Memories Are Golden

They say memories are golden,
Well maybe that is true.
We never wanted memories
We only wanted you.

A million times we needed you;
A million times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly;
In death, we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one could ever fill!

In tears I saw you sinking
I watched you fade away;
My heart was fully broken,
You fought so hard to stay

But When I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

A million times I needed you
One million times I cried;
If love could have saved you
You never would have died.

If I could only have one wish
One dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart

For yesterday and you

Love Mummy And Daddy

THE LOVE OF OUR SISTER shannon


If love could change the way things are
you would live forever and go so far
You'd know that I am always there
That I'll always love you, I'll always care

But love can't change the way things are
Or stop your pain or mend your scars
I hope that love can let you know
Not to give up or ever let go

Even when you're not in sight
You're in my thoughts day and night
Love is what will keep you there
And make me thankful for all we share


LOVE SELINA & MARK & NICHOLAS

Letter From Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.

I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you . . . in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was the rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o're.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night . . . "My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented . . . that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go . . . from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going . . . you're coming here to me.


darling shannon rest in peace
and one day we will all be reunited again love from us all babe

Dear Daddy
Don't cry for me Daddy
I am right here
Although you can't see me
I can see your tears.

I visit you often
Go to work with you each day
And when it's time to close your eyes
On your pillows where I lay

I hold your hand and stroke your hair
And whisper in your ear
If you're sad today Daddy
Remember I am here

God took me home
This we know is true
But you will always be my Daddy
Even though I'm not with you

I am Daddy's little girl
We will never be apart
For every time you think of me
Please know I'm in your heart.

I Love you Daddy!
You're Baby Girl
