Charlotte Elizabeth Amelia Baines was the beloved daughter of Michael and Jeannette Baines, but she left us to be an angel in the early hours of 19th May 2007. She was just 10 years old and was a year 6 pupil at Bleak Hill Junior School, St. Helens.
Charlotte had been ill for nearly 2 years, having been diagnosed with a brain tumor in August 2005. It started off by causing a slight tremor in her right hand, but gradually spread to her whole right side. She had chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments throughout 2006 and, for a while, it looked like she was making a good recovery, to the extent we were able to take her to Florida. We'd had to cancel in 2005 because of her illness. She swam with the dolphins and visited all the theme parks and had a great time.
But, tragically, in November she suffered a seizure and we found the tumor had started growing again and was spreading rapidly. Nothing could be done to prevent it.
Her mum and Dad have been by her side constantly for the last 7 months as she got weaker and weaker.
