My Story

1992 to 2007
aged: 14
From: Cheshunt

Aimee-Louise Bates
20.10.1992 - to - 16.05.2007
Aged 14

Aimee had two elder sisters, one (Kerry) passed before she was born and the other (April) had 14 wonderful years with her. She loved her mum and dad so much, they were and still are her everything.

she passed very suddenly, she went to the doctors on Monday with a sore throat and swollen glands, the doctor diagnosed her with tonsilitus.
the next day (Tuesday) she was off school... but later on in the evening she was showing signs of getting better.
Then about half nine Tuesday night she was in alot of pain and not in a good way at all, she was rushed to hospital and the doctors diagnosed her with glandula fever and 3 hours later she had passed.
She was the one and only person ever to pass from glandula fever, so rare, but that doesnt make it any easier in the slightest.

Aimee was an amazing girl, loyal, trustworthy, beautiful in every respect, she was just perfect.
She could never put a foot wrong she always put everyone before herself, she loved her family and friends more than anything in the world, they meant everything to her.
She was such a happy girl, always had a smile on her face, always there for whoever needed her, just so amazing its hard to put into words just how amazing she was.
We are all going to miss her so much, she had such an impact on so many people.


Love You Forever and a day
Miss you soo much Ayesy.

Oh Aimee how you made us laugh. You always had a great big smile across your face, and cheered people up when they were down, but that was you, fun loving and caring.
We loved everything about you and still do. At school the times we would be late to lessons and the excuses you would try to get away with. They were so funny! And The little sing songs that were so out of tune. You will be so dearly missed by each and every one of us but never forgotten. We will always love you and you will always be in our thoughts and our hearts forever. We know you are now a shinning star in the sky and you will always be with us. We all miss you so very much
