Paige would have been celebrating her second birthday on the 7th of February. We all want you to know that we love you cherub and so wish we could see you blow out your candles. Lots and lots of love and kisses from mummy, daddy, your grandparents, all your aunts and uncles and your cousins. WE LOVE YOU!
















Our beautiful and adored baby Paige May, my sister Tammy's first child 
was born asleep on Tuesday the 7th of 
February 
2006, 
weighing seven pounds and half an ounce. 
What should have been a day of celebration 
turned into 
a day that we will never forget, for all the 
wrong reasons. It is hard to accept that this 
gorgeous baby girl, so perfect in every way, 
was born without life. And harder still 
to accept that her 
death was down to a midwife's neglect and 
could easily have been avoided. Paige was alive and well when Tammy was admitted to Kings Mill hospital, Nottinghamshire but she died because the midwife failed to monitor her properly - or AT ALL during the labour. Tammy instinctively knew that something was wrong, that Paige had stopped moving but the midwife was unconcerned, even when a doppler failed to pick up a heartbeat. After Paige was born still this midwife had the presence of mind and cold hearted calculation to go back and LIE on Tammy's medical notes, claiming that she was checking the baby's heart rate every 15 minutes throughout the labour and that Paige's heart was beating normally until 10 minutes before she was born. It had, in fact, been over two hours before delivery that Paige's heart was last checked - and almost two hours since the midwife had even been into her room! A baby's delivery is frightening to any first time mother but to be frightened, worried, concerned for your baby's well being AND left alone to 'get on with it' by hospital staff is unforgiveable, especially when the outcome is as tragic and heartbreaking as this. The post mortem showed that this darling little girl had suffocated on merconium. Had she been given the care and attention which is normal in this day and age, her distress in the womb would have been detected and she could have been saved.  
An investigation into this little 
angel's death has now been started and 
we all hope that justice will be done and spare some 
other families the pain and loss we are having 
to endure, and the heartache Paige's mummy 
and daddy feel each end every day.       

Kings Mill hosptial have now completed their 'internal' investigation into this act of negligence and, as expected, have found no fault on their part or that of the midwife involved. Although this lady is to be having 'extra training' they say that they are happy to accept her version of events and have chosen to believe her when she has continued to lie that what she wrote on the medical notes is correct and she did monitor Tammy's labour properly. This midwife continues to work at Kings Mill Hospital.
It doesn't end here for Paige's parents and family. Legal proceedings have now been actioned and an independant investigation will now take place. We WILL make sure the truth comes out and we WILL get justice for Paige. 
Paige would be alive and well today - celebrating her first birthday, if this lady had done her job properly. This is not an easy thing to accept. Everyone makes mistakes. But some people have the guts to admit when they have done so and say 'sorry'. Sorry wouldn't bring our baby back, but would go some way towards helping Paige's family begin to heal. Instead, this lady continues to lie to cover her own back - not giving a damn what effect her actions continue to have on Paige's parents and family. Haven't they suffered enough? It doesn't matter how long it takes or how much it costs - we will make sure that this lady and those who have aided her lies, will pay for the damage they have done. For Paige.                    





Happiness has turned to dispair, laughter 
to tears, congratulations to condolences, 
anticipation to anguish and joy to pain. 
                                               

A bright and promising future has been 
denied - first smile, first tooth, first steps, 
school days, graduation - all of the things 
you look forward to when a new baby 
arrives were cruelly and senselessly 
snatched away, leaving behind a painful 
emptiness and many unanswered questions.
                                                           

Paige's mummy and daddy, Tammy and Carl, 
have faced this tragedy with such dignity and 
togetherness. They have shown strength 
and courage beyond their years and are an 
inspiration to everyone who knows them.

                         
                       
We are all thinking of you Tammy and Carl. 
And I promise you, your beautiful angel 
will always be loved and never forgotten.

Tammy, Carl and their families would like to

beautiful messages on this site. Your

have touched us deeply and we are 
very, very grateful. Thank you. x 
                           


                           
                                                      
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MUMMY - SENT ALL THE 
WAY FROM HEAVEN WITH LOTS OF 
ANGEL KISSES. X X X X X X  
                   
                      
 
                  
 
Dedicated to the tiniest angels,
who rest in the Father's arms.

An angel once lay beneath my heart,
A promise of life to come;
My little babe, was resting there,
Yet, would not follow me home.
My tiny, precious angel,
Had plans unknown to all,
For my Angel heard the voice of God,
And hastened to His call.

My Angel flew on fragile wings,
Into the Father's arms;
To slumber there in peaceful rest,
Untouched by earthly harms.
So, slumber there my precious child,
Till I can come to you;
I'll keep you here, deep in my heart,
Till my journey on earth is through.







MUMMY
Although you cannot see me
Know that I am near
You will always be my Mummy
Though my body is not here
My heart is wrapped around you
As yours is too with mine
For the love we have between us
Will not be lost in time.

 


     

Special Angel In Heaven

There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is a part of me.
It is not where I wanted her
but where God wanted her to be.

She was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though she is in Heaven
she isn't very far.

She touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
I would've held her every minute
if the end I only knew.

So I send this special message
to the Heavens up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send her all my love.
