
    We who are left behind
    Must realise God loves children
    Little pink angels are hard to find.

    Hi Derek, I still remember the time that Naoise was born. We were all working in the Sugarloaf room out in Sandyford. I never did get to meet her in person, but I remember what a proud Dad you were back in those early days.

    The thoughts of your Sydney-based Sandyford crew (Mona, Fergal, Steve McNulty and myself) are with you.

    It has been a while since Naoise has passed and I thought it might be easier reading what she has wrote now that it has been a while but I am seating here writing with tears in my eyes. As I am sure everybody who has been on this blog. I didn't know Naoise very well yet I wish I had. No matter what she was always smiling. I can still remember the way i felt when I heard that Naoise wasn't going to coming back to school. I just started to cry and I couldn't stop. R.I.P! You are always in my prayers.
