In loving memory of Michael Peter Crayford who sadly passed away on 29th March 2017, aged 13 years

Family flowers to Rainham by 4:30 pm Wednesday.
Donations by cheque for My Shining Star or Kings College Hospital Charity (please specify they are for Lion Ward) may be sent direct to the charity
Or donations for My Shining Star may also be made on-line

Michael, our beloved son,and brother to his twin sisters, fought a brave battle with this illness, we are all very proud of him, the bravery he showed, when he must have been so very afraid.
We are lost and incomplete without him, and our family will never be the same, but we console ourselves with the fact that nothing can hurt him now, he is free of pain, and for that we must try and find comfort, goodness knows how..
Any donations are as stated, but we would also like kings to benefit, lion ward became our second home, the nurses become like family, not only looking after Michael, but making sure we ate sometimes, and often giving us shoulders to cry on, they are all amazing, as is the surgeon and his whole team they fought hard to heal our boy..
thank you for all the support..David, Carole,Rebecca and Hannah xxx

After we have celebrated Michael's life, we will be holding a gathering for close family.
Please do not be offended if you are not invited and we thank you for your understanding at this most difficult time.

Just sitting here and missing you as ever, this grief journey doesn't get any better, and I will never get used to losing you. Your siblings got very drunk Friday, something you never experienced, but there are so many things you should have experienced. I find it so unfair still, and the jealousy I can sometimes feel, it's ridiculous, but it's a emotion I hide well, I think . If anyone ever asks how many children I have I always reply 4, 2 yiu can see and 2 you cannot. I love and miss you forever. Mum x

Miss you so much, yet another Christmas rolls round without you, its not getting any easier to cope with. I will always long for you, wonder what would have been. I was denied so much, as was you and thats not fair. I know I lost you when that evil demon took hold of you, but I still had hope. Now I hold memories dear. I love you always and forever ❤️ happy heavenly Christmas Michael. 🎄

So, today I did out my room a little, put some of your clothes in charity bags. It doesn't get easier and anyone who says it does, is lucky not to have walked this road. I will be 50 soon, another birthday without you, its so wrong,in simple language, I miss you so much. I cry lately at the very thought of you. I will always love you, and really hope you know that. I am incomplete without you. I carry on of course, Alex and becca and dave don't deserve to go through more pain.
Love you forever. Mum x

Another march comes around, and the hurt never lessens. Today is 6 years since I was waiting for the ambulance to take us to another hospital to have your radiotherapy, which was not to be. I miss you so much, everyone is carrying on, all your friends reaching milestones as you should be. I never knew a pain could grow so much, I long for you to come back 💔, sometimes it feels surreal 💔 love you. Forever .mum x ❤️

Another Christmas without you, it never gets any easier. Soon it will be new year and I feel you slipping further away from me. I find some days so hard. I am lucky to have your wonderful siblings and your dad, they understand. I never have to explain myself to them. I feel so cheated still 😞, I see all your friends growing up and you are stuck at 13.. love you always, miss you forever.. mum x
