Shanique was the most beatiful girl in the world and my best friend.
She fought a long and brave fight with cancer but it finally claimed her on the 8th Aug 2008 aged 17
yrs.
She never complained about anything, the chemo, sickness, hair loss and even when she was told her
condition was terminal!
She continued at school and passed ALL her GCSE's and enrolled in 6th Form where took History,
English Lit, Law and psycology. Her aim was to go to Bristol Uni and become a Criminal
Psychologist.
Her main concern was that i wasn't upset and so she planned her own funeral.
We all wore red and white and had some of her favourite songs playing at the funeral. It all went
off as she would have wanted!
She was a beautiful soul who was loved by everyone who knew her.
Star To the End.
When Shanique passed away her story was reported in the local newspaper.
I was contacted by a reporter asking if they could feature a story about Shanique as her story was
so uplifting. That may sound strange but let me explain.
When Shanique found out earlier this year that her condition was terminal she chose NOT to tell her
friends as she didn't want to upset them as they got ready to take their exams!
She would smile, joke, and generally just be herself as she was determined to live what life she had
left to the full.
Throughout everything she used to say to me please don't be sad mum and the only time she got upset
was if she saw me struggling with it!
So she was a star and deserved to be on the front page of the paper so everyone could see what an
inspiration she was.
Night , night sweetie. Love you, mum xx

My Mum, she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before.
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mum how she is
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mum how she is,
She'll say 'I'm alright.'
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mum how she is,
She seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mum how she is,
'I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping.'
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.
I am Here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, 'You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told.
So young
What a beautiful & brave young lady. My deepest sympathy to Shaniques's family & friends. God bless you sweetheart, sleep well, love Gill xxx
For Your Mum x
I have not turned my back on you
so there’s no need to cry
I’m watching you from heaven
just beyond the morning sky
I’ve seen you almost fall apart
when you could barely stand
I ask the lord to comfort you
and watch him take your hand
he told me you are in more pain
than I could ever be
he wiped his eyes and swallowed hard
then gave your hand to me
although you may not feel my touch
or see me by your side
I’ve whispered that I love you
while I wiped each tear you cried
so please try not to ache for me
well meet again one day
beyond the dark and stormy sky
a rainbow lights the way
So Sad-So Young-So Sorry
