In loving memory of       "Laci and Connor"   When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the day-time, when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rain- bows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing wind- songs, they whisper to us, don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine. Kathy Burd from Massillon, Ohio The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand, The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land, The music stops, and yet it echos on in sweet refrains.... For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. submitted by: Karen I said a prayer for you today "And know God must have heard "I felt His answer in my heart "Although He spoke no word "I didn't ask for wealth or fame "I knew you wouldn't mind "I asked He'd send you treasures "Of a far more lasting kind "I prayed He'd be with you "At the start of each new day "To grant you health and happiness "And friends to share your way "I prayed He'd be with you "In all things great and small "It was for His loving care "I prayed for most of all with much love, submitted by: DeBenedtti Family, Tracy CA. Journey On Journey on, oh precious one,  The stars will light your way. To the shores of Heaven,  and everlasting day. Soar beyond the sunset,  on angelic wings. Listen to the praises of  the Son as angels sing. And as you journey onward,  Don't fret for those who weep. You're in our hearts forever,  this memory bittersweet. The joy you have given  can't be erased by time. Death can't take your memory  that lives in this heart of mine. So journey on, my precious one  to He that brought you here. As you walk with God the father,  I'll always feel you near. And when my earthly days are done,  we'll meet again, my precious one. I will hold you close once more  and walk with you on Heaven's shore with all our earthly sorrows gone. So take your flight, and journey on. submitted by: Jennifer (Poem was given to her when her son Died)		Don't Cry For Me I AM SURROUNDED BY A LIGHT OF LOVE I AM AT ETERNAL PEACE I AM ASKING FROM MY HEART PLEASE DON'T CRY FOR ME I AM DANCING WITH THE ANGELS I AM LAUGHING & SINGING IN THE WIND I AM LOVING EVERY MOMENT SO DON'T CRY FOR ME MY FRIEND.

I think how each of these pieces Fit together to make the whole of your days; I wonder what you thought and felt as you    used each one. I want to touch you As I sit here and remember. I can hear your voice and smell your perfume   (Estee Lauder Youth Dew - to me it will always smell like you.) Lazy laughter ringing through summers past; Traces of happiness flash through my mind. So many memories! When I'm alone; I can almost feel your touch. It's those times that I realize that my life is but a branch    of yours. Everything that you were has now become a part of me; And I am determined to make a light in the world    as bright as yours.   Yet, as I sit here, thinking of you, of your life, It seems so little when I can't touch you. But I take comfort in the knowledge That one day, One day, somewhere, I will see you again And we will laugh and love together once more.   Barbara Dengel 1981 The earth stood still, for that very moment, that very day The snow-white clouds delicately covered the diamond-blue sky The trees stopped swaying, feeling the silence enrapture them The birds stopped harmonizing, and the flowers discontinued blooming The water stopped flowing musically in patterns Suddenly, a small, bright beam of marvelous sunlight shone through The clouds separated slowly, like a circle of love that never ends A beautiful, brown-haired angel, slowly rose, like a butterfly spreading its wings She flew away, from a family, who's tears sprinkled down their rosy cheeks She flew, casting her love, kindness, and care to the people who watched her She flew right into the arms, of golden-haired angels She flew into a place, where we've have only imagined A place where dreams live on forever and a place where hope never dies A place where whispers are wonders and tears are sacred A place where hate is not tolerated and only harmony persists Before she entered the gold-iron gates, she turned to her family She promised to be near them, holding them, and guiding them She would be the snow-white clouds that covered the diamond-blue sky She would be the spectacular willow trees that sang in the wind She would be the birds, who sang beautiful tunes of praise and hope She would be the flowers, who closed in the winter and opened to new life in the spring She would be the angel on their shoulders, carryinglives She whispered to them not to feel sad, but to know she would always be Her spirit lived on forever, and her love was eternal With that, she finished her flight, gathering all who welcomed her in her arms Sarah C. from Fort Erie, Ontario (Dedicated to her Grandmother Erma)		Darkest Light   you see the light, but it's so far until one day you see that star you are there, we are here in our hearts we hold so near loving and beautiful taken so soon you and your child live now with the moon   submitted by:Joyce Kery of Phoenix, AZ When I Must Leave You When I must leave you for a little while- Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile; And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same, Feed not your loneliness in comfort and cheer on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!  submitted by: Karen Henrich Michigan City, IN  Please Don't Cry For Me Whenever the wind blows, please remember me I know this was not how it was suppose to be But we're finally at peace and free from pain We've been rescued you see, my baby Connor and me It was Jesus who found us and set us free So Please don't cry for me For no one knows why this was meant to be Why we had to leave you, Connor and me It was Jesus who found us and set us free So Please don't cry for me Connor and I are resting now in Jesus' holy land He came to us and lead us by his loving hand I'll miss each and every one of you, I cannot deny But Jesus has found us, so please don't cry    For life is anew and you must go on To find comfort and strength To carry on- The journey will be long and hard at times But know that I will always be by your side   And remember, we're suffering no more Because Jesus has found us and set us free So Please don't cry for me.     written by: Dana Carter, Baltimore, Maryland YOU SHARED THESE YEARS TOGETHER GROWING AND LEARNING AND BUILDING MEMORIES NOW EVEN THOUGH SHE'S GONE AWAY YOU'LL NOT FORGET THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU SHARED IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES EVEN THOUGH, THEY'LL BE MANY TEARS YOU WILL CHERISH ALL OF THOSE YEARS AND HER MEMORY, WILL REMAIN IN YOUR HEARTS YOU EACH BECAME A PART OF ONE ANOTHER'S HEARTS AND IT'S SO HARD NOW, TO SAY GOOD-BYE BUT EVEN THOUGH, SHE'S GONE AWAY YOU WILL SEE HER AGAIN ONE DAY AND SHARE IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES FOREVER  submitted by: Linda Lewis 2003
