I too have lost a daughter and I know your pain but in time the pain will ease but no you'll never forget her. Remember the good times and know she is at rest and in a better place.

De Nesha Anderson

December 6, 2012

Even though she's gone
her memory still remains in our hearts.
Her smile and face will never fade.
We think of her as we go on each day.
The good times we remember
and the days spent together
will be in our memories forever.
So when you start to get down
and you really want to cry
just think of the fun times
and don't wonder why.
Just leave it at that
and know she's better now.
She's in a better place.
Her heart was right with God.
So Tonett we love you
and we miss you so much
but we know you're much happier.
So watch over us and make sure we're okay
and we will see you again someday.

May "He Whom Creates" let the hearts of the world be able rejoice in the memory of love Tonette gave to the world. All will feel she had a short season in this world, but her debt of love has been paid, now she has been called home to receive her reward.
Let your tears be rain for your heart to grow a memorial of loving memories of all she has given. Let your pain be a loving reminder that all belong to the "Creator." She was a loan from the "Creator's" love and a gift to this world, but belongs to the House Of The Creator. I pray the day will come when we can understand with peace and joy we are the Creator's guess, and the "Creator" is the Host whom dwell everywhere will call us home.
