To Dawn and Family,
I just learned of your loss and my heart grieves for you. I can't imagine the loss of a child, sibling or niece. My prayer is that God will make the days ahead easier and that His Holy Spirit and the love and prayers of friends and family, will make the coming days a little more manageable.
I can only imagine that the pain you all are feeling is unbearable; but you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.
Please know that if you need ANYTYHING...
We love you!

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

It is by the grace of God that we are blessed by his gift of children. When afforded this privilege, we must cherish the blessed time he has given them to us. When he calls them home, remember it is his will and not the will of man. May God continue to bless your family.
