TRAGIC OVERDOSE GIRL'S TEXT MESSAGE FAREWELL

A TEENAGE girl who took 40 painkillers after an argument with her boyfriend wrote a final mobile phone text-message before she died.

Toni Armstrong, 17, was found dead in bed at her home in Bailey Street, Ulverston, after taking prescription drugs belonging to grandmother Jean Johnson. She lay undiscovered for a day.

Next to her body police found a mobile on which she had typed: “Happy days, happy days, that is where I am off to. I deserve better. You have been a total bastard to me. This is my life over.”

Police told the Barrow Town Hall inquest the message had not been sent and it was not known who it was destined for.

Mystery shrouds girl’s death in bed
MYSTERY surrounds the death of 17-year-old Ulverston girl Toni Armstrong who was found dead in bed at her grandparents’ house on Monday morning.
A post mortem examination proved inconclusive and police said the death was being treated as suspicious.
Samples have been sent to the North West Forensic Science Laboratory at Chorley to try to establish a cause of death.
The results are expected within two weeks.
Miss Armstrong, of Bailey Street, was a former pupil at Ulverston Victoria High School.
An inquest into the death is to be opened by Furness coroner Ian Smith within the next few days.

Death may remain a mystery
THE sudden death of a teenage girl in Ulverston may remain a mystery, an inquest heard.
Furness coroner Ian Smith told the family of Toni Lorraine Armstrong that they may never find out what caused her death.
The 17-year-old was found dead in bed on Monday, July 7, by her grandmother and legal guardian, Jean Johnson, at the home they shared in Bailey Street.
At the opening of Miss Armstrong’s inquest on Friday, Mrs Johnson asked the coroner what was being done to find out why her granddaughter had died.
Mr Smith explained that samples, including blood, had been taken from Miss Armstrong’s body and were being examined by scientists at the Forensic Science Labatory, at Chorley.
A post mortem examination carried out at Furness General Hospital last week proved inconclusive.
Mr Smith said: “In about 80 to 90 per cent of cases like this the tests do give us an answer, but sometimes they don’t. If they don’t it will cause us some problems and we may never know why Toni died.” Mrs Johnson said: “We need an answer, we need to know what happened to her.” Mrs Johnson told the inquest Miss Armstrong had had jobs cleaning caravans and serving food.
This week tributes were paid to Miss Armstrong by her former head of year teacher at Ulverston Victoria High School, Chris Reid. He said she left the sixth form at the school at Christmas to pursue a career in the Army.
Mr Reid said he had been Miss Armstrong’s year of head teacher for the five-and-a-half years she was at the school.
“She was a lovely girl, always smiling and always happy. She was very popular and last week when the other students found out they were just numb. It is such a tragedy,” he said.
Mr Reid said Miss Armstrong had been a dedicated athlete and two years ago this week had been named as the champion athlete for year ten.
“She was a sprinter and long jumper and was very dedicated.
“I believe she didn’t pass her basic fitness test for the Army because of a hip or back injury. I think she was just doing a few part-time jobs until she found out what she wanted to do with her life.”

(SPECIAL SONG FROM HER FRIEND)

TONI’S SONG
By Ben Dainton

Don’t know whether to be upset or think of the good times
And I didn’t even get the chance to say a proper goodbye
It’s strange how when you most wanna see someone you can’t
And the truth is I’ll never be able to say how special you are
You’ll never see the sadness, this song is just a taste of mine
And losing you is the worst thing, it’s such a waste of life
At least close ones know that they’ll once again be near
Life’s hard, but felt kinda easier when you were here
I stare to a photo of your smiling face, life was in this once…
And all of life’s other problems pale into insignificance
You’re still alive in our thoughts and one day we’ll see this
As you sit up there watching, you know that you’ll be missed
Upset is nowhere close to describing the people that know you
And although this is the end for now, I’m glad that I got to know you
This is my awkward feelings put into writing I’m trying to get through
You’ll always be precious…and I know that I’ll never forget you

The type of thing that you only think happens in the news
The typa thing you don’t think will happen to someone you knew
The type of thing that leaves your whole mind and emotions shattered
And if there really was a God…why would he let this happen?
I’m going to college and you’ll be there…or so it seems
I still think that there’s a way to wake up from this horrible dream
And I know that my tears will not help you come back to life
But that doesn’t wanna stop me thinking and having to cry
Maybe somewhere special, a better place is waiting for you
And I just hope you know how much people appreciated you
You were confident, all grown up, but also youthful
You were clever, kind, thoughtful and beautiful
You had everything going for you so why does it have to end?
This isn’t a farewell it’s a celebration of life that I send
Miss your laugh, our chats and it makes me wonder why?
But we’ve got to see this more as a celebration of life

Remember all the things that now you’ll never say
But know that our loss, hard as it is, is heavens gain
You know you made people happy…there’s no question
But I hope you know you made a lasting impression
On everyone you met, you were never one to forget
And I hope that you lived your life with no regrets
At this sad time, cherished ones’ loss could not be greater
But this isn’t a goodbye it’s sort of a ‘seeya later’
Sometimes you jus gotta step back and stare into space
And sometimes when I’m alone I think I see your face
Tryna release my emotions, trapped up inside through this poem
And I guess we could call our tragedy an angel returning home

She will be sadly missed by all that knew her
but up in heaven she will be looking down on
all of her friends.

GODBLESS TONI LOVE KIMBERLEY'S FAMILY XX

CHRISTINA AGUILERA LYRICS

Beautiful

[Spoken]
Don't look at me

Every day, is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe,
Now and then I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no,
So don't you bring me down today,

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no,
So don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay

And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
On the other side

Cos' we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no,
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh no,
So don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
