Always In Your Heart Picture me as I was, full of life and love
Although I’m not with you now, I’m watching from above. I know how much you miss me, and I miss you too. It was my time to leave, as each of us will do. Although I’m not in your arms, I’m always in your heart. The precious love we shared, means we’re never Far apart, because I’m always in your heart Eternally Yours, Big Sis. Deborah Ann
Psalms 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

herished Memories
Missing You Always
You never gave a sign, You never said goodbye You were gone before I knew it, and only God know why. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, In my heart I hold a place, that only you can fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, A part of me went with you, the day God took you home. Love Always, Your Baby Sis. Melanie

Our Angel Up In Heaven
We wanted you to know, We feel you watching over us everywhere we go. We wish you were here with us, but that can never be, Memories of you in our heart, that only you could see. Our angel up in heaven, we hope you understand, that we would give anything if we could hold your hand, We’ll hold you oh so tightly, and never let you go, And all the love inside of us, to you we would show.
