FOREVER LOVE
Paul taught me that Love can last Forever.
There is no end to my Love for him.
I know it will carry on to the next existence we go to.
In that moment that we are reunited,
my heart will be filled with such Joy once again.
Mother
I will Love you Forever...
You will always be my mother.
I have told all my new Angel friends
all about you mom.
I look down and point you out proudly.
See her, that's my mother!
Did you know when you think of me,
I am right there with you.
I will always be a part of you,
as you will be part of me.
Before I was born you used to
rub your hands on your belly.
You wondered who I might look like,
how my voice would sound,
when I would crawl, and take my first steps.
I knew you were thinking about me.
After the ecocardiogram at
Children's Hospital,
I knew you were worried about me.
I knew you were scared I would never
be able to play the way most little boys do.
I knew you wanted only the best for me.
I am playing now mom,
and I can do EVERYTHING!
Thank you for taking such
good care of me.
I know how hard it was for you
to see me suffer.
I am no longer suffering.
I do not want to see you suffer anymore.
I know how hurt you are,
because I am no longer with you on earth.
I wish you could see me now.
Heaven is beautiful.
I have all our family to watch
over me up here.
They really love having a baby to play with.
I have lots of new friends too.
I am there every night when you say a
prayer with Isabella.
I watch over her now, like she would
have watched over me if I were with you.
I play with her in her dreams.
I love it when she reads to me.
I hope she will always keep me in her heart.
I will always keep her in mine.
Thank you for giving me such a great sister.
Do you remember the yellow finch
that flew into the backyard
shortly after I went to Heaven?
That was me... I was saying "I love you".
I will always be with you.
Sometimes you can feel me, that soft,
warm breeze on your face.
That's when I kiss you....
You keep me alive by remembering me.
I know I am always in your heart.
One day we will be reunited
at the gates of Heaven.
I will be the first to welcome you with a hug.
I will never let you go after that, but for now,
no matter where you go, what you do,
I am with you.
Always know that I am "Your Angel",
you are the one who gave me life,
and I lOVE YOU mommy.
Forever,
Paul Patrick
XO
Such a Big Miracle in such a Little Boy!
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
To Honor You
To honor you, I get up everyday and take a breath.
And start another day without you in it.
To honor you, I laugh and love with those who
knew your smile
And the way your eyes twinkled with mischief and secret knowledge.
To honor you, I take the time to appreciate everyone
I love,
I know now there is no guarantee of days or hours spent in their presence.
To honor you, I listen to music you would have liked,
And sing at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down.
To honor you, I take chances, say what I feel,
hold nothing back,
Risk making a fool of myself, dance every dance.
You were my light, my heart, my gift of love, from the very highest source.
So everyday, I vow to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh and love.
Now I live for us both, so all I do, I do to honor you.
You Will Never Be Forgotten
I’ll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things
that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday,
won’t ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word
that I will never say.
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
you will never be forgotten
I can‘t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars
I look up tonight
and know just where you are
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
you will never be forgotten
And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone
You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
you will never be forgotten.
Words of Comfort
A tiny baby could think,
it would be afraid of birth.
To leave the only world it has known
would seem a kind of death.
But immediately after birth the child
would find itself in loving arms,
showered with affection and cared for
at every moment.
Surely the baby would say,
"I was foolish to doubt God's Plan for me.
This is a beautiful life."
Passing through death is really a birth
into a new and better world.
Those who are left behind should not grieve
as if there were no hope.
Life is changed, not taken away.
Our dear loved ones live on,
in a world beautiful beyond anything
we can imagine.
Comfort for those who Mourn
So many people see in death nothing but
a cruel separation from loved ones.
Even good and religious people
make that sad mistake.
In death there is certainly the very real pain
and sorrow of physical separation.
But it is equally true that our
loved ones remain with us.
They do not just go off to some dark
and distant place.
They simply continue into eternal life.
We do not see them because we
are still in the darkness of this world.
But their spiritual eyes,
filled with the light of heaven,
are always watching us as they wait
for the day we shall share their perfect joy.
We are born for heaven
and we end this life of tears
to begin our life of endless happiness.
This section is dedicated with Love to my Mother's memory.

Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the
sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he
noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging
to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He
noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed
that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times
of his life. This really bothered him and he questioned
the Lord about it. Lord, you said that once I decided
to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I
have noticed that during the most troublesome times
in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't
understand why when I needed you most you would
leave me.
The Lord replied, My precious, precious child, I love
you and I would never leave you. During your times
of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of
footprints, it was then that I carried you.
As you hold me close in memory,
even though we are apart,
my spirit will live on,
there within your heart .
I am with you always.
When you lean on trusted friends
and their caring hugs enfold you,
within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.
And beyond the far horizon
when we'll finally be together,
where love will be eternal
and life will last forever.
I am with you always.
Roses for you Mom.. Yellow your favorite

Rose and I were best friends all through high school. We shared silly times and sad ones. We talked of our hopes and dreams for the future. I had a car and we went off on adventures we never told our parents about! I was the maid of honor at Rose and Andy's wedding. Life as young mothers kept us both busy and finally our paths separated but thoughts would sometimes drift back to those long-ago days and the fun we had...and I'd wonder how life was going for Rose. It's so sad to learn she's been very ill and so difficult to believe she's no longer with us. Please accept my condolences.

Good Morning Mom, I was just thinking of all the wonderful ways you have made my life special. You always had a way of saying just the right thing when I needed to hear it. I will miss our talks. I am at peace knowing I did everything I could to make your final days comfortable. I am so glad I was able to be with you in your final moments for that last kiss goodbye. You will be thought of every day for the rest of my life, and Isabella will know just how special your are. Please give my son Paul hugs and kisses for me every day. I know he is in good hands now with you there to watch over him. I will see you both again, and that is what I will hold onto when I am missing you. I Love You, and will always keep a part of you with me..... tucked safely away in my heart for all time. XOXOXOXO Your daughter, Annmarie

I was so sorry to hear that Rosie had been so ill and lost the battle. She was always so full of life and we had many good times during our high school years and for a while after we had both married until our lives took different directions. We were actually together and met Andy at the same time. I, too had been wondering how she was, especially with class reunion approaching. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Andy, and the children. May God be with you.

Good Morning Mom, Thinking of you and wishing you a beautiful day. Please give Paul a hug and kiss for me. I am sure you are telling him all about me. I know he must be happy having you with him. He is a lucky boy, and I am at peace knowing you will be with him now. I Love You Mom.

Isabella Loves her baby Brother.
Isabella held your hand all the way home.
She was so excited, your first feeding at home.
She held your hand all the time.
She kissed you every chance she got.
She loved to read to you. She still does.
She wanted to share her oreo cookies with you.
Tried to share her sucker with you too!
A Daughter
A Daughter brings sunshine
To brighten your days,
A Daughter brings joy
through her loving ways,
A Daughter is a blessing
that comes from above,
A special and beautiful
treasure to Love.
Little Girls
God made the little boys for fun,
for rough and tumble times of play;
He made their little legs to run and race
and scamper through the day.
He made them strong for climbing trees, he
suited them for horns and drums,
And filled them full of revelries so they
could be their father's chums.
But then He saw that gentle ways
must also travel from above.
And so, through all our troubled days
He sent us little girls to love.
He knew that earth would never do,
unless a bit of Heaven it had.
Men needed eyes divinely blue to toil
by day and still be glad.
A world where only men and boys made
merry would in time grow stale,
And so He shared His Heavenly joys
that faith in Him should never fail.
He sent us down a thousand charms.
He decked our ways with golden curls
And laughing eyes and dimpled arms.
He let us have His little girls.
They are the tenderest of His flowers,
the little angels of His flock,
And we may keep and call them ours,
until God's messenger shall knock.
They bring to us the gentleness and
beauty that we sorely need;
They soothe us with each fond caress
and strengthen us for every deed.
And happy should that mortal be whom
God has trusted, through the years,
To guard a little girl and see that she
is kept from pain and tears.

Daddy's Little Girl
You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.
You're the brightest of the sunshine
Morning's first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.
You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.
You're the brightest of the sunshine
Morning's first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.

PAUL
My Guardian Angel
My Brother
My Brother is always at my side,
for you see he is my Guardian Angel.
He leaves his home in heaven,
to guard and watch over me.
When I'm far away from home,
or maybe hard at play
I know you will protect me,
from harm along the way.
Your beautiful and shining face,
I see not, though you're near.
The sweetness of your lovely voice,
I cannot really hear.
When I pray, you're praying too,
Your prayer is just for me.
But, when I sleep you never do,
You're watching over me.
THE BOND
The bond between a sister and a brother
Stretches across time and space;
It's a love unlike any other,
And none can take its place.
For growing up together in
A home that's filled with love
Is a relationship that is akin
To heavenly bonds above.
Even death is powerless
This bond of love to sever;
Fraternal love is endless-
Its beauty lasts forever.
Saralyn Smith
My Beautiful Child
You are my angel from the heavens
My dream for the all world to see
My precious gift in all its glory
Because you're everything to me.
Smiling tears of joy and laughter
There is a magic in your eyes
Like the twinkle in the twilight
For twilight never dies.
You are the breeze that blows so softly
You are the singing bird that rhymes
And the reason for all goodness
Born to me sweet child of mine.
And when you tell me
That you love me
And I tell you back the same
I feel the beauty that's within you
I cry sweet beauty of your name.
