Mommy & Daddy 2 :) & Brad
i love you guys so much i know that there is nothing i can do or say to make this go away though i wish there was a way. if there was i would take all your pain and sadness and put it on me. i hadnt seen kelli in long time and i feel horrible that i didnt make more of an effort to see her. but teresa ill always remember that time that you and mom drug us to read to those children...and thats where we became friends and we fought with you guys the whole time to let us spend the night with each other lol. i just want to tell you thank you for doing that because then i never would have had a chance to have her in my life even if it was just for a short while she still meant a lot to me. i really miss her. just know that im here for you day or night even if you need a brat in the house ;) i love you guys and you are in my prayers.
She always be with us in our hearts and memories.

Dear Terrie and Morris,
I continue to think of you both daily and pray for you're comfort with the loss of Kelli. She had an unforgetable personality which touched many lives including mine. I will miss her. A poem for you.


Daughters hold a special bond
That nothing can replace
Their smiles can chase the blues away
And brighten up a face.

Joys we’ve known, a special day
Shared between us two
Secret talks and peaceful walks
Just to name a few.

Times of reminiscing
The day you learned to crawl
Looking through the photos
I’ve always kept them all.

But one sad day, the phone did ring
It tore my world in two
A voice came on the other end
“I have bad news for you.”

The precious girl, I loved so much
Was quickly leaving me
So many things we might have known
Will never come to be.

Thoughts of her are everywhere
I cannot let her go
But somewhere up in heaven
A star does softly glow.

She sees a Joy unknown to me
Her face is full of Light
They walk into the Promised Land
God holds her hand so tight.

Just as the shifting sands of time
Flows gently out to sea
Here today and gone tomorrow
My child has been set free.

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the belovèd's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
