To Sharon and Laci If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.... Laci No petal is more beautiful than Laci in white-  no moon outshines her smile. There is no wind  that does not whisper Laci's name. Here is her grace  and laughter: in every blossom of evening star.    with love, from dorothy doyle-mienko Grand Rapids, Michigan   AFTERGLOW   I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when my life is done. RIP Laci and Connor You are always in our hearts!   Author unknown Submitted by Erin Rogers Philadelphia, PA If I Knew If I knew it would be the last time That you would fall asleep, I would say a loving "good night", and pray God your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time That you'd walk out the door, You'd get a special hug and kiss And a big wave from me at the door. If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice on the phone, I'd tape your every single word, And play them back when alone. If I knew it would be the last time, I'd be sure to say "I love you," instead of assuming you would know it. I'd say, "Anything I can do?"  If I knew it would be the last time  You'd be there to share my day, Instead of there being many more -  I wouldn't let this slip away. For there won't always be a tomorrow To make up for a slight, And you may not get a second chance To make things come out right. So just in case I might be wrong, and today is all we get, I'd like to say how much I love you and that I'll never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to any, To the young or old alike, And today may be the last chance To hold your loved ones tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, Go ahead and do it today! For if tomorrow never comes, you'll never regret the day ... That you didn't take that extra time For a smile, a hug, or a kiss, And you were too busy to grant  Their very last wish. So take time to say, "I'm sorry," "Forgive me", "Thank you", "It's okay." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets Rest in Peace Laci and connor - Jillian, 12		TO LACI  PETERSON &   CONNOR I  KNOW  LACI  PETERSON, A  WOMAN  WITH A  SMILE THAT  COULD  LIGHT  UP  A ROOM WITH  A  HEART  AS  BIG AS THE  SILVERY  MOON SHE  WOULD  GIVE  YOU  THE SHIRT  RIGHT  OFF  HER  BACK SHE  LOVED  TO  TEACH SHE  LOVED  TO  LAUGH LACI  WAS  ALWAYS  THERE WITH  A  HELPING  HAND READY  TO  LIFT  YOU  UP WHEN  SHE  CAN SHE  WAS  A  WOMAN,  A FRIEND,  A  SISTER,  A  MOTHER YOU  COULDN’T  HELP  BUT  TO LOVE  HER SHE  WAS  EVERYTHING  I ASPIRE  TO  BE I’M  SAD  NOW  BECAUSE  SHE’S NO  LONGER HER  SOUL, HER  SPIRIT  AND CONNOR  HAVE  GONE  OVER I  WISH  WE  COULD  HAVE  MET  IN  A  DIFFERENT  KIND OF  WAY STROLLING  THROUGH  THE PARK  ON  A  SUNNY  DAY I  KNOW  THAT  THAT  COULD NEVER  BE BECAUSE  LACI  AND  CONNOR WERE  TAKEN  YOU  SEE I  CAN’T  WALK  UP  TO  HER AND  HOLD  OUT  MY  HAND AND  SAY  HI, I’M  MICHELLE, CAN  WE  BE  FRIENDS I  DIDN’T  KNOW  LACI PERSONALLY YOU  SEE  I  MET  LACI  ON  MY TV  “REST  IN  PEACE            LACI & CONNOR” Michelle mckelvy January, 2003   In  Our Hearts   We thought of you with Love today But that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday And days before that too.   We think of you in silence We often speak your name Now all we have is memories And your picture in a frame.   Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part God has you in his keeping We have you in our heart.   Trudy Craft-Austin Mother of Murdered Child Home is Heaven You’re Always In our Memories  Laci, you and Connor will always be in our memories For no one can ever take that away from me  For when I cry, I will always think of you The long days and nights, I’m forever blue  I cherish every moment and dream I have of you For Laci, my love grows stronger for you in whatever I do Life is different and sometimes unbearable for me But then I hear your laughter and  it’s your sweet face I see  No one can truly understand what I feel for you each day But I can find comfort in the Lord as I continue to pray  I know that you and Connor are safe and free from pain But I miss you sweetheart and I want you with me again  You will forever be apart of me and remain in my heart And I know that with that love, we will never be apart I will have you for always to treasurer For I know that I will love you with my whole heart Always and forever. A Mother’s Love Dana Carter Baltimore Maryland Norine Saltero Manteca, CA		A Poem to Laci and Conner I know your looking down and your sprit is in the crowd wondering why it's taking so long to put this guy down...As you sit next to your Mom whispering to her to stay strong, knowing this case is taking way too long, I found a four leaf clover, this case will soon be over.. As time goes on in our life's we will remember your beautiful bright eyes.   By Cindy Livermore, Ca When Tomorrow Starts Without Me When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you". Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free. So won't you take my hand and share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart. ~by: David Romano ~ For Baby Conner: When God calls little children to dwell with him above, We mortals sometime question the wisdom of his love For no heartache compares with the death of one small child Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold, So He picks a rosebud, Before he can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so he takes but a few To make the land of Heaven More beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try, The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Good-bye." So when a little child departs we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find. Submitted by: Chastity Anne South Carolina
