Linda Lee

†††††††††††††††

I heard so much about her,
she would've been 54 yesterday.

Mom always told me the story,
she had a healthy pregnacy
and normal birth, but when
Linda was born she wasn't right.
She had water on the brain,
and was also called a Blue Baby,
mom went to the hospital everyday,
Dad watched the kids.
I wasn't born yet,
but anyway they said;
she was getting better,
Mom and Dad was so happy
and Mom said the kids
were so excited.
Their baby sister was
coming home.
Well Mom and Dad took her
clothes and baby buggy up
that day to bring her home.
They told them she'd
never come home,she got pneumonia
and wouldn't make
it so they better take a picture of her.
So they did, our sister passed
away from complications
on april 19, 1945.
Linda, I Miss and

†††††††††††††††

My Angel Sister Linda

Ashes to Ashes Dust to Dust
Little Linda is here,
only because she must.

She just couldn't handle it,
God wanted her safe

to be next to him
in her tiny place.

Like the one in my heart,
that she will always hold

for my sweet sister Linda
died when not very old.

Rita Ann


Rita Ann was a cousin
I never knew,
she was my mom's sister's daughter.
An only child,
Aunt Mary said,
she looked just like us girls,
she kept all her toys
and would show us them once in
awhile, she loved her so.
Rita died from diptheria in 1942,
back then there was no cure.
I dont know what to say
except we miss the
cousin we never knew.
We Love You Rita Ann,
Her mom is with her now.

†††††††††††††††

Angel RitaAnn
Child of Heaven

Child of heaven
come to earth,
You just could not stay.

This world could
not hold you

And so soon
you went away.

Like a rare
and precious rose,
Your lovely soul can't die.

Budded here upon the earth,
Now it will
bloom on high.

You are a child of heaven
And will forever be

In the arms of Jesus
For all eternity.

Billy

Billy was my sister
Sharon's Baby
He was stillborn,
She didn't have a hard pregnacy,
he was 2 months early,
she got up to go to bathroom,
reached up to
get something and next thing
we knew she was laying on
the floor in a pool of blood,
hemmoraging, unconsciouness
She was taken to the
hospital and they done a cc on her,
He had went to heaven!
She never saw him,
never even got to go to his funeral,
I remember Dick coming
home the day he died,
he stood at fridge with his arm on the
door and cried.
He(Billy) was the first boy
born in our family,
first grandson,first nephew.
The funeral was small,
I didnt go,
mom didn't want me too go,
he would've been 38 today!
Little Billy,
we miss and Love You Still.
Your our AngelBilly.

†††††††††††††††

I'll Hold You in Heaven

From the very
beginning I loved you,
As I made plans
to hold you and rock you:

You were tiny and
helpless as you lay in my womb,
But something went
wrong and soon you were gone;

My young heart was broken,
my tears fell like rain,
I'd never known
such heartache and pain.

I wonder who you
look like,
me or your dad,

Do you have my
smile and his eyes?

Would you have been
big and tall like your dad?
or tiny and small like me?

We had dreams for you
that reached to the skies.

It was long,
long ago and I still miss you so,

Thanks to Jesus,
I'll see you in heaven.
I'll hold you in heaven someday,

When my trials
on earth pass away;
The angels have rocked you,
the Father watches over you,

I know you're
waiting for me;
I never could hold you
or tell you "Goodbye"
But I'll hold
you in heaven someday.

Little Louie

Well Little Louie was
a 5 1/2 month old term baby,
Sandy had trouble
carrying him,
he was fully formed,
just wasn't meant to be.
She hemmoraged that night
and lost him,
but I know she'll
see him in Heaven
And she will
hold his Tiny Little Body,
She'll rejoice with
all Our Loving Jesus and All
our Loved ones.
Little Louie,I Love You
and Miss You


†††††††††††††††

My Lil Angel Louie

I'll Rock
You in Heaven
The years have passed,

the pain has
dulled a little.

But your memory
is still so strong.
Though we hugged
only thru my bulging belly,
I loved you.

I recall patting you,
touching you,
holding you,
as you were safe inside me.

It hurts me to
think you might have
had a painful departure
from this world.

I hope and pray it wasn't.
My mind still
thinks of you hourly;
still I think,
"did this really happen?

Did my baby
really die?
Surely it's just
a bad dream!"

But it did happen,
and now you effect everything
I do and say and think.

Never has anyone
so deeply effected my life.
Never have I been
so aware of others' pain.

You gave me a gift
in your life and death,
of compassion,
understanding and patience
with others who are hurting,

and for that
I thank our Almighty God.

You gave me closer
friends and new friends
, and new insights
into the Lord's ways.

So out of all
my pain and heartache
some good has come.

I now find some
comfort in knowing
I'll Rock you in heaven!
My little Angel

My Darling Baby Boy


Oh I remember the
night you were born,
it was kinda funny,

My brother came to get me
and forgot my mom,
as we were leaving she was walking
up the street,
of course we picked her up.
Ray was born at 10:am,
was an easy delivery
and such a sweet baby,
so pretty, had so much hair.
Was in the hospital two days and
took my little darling home.
He was such a good baby,
hardly ever cryed
except when he was hungry,
I remember playing
with his hair alot,
my older daughter and niece adored him.
They would sit and
hold him all the time,
my niece was a couple
months pregnant when I had Ray.
Days turned into weeks,
Ray was five weeks old
and I took him to the dr.
for a checkup.
He had gained 4 lbs in 5 weeks
and she said,
she was gonna give him his first shot.
He was a trooper,
didn't even cry.
We went home and he slept
the rest of the day
except to wake up and eat.
The next day he was cranky
all day,very unlike him,
later that evening he was ok.
Sandy and I played with him,
she put his hair in a bow,
put his rattle up to
his mouth and he smiled
at us for the first time.
Well I gave him his bottle
about 11:p.m and then
I went to bed too.
Well he never woke up,
I called the ambulance
and my mom,
and then went next door and got
my sister.
The ambulance was there
within minutes,
we went to the hospital,
they worked on him for 45 min.
But God wanted him,
My Angel died from what
they called it then "crib death"
Its called Sids now.
My Darling Angel
I'll Always Love and Miss You,
Love,Your Mommy.

†††††††††††††††

My Angel Baby

And The Angel Came
Through The Dark when death first
seized my little one,

Tears of longing
dimmed each dawn,
my world stopped cold,
through days ahead.

A puppet dangled
in my stead
My heart ablaze,

Sorrow rank where
love just bloomed,
now countless years
we've been apart.

I can hold you
only in my heart,
called by daily cares and needs.

On altered course,
this life proceeds,
when dark within
my spirit dwells.

Your light,
my little one,
lives on,
in my Heart on and on.

†††††††††††††††

My Sweet Little Redheaded Nephew


Gosh I remember
so much about Chris,
Where do I begin.

Well I remember not
wanting to get close to him,
I was afraid to love him,
but when you seen Chris you
just automatically fell in Love with him,
When he first came home
I was afraid to hold him,
scared he'd be taken from me,
but I got over that,
and he became my babydoll!
I Lived with Sandy then
and so did he,
we took care of him for
quite awhile,
she'd put him to sleep
and I'd get up in middle of
the night and feed him.
We'd lay on the bed
with him and he'd try to
crawl down to the end of
the bed and we'd grab his foot.
Wow would he get mad.
He was the center
of our attention,spoiled,
but if loving is spoiling
then yes he was spoiled alot.
I remember when he
was about a year old,
I had a dream that a small boy
in our family died and
was buried in the same lot with my baby boy.
Scared me to death,
but everyone said,
it's just a dream.
I moved in with my mom
so I didn't see much of him,
except when Sandy
or Mary brought him over.
He always wanted
to stay all night and most of
the time I couldn't refuse him,
I gave him anything,
we all did.
He loved The incredable hulk,
one night he stayed and was
in front of the
t.v when it came on,
The Hulk went GRRRRR
and Chris made a beline for me
and jumped on top of me,
It was so funny!
The last time I saw
him alive was on a friday night,
he said, aunt tusie,
tan I tay alnight,
I said, no honey maybe next weekend.
If I would of only
knew that next week was
never gonna come
Two nights later he went
to the hospital cause
he could'nt swallow,
he was diagnosed with epiglottis.
They(the hospital) told Sandy and Mary
to go home cause he was better
and they were gonna put
him in a pediatrics ward.
Sandy didn't want to leave,
they said,
they'd call if anything happened.
They(Sandy and Mary) came
and got Johnny(Mary's baby)
and went home,
we slept with our ears open
that night and when the phone rang,
I just got a awful feeling
that it was about Chris.
Sandy talked to Mom first
and I just knew it
was about our little Chris,
crying Mom handed me the phone,
Sandy said; Our baby is gone,
all I can remember saying is
"Oh No",
I went next door to tell
my brother and as I went thru the
bedroom I could see my
two oldest kids were just sobbing,
they had overheard,
I went on over and
told my brother and he got mad,
I guess from hurting so.
The funeral was two days later,
was the hardest thing
I ever done to walk in there
and see my Little Chris Laying in a coffin.
Well I could go on and on
but here's where i'll end.
I have so many Angels
Watching over me.
My Little AngelChris,
I Miss and Love You so,
You'll live in My Heart Forever

†††††††††††††††

My Angel Chris

Guess what Aunt Tusie,
Heaven is great. Just like you said,

There's not much
longer to wait.
Guess what Aunt Tusie

I have a guardian angel
who comes at night.
I told him I wanted to go,

But the times not right.
Guess what Aunt Tusie,
My angel came this morning.

While everyone
was still in bed,
He came with a warning.

I knew my time was soon.
Guess what Aunt Tusie,
When you were
finally out of sight,

I told my angel,
The time is just right.

Guess what Aunt Tusie,
When you still
didn't know I was gone,

My angel put
his hand in mine,
And I was no
longer stiff or sick,
I felt so happy & fine.

When Gamma called,
I saw you crying from above.
And I knew how
much I was loved.
Guess what Aunt Tusie,
On the way to the hospital
I heard you pray,
Please let them bring him back,

I know you don't
want God to take me away.
Guess what Aunt Tusie,
It looked like
you'd never go on.
Guess what Aunt Tusie,

I saw Gamma Hold me tight
and kiss me
And tried to tell
you I was alright.
Guess what Aunt Tusie,

There's no more pain,
And I'm playing with Ray
Please Aunt Tusie,
Tell Gamma I Love Her
I'll watch all of you
all your days through.
And be like your guardian angel,

Just because, I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!

Your Loving Chris
