I met, and promptly fell in love with, Armani when i was assigned to
her cabin two summers ago as a volunteer at Camp Star Trails, MD
Anderson's week-long camp for children with cancer and their siblings.
I can still see that beautiful smile that lit up her face and the
faces of everyone who saw her, and I can feel those wiry arms giving me a great big hug around my neck when she said goodbye to me at the end of the day. And then last year, even though i wasn't assigned to her cabin, I was able to say hello to her again
- - and got another one of those great smiles and warm hugs!
As a cancer survivor myself, I learned so much from watching Armani - - to live each minute of each day joyfully and with abandon. To embrace life, and friends, and adventures without hesitation. To do anything you want and anything you can, without letting cancer stop
you at all.
What a beautiful, beautiful child she was. I was heartbroken today
when i saw the notice in the paper that she had passed away. But surely she IS an angel, smiling at everyone in heaven just as she
smiled at all of us here.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all her family and
friends. I am so grateful that i got a chance to know your beautiful
girl.

To: The Family
Grant me strength, Dear Lord, I pray,
Control my life, don't let me stray.
When I feel angered, help me see,
That I can place my trust in Thee.
When I feel I'm sinking low,
Hold me, Lord, don't let go.
Don't let Satan have his way,
For I know he'd lead me astray.
Make me strong when I feel weak,
Let my ears listen when You speak.
Let not my faith diminish in Thee,
But save my soul and set me free.
Forgive me when I start to doubt
What faith and trust are all about.
Hold me Lord, in the darkest night,
Take away my fear and fright.
May Your voice be one, I always hear,
Saying to me, "I'm always near".
"I'll walk with you and guide you well,
But you My child, must not rebel".
Lord, I love you, forgive my fears,
Please dry my eyes from all these tears.
May I always place my trust in You,
Remembering, Lord, You've always been true.

From Your Angel In Heaven
I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free.
No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.
I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.
When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.
Talk to me, just like you did
On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.
And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.
For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.

Mani,
There are no words to express how much I am going to miss you. I thank you for the many years of laughs, the nice things you would say and more importantly, thank you for the many hugs that you gave me. I will forever cherish the blue fingernail polish you gave me because as you said "You wanted to give it to someone special." THANK YOU ! You were really a shining star too many lives in your short time here on earth.
Tomeka, you have shown me personally the stength a mother must have for her child. I pray that God will wrap his arms around you and embrace you during these difficult times. Know that Earth has no sorrow Heaven can not heal.
