CLAIRE LOUISE COOPER, BORN 23RD OF APRIL 1983, ST GEORGES DAY AT 8.45 IN THE MORNING, BIRTH WEIGHT
6LB 20Z. AT FAZAKERLEY HOSPITAL LIVERPOOL.
CLAIRE HAS A BROTHER PHILIP COOPER WHO IS 20 M0NTHS YOUNGER THAN HER.
HAVING CLAIRE AND PHILIP CLOSE TOGETHER WAS GOOD, AS THEY WERE NOT ONLY BROTHER AND SISTER , BUT THE
BEST OF MATES.
ONE FOLLOWED THE OTHER WHAT ONE DONE THE OTHER DONE. CLAIRES FRIENDS WERE PHILPS AND VICE VERSA.
CLAIRE IN THE EARLY DAYS SPOKE FOR PHILIP, ANYONE THAT SPOKE TO HER, WHO THEN TRIED TO SPEAK TO
PHILIP, SHE TOOK CONTROL AND ANSWERED ON HIS BEHALF.
I THINK THATS WHY PHILIP WHEN HE REACHED HIS LATE TEENS DECIDED HE WANTED A SAY AND HE GOT LAST
WORD MOST TIMES WITH CLAIRE.
GROWING INTO ADULTS TOGETHER THEY SHARED THE SAME FRIENDS AND DONE MOST THINGS TOGETHER.
CLAIRE WHILST AT SCHOOL BECAME ILL SHE SUFFERED STOMACH PAINS WHICH WERE PERSISTANT BUT SHE ALWAYS
TRIED TO HIDE THIS AND GET ON WITH LIFE WITHOUT COMPLAINT. OUR G.P. ALWAYS PUT IT DOWN TO ADULT
PUBERTY.
TILL CLAIRE CONSTANTLY STARTED HIDING AWAY IN HER ROOM. SHE PREFARED TO SIT IN WITH HER FRIEND
KERRY. SHE WAS ALWAYS DOING THINGS LIKE CATCHING UP ON SCHOOL WORK OR CHANGING HER ROOM ROUND. SHE
WAS SO CLOSE TO ME AND PHILIP WE ALWAYS KNEW SHE WAS SPECIAL IN OUR FAMILY .
IN JANUARY 1998 CLAIRE WAS POORLY YOU COULD SEE HER PAIN ON HER FACE. I CHANGED MY G.P TO A LADY
DOCTOR, Dr WINTERBURN IN TOWERHILL. OUR FIRST VISIT SHOWED CONCERN AND SHE WROTE A LETTER FOR ME TO
TAKE CLAIRE TO ALDERHEY HOSPITAL ON THE MONDAY AS IT WAS FRIDAY. THE SUNDAY CLAIRE WAS FEELING LOW
AND NOT EATTING I TOOK HER TO ALDERHEY WERE SHE WAS ADMITTED FOR TESTS MY FATHER WAS IN FAZAKERLEY
HOSPITAL AT THIS TIME TOO.
HER TEST RESULTS CONFIRMED SHE HAD CHRONS DISEASE . SHE WAS ALLOWED OUT OF HOSPITAL TO GO TO HER
GRANDADS FUNERAL. AFTER THE FUNERAL CLAIRE WAS GIVEN TREATMENT AND PRESCRIBED MEDICATION WHICH SHE
WOULD BE ON FOR LIFE. FROM HOSPITAL BACK AT HOME. CLAIRE WAS DRIP FED FOR 3 MONTHS. SHE INSISTED ON
ATTENDING SCHOOL AS HER EXAMS WERE COMING UP. SHE WAS SO BRAVE GOING TO SCHOOL WITH HER DRIP TUBE
TAPED TO THE SIDE OF HER FACE.
ON LEAVING SCHOOL SHE DONE WELL AT HER EXAMS BETTER THAN EXPECTED AS THE TRAUMA OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR
DID SHOW AN IMPACT ON HER HEALTH AND SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD STRUGGLE TO GET RESULTS SHE NEEDED. WELL
CLAIRE GOT MORE THAN SHE NEEDED SHE COME THROUGH ONCE AGAIN.
CLAIRE ENROLLED AT KIRKBY COLLEGE N.N.E.B COURSE THEY ADVISED A THREE YEAR COURSE AS SHE WOULD FIT
IN NEW THREE YEAR COURSE STARTING THAT SEPTEMBER 1999. CLAIRE HAD ENOUGH QUALIFACATIONS TO START
COURSE ON TWO YEAR ALTHOUGH IT WOULD MEAN HER STARTING WITH A CLASS THAT ALREADY BEGUN TWELVE MONTHS
SOONER.
CLAIRE BEGAN COLLEGE IN 1999 WITH A CLASS THAT HAD BEEN TOGETHER FOR 12 MONTHS. SHE SEEMED NOT TO
FIT IN I SHOWED CONCERN FOR HER, BUT HER PERSONALITY AND HUMOUR SHONE THROUGH AND SHE WAS ACCEPTED.
CLAIRE SPENT THE NEXT 2YEARS AT COLLEGE ENJOYING HER COURSE ALTHOUGH IT WAS HARD WORK AND PLENTY OF
IT. SHE WORN THE CARPET OUT IN HER BEDROOM WITH TWO YEARS OF COMING HOME AND SPENDING SO MUCH TIME
ON HER KNEES DOING ASSIGNMENT WORK FOR COLLEGE. SHE WAS THRILLED WHEN SHE PAST AND GAINED HER
N.N.E.B.
SHE WENT ON TO WORK AT TINY TOTS NURSERY FAZAKERLY SHE LOVED IT
EVERYDAY WAS DIFFERENT FOR HER ,AND SHE HAD MADE NEW FRIENDS, A SPECIAL FRIEND JENNY.
THEN CAME SEAN, MEET THROUGH HER BROTHER, AT THE AGE OF 19, HER FIRST AND ONLY LOVE. HER SON SHAWN
COOPER THOMAS BORN 19/07/2005, CLAIRE WOULD SAY MY SHAWNY WOO! SHAWN WAS 23 MONTHS 2 DAYS WHEN SHE
DIED AT THE AGE OF 24 YEARS 2 MONTHS. SHAWNY WOO GAVE HER SO MUCH HAPPINESS SHE WAS A DEVOTED MUM.
I LOVED SEEING HER FACE WHEN HE WAS SITTING ON HER KNEE, HER FACE WAS LIKE A SUNBEAM SHINING LOVE
INTO HER SON. SHE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE EVEN THROUGH HER PAIN, SHE WAS INDEPENDENT AND DEALT WITH HER
ILLNESS HER WAY SO SHE COULD GO ON THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT TROUBLING AND WORRYING ANYONE. SHE IS NOW
AN ANGEL IN HEAVEN, BUT TO THOUS THAT LOVED HER DEEPLY SHE WAS AN ANGEL ON EARTH.
AS CHRISTMAS GETTING NEARER
THE NEARER CHRISTMAS COMES CLAIRE, THE MORE AND MORE I FEEL YOU SHOULD BE WITH US.
I KNOW THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT I CANNOT HELP WISHING YOU DID NOT HAVE TO LEAVE US.
I HAVE SUCH A VOID IN MY LIFE SINCE YOU HAVE GONE.
SHAWN HELPS ME GET THROUGH THE WEEKS, I LOVE HAVING HIM IN MY LIFE. YOU LEFT A GIFT NO ONE COULD OF GIVE ME, I WISH EVERY DAY YOU WERE WITH US TO SHARE EVERY NEW EXPERIENCE AND ALL THE NEW THINGS SHAWN LEARNS THROUGH PLAY, SCHOOL AND HIS FAMILIES. HE IS A BRIGHT LITTLE BOY YOU WOULD BE SO PROUD OF HIM. HE WRITES HIS NAME, HE KNOWS HOW TO WRITE THROUGH MAKING THE SOUNDS OF THE WORDS. HE CAN WRITE NUMBERS AND HE IS VERY ARTISTIC. HE IS MUCH LIKE YOU AT THE AGE OF 4, HE NEVER SHUTS UP AND LIKES CENTER STAGE. CLAIRE I WAS PROUD OF YOU WHEN YOU GAVE BIRTH TO SHAWN, I WISH HE COULD OF GONE ON THROUGH LIFE WITH YOU AS HIS MUMMY AT HIS SIDE. WATCH OVER HIM AND GUIDE HIM CLAIRE.
LOVE YOU, MISS YOU EVERY SECOND OF MY LIFE.

claire
Loving memories we will never forget
Sadly missed along life's way
With silent thought and deep regret
We think of you every day
No longer in our life to share
But in our hearts your always there.
We remember the happy times we had
and try not to feel so sad
Because you left an impression on everyone that knew you
and made us feel so glad that you had played a part in our lives.
I THINK OF YOU ALWAYS CLAIRE WISHING YOU COULD OF STAYED LONGER. I LOOK AT YOUR SON AND THANK THE LORD I HAVE HIM TO LOOK AT AND THINK ABOUT YOUR MEMORIES WHICH ARE IN MY HEART TO PASS ON TO SHAWN. LIFE WITHOUT YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND MISSING YOU WILL NEVER END, MUM XXXX

Were has the time gone, it only seems yesterday since we lost you, and it must be even worse for your mum. A daughter is very special to their mother, besides being your daughter she is also your best friend, so your mum has lost her daughter and her best friend. No-one who hasn.t experienced such a loss can even imagine how it feels. God works in mysterious ways, and he sent you Shawn for your mum to have something of you now that you are not here. I know I haven.t seen as much of your mum as I usually do, its just circumstances, but I think of both of you every single day, Watch over us Claire and try and help your mum to make a happy life for herself and Shawn in her new home. Luv you xxxx
MY CLAIRE
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY CLAIRE,NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY,
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR ALL THAT YOU DONE,
YOU SHARED YOUR LOVE TO ALL THOUS THAT LOVED YOU,
YOU GIVE SO MUCH TO THOUS THAT KNEW YOU,
YOU WERE SPECIAL IN EVERY WAY,
YOU LOVED TO MAKE US LAUGH,
WE LAUGHED,
WE LOVED YOU,
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

Hi Claire
Well your mum moves into her new home this week, and hopefully this will be a new start for her, nothing or no-one will ever replace her daughter in her heart and she will never get over losing you, I can see it in her face every time I see her, but over time hopefully, she will learn to live with it, it probably won.t get any easier for her, but life has to go on. Life just isn.t the same without your chatty voice around the place when I call to see your mum, and the way you hated being left out of anything that we were doing. Still look at your picture on my book mark when I read my book before I go to sleep, please watch over all of us Claire, especially your mum and Philip and try and make the anguish of losing you a bit easier for them. Love you to bits. Marie xxxx
