Beautiful Brooke

Please give your mother heavens gentle comfort and peace in
knowing you are now a child of Gods forever.

How my heart aches Brookie, but oh the joy in knowing someday we
will all be together again. I only wish I could have said
goodbye...sometimes life doesn't seem fair.

Please keep your arms around your mother Brooke...stay close by
her side.

I love you.

To Those I Love & Leave Behind


When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love.
You can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.

But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me if grieve you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It's only for a while that we must part.
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, and life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near
and if you listen with your heart,
you'll hear all of my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say,


"Welcome Home"
Monday's child is fair of face,

Tuesday's child is full of grace,

Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go,

Friday's child is loving and
giving,

Saturday's child works hard for
a living,

And the child that is born on the
Sabbath day,
Is bonny, blithe and good and
gay.
Deb, Jace, and Brooke
Happy times. Brooke just out of the
shower.
When evening shades are falling
And we sit in all alone
To our hearts there comes a longing
If you only would come home
We often think of days gone by
When we were all together
The family chain is broken now
But your memory lives forever
If we could have one lifetime wish
One dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and you
Friends may think we have forgotten
When at times they see us smile
But little do they know the pain
Our love hides all the while
We think of you in silence
And often speak your name
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame
They say time heals all sorrow
And helps us to forget
But so far time has only proven
How much we miss you yet
God gave us strength to fight
And courage to bear the blow
But what it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
We know you'll walk beside us
And when our lives are through
We pray that God will take our hand
And lead us straight to you
