Mollie Louise Gardner

In loving memory of our beautiful little girl Mollie Louise.

Born 18th November 2003.
Died 18th March 2007 aged 3 years.


Our beautiful little girl Mollie entered the world on Tuesday 18th November 2003. She had the most beautiful big blue eyes you have ever seen and had a mop of beautiful blonde curls. Mollie was a perfect baby. She learned things so quickly and only had to be shown something once before she was having a go herself.

Mollie grew into a lovely little girl. Always laughing and smiling and always watching what other people were getting upto. People used to call her "Little Miss Nosey" but she loved the compliment!!!


Mollie went to a day nursery and loved spending time with her 2 best friends Olivia and Lucy. Each day she would come running out with a painting or a picture and it was always to give to someone as a little gift. Her last picture she made at nursery was for an old lady who goes to our church who is 100 years old!!!!

When Mollie's twin sisters Niamh and Imogen were born, Mollie was in her element. She doted on them and mothered them in her own little way. She always wanted to sit them on her knee and help to feed them and change them.

Mollie loved anything pink, fluffy and girly. She loved playing with dolls and was never seen without a doll or teddy under her arm! Her favourite place of all time was the bear factory in the Trafford Centre, Manchester. Mollie never stopped chatting she was a right little chatter box. She was always singing and humming and was never still. She loved standing on a little stool and doing a dancing and singing show for her family. Mollie was known by so many people as the little Dancing Queen. She loved that song because she knew it was her - and she'd sing it all the way through showing off in her own little way!! She loved an audience. Mollie was such a warm loving little girl. People used to say wherever Mollie was there was love - because she had so much love to give. Whenever Mollie was around, love was around too.

Mollie was a MASSIVE Everton Fan. She loved going to all the games with her Daddy and Grandad. Her favourite players were James Beattie and Leon Osman. She had James on the back of her home shirt and Leon on the back of her away shirt. Somtimes she would even ask why her twin sisters couldn't have been boys so we could have called them James and Leon!!! That's the little funny character she was!


Last week Mollie started to become unwell. She couldn't tell anybody where it hurt she said she "felt poorly everywhere". Hours later Mollie developed a rash and the on-call doctor phoned for an ambulance. Mollie was rushed into hospital where she was diagnosed with the dreaded meningitis. On Sunday 18th March 2007, Mother's Day, Mollie passed away peacefully surrounded by her heart-broken family.


Mollie's funeral took place on Friday 23rd March. The church was packed with hundreds of people all dressed in pink or an Everton shirt to pay their respects to Mollie. Going into church was the z-cars theme tune from Everton and coming out of church played Dancing Queen. Mollie's tiny pink coffin was carried by her Daddy, Grandad, Uncle Nick, Uncle Bri, Uncle James and Godfather Dan. The hymns All things bright and beautiful and How Great thou Art were played during the very moving service. The vicar led a lovely service referring to Mollie as "The dancing queen princess". James Martin a close family friend led tributes to Mollie in church describing her as a tiny little girl with a very big heart. Over 50 floral tributes were received which included her name spelt out in pink roses, Dolls, Teddies, Everton logos, Love hearts, Disney Princess, Abba, Rabbit, Dolls pram... the list goes on. So far £485 has been received in donations for Mollie which will go to her Day Nursery for them to create a memorial garden for her in their play area. A private burial then took place for close family and friends to say their final goodbye's to The Dancing Queen Princess!

The family would like to thank everyone who attended the service. Thanks also for your kind messages, letters and cards of support. Thank you for your floral tributes and donations. Special thanks to Lynette who has been our rock and thanks to Rachael who took very good care of Niamh and Imogen for the burial service. May God Bless you all.
