My darling son Sean was taken from us on August 10th 2007 at the young age of 9yrs, after battling Cancer for 12 months, for the second time. In those 12 months he endured so much pain but showed great spirit and determination, he never complained and took all of his treatment in his stride. That makes me so proud to call myself his mommy, but what i'm proud of most is that he always had a smile on his face, right up until the end. In the short time I had him in my life he taught me never to be afraid of whatever life throws at you and to make sure those around you know how much you love them. Our children are so precious and we should let them know every second of the day that we love them unconditionally with all our hearts. There isn't a minute that goes by when my heart doesn't ache to hold him again, I miss him so very much. The pain will never leave me but I know I will always have him close to me in my heart. Sean I love you my son and always will. Waking up everyday without him is the hardest thing in the world, but I have to do it to keep his memory alive. To all who have lost a child, young or old I send them my heartfelt love & sympathy.
Christy was my oldest daughter. I loved her from the minute she was born. She was 31 years and 7 months old when she was taken from us. She was such a lovely girl whose smile would brighten up my darkest moods. She was almost 9 months pregnant with her 1st child, my 2nd grandchild.
She loved life and doing all kinds of adventurous things. She lived her life to the fullest. From snowboarding, skiing, even went parchuting. SHe is greatly missed my lots of friends and family.
Some days i cant believe she is actually gone. We didnt get to say goodbye. She was burned completely in a car accident. They couldnt get her out. So we didnt even get to kiss her goodbye. But at least I know she didnt suffer. She died on impact. and I thank God for that..

Remembering you son! Soon, June 3, 2008 you would have been 34 years old. I miss you so much. Doug has grown up to be such a good man, and his baby boy, Hunter who will be 8 this July is named after you. We miss you terribly and we each cry our own tears in many different ways.
Petals in the wind and Pennies from Heaven / Barb Krafft (Mommy)
Yesterday I received 3 dozen roses. It has become daddy's tradition that on Mother's day I get a dozen from each child. When he arranged them, he took petals, that weren't as "fresh" looking as the others, and threw them away. I went and dug them out of the trash and placed them in a container. After church we went to Beluga Point, this is where we sprinkled some of Valerie's ashes. It was a very blustery day and the wind took the petals to the ocean. It was actually quite beautiful and I'm glad we did this. Valerie's first birthday is coming up and this might have to be one of the things we do that day. When we got back to the van, the girls found four pennies (one for each of us left on earth) around the van, we know they were "Pennies from Heaven." Thank you Valerie and baby Faith (our child that's life was over before even a heartbeat).
Some days it is amazing the signs we get that we know our children are safe in our Lords care. My children here on earth are aware of some of these signs and point them out when they notice them also. I thank the Lord quite often for helping us and guiding us through all of our sorrow. We all find comfort in knowing that we will one day see and meet our babies in heaven and that they will be arguing over who gets to hug us first. Thank you dear Father for giving them the PERFECT home! We will treasure them in our hearts forever and glorify You when eternity comes for us. Close

She made my life worth living / AnnaMarie Jensen (Granddaughter)
My Nana has never done anything bad. She always helps people and she has taught me one thing. That thing is that just because someone is gone and you can't see them doesn't mean there not with you. My Nana will always be with everyone she knew. I know she's with me in my heart she wouldn't want me to cry. She would want me to be strong. She would want me to be tough. But I can never do it. I might cry and whine but she will always be with me telling me to be strong. If she had never been in my life, life wouldn't be worth living. If I had never listen to her I wouldn't know anything. We used to play old maid until we laughed so hard it would hurt. She was never alone at night, me or one of my brothers or sisters would always sleep right there beside her. She made life worth living by bringing joy into sorrow.
She will always be remembered as a wonderful person. Close

A Mother's Love is Forever / Maria Baris (Youngest Daughter ) A Mother's Love Is Forever
As children, we can't comprehend or fully realize The meaning of our mother's love how tender and wise, The patience and forgiveness that are part of every day, The unexpected "little things" she does in her own way. Years go by before we can look back on life and see Through older eyes and wiser hearts her love and loyalty, And yet it's these and other special things we hold dear, For memories of her steadfast love will keep her ever dear.

Missing you so much my daughter & angel, Victoria / Carinne V. Montgomery (mommy)
My daughter Victoria,
How I miss you everyday. Mother's day is so difficult as I remember back to Mother's day 2006, the day you were put in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The doctors told me they put you there just for a precaution, told me not to worry, said it just made them feel better knowing you would have more one on one care. You were sad, I know you were scared, you said you just wanted to go home. I wanted to unplug everything they had connected to you, pick you up and run far away. I wanted you to not be sick, just be able to be that regular kid you had longed to be for so long. Each day in that room, you grew sadder and sadder, your body weaker and weaker, the pain, stronger and stronger. I felt so helpless, there was nothing I could do for you, I would cry to myself while you slept, I would watch you and wonder why was this happening again after almost 5 years of being free of this cancer? I was terrified you were going to die, I did not have the nerve, nor could I get those words out of my mouth until that next Friday morning after the doctors put your breathing tube in. when I did get the words out of my mouth and the doctors answer to if you were going to die would be he did not know but it did not look good, you were bleeding everywhere. My world came caving in, my tears feel like rain. Your hospital room had a sadness in it, something was telling me in my soul, you were leaving soon. The rest of that day is so much of a blur, I remember, but I don't remember. Before I knew it, many people were there, they were there for you, holding your hand, kissing your face, telling you to stay with us. We all loved you, so many lives I realized you had touched in your 8 1/2 years on this earth. I had to stand back, I looked around, I knew it would not be long, I felt like I was in a nightmare, like I was surrounded by walls closing in on me, my heart hurt, it hurt for you. How I loved having you in my life, you were my first born daughter, you taught me more in those years you were here then I ever learned in my 24 years before I had you. What was I going to do without you? I had whispered in your ear if you needed to go be with Jesus, it was ok, but if you could stay, please stay, I knew your earthly body could take no more, but even while you were laying there, unable to speak to me, your eye made a tear that feel down your cheek, I watched it roll all the way down, I knew you could hear me, I knew you were saying goodbye, you were sad to tell me goodbye. Never will I forget those moments, never will I forget the moments of having you, I pray to God I don't forget any moments inbetween as I live day to day always thinking of you. Last year was my fisr mother's day without you, it is bittersweet as I still have sister and brothers here but missing you makes my heart sink rememebring Monther's day 2006 and that you went to Heaven 6 days later. It will not ever be the same. I love and miss you so much, only someone who has lost too can understand, the pain is still so raw. The Lord helps me when I need comfort, I know you help too with the beautiful signs I get. Please always be with me, I love you so much Sissy. Love, Mommy XOXOXO
My little tiny boy. He was taken from me over 10 yrs ago and yet he is my only and i yearn for him this mother's day. I am the mother of none it feels like. I miss you and want you here with me my baby.

Mommy misses your crooked little ear your sweet little smile and the way your shook your keys when playing. I miss the way you would take your baby hands to my face and gently connect with me without any words. I know now that you are whole and can breathe without the tube and be able to talk and laugh out loud. I know you are running and playing with the other baby angels and your big sister Israeia. I miss and love you now and forever. Close

Prayers for Those I've Lost / D. (Mother)
You are the little girl I never had; my precious angel too good and kind for this world. And your other sibling there with you, a boy I think. I would have loved you both so very much and I'm so sorry I never got to hold you, whisper sweet things in your ear as you drifted off to sleep.
But, I know my mommy is there with you. I lost her on Mother's Day weekend 7 years ago, the same year I conceived you Baby Girl. I often think she had to go be in Heaven to wait for you.
I hope God keeps watch over you, my angels. I hope you'll wait for me until I can meet you and hold you some day. Close
What we remember lives on Hunter Phoenix 5/1/06 / Chastity Rudisill (mother)
No one will ever know what it is like to loose a child until they are standing in those shoes. You always say Oh I am sorry but I never knew what that truely ment until May 1, 2006, the day my son died. To all those who have lost a child I am sorry but the truest statement ever is "What we remember lives on" so heres to remembering our children, smiling down on us from heaven. Happy Mothers Day.

Happy Mother's Day / Ali Strand (mama to Travis :) )
Blessings, love, hope, comfort and peace to all moms' here on the site today!
My dear son, only child, Travis Strand died when he was 10 years and 17 days old on January 9th, 2004
Not a day goes by that I do not think of my sweet boy.
I will forever be grateful to have gotten to be Travis' mama -
He was so beautiful and so wise - even though he never said a word in his lifetime. He will always be my greatest teacher.
If you would like to meet Travis, please come by and see him at
www.my-sweet-boy-travis.memory-of.com
keeping Travis' love, wonder and joy alive in the world is the job I whole-heartily embrace as the legacy he left to my care. Thanks to this site, as it helps me to do that.
Words can never adequately express the joy you brought to me and your brother during your time with us, Bic. Even when I met you at age 2, you were a sheer joy...especially watching you dance!! You gave us both the best training to raise your neice and nephews...
Today as I look back on the nearly 3 years since you left us, I can smile. It took a long time to be fully content with the thought that you had to go but I'm finally there...I see you everywhere and feel you everyday. I see you in Jake and I feel you as I play with Jenna like a calming presence. I know now how truly blessed I am to have been a part of your life...getting to witness your growth into an amazing young woman.
The tears I cry today when I think of you are sometimes of sadness due to selfishness of wanting you here with me, sometimes of anger as I want you to be a part of the kids lives, sometimes of pure joy of all the memories and sometimes of anticipation knowing that I'll see you again one day in heaven. Make no mistake that any tear shed is purely of love. We love you now just as we did when we could tell you face to face. I think of you and miss you every single day.
To My Brandon / Tamara Payton (mother)
To my wonderful, awesome Brandon. There are no words to describe my longing; to touch your face or see your smile or hear your voice. I loved you so very much all of your life and I will love you even more for the rest of mine. Thanks for all the Mother's Days. I wish I could have just one more. See ya soon I hope. Close

Forever Our Sweet Angel - Casey Ryan / Skip &. Michelle Wilson (Parents)
Even after 2 years, we struggle trying to understand why it had to be your time to go. Why couldn't you have made it through the accident like your 3 cousins did? We know that one day we will know when we see your beautiful face again.
Your first prom would have been this past Saturday night. Oh how hard it was for us to get through the night knowing you should have been there with all your friends.
We think of you constantly and miss you more each and every day. Keep your angel wings wrapped tightly around us all and keep us safe. We love you our sweet Casey Ryan Wilson.
My daughter Whitney Blair was my best friend, my joy, my pride. Just as everyone else here writes, I miss her more than words can ever say. And, even though it's been over 2 years that she left this earth, I too still cry at the oddest times. Like others, tears just overcome me at the slightest memory.
But I have learned to turn those tears into joy. I refuse to cry for myself, for my loss, for what I feel or have lost. Instead, each time those tears start, I choose to think of them as tears of joy for her and her memory. Tears that are shed remembering what a remarkable young lady she had become here on earth and tears imagining just how much more she must have grown in Heaven. Tears of knowing that if she could not be here with me that she is in Heaven with our Father, that she is truly in a better place out of all of the fears and pain on this earth. And, tears of happiness that I was allowed to share in her almost 18 years here on this earth. And, today as my 3rd Mother's Day approaches without her, tears of joy that I was her mother and she my daughter.
Whitney, I will always love you and miss you today and always. You were my baby, my joy, my life. Missing you today more than ever,
Always in Memory / Mother Shanda Smith
Rodney and Volante since that cold night December 17, 1993 when you were mistakenly murdered together... I knew the Good Lord had wanted me to make a sacrifice, I instantly forgave the person that murdered you both. I cried for two whole years, I couldn't stop the overflow of tears that automactically wouldn't stop, for you will always be in my heart. Today 14 1/2 yrs later I still remember your simles and laughter and have turned that endured pain into comforting another Mother or Family that might encounter the same fate. It hasn't been easy, but my faith and love of GOD and believing that JESUS died for all of our sins has kept me and I know it is his Will and my Testimony that will bring us together again. Rest in Peace and continue to shine on us All. Close

**A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam, and for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel lucky to have seen it at all.**
Kaycee Elizabeth Williams~ What a beautiful difference you have made. Your short time here with us was truly a blessing and I am grateful for the moments I was able to spend with you. I love you and I miss you!
