So for the last entry I write and close it. The year since you left has been hard Somedays just putting putting one foot in front of the other was almost impossible. I know you left in peace and free from pain. I made sure you were comfortable, You were with your family in my arms-loved from this earth to heaven. I believe God was there to take your hand, letting it go was hard I am never ready to let go. I never lost you, I never owned you, you were loaned to me, I just had to let go when it was time. I wished for you to be free from pain and at peace. I believe you were. Today is a hard day, I feel like I've spent a year never getting to have the chance to mourn you. Somedays the only thing that keeps me going is to know that in an instant I will see all of you. Justin and Camren ae not doing well-be there for them when they get there till I do. I will love them to the end and kiss there soft checks untill they turn cold and I know that Gods warm hand has put the warmth back in them as only he can do. Hannah struggles alot and misses you terrible, Jordan is hanging in there and getting so big-including his feet size 14 lordy. The babys are growing, Tina is back Ashley is moving into her own place. Tara had a girl, Tina had a girl and Tonya had a boy. I don't kmow about Joe and Matt I don't hear from them, they have there own lives. Grandma Spring will be 95, Danyelle and Rob will be getting married September 29 back here, Grandpa is doing pretty good as well as grandma Larson. Andrew is home as of December, life has been hard with him. We have a little boy you would have love. He needs a kidney so he can live, they promised he would-if annything happens his name is Sabestine-(nick name chocolate).He's amazing. I beleve you will see me before him. As far as the school issues I'm working on it and I will keep working on it, so the next child can go to school for as long as they want. For that I am sorry I didn't have anymore energy to get that taken care of.Anyway this is the last entry and I just want you to know I loved you to the end and after and so did the rest of the family.You will never be forgotten and I found I believe all of your little things you left behind for me.Thank-you for letting me be your mother and kiss Breannas soft cheeks for me and Brandys.
Love always mom

No time on earth is long enough to share with those we love or to prepare our hearts for good-bye.
Losing a child is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know, but her goodness & her caring live on like a legacy of love that will always be with you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

You guys, I just learned of Alivia's death and wanted to add my deepest sympathy. She was such a bright and happy girl, even with all she was going through. May she now rest in peace as she joins her sisters and may God comfort the family with His assurances of eternal life.

I would help out Alivia whenever she would come into my work at Hot Topic. I remember when she first started to come in and she was very joyful. Her eyes would glow at her favorite items, all the twilight, and Hello Kitty. : ) My condolences go out to her family and friends.
