We did not know that morning
What sorrow the day would bring
When a heart of gold stopped breathing
And we could not do a thing
We speak your name with love and pride
And smile through tears we try to hide
We held you Bri
We hugged you when you cried
If our love could of saved you
You never would of died

love and miss you Bri xx

FOR MONDAY

Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

FOR TUESDAY

I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.

FOR THURSDAY

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.

Tributes For This Weekend

FOR FRIDAY 7th August

~Pennies Come From Heaven~


Found a penny today
Laying on the ground
But its not just a penny
This little coin I found

Pennies come from heaven
That's what my Mum told me
She said angels toss them down
Oh, how I loved this story

She said when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
Sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown

So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your loved ones have tossed to you

FOR SATURDAY

~God's Garden~

God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again

He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

FOR SUNDAY

~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 my 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 a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realised
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.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.

~~ Friendship Prayer ~~

I got down on my knees today
and said a prayer for you
for you are always in my heart
and I often think of you

I asked the lord to send his angels
to protect my dearest friend
I prayed that all the joy and happiness
you have will never end

I asked the lord to comfort you
when you are feeling blue
and when you have a tear
he'll wipe away that too

I asked the lord to bless our friendship
so our ways will never part
for true friends always stick together
for we're in each others hearts

Thinking of you always ~~ Love Jane...xxx

Tributes For This Weekend

My Friend

I'm sending you this little note
It comes with love to say
I've asked your guardian angel
To watch over you each day

For whenever your feeling down
Your angels sure to know
And you'll soon receive guidance
And will know which way to go

Don't let your troubles worry you
Dear friend you will be fine
For your loved and protected
By a presence that's divine.

FOR FRIDAY

We'll Never Say Goodbye

I cannot see you with my eyes
Or hear you with my ears.
But thoughts of you are with me still
And often dry my tears.

You whisper in the rustling leaves
That linger in the fall;
And in the gentle evening breeze,
I’m sure I hear you call.

A part of you remains with me
That none can take away.
It gives me strength to carry on
At dawning of new day.

I think of happy times we shared
And then I softly sigh.
But this I know -- we’ll meet again
And never say goodbye

FOR SATURDAY

Angel Mum’s

We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
We have given encouragement to each other,
Given hope for a brighter tomorrow,
We share the title of grieving Mother.

Some of us lost older Daughters or Sons,
Who we watched grow over the years,
Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
But no matter the age we cry the same tears.

We understand each other’s pain,
The bond we share is very strong,
With each other there is no need to explain,
The path we walk is hard and long.

Our children brought us together,
They didn't want us on this journey alone,
They knew we needed each other,
To survive the pain of them being gone.

So take my hand my friend,
We may stumble and fall along the way,
But we'll get up and try again,
Because together we can make it day by day.

We can give each other hope,
We'll create a place where we belong,
Together we will find ways to cope,
Because we are Angel Mums and together we are strong!

FOR SUNDAY

So Little Time

We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.

I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.

I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.

I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.

I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.

So smile when you think of me
and wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.

I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home to him.

I would like to take this opportunity
To thank everyone for all the messages
And photographs that I have received
Since the birth of Our Third Grandson Millar Chris
They are all very much appreciated
I have read every single one

It’s brilliant to have a baby in the family again,
We are over the moon, but a little sad his
Uncle Christopher won’t get a chance to meet him,
He was a wonderful Uncle to our other two Grandson’s
Jack & Layton they miss him terribly… we all do.

Thanks again

Tributes for this weekend


FOR FRIDAY

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.

But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

FOR SATURDAY

Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart

I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night

I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
Forever in my heart

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥


FOR SUNDAY

I lose my grip on reality
On each day that passes by;
I haven't a clue where I'm headed
Oh how this pain makes me cry

My world is changing so quickly
And I'm losing everything in sight;
Why can't things go back to how it used to be
So that everything would be alright

Why do we have to lose the ones we love
It's just not fair, it's just not right;
Oh why God do you take them
Can't you see, I'm filled with fright

The days come and go
But the pain, it stays forever;
It never really leaves your soul
When you know, you'll no longer be together

Your heart, it's ripped wide open
And even though you try to hide;
It will break and bleed continuously
And feel as though it will never subside

I can take this pain no longer
Oh how it's killing me inside;
What suffering we have to go through
When the ones we love, have died
