From: Rick, Mom and Beanie
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds 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 I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
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 for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Happy Birthday Beanie...I know I'm a little late, but better late than never...right! I miss you soo much. When I was younger you was a daily part of my life...I use to wake up and go to bed with you every morning and night. Then as I got older you wasn't around as much and before you left us i wanted you to come home and see me so bad and I guess I keep trying to tell myself you're still here j/not here and that I'm going to see you again soon, and when I face reality it sucks. I love you and miss yoiu more than anything.

Happy Birthday My Baby
I guess by now your sister Mimi has had her baby. She told me the dr. was going to take him this morning.
I spoke with Nanny Tues. she said that Miss Chas wanted to buy some Jeff Gordon ornaments for the Christmas tree. I guess if she does she will sgn the guest book and let us know. For many years you were a Terry Labonte fan, I guess you finally realized who the best driver is. (GO 24)
The second Sunday in December at 7 p.m. is Worldwide Candle Lighting in memory of all our children who have died. This year it is the 12th. I hope everyone lights a candle for you and Rick. Of course everyone was someones child.
So I guess when I light the candle It will also be for Mom and Dad, Dave and Jerry, Sheena....Oh I could go on on, but I won't.
You are always in my mind, your picture with Grams' is right on my computer desk.Your ashes and Moms' are in the office with me on Amanda's desk. Thats as close as I can get both of you to me.
She went away, now she is gone, she left us here alone.
She took her smile, she took her joys, and traveled up on home.
She does not hurt, she is not sad, there is no pain.
She looks down here and throws a kiss, and sends it on the rain.
(writng this just about killed me...I love you, Beanie)

I've had so many good memories - many of them include you. Like walking on the beach together and looking at starfish.It's hard for me to picture that that's all over.You're such a wonderful aunt and I'll never forget that. I miss you so much.
Love,

Yesterday has come and gone. Thoughts of you filled the day. When I first have thoughts of you- for a moment I have an overwhelming feeling of disbelief. I very quickly remind myself the reality that you are gone from my earthly life forever. I remain with an incredible sense of loss. The Lord giveth and the Lord has taken it away. I beg him to let me see and speak with the ones I have lost again one day. All I have is the memories of a fun-loving sister. Growing up we had each other to play with, talk to and share life. I'm truly grateful for those moments and will hold them dear to my heart as I live this life knowing you're gone. I remind myself that the pain of an earthly life has left you and you may rest in peace in the house of the Lord. This helps me to find a more peaceful place in my mind when thoughts of your overflow.

Beanie,
I watched you grow from a beautiful baby girl, into the beautiful woman you became.
The hardest thing for me to do in my life is letting you go.
Always and Forever you will be in my heart.
I Love You Baby,
Mom

FOR MOM & BEANIE
Ideal and dearly beloved voices
of those who are dead,
or of those who are lost to us like the dead.
Sometimes they speak to us in our dreams;
sometimes in thought the mind hears them.
And for a moment with their echo other echoes
return from the first poetry of our lives--
like music that extinguishes the far-off night.
for Beanie
If I should go before the rest of you
Break not a flower or inscribe a stone,
Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves that I have known.
Weep if you must
Parting is hell,
But life goes on,
So sing as well.
for Mom
Ask any woman whose mother has died ...
and she will tell you that her life is irrevocably altered;
that this one fact forever changes who she is and who she will be.
Gone is the caregiver, teacher, adversary, role-model, and guide to being a woman.
I miss you both so much, to sleep and see your face is so wonderful.
Trish Robinson

Today being Mom's birthday, I thougt I would share Beanie's guest book with her. Sonny and I went to Liberty Valance for lunch, that's where we took Mom for her birthday in 2002. It was the Sunday before she went in the hospital on Thursday. On April Fool's Day we were told she had 6-8 weeks to live, she lived 9 weeks and 2 days.
I miss her every day, I still think at times, " I need to call Mom " and then remember.
I LOVE YOU MAMA
When I got home and checked my email there was a card from Cristi. I copied it the best I could:
How Simple It Is To
Make A Difference
In The Lives Of Others
Happy Birthday To Someone
Who's Made A Beautiful
Difference In My Life
In Loving Memory of My Precious Grandmother.
Your love was as constant as the memories of you in my mind.
It was placed in my heart in such a way that it remains steady.
I have never missed anyone or anything as much as I have missed you.
My only wish is that I may portray and share this love with my husband,
my children and God willing my grandchildren. With all of my heart, Cristi

Happy Birthday My Baby.
The second Sunday in December at 7 p.m. is Worldwide Candle Lighting in memory of all our children who have died. This year it is the 14th.
Lights of Love
Can you see our candles
Burning in the night?
Lights of love we send you
Rays of purest white.
Children we remember
Though missing from our sight
In honor and remembrance
We light candles in the night.
All across the big blue marble
Spinning out in space
Can you see the candles burning
From this human place?
Oh, angels gone before us
Who taught us perfect love
This night the world lights candles
That you may see them from above.
Tonight the globe is lit by love
Of those who know great sorrow
But as we remember our yesterdays
Let's light one candle for tomorrow.
We will not forget
And every year in deep December
On Earth we will light candles
As.................we remember

The memory of my aunt runs through my head at all times of the year. I never saw her much, she was always off doing something crazy and wild. But when I did get to see her, it was always so much fun. She did that to everyone, she just seemed to brighten everyone's face. I miss that she won't be around for special times and now that I am grown I miss that we will never be able to have a sort of friendship. I love you Aunt Beanie.

Two days of each year will stand out as the pits--the anniversary of Beanie'death and her birthday. Then there's also the anniversary of 'the last day I saw her alive ',
'the day I found out she was dead' and on and on. I wake up one morning with a heavy feeling, not knowing exactly why I feel so sad. Then it hits me-the anniversary of one or another dates I shared with Beanie.
When she first died, the pain and suffering permeated virtually every aspect of my life. Later on, these emotions were unexpectedly re-activated by photographs, songs, and movies. All of these were capable of producing intense feelings of extreme, debilitating pain and guilt.
I'm sure as time goes by it will get easier, it's just there was so much left to say and do.
I would like to openly thank Amanda for her addition to the guestbook. It brought a smile, her humor reminded me so much of Beanie and her own wonderful laughter.

Full moon does it ring a bell? Well it just so happens that on Aunt beanie's birthay last year there was a full moon, and also the anniversary of her death. I guess that means shes shinning down un us right now.
That also reminds me, the day Aunt Beanie was cremated while Trish was picking me up from school we saw a couple of upside down rainbows. Aunt Beanie must have had a big smile on her face:)
A little funny to bring up. Last year Trish gave Joey, Aunt Beanie's Jeff Gordan clock( that someone had given her as a joke). Well He must have thought she liked him because on his wedding day he had a Jeff Gordan cake in honor of Aunt Beani, litte did Joey know that her favorite race car driver is Terry Labonte.
Well even through all of this crazyness, Aunt Beanie sure did seem to brighten up all of our lives.
In honor of you Anut Beani,
Amanda & Trish
(Trish really didn't write this but she'll catch up later.)

My precious sister taken from us much too early. The loss remains so heavy on my heart. My only thoughts are for those who also feel this way. I pray that in time it won't hurt so much. My thoughts somehow always drift to our childhood and those brown curls. A sister's love is forever.

Weep, weep within me, darling. There's release
In tears, in sorrow, in love that brings such pain.
You live inside of me, so rest in peace.
I know that like a sea you cannot cease
To crash against my heart, again, again.
Weep, weep within me, darling. There's release
From all the cruelty of your short life,
The unimagined hell of the self-slain.
You live inside of me, so rest in peace.
I was cut off from you and could not piece
Together bows that lay beyond your rain.
Weep, weep within me, darling. There's release
In knowing that your love, like magic fleece,
Will warm me through the winters that remain.
You live inside of me, so rest in peace.
My love for you, dear Beanie, will increase
As more and more your will I will unchain.
Weep, weep within me, darling: there's release.
You live inside of me, so rest in peace.

Aunt Beanie, the other day I just started thinking about you and wondered why...later on I talked to grandma and she said that she had been going through your stuff that day. Apparently you are felt all over, you affected all that you came in contact with. We all miss you. I forget sometimes that you are gone and then I have to come to realization...I'm sorry we weren't closer. Take care of Gram for us, we love you both.

I never met Beanie. I know her mother, Trish, and I know that Beanie was dearly loved and cherished by her. I'm a mother too, and I can't imagine a greater pain than losing one's own child. One's child doesn't have to be perfect to be loved - in fact they don't have to do or be anything other than be themselves. Their value is in the fact that they are yours. And I know Beanie is greatly missed by Trish and many others who love her. I can't possibly know the excruciating pain that Trish is going through because I've never lost one of mine. I guess God knows that pain because he did lose His only son to death on the cross. So I guess my prayer is that the God who knows that kind of pain will somehow bring comfort and healing to all those who miss Beanie so deeply.

You take for granted that everyone will always be there. I never realized how much I missed you untill I heared that I would never see you again. I wish I could see you just one more time. We had alot of good times that I will never forget and I know that we will met again. But untill then I'll be thinking of you. I miss and love you always.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me...
If tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
The thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you come and take my hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart

My sister has left us all.
With an overwhelming sadness and tearful eyes I send this message.
At the request of our Mother, Beanie was cremated and has been returned to us. In short time she will be returned to Louisiana, a place of which her roots came. Her Daddy will release her earthly remains back in an area of which she called home. Please know that when we have completed preparations, arranged for her passage home, and it is finished I will send another message.

I didn't know Beanie very well but I do know that she was loved by many and in her short life she lived every day to the fullest. I know she is in good company now. Maybe someday she will be re-united with all the people that loved her. Beanie, we all miss you.

To my "Precious Daughter",
When your grandmother died I thought it was the greatest sorrow my heart would ever know. All I knew is I wasn't thru needing my Mother, she was my everything. Now you are gone and it seems more than my heart can stand. The grief I feel is so overwhelming it consumes me. I don't know if there is anything after you die, ashes to ashes...dust to dust, maybe streets paved with gold? If there is a hereafter, then I guess you are with grandma. That thought helps.
"I've thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,I've thought of all the love we shared,and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you and see your beautiful smile"
I love you my baby, Mother

My Aunt Beanie was a very fun and outgoing person. I will always remember the time we spent together in Nags Head, the time that she let me play with the snakes and the time we stayed up singing rock songs to the top of our lungs. She was such a great person to have known and the be related to, I just wish she didn't have to leave so soon. I will forever miss her.

My sweet spirited little sister will be greatly missed. My grief overwhelmes me that I will never see her again in this lifetime. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated at this most difficult time. I hope that all who remember and reflect on her short life do so without regret or remorse. Celebrate her life and remember her in the sweetest of ways. She was a loving carefree spirit. I've missed you so much.
