Louise Amanda Jane Humphreys - Online Memorial Website

Born in United Kingdom Birmingham on April 4, 1975.

Could you be the most beautiful girl in the world?

Plain to see your the reason that god made a girl!

Here she is centre stage only 3 months old, picture taken July 4th,1975, dont look at how chubby I was OK!  One things for sure shes as beautiful here as the day she returned to Spirit, beautiful brown eyed girl. 

Louise was born to Jacqueline Humphreys (nee Bowen) on the 3rd April 1975.  One of Six, Louise was the second girl, with four brothers and one sister.  Louise also has a Stepsister Georgie who had the pleasure of knowing her towards the end of her life.  This photo was taken around 1978 at my Nanny Shirleys

Her brothers and Sisters are twins, Peter and Paul, Big Sister Michelle, Little brothers David and Andrew and Little Step Sister Georgie. Louise was a beautiful baby but even then her strong personality shone through.  I vaguely remember Mum called her a mardy arse most of the time lol.  She was also a sunny child with a beautiful smile and rosy cheeks.  She was funny and outgoing and used to say to my mum "I'm not your friend now," If she couldn't get her own way.  I will never forget the time when we got on a bus and a lady wanted to sit next to us who Lou didn't like the look of. She said to Mum, "quick Mum, make yourself fat so there will be no space" and this is the kind of silly sense of humour Lou had. This photograph is of the five of us and was taken at Drayton manor Park and Zoo, for some reason Lou is hiding on the end but she was never normally camera shy lol.

Lou grew up with the eldest five children and Mum in Clements Road, Yardley, She attended Blakesley Hall School and her friends may be surprised to know that our little Dancing Queen was actually a Tomboy until she was about fifteen!  Of course I had the role of being the older protective sister even though I was smaller than she was! and she made me play my role to the full by telling her friends (most of them bigger than me) that I was going to come and beat them up for her! Fortunatley I only had to "go and get someone" once for her lol.  Only problem is she probably chose the widest girl in school for me to fight for her lol.

Passed away on July 27, 2006 at the age of 31.

As I look around the room, I see the faces of the people who loved Louise the most, she made us laugh, she made us love and sometimes she even made us cry, all she ever needed in life was to be loved and to be popular and to be wanted, and each and every one of us are testament to the fact that she was and still is.  The same passionate heart that loved us, her family and her children and her friends, is the same passionate heart that looks over each and every one of us now and her spirit lives on, Louise will never die because she was one of life’s angels, one of the people that for whatever reason we will never forget. One of the souls that is so much larger than life in every way, and for that, we shall never forget her, even in death she continues to be a very strong and whole part of us all.

We didn’t always get on, we didn’t always agree, I guess many in this room can say that because Lou was such a strong and heady character but that never cut the bonds of love she shared for her family and her friends, we all made mistakes, but at the end of the day we always stood strong together through everything and I'm sorry that we weren’t able to stand holding her in her final hours, if I could change the hands of time I would be with her throughout, cuddling her in her very last moments, protecting her and loving her and being there throughout whatever she faces next.  They say our times are mapped and I don’t know maybe Louise had learnt all she needed to know and don’t they also say that only the good die young.  Despite her faults Louise was a shining star in a world of darkness, she lit up every room she walked into and for a girl filled with so much pain, all we remember now is the beauty and the laughter, my sister, the other half of my soul who will leave a void in my heart that will never be filled, taken from us, but she will live on in our memories, so young and beautiful, she will never age and I’m sure shell delight in the fact that I will lol, but the memory we hold will be the fun loving Louise, the sweet little girl who could be such a pain at times and needed so much work and attention, but we all loved her because you couldn’t help but love her.  This is for you sweetheart.

Take a yellow buttercup and hold it to your chin

fill your hearts with the love, that Louise held deep within

feel how much she loved us all and showed it all deep down

and the tears and sadness she held so tight behind every frown

Feel the times she called out loud to be held so very tight

and all the times she needed us to be close to her at night

feel that now she’s free of pain and looking down on us all

and that she realises from afar that this was her final curtain call

Remember the little dancing queen who was happy to party away

Feel the little girl who lived and loved so much if only for today

Feel the person whose vibrancy filled the air with happy times

Feel the love of my sister sweet, who had one of those special smiles

she knows that she was loved, and needed by all she calls her own

and even if she didn’t show it, all our love she would have known

she was just one of life’s true angels, living out others pain

and yet from afar she knows that soon we will all meet again

If i had to compare my sister, to a magnificent soul of beauty kind

Id compare her wings to butterflies, so rare and beautiful to find

so scared to branch out to another world and fragile to the touch

and unaware of her beauty that touched others lives so much

so sweet sister of mine , wait for me there, and I will be with you soon

and your children we will protect with love from the earth planes, to the moon

until one day we all meet again and we can hug you just like before

in our heart you’ll always have a  special place, well love you for evermore

We don’t know the reasons why you where taken and we cannot rationalise

All we know is the beauty you held within in those deep soulful brown eyes

And we know at least that you were taken so young, so you can live again

In the kingdom of love and spirit, where one day we will meet again xx

Take care my darling until I am there with you xxxx

My sister was a woman of passion and one who loved to the ends of the earth, her only downfall was that she gave so much and in her own mind received so little,  I hope that she is looking down on all of us who matter and she’s realising that every single one of us loved her deeply and always will, rest in peace Louise and watch over us all, now you sleep with the children you never knew on earth, and rest assured that we will do everything to bring love to the lives of the children you left behind. Take Care Dougall my little princess, I would give anything to have you shout at me now, but somehow I think we all truly believe this is not the end. One request we would make as a family, this is not a time to cry for Louise’s life, this is not a time to regret all of the things we could have or should have done, this is a time to give Louise her last final farewell and in her own spirit we would ask that you all join us in the last final farewell party, as she would have wanted let us all go and celebrate what Louise loved the most, dancing, singing, drinking and being happy.

We will always love you Louise and if we have to say goodbye now, then let us do it in the way you would have wanted.  Bless you sweet sister.
