The Wings of our Children
Through our sorrow we smile
Knowing she is now well and
Is smiling down on us
As she becomes our guardian angel
Through sadness we smile
Knowing she is with family
long since gone but waited
with open arms for her arrival
Through the weariness of these coming days
Solice envelopes as arms surround
Smiles happen as memories come
Peace comes through Gods grace

I am a friend of Bill's and am so sorry to hear of your loss. Having lost a child myself, I know there is nothing that can be said to ease the pain in your heart. But remember that THIS life is not what we were put on this earth for, and Avery has been given a great honor and reward, having been chosen early to end her suffering here on earth. God obviously decided she had complete the tasks He assigned her, and it was time for her to come Home.

We understand, our 6 year old son Jensen gained his wings in 2003. Our children are the light of every parents heart and when we are left to grieve them we feel so alone with our overwhelming pain, please know you are not. There are many that walk this path with you and we are always here if you ever need. Your beautiful Avery first heard the beating of your loving heart as you brought her to life and to that heart she has returned forever part of your being. During this time hold each other close and we will hold you in our prayers.
