Toni:
My loving first child you always held a special place in my heart and that space has not been invaded yet and I am glad to know that it never can be.
I loved you in life and miss you so much in death.
I thank God for the precious moments we had together on earth and will cherish them always. I know we will see each other in Heaven and I will be able to see your beautiful smile again and we can spend plenty of time together.
I had a thought today and it was of you,
I said a prayer today and it included you,
I made a pledge today and it was for you,
I talked to God today and it was about you,
How precious you were as you grew from infant,
To child, to adolescent and then to adult,
I have lots of special memories and they are of you,
I thank God constantly because He chose you for me.
How wonderful our God is because he gave me you,
God is so awesome because even though our way parted for a while He made a way for us to reunite before you had to leave for good and I love Him for that.
I write these word in loving memory of my oldest daughter, whom I love and miss very much.
With love to you from your grateful mother,
Deboraha L. (Debi) Sallee (Burgess/Gibson/Richardson)
