Your heart continues to reach out
and touch us
and others.
|
|
 |
|
If I had a star for every time you
made me smile,
I would be holding the night sky in my hands.
|
|
 |
|
Aim for a star
and keep your sights high.
|
|
 |
|
You are the sunrise each morning.
|
|
 |
|
But we know your heart beats on
and your loving spirit
still dances along
|
|
 |
|
God loans us children
be it for a short time or long.
|
|
 |
|
To my precious daughter
with love and pride
|
|
 |
|
Because of your smile
hearts were touched.

 |
|
The door is kept open

Passionate and intense,
you touched the child
within us all.

I can't think of a more sympathetic
and a more understanding
group of people.
|

We had a cake and celebrated your
life just as four families celebrate the lives you saved.
