Iona was born on the 26th of June 1998 to my husband Paul and I. She lived with us and her little
brother Eoin who was born in July 1992 and who she called Spuddy Boy. She died on 27th February
2007 at the Sick Kids Hospital, Edinburgh, aged 8 years old. Iona had Neuroblastoma and had fought
bravely against this cancer for 2 years. She never complained or asked why she had got it and
looked forward to her many visits to the Sick Kids to see the many friends she had made on the ward.
Iona was an inspiration to everybody who met her and would still attend school even when she had
had chemo and was feeling rubbish. Iona was my best friend and loved going shopping to get bright
bags, shoes and clothes. We all miss her so much with her huge smile and infectious laugh. At least
now she is in no more pain and is not having to take any more horrible medicine. The brightest star
in the sky.

Eoin started P2 today you would have been going into P6. When I asked him what sort of day he had he said it was fine the total opposite to you you would have been full of what you had done. Keep sending us your special messages they mean so much. Sending you big hugs and kisses and hope you are behaving and looking after everyone. Love you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hiya darling,
Did the race for life yesterday in memory of you. Really hard day wish you could have been there. Missing you loads.
Love you

Hiya darling,
Eoin was asking for you yesterday he wondered what you were doing up in heaven. Daddy said he thought you would be colouring in and i said i wondered if you had been at school. He was quite happy at that. We really miss you and hope you are behaving and looking after all your friends with you.
Lots of big hugs and kisses

Hi Miss Iona!
We all miss you so very much, Alexandra speaks every day about her best friend, I think you always will be, no-one else can play and sing and dance and most of all laugh, the way you two could! Boy, were you noisy! We all miss that so, so much, especially Alexandra. We all think of you each night when Alexandra is saying night night to you and we know you are listening. Our love is always with you Iona and you are missed more each day. One in a million.
Much love, Vikki, Keith, Lewis and Alexandra.

My Heart goes out to you both.

When you think your road is rocky and a bit too steep to climb,
When you think your guardian angel needs to work some overtime,
When your personal jigsaw puzzle has some pieces that won't fit,
When life has no rhyme or reason and you can't make sense of it,
YOU NEED A RAINBOW When the clouds are dark and stormy
And have blocked the sunshine out, And perhaps you start to wonder
What this life is all about, When your trials and tribulations seem to be so hard to bear,
And it seems there is no justice anytime or anywhere, LOOK FOR YOUR RAINBOW
When the molehills seem like mountains and the obstacles are great,
When you feel so heavy laden and your worries just inflate,
When you can't see any ending to the problems that you face,
For they just keep on increasing and you need some breathing space,
PRAY FOR YOUR RAINBOW It may be you need to look a little higher than before,
Or perhaps a little further to see past the clouds once more.
But you'll know it's worth the effort when your rainbow you can see,
And you understand the love behind God's creativity,
SEARCH FOR YOUR RAINBOW
For your rainbow holds a promise that this turbulence will cease,
And your inner conflict will become, instead, deep inner peace.
But if, though searching, you can't find your rainbow at this time,
Until you can, I say with love, you're welcome to share mine
From all the Borthwick Family
Hi Iona, make sure you have lots of fun today, and i hope that you've met Ava - she also had Neuroblastoma and passed away in April 2007 aged 3. Rest in peace Iona honey xxx
