My first Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below With tiny lights like heavens stars reflecting on the snow The sight is so spectacular please wipe away the tears For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year . I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear . But the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas Choir up here I have
no words to tell you the joy their voices bring For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing I know how much you miss me I see the pain inside your heart But I am not so far away we really aren't apart So be happy for me dear ones you know I hold you dear and be glad Im spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year I sent you each a memory of my undying love After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold It was always most important in the stories Jesus told Please love and keep each other as my father said to do For I can't count the blessing or love he has fore each of you So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year

I had the pleasure of teaching Allyse during my first student teaching placement at State Street this year. She was a wonderful little girl who always had a smile on her face. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet and teach her. She will be missed but I know she will be watching over her family and friends. Rest in peace angel <3

"Who plucked that flower!" cried the Gardener as he walked through the garden.
His fellow servant answered, "THE MASTER", and the Gardener held his peace.

Allyse , you were my little sister from another mama. I will forever be thankful for the moments and memories of happiness we shared together. I will never be scared or alone because I know you are looking over me as I did for you while you were here on Earth . Yesterday your mom and I said we could feel you in the wind, words can't describe how special that moment was to me. I love you always princess, until we meet again
