THANK YOU FRIEND / SELMA FLYNN BOBBO.MEMORY-OF.COM (friend) It's the time of year when we're reminded to give thanks.
Instead of waiting until next year to be reminded,
Let's make every day one of thanksgiving;
After all, each day is a unique gift.
So, give a hug for no reason;
Say I love you, just because;
Share a smile with a stranger;
Take the time to count your blessings;
Don't take anything or anyone for granted;
And end each day with no regrets.
Thank you, my friends and family,
For sharing, caring, laughing and crying with me.
I'm truly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life
And I am thankful you have allowed me
To be a part of yours.
May you and yours have a safe and memorable Thanksgiving.

FOR YOUR MUMMY AND DADDY TO LET THEM KNOW YOUR STILL WITH THEM / Lisa Copelad
A beautiful little angel showed up to Heaven's gates Confused and unknowing the plan that for them awaits. Then another little angel walked up and took there hand and said, "Please don't be sad you left, you're in the Promised Land." "I'm glad to be here but I do not think I was to go, Perhaps there was a mistake, for my mommy wanted me so." The little greeting angel gave a sweet smile and said, "My mommy wanted me too, but to Heaven I was led. You see, we do not get to choose when on Earth it's time to go. He gave us life, love and joy and a mother's womb to grow. The Lord still needs new angels to guide them down on earth. To watch over, comfort them, and help them see their worth." "Is there still a way that I can sleep in my mommy's bed?" The greeting angel grinned and said, "that luxury you'll keep. I visit my mommy nightly and softly sing her to sleep." The little angel replied, "then I think I'll like it here. I'll visit my mommy nightly and weaken her pain and fears. I love her and will keep her safe at night and in between, And let her know with a sweet memory that she is still with me." The greeting angel gave her new friend a big hug and said, "Until our mommy's meet us here, let's be best angel friends." "Okay," said the new angel, "that sounds good to me." Then the angels sat and played keeping their mommy's in sight, Humming the tunes to the song they would sing to their mommy's tonight. GOD BLESS YOU SWEETPEA XX

There are no words... / Doris Belcher (Garrison) (cousin) There are no words to express the sorrow theloss of a child brings to us all. I don't understand why Kaedon was here for so short a time. I will pray for our Father in Heaven to help you through this time of grief. <'\\\\>< Doris

Mommy, please don't cry! / Shevone Quintin's Mommy (an angels mommy ) Mommy please dont cry...a beautiful angel carried me here! I met Jesus today, Mommy! He cradled me in His big, strong arms. He made me feel so happy inside. Mommy please dont cry....Heaven is wonderful! Did you know the streets are made of gold? Real gold! I have lots of friends, Mommy. We run and play, we giggle and laugh. I cant wait to show you my secret hideouts! Mommy please dont cry....when I fall it doesnt hurt! There are no tears in Heaven. I've met a man named Noah. He told me about his big boat, all the animals, and the very furst rainbow. Have you heard of Noah, Mommy? Mommy please dont cry...we have lots of parties here; with streamers and hats, and the best chocolate cake ever! When it's time to rest, angels tuck us in. I never get scared Mommy, there is no darkness here! Jesus is the light of Heaven. Mommy please dont cry...The angels are always singing. I love to sing with the angels! You'd be proud of me, I have a pretty good voice. I must have gotten it from you. There is a river, Mommy, in the most beautiful garden you could ever imagine...and a huge tree with yummy fruit. The angels call it the tree of life. Mommy, its so wonderful to be alive in Heaven! Mommy please dont cry...sometimes I just like to be by myself. Thats when I think of you. Someday Mommy, we will hold each other tight! Then you will cradle me in your arms, and stroke my hair....And once again, our hearts will beat together. Mommy please dont cry...I'll wait right here for you.
I care.... / Mel Griffin (Friend) Hi Ann and Jon,
I am so sorry that you are having to bear this pain. Even though we may not understand God's plan, we know that God is good.
I lost both my children within three years of one another. Although we should not compare our pain and our grief, please know I understand and I care. Our children still live; they are just on a different plane. My children are with me constantly. I know Kaedon will always be with you as well.
Take comfort in your faith and in the love you have for one another. The pain never goes away, but God helps you grow and helps you learn to live with it.
Love you, Mel
So Sorry for your loss / Sheri ULrick (none) You don't know me. I am Spc. Ulrick's wife and he is in the field. I want to offer both of our prayers for your family in this time of sorrow. I also pray that you will be able to embrace your other children every day and love them more than ever knowing that life is all too precious. We thought we were losing our 15 month old son on the 4th of July this year when he had a major seizure cutting off his air supply. Each day I embrace all of my children with more compassion and love than I ever have, because only now do I understand how fragile life is. We are praying for you, and are so sorry about the loss of your son. Robert and Sheri Ulrick
From Mary Jane, Matthew's Mom / Mary Jane Zeini Dear Ann, I read your messages on the web healing board. I'm so sorry your little baby died. My only child Matthew died March 20, 2002 he was 18 years old. It's been a very lonely tough road, but life is getting better and I am feeling like I want to move forward, be happy and live my life. I really feel that my son is helping me along. Please take care, Mary Jane
I miss you Kaedon / Jon (Daddy)
Kaedon,
When Mom and I found out that we were going to have you, we were the happiest two people alive.We started planning this and that.The many things that we had to prepare for looking at cribs, trying to find plans so I could build you a beautiful cradle, painting your room and getting it all ready.
This letter is so hard for me to write because you are not with us.You are lying in the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father.Kaedon, my son, we all love you so very much as does Heavenly Father.He will protect and comfort you until we are together again.I will think of you everyday and do everything in my power to make myself worthy to join you in the kingdom of our Heavenly Father.
With love forever and always,
Dad
1~ Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2~ In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3~ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that whereI am, there ye may be also. John 14:1-3
I am with you and understand you all the way / Goldie Godfrey (none) well i know that we have never met or anything but i under stand what you feel and what you r going through I hope that things get better and that you go on with your life knowing that we will all be here for you and will be here to talk if you want to talk
You will always be remembered sweet baby / Meg Pullen (Aunt)
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 it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but 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 "Goodbye." So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.....Well Kaedon he found a wonderful angel in you, it is very hard for everyone to deal with letting you go, but now the world has another angel, and your mommy and daddy, sisters, and brother all have a new gaurdian angel, you will always be remembered and we cannot wait to see you in Heaven. I love you my sweet nephew. Love, Your Aunt Meg
Poems for Dads / Jon Jones (Daddy)
My Dad is a Survivor
My dad is a survivor too... which is no surprise to me. He's always been like a lighthouse that helps you cross a stormy sea.
But I walk with my dad each day to lift him when he's down I wipe the tears he hides from others he cries when no ones around.
I watch him sit up late at night with my picture in his hand. He cries as he tries to grieve alone and wishes he could understand.
My dad is like a tower of strength he's the greatest of them all But there’s times when he needs to cry...
Please be there when he falls. Hold his hand or pat his shoulder... and tell him its okay.
Be his strength when he's sad help him mourn in his own way. Now as I watch over my precious dad from the Heavens up above...
I'm so proud that he's a survivor and I can still feel his love!
