Millie said...

Immie,

riding the rainbow of love all the way to Heaven, beautiful girl, I am thankful that now you are at peace and I know your lovely family will miss your gorgeous smile and loves and kisses.

Sending my heartfelt thanks to the Holmes Gang for allowing us all to be part of Imogen's life and to Imogen for teaching me to stop and smell the roses, never be too busy to stop what I'm doing and be with my children and all about courage and facing adversity with spirit and positive thinking.

If only I had known what was to come

I would have clung to those moments, drawn them out to last for all eternity.

In the end it was probably lucky I hadn't.,

How can any of us bear to know what is to come?


My Heart is breaking for you Fiona, Jason, Kody and Ashton - Imogen will be with you always in every smile, every laugh, every swim in the pool and every beautiful flower bobbing in the breeze.

Sending big hugs and lots of love
Millie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have Immie's photograpgh/fridge magnet/personal message that she posted me down from my fridge door - where I smiled at her and wished her well each day. I have been sitting here quietly crying, not quite knowing what to say, normally chatty Kimmie for once has no words...only tears~!

Fi, Jason, Kody, Ashton, we are so, so sorry for your great loss.


Much love

Fly free beautiful girl. May you watch over your family for eternity, with no pain and suffering.

To the Holmes family, wishing you all gentle days. Your little girl has inspired so many people and touched the hearts of complete strangers. Her determination must definately be something instilled with her from such a loving, caring family. I will hold my babies here with me extra tight today and ask my angel boy in heaven too to make sure he shows Imogen where all the best toys are kept xoxoxox

Fi & Jason,

Our hearts are broken for you guys, little Imogen fought so well and for so long.

We are grateful that she is free from pain and her spirit is no longer tied to her sick body, but we will all miss her until our own time comes, when we are reunited.

Take care and thank you for allowing us to share in the life of your beautiful girl.

To the Holmes Gang we extend our heartfelt condolences for your loss. The memory of darling "Trek Princess Immie" will live on in the hearts and the actions of Trekkers for years to come.

It seemed that it only took us a minute to find her, an hour to know and appreciate her and just one day to love her, but for a lifetime we will never forget her.

My heart aches with you. May you find a sense of peace & love in this most difficult time.

Big hugs to the Holmes gang from SueP from SS. My children are looking out for an angel in denim shorts & a Ben10 tshirt.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

In memory of beautiful Immie, I have just loaned money to a man in Uganda (through Kiva) who has 8 children to support.

From what I have read of Immie she loved kids & wanted others to be happy, so angel Immie's love can help sustain other children as I reloan this money over and over again to help poor parents earn a living to support their children.

Gooddbye dear Immie. Today I am heartbroken and lost, but I know you are now in peace. The memories you leave behind will help us all remember you with a special love and admiration. My love to Fiona, Jason, Kody, Ashton, Julia, Olivia and families.

I am sending huge love, support and hugs to you all - what an incredibly beautiful and emotional journey you have been on, and it has truly been an honour to travel with you.

I think every one of us hoped that this day would never come - that this journey would have a happy ending. But now, Immie doesn't have to fight anymore, and can finally have peace and be free of pain. Heartbreaking as it is, we can take comfort in that.

Love and hugs to you all - and extra-precious beautiful wings to Heaven's bravest new angel, Immie.

I am so very sorry and upset for you all, to read that our beautiful, courageous, gorgeous Immie has now become an Angel in heaven. The most precious Angel she is, who will always hold a special place within my heart, for the gorgeous girl that she was, and all that she endured. It's time to rest now, sweetie pie. I will look into the sunset and always remember you, with great fondness. Beautiful Imogen xxx

My love, prayers, comfort and friendship will always be with you, Fiona, Jason, Kody and Ashton.

Dearest Imogen,

Heaven ..... I wonder what it's like?

I can only imagine wonderful things about it - all of your favourite food, as many toys as you can play with, getting to wear Ben 10 clothes and playing with SO many Angels!!

Best of all, it's a place where there is NO pain!

It must be pretty awesome up there right now!

For those of us left here on Earth, we feel pain at your passing. Not the pain that you have had to endure, but pain in our hearts, which are broken :-(

Sweet Immie, will will miss you.

We love you and your family so much

Dear Fiona,

I have tried to write this message a few times today, but have been lost for words.. Everything I thought to write seemed terribly inadequate to express how I am feeling for you. You have lived every parent's worst nightmare, and I am so, so sorry this had to happen to your beautiful little girl. As you wrote today, "Heartbroken Peace"; you are heartbroken, we are heartbroken for you, and dear, sweet Imogen is now at blessed peace. I hope and pray that you'll feel the love, strength, and support of those around you during the difficult days and weeks to come, hon; please know that my thoughts - and those of many - are with you. xxxxoooo

Such a brave soul will surely be welcomed with loving arms into Paradise. My love and thoughts are with you all as you gently turn this page in your Book of Life. In time, with your incredible strength and outlook on life, you will be able to enjoy happiness again - and Immie will be smiling too.

Dear Holmes Family

We knew it was coming, but it is still a terrible wrench to lose someone so special. It is, as you say, a bittersweet moment. Immie is now at peace, but her loving family is suffering. There is no reason - it just sucks that this happens. Take care of each other and know that you did everything you possibly could for Immie. She had the love of all her family and friends willing her to be free after such a brave fight.

Josh and all the other angels will be waiting to play - Ben 10 was Josh's favourite, too.

Love

I am so very sorry to hear about you losing your precious Immie. My heart aches for you all. She seemed like such an amazing little girl who has touched so many people.. Including mine, even though I wasn't lucky enough to have met her. It has taught me to stop and just be with my kids and hold them that bit tighter. Her beautiful smile just radiates from the pictures you have posted. Now she doesn't have to fight anymore, and I am sure she is the most beautiful angel up there right now.. Our thoughts are with you. Much love and hugs to you all. Love Mel, Clint, Indiana + Lucas xxxxxxxx
