For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.

The day God called you home.

Angels are a gift from heaven above
a way for us to remember.
A loved one that for what ever reason
has gone from our lives.
When ever we feel sad where do we
turn first for help.
When we feel we can not go on
what do we do.
Who is it we think about for the
guidence that we need each day.
Our angel up above takes care of us
each day in may different ways.
Love goes to each beautiful angel
who we miss each day. x x x

My angels the next few week are going to be tough for me I am sorry if I dont light your candles each day but you are always in my heart. x x x x

THE GIFT OF MEMORY……

One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure

The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep

It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!

I AM YOUR ANGEL......

I am an angel by your side,
Don't be scared or try to hide.
For I am here guiding you the way,
By your side here to stay.....

I will be with you, when times are hard,
So please do not worry, or put up a guard.
For I want you too see I am still here,
To keep you safe, and keep you near....

As an angel I want so much for you to know,
'How much I Love And Miss You So'
So if you see me, please do not hide,
I am the angel by your side...

Family Chain

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

I PROMISE I WILL HEAR…..

Don't think of me as dead and gone
Please understand I have just moved on
God took my hand
When you thought I had died

And led me over to the other side.
There's a better life
Than the one we know
And to it one day we all must go

No more pain, hardship,
Or times of misery
Instead there's all our loved ones
As happy as can be.

You may not see me for a little while
Hear me laugh or see me smile
But I promise you with all my heart
From the ones I love I will never part.

I will always be with you,
However far you walk
I will always listen,
When you feel you need to talk

So when you are saddened
Or driven to despair
Take comfort from the knowledge
That I am always there.

One day soon I will share with you
The happiness I have found
And you will see life doesn't end
Six feet beneath the ground

Forget about graveside visits
And fresh flowers every day
A yearly verse in the papers
Is surely not the way

When there is something you want to say
Or you wish that I was near
Just talk to me like you always did
I promise I will hear.

Tribute For This Weekend
A Special Angel

There's a special angel in heaven
That is a part of me
It is not where I wanted him
But where God wanted him to be

He was here but just a moment
Like a night time shooting star
And though he is in heaven
He isn't very far

He touched the heart of many
Like only and angel can do
I would've held him more often
If the end I only knew

So I send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of my angel
And send him all my love

♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥

How I Feel

I don't know how to feel
It's all locked up inside,
The emptiness is waking
The tears are running dry.

Your the one who held me
Gave comfort when things went wrong,
What do I do without you
I feel my faith is gone.

My heart just doesn’t realise
That you are really gone.
A loss that came so suddenly
But will last my whole life long.

Our time just meant so much too me
I know it always will
The memories locked inside of me
Forever to hold on too

You told me that we'd be,
Together forever more
Part of each others lives
But now the door is closed.

Never too be opened
Kept locked on both sides now
Although you may have gone away
Your spirit will forever stay

My Life Changed


My Life changed, the very moment I found out
That you had passed away.
I couldn't stop it;
There was nothing I could say.

You've touched my life so deeply
To a point you will never know,
I try to think about you
When I am feeling down and low.

Sometimes when my day gets hard
I will think about your beautiful smile
And if I listen hard enough
I will hear your voice after a while.

It's you who give me a reason
To go on with my day,
And now if I want to see you
I'll bow my head and pray.

I catch myself looking for you still,
In the halls and at your front door,
But when I call your name
There is no reply any more!

I never thought a day would come
Where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings,
We have you in our hearts.

Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.

Just one more minute,
God, is all I ask- why can't you give her back;
It seems like such a simple task.
I guess people are right

When they say God only takes the best,
I know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.

If luck was a raindrop

This morning when I wakened
And saw the sun above,
I Softly said, “Good Morning Lord,
...Bless everyone I love!”
Right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer
That He would bless you specially
And keep you free from care!
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store;
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more!
I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow---
I know God heard my prayer for you
---He hears them all you know!

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.
