Dear Bev,
I am so very sorry to hear the sad news about Sarah and Donovan. My heart goes out to you for your precious losses. There is no pain like the loss of a child. At times the feelings can be unbearable. But its times such as this we need to turn to God's Word. He gives strength, comfort and Hope.
"And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will sickness nor suffering nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4
Pray for understanding, strength and peace!

Sarah-Beara...I will always think of you as my little sister! I have known you since before you knew yourself. Although I hate that this has happened, I know that you are with Donovan probably fussing at him to put some shoes on but more importantly you are just with your baby period. May the Lord Bless you and keep you two safe in his arms! Love Shada

*Someone Lending A Hand

December 1, 2010

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Beverly, Michael and Joseph-
How greatly I was saddened to learn of the loss of your preious Sarah. When someone you love dies, especially someone as young as Sarah, it leaves an empty spot in your hearts which could never be filled by any other person. What a wonderful blessing we have from god in memories. Whenever you close your eyes, you can remember Sarah just as she was, happy and healthy. Soon, in a new world of god's making, all pain, suffering and sickness will be gone foreve. Until then, I will keep you in my thouths and prayers.
A friend.

Nothing is more powerful than a mother's love for her child, may your tears of pain be tears of joy as you hold him tight. thoughts and prayers to the family. May God's spirit help comfort as you try to comprehend this situation, everything happens for a reason or it would not happen. May the LOVE of the CHRIST embrace you in full in what is perceived as a great loss.
Try to view this through the eyes of CHRIST, what seems tragic might very well be triumph.
