LAURA ROSE BOWER MCKNIGHT 22/O6/1985-31/08/2007
Laura was an exceptional young woman and I was so very proud of her. I didn't agree with Beauty Competitions for young girls, but we arrived late at Bevercotes Colliery Gala. Laura entered the line-up as the last contender - she won - just four years of age, but a noticeable personality. Together with an accute intelligence and an eye for intricate detail. Laura was elegant, eloquent and so extraordinarily individual that she drew attention wherever she went. Truly dedicated to whatever she took on and loyal to her friends.
Laura gained a place at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama to study Violin Performance. In her diary she wrote that by her teens she had played in over one hundred and fifty concerts, mostly in the County of Lincolnshire. She played Violin at Usher Gallery and for Princess Anne during a visit to Robert Pattinson School. Laura was a performer, but had a tiny ego, and admired people with the dedication to achieve technical briliance on Violin.
Most of all Laura was my wonderful daughter - unique, irreplaceable, a much loved sister of Douglas.
The 'star' of our family will never fade; of course we are devastated, but her life was extraordinary and carried great lessons for us all to learn from.
LAURA ROSE WAS WONDERFUL!

Laura Rose died on the 31st of August 2007. She was only 22 years of age.
Laura did many things through her life including attending musical college.
Laura sadly left behind a loving brother, who misses her dearly. She also left behind a loving father, step father and mother. She also left behind a very big loving family, many cousins, many aunties and uncles.
Laura died a tragic death, we all know how she died, so i dont think there is any need to put it.
Laura you were such a loving cousin, we did so many things together, go to the cinema, go to the coast. I remember the time me and your mum came to Cardiff to see you play in the orchestra, i was so proud to see you up there. You were like a big sister to me, i could tell you anything. I remember when we were really little and i stayed over at your house once, and we sat at the top of the stairs and you played with my hair, and you said something that meant so much, i will never ever foget what you said. Laura you will always be in my heart and thoughts, as you will be with everyones.
one year on it is so much harder.

Hello Gentle Laura,
I'm at work listening to the radio and Brahms' Academic Festival Overture is playing. Do you remember it from LYSO? I can practically hear you dancing through the notes. In my mind's eye I can see you sitting at the front, in first chair, frantically bowing and winking michieviously. You're wearing one, spectacular earring--ever stylish, you were never going to let Mr. Harries' rule about "earrings clacking on the violins" determine your fashion!
Three years already. I still can't believe you're gone. We fell out of touch as we both left for separate Universities, but I often thought about how you were doing. I miss you. I promise I'll come visit you when I'm next in Lincoln.
Sleep peacefully x
My sweet memory of a wonderful girl!!!!
This girl was amazing. When I first saw her her shiny face and bubbly character made me fall for her deeply. I spent almost a year with her and we had a great time together. Best time of my life. Times that I still think of. And i miss her more and more. Its been over 3 years now and I still think of her so much and I couldn't believe when Carol rang me to tell me that she is gone. I was planning to visit her and see her and tell her that I still loved her. And I still do. I was young and didn't treat her right at times. Learned her bad habits to which I am guilty of, and I will be till the end of me. Sometimes I think I should go and meet her, but her voice shouts at the back of my head that she will be waiting for me until my time is up.
I feel Laura has forgiven me and would also like to be forgiven by her family.
I wish ti visit her grave when I can be aloud by Carol. I miss her and I cry endlessly when I still think of her.
I love you Laura still and thank you for visiting me sometimes in my dreams.
Your most beloved,
Nik xxx

Hello Loobie, I miss you so. The stars don't sparkle the same without you. Each second is like a minute, each minute like one hour, one hour like a day, each day akin a year and ...

I wish I could have saved you - but it was not to be that way on 31st August,2007. My love for you never fades. Bye bye from mummy xxxx
