GOD LOOKED AROUND THE GARDEN AND FOUND AN EMPTY SPACE,HE LOOKED DOWN UPON THE EARTH AND SAW YOUR TIRED FACE. HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU, AND LIFTED YOU TO REST. GOD"S GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL FOR HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST. HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE WEARY HE KNEW THAT YOU WERE IN PAIN HE KNEW THAT YOU WOULD NEVER BE WELL ON EARTH AGAIN. HE SAW THE ROADS WERE GETTING ROUGH AND THE HILLS WERE HARD TO CLIMB SO HE CLOSED YOUR WEARY EYELIDS AND WHISPERED PEACE BE THINE LOVE UNCLE BOB,AUNT GRETCHEN, CORY AND ALEX

When we were at Lowe's today, my three year old said to me, " mommy we have to buy a ladder." I asked him, "why do we need a ladder?" He said," so we can get Aunt birdie down from heaven." I will always make sure that Tristen nevers forgets who he was named after.
Christa Ackerman
October 2, 2007
I feel like half of me is missing. Bird always said that we didn't make any sense unless we were together. She was truly the most beautiful and fun person I have ever met. She will live forever in my heart that is filled with wonderful memories. I know she is in heaven right now watching over me and my little boy. I may have lost my best friend but I've gained a guardian angel. I LOVE YOU, "Apple"!!!
