Not sure what to say?

Well it's getting close to that day when Alyssa left us. I still miss her so much and wonder if this pain will go away

My Stephanie and Amanda I know what a hard day this will be. Hold on to each other and our little Sean. Just love one other. Know I'm here and I love all of you very much and I share your loss of our beautiful smiling angel!

my sister touched many hearts even though she could be a brat and all that we just sometimes have to take them for who they are because we all have are own personality's we don't want to be some other person's personality so my sister had a nice and soothing personality and we ever she would get mad she would stick her tongue out and my mom and i would always say a big fat bird i going to come and poop a big one on your lip and it would sometimes make her laugh and sometimes if you say don't...

Alyssa has almost been gone for 5 months i love her so much i could cry she has the greatest smile of all i miss her so much

ALYSSA CAAME INTO MY LIFE,
ONE COLD DECEMBER AFTERNOON.
I DIDN'T KNOW I WOULD HAVE
SUCH OVERWHELMING FEELINGS.
I THOUGHT MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS,
AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BURST WITH LOVE,
FOR THIS LITTLE CHILD.
MY FIRST GRANDDAUGHTER.

THEN ON A HOT JUNE AFTERNOON,
WHEN SHE WAS ONLY SIX AND A HALF.
I HEARD THE DOCTOR SAY,
SHE HAD A DISEASE.
A DISEASE THAT WOULD ONE DAY,
TAKE HER LIFE.
AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,
THIS...

Today i found a picture of Alyssa it means a lot to me!!my sister has been in my life since i was born!!and i am glad

Amanda,
I love reading the things you write. I know how you much you miss Alyssa. She taught us all so much. I know that I love and miss her alot. Somedays are so hard. But I know she's in Jehovah's memory and that helps me get through.

I love and miss you alot. Hope all is going well for you.
Remember Jesus loves you and pray to God to help you. He is there for you, just talk to Him, He loves you very much.
Love, Grams

Little Angels

When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortal sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with
The death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold
So he picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, And so takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful...
