(LOVING SON OF DAVID AND SAMANTHA LOVING BROTHER OF NANCY AND ARTHUR)(Tory Leader David Cameron's
Son Has Died)Condolences have been paid to Tory leader David Cameron following the death of his
six-year-old disabled son Ivan.
Ivan, who suffered from cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy, was taken ill overnight and died at St
Mary's Hospital, Paddington, early this morning, a Tory party spokesman announced.
Ivan, who featured in a family Christmas card sent by the Camerons last year, was their first child
and was in and out of hospitals all of his life.
He was born at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London on April 8, 2002. On learning of his son's
illness, Mr Cameron has said in the past: "It hits you like a freight train because all the
expectations you have for your child change immediately.Mr Cameron and his wife Samantha have two
other children, Nancy, five, and Arthur, three.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown led condolences following the death, saying the loss of a child was
something "no parent should have to bear".
The Queen has sent a private message of sympathy to the Camerons, and in the House of Commons, the
Prime Minister, whose own baby daughter died in 2002, expressed his condolences.
ow that the whole House will want to express our sorrow at the sad death this morning of Ivan
Cameron, at the age of just six years old and our condolences go out to David Cameron, to Samantha
and to the Cameron family," he said.
"I know that in his all-too-brief young life, he brought joy to all those around him, and I know
also that for all the days of his life, he was surrounded by his family's love.
"Every child is precious and irreplaceable.
"And the death of a child is an unbearable sorrow that no parent should ever have to endure.
"Politics can sometimes divide us, but there is a common human bond that unites us in sympathy and
compassion in times of trial, and in support for each other, at times of grief."
The Prime Minister has also written to the Camerons.
William Hague, shadow foreign secretary, said: "I want to thank the Prime Minister on, behalf of
David and his family, for his very generous and, I know, heartfelt words and for his private
condolences that he has passed on this morning.
"The Prime Minister will understand the dimensions of this loss, something which no parent, as he
has said, should have to endure.
"The six years of Ivan Cameron's life were not easy, his parents lived with the knowledge that he
could die young, but this has made their loss no less heartbreaking.
"They also wanted me to say once again how hugely grateful they are to the many many NHS and care
workers who not only did their utmost for their son this morning, but have helped him, every day,
from the moment he was born."
Acting Lib Dem leader Vince Cable said to MPs: "On behalf of my party leader, my parliamentary
colleagues and my party, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the David Cameron family.
"I think that everyone in the house has experienced bereavement, but there is something especially
sad and shocking about the loss of a child and we recognise, I think, that this is something that is
especially difficult to cope with."
Mr Cameron will take up to a fortnight off work. Mr Hague will stand in for him as Tory leader.
Professor Stephen Smith from St Mary's Hospital confirmed Ivan died at 6:30am.
"He suffered from a severe, complex neurological disability and was taken in overnight," he said.
"He has been a patient at this hospital for some time, and is well known to members of staff.
"Our deepest sympathies are with David, Samantha and their family at the saddest of times."
Sky's political correspondent Joey Jones said: "It has been well known that Ivan has been extremely
ill for most of his life but this will come as a devastating shock for David Cameron and his
family.
"I think that everyone across the political spectrum will share in the sadness of this news."
Sky's health correspondent Thomas Moore said: "Cerebral palsy in itself is not a degenerative
condition, you do not die of cerebral palsy.
"There may have been other factors like epilepsy that may have caused his death."
Mr Cameron is a vice president at the National Centre for Young People with Epilepsy (NCYPE).
NCYPE chief executive David Ford said: "We are very saddened to hear this news.
"We express our deepest sympathy to David and Samantha Cameron and their family."
Ivan was the Camerons' first child, born at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London on April 8, 2002.
He suffered his first seizure within weeks and was in and out of hospitals all of his life.
On learning of his son's illness, Mr Cameron has said in the past: "It hits you like a freight train
because all the expectations you have for your child change immediately."
They have two other children, Nancy, five, and Arthur, three.
Friends have previously attributed Mr Cameron's "modernising" leadership of the Conservatives to the
NHS care Ivan received.
"I know that in his all-too-brief young life, he brought joy to all those around him, and I know
also that for all the days of his life, he was surrounded by his family's love.
"Every child is precious and irreplaceable.
"And the death of a child is an unbearable sorrow that no parent should ever have to endure.

The tiny bunny
Is working all day long
Decorating Easter eggs
While humming a song
He is having so much fun
Making eggs for you and me
And small chocolate bunnies
That he gives away free
But when he is finished
He'll bring them your way
In a big coloured basket
Upon Easter day
Have a lovely Easter weekend Angelxxx
HAPPY EASTER XXX
SKY BUNNIES

The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For angels to find with delight.
Because angels like Easter as well, you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In meadows in the sky.

MEMORY LANE X ♥ X ♥ X ♥ X ♥ X
Memory Lane
There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane.
Sending love to you all xx
HAPPY EASTER
