A Tribute and Memory of our Angel Jacob
Forever Loved and Missed...
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone
A part of me went with you, the day GOD called you home.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us each and every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near
So loved, so missed, so very clear
Death leaves a heartache, no one can heal
Love leaves a memory, no one can steal

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your eyes 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 you think of me, I know you'll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand...
That Jesus 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.
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

What My Child Has Taught Me
I`ve learned that you can keep going long after you think you can`t.
I`ve learned that learning to forgive takes a lot of practice.
I`ve learned that friends may become strangers,
And strangers become friends.
I`ve learned that ignorance isn`t an excuse for lack of compassion.
I`ve learned that some people will never,ever-"get it".
I`ve learned that the community of sorrow is the strongest of all.
I`ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn`t stop for your grief.
I`ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of minutes.
I`ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you ever see them.
I`ve learned that love isn`t measured by the amount of time
you have with someone.
I`ve learned that sorrow is so deep it has no words.
But so is love.
There is a Special Angel
There's a special angel in Heaven that is part of me.
It is not where I want him, but where God wants 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 hearts of many. like only an angel can do.
I would have held him every minute, if the end I only knew.
So I send this special message to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my angel and send him all my Love.

An Angel kissed my tears away today, when I was feeling sad
I wasn't feeling quite myself, my day had been so bad
I felt a warmth brush by me that quickly dried my tears
A gentle, kind, and loving touch that seemed to hold me near
Immediately I felt so much better and the day seem brighter too
I guess that's just the way you feel when an Angel comforts you.

In Loving Memory of My Son
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane.
I would walk right up to heaven, to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.
You and angels around Gods happy throne.
I would have held you closer if I had known.

Treasured Memories
We know a smile we'd love to see, a hand we'd love to touch
We know a voice we'd love to hear, a face we love so much
As time goes by without you and days turn into years
They hold a thousand memories and a thousand silent tears
We think of you with love today, but that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday and the day before that too
We will think of you tomorrow and will our whole lives through
For the day we fail to think of you, is the day we'll be with you
~Author Unknown~
My Darling Jacob and Meleny,
May perpetual light shine upon you both and may you be resting together
in peace in Thy Heavenly Kingdom with our Lord. Forever in our hearts!
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love
of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.

If Roses Grew In Heaven
If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my son Jacob's arms and tell him they're from me.
Tell him I love him dearly and miss him, and when he turns to smile,
place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile.
Because remembering him is easy, I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.
I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death.
They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make.
Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.
We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been
enriched by having shared their love.

I’m Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
