Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

To the family of Dawnisha, we taught Dawnisha, Turquoise & Trulora, along with our sons in Sunday School at True Vine. We share your sorrow and pray for your comfort, peace and healing. We are thankful for the knowledge that she was chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world and that we will be reunited with her and our loved ones on that Great Day when Jesus returns.

Dawn and family, My deepest sympathy goes out to you guys. I know how much you love your baby.I know this for a fact that God is soo soo good it will take time but if you put it in HIS hands he will see you through this. A prayer from me to your family.

Lord God, you gave us Dawnisha for so short a time. Her life had so much promise. Her future was before her. Her life has passed too quickly. By the death and resurrection of your Son we are redeemed. Make Dawnisha worthy to share the joys of paradise. Grant her full life in Christ, and may she stand with all the angels and saints before your throne for all eternity. Amen.
