RECESSIONAL

To My Mom,

Words can’t really describe how I feel. I am hurt at the thought of being without you, but I know our father needed you best. My whole life it’s always been just us. As I start this new chapter in life, I know you will be with me every step of the way to guide me, so you can get your rest now, I will be okay. For I know God makes no wrongs. It’s not “goodbye” but for now, I’ll see you later.

Love always, Your Mya D.

Until We Meet Again

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile, if only i could have you back just for a while.

Then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to do.

You always meant so very much, and always will do too.

The fact that you're no longer here, will always cause me pain, but you're forever in my heart, until we meet again.

Love, Your Mom

To My Sister, “I Never Saw Your Wings”

How is it that I never saw your wings when you were here with me? When you closed your eyes and soared to the heavens, I could hear the faint twitter of your wings as you left. Your body no longer on this side. Your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine. I close my eyes and see the multicolored wings surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times. Sister, my angel, God has given you your assignment. I feel your wings brush against my face, wiping my tears away. I can’t hold you in my arms, but you’ll always be in my heart. You earned those wings dear sister and you’ll always be my angel eternally.

In Loving Memory of a Special Niece

The day you left and gained your wings my hear just broke in two. I wish you could have stayed with me, but heaven needed you. You left me with the memories, and I love you dearly still. No matter how much time goes by you know I always will. You were a very special person, with kindness in you heart. And the love we had together grows stronger now were apart. I know I can’t bring you back although I wish it every day. But A piece of me went with you, the day you went away.

Aunts and Uncles

To My Aunt,

Of all the special gifts in life however great or small, to have you as our aunt was the greatest gift of all. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper in your ear. “We love and miss you Auntie and wish that you were here”

Deep in our hearts, your life is kept loving and cherish, not forget. No more tomorrows we can share but yesterdays are always there. A silent through, a secret tear keeps your memory ever near in our hearts forever.

Nieces and Nephews

The Broken Chain

Little did we know that night that God was going to call your name. I life we loved you dearly, in death we the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, or part of us were with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories you. Your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you, you are always on our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems too same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
