Alfie
There's a friend for little children up above the bright blue sky, a friend who will never leave you and a friend who will never die.

Alfie, You've brought us all such happiness and we'll miss you so much and will never, never forget you

Alfie, Your Great Granny is waiting to hold you tight and keep you safe. She loves all little children.

I've already got a special star for you. It's "Alfie's Star"

Lots and lots of special love,
Granny and Grandpa.

Dear Alfie Jack Morland

Take care, little man, you will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts. Sleep tight, sweet dreams, Alfie, we all love you and will look after Mummy and Daddy. At night we will see you twinkle. God bless.

When the rain falls we'll feel you and when the wind blows we'll hear you.

Dear little Alfie Jack,

In just five months you have given such joy to your darling Mum, our Lucy, and your

fabulous Dad, Rob, our much loved son-in-law. But it goes much further - that joy has also united your close family and their wide circle of friends in a very special way. Thank you, Alfie.

You should know, too, that at Horsington in Somerset where you visited us at home, I was preparing all sorts of surprises for you - places where you could cross the stream running down beside our lane, bridges of fallen oak trunks and old railway sleepers, camouflaged paths under willows, trees ready for climbing and building camps, ropes to swing across the water, steps to take you down into the water, hidey-holes to sit and watch robins, kingfishers and so many other beautiful birds and little fish. You would have enjoyed this from dawn to dusk come sun or rain. But, somehow, I believe

you will still be with us, with Josh and maybe Ben from Australia and other cousins to come. In spirit you will be there with us.

But you will be going to a more wonderful place.

Nonetheless we'll try to remain in contact.

We love everything about you, your dear little body, your loved wee soul.

God bless and all love
Your grandparents, Paddy and Ant.

Dearest Alfie,

You have been such a little bundle of joy. You have affected us and touched all who have met you. You are the most beautiful little boy -lovely dark hair and big blue eyes. I'm so sorry that all your cousins will not have a chance to see you grow up. We're praying for you and your wonderful, caring parents, Lucy and Rob. We hope they have the strength to go on - you will never be far from their thoughts.

Missing you always

With all our love,
Alec, Mel, Rob, Bobby, Fiona, Charlotte, Ali and Hugh xxxoooxxx

Dearest Alfie Jack,

Such a special little man who was only given such a short time but blessed all those who were lucky enough to have the pleasure of knowing you. Born to loving parents, Lucy and Rob, you will forever hold a place in all our hearts. I would have loved to get to know you, little nephew.

One day we'll meet, sometime, somewhere. Wait up but sleep well and peacefully until then.

Look down and give us a wink!
Uncle Paul xxxxxxxxx

Dear Lucy and Rob,

We are so sorry to hear your tragic news.
We never had the chance to meet, but Alfie looked such a darling little boy.
Our thoughts are with you both at this difficult time.
May God bless Alfie.

Sally and James
Bangkok

So much in my thoughts, words are so useless at such a desperate time. Look ahead but never forget, always think of the happy times with Alfie, for he had such loving parents. Life is such a tightrope and can be very tough at times but you have each other and may luck change to bring you both happiness again, you have each other to share your tragic loss so early in your life together. Good luck my dears- keep busy. Little Alfie will always be in my heart and my understanding of your immense loss is truly very real.
Gran x

Little Alfie is at peace- so loved by his Great granny

Lucy and Rob, we are so happy and fortunate to have shared good times with you both and Alfie. We will remember him as a bright and smiling wee man that has brought so much pride and joy to his mum and dad. This is how we will always remember Alfie and he will always have a special place in our hearts.
Dave, Ingrid and Finn

Our thoughts are with you at this terrible time. Little Alfie will always be remembered and be in our hearts.
Love Barbara, Mick and Ella

Thinking of you both and your families at this difficult time.
Lisa and Aaron

Lucy and Rob, thinking of you, with all our love the girls and the babies.

Lucy and Rob all my thoughts and prayers are with the 3 of you. Please make one of your many kisses to Alfie from me. Miffyx

Alfie will always be remembered in our heads and our hearts. We won't forget him. My thoughts and love to you both.
Mel and Alec

As small and as young as Alfie was, I am so proud of him. He was so happy and so loved and that is how we will be remembered. Brandon and I consider ourselves extremely privileged and fortunate to have been part of Alfie's life. We love him very much and we will always keep him close to our hearts and his memory alive. When I go back to South Africa, I will plant a flowering plant in our garden in his memory and a little statue of an angel next to it. It won't bring him back but it will help me to feel close to him. I will always be here for you and Rob, no matter what you go through and no matter how far apart we live. I want you to know how much Alfie touched so many lives. Every single person was so touched by what wonderful parents you are and what a wonderfully beautiful and brave boy Alfie is. Many have shed tears for you and Alfie and have prayed for all of you.
love Anne-marie and Brandonxxx

We are both devastated and full of concern and sympathy for you both in your terrible tragedy over Alfie. It must seem so unfair that such a loved child should be torn from you both at such an early age. Luckily you had long enough with Alfie to have some clear and happy memories of him before he was struck down and am sure these will become the more important of your memories of him,rather than the last days of his life. Your large families and all your friends want to comfort you both. Just draw in on that to find some hope there too. That is what we all wish for.
Alec

Alfie's life touched many of us. You shared your son and we enjoyed the news and the photos as we received them, we shared the joy of his life and now we share, although small compared to yours, the saddness of his death. We know you did everything you could to make Alfie's life good as it could be for him until the end, he must have felt very loved. We send you our love Carolyn and Mike

We can hardly begin to understand the grief that you are both suffering at the tragic loss of Alfie. The last few weeks of Alfie's life must have been so hard for you both and we both send our deepest and most sincere sympathy at this time. All we can say is that you should try and concentrate on the joyous moments that his short life bought to you and to remember him with all the love and affection that you will always feel for such a wonderful little chap. Words alone can only do so much to heal the wounds- time will help but am sure that it will be along road for both of you. Be strong for each other and for the memory of Alfie- just remember that noone can take away your memories. We will remember you and little Alfie in our prayers, with our love to you both
Ed and Christina

I hope the short time has gone a small way to heal your broken hearts and shattered dreams. Alfie is still a part of you now as he always was only his presence is obscured. His roller coaster journey will continue even out of sight. I think about you both often and feel with you some of the sadness, grief and loss that will continue to be with you. Every child that I nurse has a special place in my mind and in my heart as do the parents and siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles. You are all part of what makes a child so unique and special. Even in Alfie's absence there are people far and wide that think of you and wish you both happiness. Even in Alfie's absence, happiness can be achieved- you had so many precious moments together that made your love so strong and so true. Share many happy moments together and don't be afraid to remember nor to forget, all my thoughts are with you
Emma Westrup

David and i send lots of love to you all xx

Hugh

Words cannot convey how sorry we are. We have been thinking of you so much these last few weeks. I wish I had met Alfie. In his photos he looks such a jolly fellow and of course I used to hear all about him from his granny, Ant. Remember Alfie for the lovely baby that he was. Barbara and John Tyman

We are so very sorry to hear the news about Alfie. We are all thinking about you.
Alena, Brian and Skye

Remembering always your gorgeous little man.

Lucy and Rob we were so sad to hear of your great loss and grieve for you. There are no words to convey our feelings or anguish but we send you all our love and prayers.
Sara and Anthony

Dear Rob and Lucy, we were so sorry to hear of your precious Alfie.
Mary and Alex

Guy and I are very sorry to hear such devastating news. It is almost impossible to believe that he had such a short life, but he was, I know so much loved, that for him this must have been the strongest emotion. He was a very beautiful little boy. You both must have been so proud to have had him, even for such a short time. We send our condolences and very much sympathy. Judy Gibbs

Dearest Lucy and Rob, we are thinking of you and alot of Alfie over this time. All our love Melissa, Andrew and Emily

Lucy and Rob, my thoughts are with you and Rob always.
Bonx

May god rest your little soul in peace.
Jessica and Phiroze

With sincere regret.
Audrey and Ted

Dearest Lucy and Rob, it has taken me so long to write to you about the terrible sad loss of little Alfie and I am so sorry. We were all so shocked and upset and I cannot imagine your relentless pain and grief. To say that you have all our sympathy and condolences is not enough. You will be in our thoughts forever and we will weep with you at this saddest of times. Take tremendous care of yourselves and love each other forever.
Bob and Helen

Alfie had such a short but sweet life, they used to say that only the lucky and the blessed died young. If that is the case then Alfie has been spared much heartache and that he had a good life whilst he was with you.
Jenny

I am so sorry for your loss and words cannot express the sum of pain that you must be going through at the moment. I know that both Niamh and FIona were heartbroken for you as I was and anyone here that has heard your sad news. I hope that you and Rob find the strength to carry on. You, Rob and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. Please remember to be kind to yourselves
Emma

Our thoughts are with you.
Deborah and Ross

Thinking of you
Katex

We were so very sad to hear about Alfie, it is so hard to believe that the little chap was smiling to the end. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both at this very difficullt time.
Ken and Diana

Alfie, a fantastic little boy with a big smile.
Michelle, Chris and Charley

Lucy and Rob, words cannot express how deeply saddened we feel and our hearts go out to you Even though he was with you for such a short time, the joy and love he gave you, family and friends will always be remembered and he too will take all of your love to where he is now. I have no doubt he will be looked after by his family that have already passed on, and that one day you will meet again. We send you our love, prayers and although we can't be with you on Thursday you will be in out thoughts.
With love felicity and Simon.

You and all the family have been continually in our thoughts. Alfie did more good in his short life than many people do in years. He made so many people happy and put a smile on so many faces.
John and Margie

We are devastated for you. There are no words that will make you feel better. The memory of that precious little baby boy will always be with you. Our prayers are with you and the family, our family (your family) far away cried with you. All our love and prayers
Mike and Kerry Cowden

I am so sad to hear of your loss. I hope you find peace in the warm memories you have of Alfie. Life is difficult and challenging, but weaved into it is beauty, wonder and delicateness. May the love between you be strong and supportive and may you feel the love and support from others holding you in their hearts and minds, thinking of you with deepest sympathy and love Judy Tjan

Alfie will continue to touch people's lives.
Sarah F.

We were all so sorry to hear of your tragedy last year and the loss of your baby- what a great sadness for you all, especially poignant around now and what would have been a 1st birthday. i hope you can look forward with hope, while continuing to cherish the memory of the baby you had so briefly.
