Juli and Blake,

Juli, you were such a beautiful person with such a beautiful heart for children and animals, and you were always for the "underdog". I saw Christ in you in so many little ways...especially the way you loved other people!! I am blessed to have known you!!

Blake, your mom loved you sooooooooooo much. You were her life!! She wanted you to grow into a man who loves Jesus and treats others the way He did. You were her bright and shining star. No matter...

Juli, we remember when you were born and watched you grow up into a beautiful, caring young lady. We are so sorry that you were called to heaven way too soon. God only knows why. Sincerely, Harold & Kathy Albin

Hello to All,
I have so many wonderful memories of Juli and Blake, especially at Sandi and John's house. She had a love for Blake that was always shining in her eyes. I enjoyed seeing them work on projects together. Blake is much like his beautiful, giving Mother. One day he gave me 2 dinosaur tears, I still have them on the window sill in my kitchen. Thanks Blaker!
Love and blessings to all of you!
Nina

Juli,
I have loved you since you were born. You were my baby. Candice is pregnant now and what a fun great aunt you would have been. We had her baby shower and I so wished you could have been there. My heart is still sad because you are not here with us. I tell myself, it's been 2 years, get over it, but I don't think I ever will. But sometimes I laugh when I think of the crazy things you used to do. Blake is such a wonderful young man. He reminds me so much of you and I know why...

Juli,
We love you and miss you and you're in all our thoughts EVERY day. Ju Ju, Curtis's cat, given to Sandi and John is lively,lovable, and fun just like you were. I'm thankful for all the memories we can share of times all during your years with us. You raised Blake so wonderfully and he often has mannerisms and a smile just like you.
We will see you again one day in the sweet by and by. Aunt Karen

What a precious promise to know Juli has already had one year with our Lord! One of the gifts God gives us in children is that we live on through them. We know Blake has that sweet spirit of Juli's and you get to enjoy her each time you're with him. God bless you always! Hugs to all!

Juli - I celebrated another birthday without you today. I know you and Jesus were watching me and made it a wonderful day. As the tears roll down my cheeks I have so many wonderful memories of times with you and watching you. You were my first born and that first precious baby. I will NEVER forget the thrill of it all. Thank you for blessing my life with your sweet, gentle spirit. Blake is so much like you!

Dear friends and family,
Someone yesterday ask permission to copy and share my poem "The Broken Chain". I must say, I DID NOT WRITE IT. I saw the entire poem on the Legacy.com web page offered for sale on a throw. I then realized where the engraved stone phrase came from. I did not put my name on it but I am sorry I did not give credit when I shared it!

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE & WEEP
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.

When you awake in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not...
