This memorial has been set up in dedication to a family of six who were all killed in a crash on the
M6 in Cheshire.
Ten-week-old Elouise Statham and her 20-month-old brother Mason were killed with their brothers
Reece, 13, and Jay, nine, and their parents David, 38, and Michelle, 33.
Cheshire Police said that, because of the nature of the accident, the bodies could not be formally
identified but next of kin named the family as the Stathams.
The family, from Llandudno, North Wales, were returning home from visiting relatives in the West
Midlands when the crash happened between junctions 16 and 17 of the M6 at around 10.40pm last night.
The crash, which happened near Sandbach, involved two cars and three heavy goods vehicles, police
said.
This devestating tragedy really made me cry, so many beautiful people, how could something like this happen when they had so much to live for.
David and Michelle and your four beautiful angels Reece Jay Mason and Ellouise all in the arms of the Angels, Rest in Peace.
My little boy is as old as little Mason, I go home now from work now and no matter how tired I am, I play with him and tell him how much I love him.
To the family of David and Michelle, you were lucky to have had these people in your lives
God Bless you all.

Davids Birthday 26.10.2008
Today David would have been 38 years young!
Nearly a week has passed since he and his beautiful family were tragically removed from this world,and like many i still have not taken in the unbelievable truth,
As young boys David and i spent plenty of time together,playing football on the little green,i can also remember us play fighting a lot on the lounge floor at 107 Gibbons Road encourage by Alan his father and Grandad,(usually one of us would end up in tears)
Alan also took us both swimming most Sunday mornings which was great fun.
As we grew up David and i lived our separate lives and only occasionally would we catch up,(usually family does) telling tales of what we had been up to,it always seemed as though we were the rogues of the family, but never causing anyone any harm but just doing what we believed in.
Nearly 12 months have passed since i last sore David and that was the day after his fathers funeral,when we both went to watch the Villa just to get away from all the madness.
David was a very jolly bloke always laughing,quietly spoken and well mannered.
David loved Michelle and there lovely children what a sad time I just hope you are all together and have met up with your Dad and Grandad.
I cannot imagine the pain that Angela (mother) Irene (sister)and family are feeling today.
My thoughts also go out to Michelle's Parents.
RIP David,Michelle,Ellouise,Reece,Mason,Jay,
I was lucky enough to know Shell through school and when she first got together with David (Taff). She wrote on all our books Shell and Taff forever. Shell made our school life fun, exciting and she showed me true friendship as soon as I met her.
Shell, David and your beautiful children, I’m so glad you all shared a life of true happiness together before you were gone. I promise to always remember you Shell. Thank you for your friendship to me, you were always loyal, strong, caring and honest and thank you for all the laughter we shared. Rest in peace with those you cared about the most and watch over those you’ve left behind with every tear that’s cried and smile that’s raised as they remember the joy you all brought into their lives.
So sad you’ve all gone, forever in my memories

I just don't really know what to say, it's just so tragic i just can't believe it. I cried when you left and moved to Wales but we never forgot you and you never forgot us either, the best mates and neighbours you could ever have. You still popped in to see us, I can't believe you finally got your little girl to join your beautiful boys, to be taken away like this, i wish i could have got to meet Ellouise.
The only thing i can think is thank god you're all together at peace. We had some fun times and i will never forget you and my kids are devastated at the loss of two good friends in Reece and Jay. I just can't stop crying now it's so unfair.
My thoughts are with all the family. I don't know how you cope. We all miss you Michelle and Dave and all your little angels, sleep tight.
Love Sharon, Darren, Natalie, Charlie, Alex, Danni + Jake. X
A rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...
One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side
Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.
A Sad Loss of a lovely family
A very sad loss of a lovely family. Friendly smile and often a wave as we passed to school and back. Words cannot describe how very sad it is.
Our children had the pleasure of knowing your boys and being friends - for that they are thankful - and now very sorrowful.
Our prayers and thoughts are with your families now.
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
