My Loving Son

No words I write could ever say how sad and empty I feel today.

The Angels came for you much sooner than I planned, I will brave the bitter grief that comes, and I will try my best to understand. Chris, why did you have to go away? Why wasn’t it right for you to stay in my heart. Chris, you will always be. I love you dearly, and I know you will watch over me. What I am suffering seems so unfair, but one thing is for certain my love for you will always be there. Chris, my son, you will always be one of the most important part of my heart’s memory. A thousand words won’t bring you back, I know, because I have tried, neither will a thousand tears, I know because I have cried. Now you are up in Heaven with the Angels. They will take my place for now, and they will give you all their love.

So go and rest in peace now my dear son. For all my love and memories, I will hold forever near.

Your Mother, Stella

~Acknowledgement ~

Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair.

Perhaps you sent a floral arrangement if so we saw it there.

Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say.

Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.

Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much.

Your kindness and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.

A Brother’s Love You went away so suddenly We did not say goodbye But brothers can never be parted Precious memories never die.

I never thought I would see the day.

When you wouldn’t be there, to show me the way.

You always had a way, but that was before you were gone.

You’d come in my room to play, or to tease. You always made me smile.

I don’t know how you did it, I’m not sure I really care.

But I know that you are with me, I know that you are there.

I LOVE YOU LIL BROTHER! You will always be my Lil Chrisy…

Shannon
