Rescue workers searching for a 10-year-old girl who disappeared in the sea off an Essex beach found
a body in the water today close to the spot where she was last seen 24 hours earlier.

Stella Akanbi, from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, had been playing with a friend in the sea at
Clacton on Sunday afternoon when they got into difficulties.
A man and his 12-year-old son tried in vain to save the girl when she began to struggle in depths of
10 ft and she let go.

An onlooker swam into the sea and pulled one of the girls ashore using a small inflatable dinghy,
but he could not find Stella. This afternoon, a police helicopter crew spotted a body floating in
the water close to where she had been swimming and it was recovered by an RNLI lifeboat at around
3.45pm.
Stella, a talented runner from Milton Keynes, had gone to the seaside with a ten-year-old friend and
that girl's parents

♥ TIME WILL EASE THE HURT ♥
♥ by Bruce B. Wilmer ♥

♥ The sadness of the present days ♥
♥ Is locked and set in time, ♥
♥ And meaning to the future ♥
♥ Is a slow and painful climb. ♥
♥ But all the feelings that are now ♥
♥ So vivid and so real ♥
♥ Can't hold their fresh intensity ♥
♥ As time begins to heal. ♥
♥ No wound so deep will ever go ♥
♥ Entirely away; ♥
♥ Yet every hurt becomes ♥
♥ A little less from day to day. ♥
♥ Nothing can erase the painful ♥
♥ Imprints on your mind; ♥
♥ But there are softer memories ♥
♥ That time will let you find. ♥
♥ Though your heart won't let the sadness ♥
♥ Simply slide away, ♥
♥ The echoes will diminish ♥
♥ Even though the memories stay. ♥

All My Love Anne xx

♥ღ♥ GOD ONLY TAKES THE BEST ♥ღ♥ Gods loving arms enfolded you
with tender loving care,
He saw that you were suffering
as you laid in silence there,
He said the time has come
for you to take a rest,
He held you in his arms and said,
I ONLY TAKE THE BEST ♥ღ♥ GOD BLESS YOU LOVE ANNE xx

Gone Too Soon

G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,

T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,

S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,

Gone too soon but remembered every single day

A candle to remember may it burn so bright
as we look to the heavens on this very night
beyond the stars our dear mam
soars enbraced by her savior
on heavens shores

As the angles protect her and sing
her sweet name we honor her
life without the glow of this flame
so we light this candle of our mam
tonight as a symbol of our love
and her eternal life

Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

R.I.P stella. So cruelly taken by the sea, but heaven has gained a very precious angel.
My prayers are with your family and friends, and all who knew you.
