Candice Calkin Memoriam

CALKIN, Candice Each day I think of your beautiful smile Only that you left us for a little while Until we see you on that day When the things of this world have passed away At the sight of Jesus my soul will be healed As at His feet I shall but kneel Singing and dancing for him we will be For by His blood He saved you and me. With all of our hearts, Momma and Nanny

Precious Candice,
It's been five years now. I miss your sweetness,laughter and all the joy you gave us in this old world. My pain of missing you is as real as the day you went to be with Jesus and our loving Father in Heaven. Our lives will never be the same here on earth, but our Saviour promises there will be no tears, pain, sadness in Heaven. I pray that you and Great Nanny are the first to meet me after Jesus at the Pearly gates. Eric misses you and you are always in our thoughts honey. Your old friends at church still speak of you with love and how wonderful you are. I pray you can hear us and know how much we love you. I still love and miss you more than I can ever say. Your mom misses you so very much. You have your room like you wanted and it kinda looks like a piece of Heaven. You would love it honey. But, I know where you are there are no words to describe. With all my heart and soul I love you.

Happy 22nd birthday Candice. Today you would be 22. I try to picture how you would look, but in my mind I see you the way you were at 17. It seems that the year has flown by, but it seems like forever since I saw you. Love and miss you with all my heart.
Love- Nanny

My dear sweet Candice, I'm sorry I didn't visit sooner, but I didn't know about this guestbook until your aunt Janet told me. I miss you so very very much. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. We went to see your paver at Mamount Park last week and walked through the park. Everything there reminded me of you. I wish you could have been there with us, but maybe you knew we were there. I know that you can't come to me, but some day I will be able to come to you.
I Love and miss you so very much.
Love Nanny

My precious great niece Candice, I miss you so very much. Life here will never be the same, but we must go on. I know Jesus needed you with him my loving Angel. Sometimes the pain of you being gone is just too much for Aunt Janet. You know you meant everything to me. Eric misses you too. I long to see your beautiful smile and long beautiful hair once again when I meet Jesus. Your smile was like a million butterflies fluttering around.
I love you so very much. Sometimes I feel your presence with me and it is so wonderful and yet lonely here without you honey.
