Gemma Carter died on 8th June 1999 aged 13 years. Gemma lived with mum Sharon, brother Michael
,cousin Robert and her Nanna. Gemma was on a school trip to France when she tragically drowned.
Gemma was a kind and generous person always laughing and singing round the house. (Bless her,she
couldn't sing a note). 'mum' she would say ' i am going to be Celine Dion on Stars in their Eyes,'
with her constant practising and determination she probarbly would have made it in the end. Gemma
was so like me in many ways, always wanting to please and trying to find the best in everyone who
she met. Gemma wasn't a selfish girl, she wanted to be a vet from being about 6,always watching vet
programmes and knowing that was the path she wanted to go down. Gemma's death has left a massive
void in my family's life, there is never a day goes by when i dont think of her, even if it's not
when I wake, her loss hits me like a knife at some point. I often wonder what she would be doing
now, boyfriend, married, even children. My heart aches for those things you wish for your child, I
saw one of her friends with her boyfriend and it hurt so much my eyes clouded with tears wishing
Gemma had had that chance. Most of all I miss her infectous laugh. She wasn't afraid to laugh out
loud, and when you did, Gemma ,everyone laughed with you. I hope you make them laugh in heaven
darling,I will miss you forever. No matter how I carry on with my life I know a part of me died with
you. I will treasure you my beatiful child till the end. Love you now and always your heartbroken
Mum xxxx P.s I would just like to say that the music playing on this site was the music played at
her funeral of her beloved Peter Andre.
