We miss you every day and think of you everyday it is hard not to!!! We Love you with all our hearts!!!!XXXXOOOOO Until we meet again, I hope you are at peace now!

Well Dakota it has been over 9 months now and I still miss you sooo much everyday! Your sister turned 22 on the day it was the 9 month anniversary of your passing away, that was awful for all of us!! We are all trying to do the best we can to go on with our lives, but it is so difficult because it is like living in a dream, or nightmare actually! It just doesn't seem real even though I know it is because your not here!!! Your headstone is up now and it is beautiful as I'm sure you saw, but that was hard to do also. But I feel a little better knowing it is there and people can see how much you are loved still!!!!
Love you and miss you!! Mom <3<3

Its been a little more than 5 months since you left us. I don't know how to begin to tell you how much I miss you and how heartbroken I am!!! There isn't a day goes by where i don't see you laying in the hospital and feeling so helpless. Being your father I feel I failed you I'm supposed to protect you no matter what and there wasn't anything I could do but pray and I did! It didn't work! I go to bed at night and say goodnight and cry, I wake up in the morning and say goodmorning to you and cry everyday. How I make it throuugh the day i really don't know but I do. I think that's you helping me to try to stay strong! From the time of you accident till the time you were taken from us, I remember every second, from that time on until now its all a blur. Me and mom are really struggling, some how we will find a way through this. How I really don't know,we need your help! I read ther text messages from you the day before your accident all the time, hoping there's a new one from you! Dakota I love you so much and miss you so much! Don't let Andy feed you any meal worms!
I Love you so much,
Dad
January 19, 2010
So here we are 5 days until you have been gone 5 months already!!! I still feel like it was yesterday! I just dont want to believe this happened, but I don't have a choice! UNFORTUNATELY!! Every day is a struggle, and I never know what to expect next with regards to my feelings!!!They say it gets easier, I really can't see it!! I think of you every second of every minute of every hour, day, week, and now months! I just wanted you to know this because that is how I will feel til we meet again in Heaven, your Home now! I miss and love you soooooo much!! Always your beloved Mom
January 15, 2010

Heart Torn out
By:
Brian Tomlinson
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
There is no one there beside me,
And as I walk there will be no dark because she'll shine her light to guide me,
She was once my Heart but death tore her out,
Now I'm just here walking about,
I will spend my life wondering when I'll see her again,
I want to see her now,
I Cant figure how,
But I know I will see her then,
And when I Die please take me to her,
Because then I know we'll be together forever.
Brian Tomlinson
December 26, 2009
I'm forced to say good-bye...
But you don't know how much I want to tell her hi...
All the time she's been gone...
I've missed her all along...
I feel all this pain...
And there's nothing I've gained...
No one's tried to talk to me about her...
And that's why in my heart I feel a little "burr"...
They don't know what I think...
That I see her every time I blink...
I take this harder than her friends...
Probably because they don't know what death really means...
I hate being forced to say good-bye..
I'd rather switch it to a hi...
Can't believe she's really gone...
And we've missed her all along...
Brian Tomlinson
December 26, 2009
If I am hurt or down,
I will try
I will think of you in my times of need,
When my life is getting rough.
When I'm down with a frown, I know
That the memory of your face will cheer my up.
When I try so hard to move on,
But begin to breakdown and cry.
I will think of the happier place you've moved onto,
And once again I will try.
So when we're all missing her so,
All we have to do is try.
To think about the happy time we had with her,
And then she'll know we tried
If we're hurt or down,
We'll try
Brian Tomlinson
December 26, 2009
Your the only one I see,
I turn around,
and your right behind me.
I never wanted you to go,
but now you're just the wind that blows.
Why did you leave me,
without saying goodbye,
you are the one who haunts my dreams,
you are the tears that I cry.
You meant so much to me,
it's too hard to believe,
that your no longer here,
I saw you but you just disappeared.
If you came back,
the one thing I would say:
Don't leave today.
December 26, 2009
I am writing this to Brian(Boot), I am Dakota's mom and remember when Dakota liked you! I am really happy that you at least got to write something to her!

I'll always Remember Dakota Williams:
I give my deepest condolences to the Williams family. She will always be with us in our minds and hearts. Dakota was the first and only love of my life back in high school and you'll never be forgotten by me. All we know is that your in that glamorous place looking down on us. I couldn't be there for the viewing or funeral but i wanted to see her one last time and actually get to say goodbye. everyone loves you Dakota So look down on us and protect us from whatever is to come being the good or the bad. I'll always pray that i get to see you when my time is up because that will be the best thing i would have ever had happen in my life. That point in time would make me drop to my knees and cry out in ecstasy. I love you with all of my heart Dakota Lee Williams and i hope you know that im counting every second until i can see you again.

A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that you’re not in my heart and my soul.
A friend.
December 23, 2009
Oh Amy,
There is nothing that anyone can do..It is infact the hardest thing in life to loose a child. No one can say anything to you to make it easier, or less painful. People say as time goes by it gets easier. I think these people have never expierenced the pain of loosing a child. Remember that our wonderful bodies contain energy. Energy can never disappear. Dotkata will always be around you. Take deep breaths and close your eyes. May her beautiful energy being come to you and make you smile. Thinking of all of you during this Christmas season, and praying that you find peace in knowing that she is there with you.

I'll lend you for a little while
A child of mine, God said
for you to love, while they live.
And mourn for when there dead.
It may be six or seven years
or forty two or three
but will you, till I call them back,
take care of them for me?
They'll bring there charms to gladden you
and, should there stay be brief....
You'll have there lovely memories
as a solace for your grief.
I cannot promise they will stay,
since all from earth return,
but there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in my search for teachers true,
and from the things that crowd life's lane,
I have chosen you!
Now will you give them all our love?
Nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
This LENT CHILD back again?
I fancied that I heard them say
Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy thy child shall bring
the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter them with tenderness,
we'll love them while we may.
And for the happiness we have known
forever grateful stay.
But should thy Angel call for them
much sooner then we've planned,
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand....
December 15, 2009
I wish that every single day, hour, minute!!
Thank you to whoever you are this is a beautiful poem and oh how true!!!

If We Could Have A Lifetime Wish
If we could have a lifetime wish, A dream that would come true, We'd pray to God with all our hearts for yesterday, and You. A thousand words can't bring you back, We know, because we've tried... Neither will a thousand tears, We know, because we've cried... You left behind our broken hearts and happy memories too... We never wanted memories, only wanted You.
December 1, 2009
Well 3 months and 6 days today since you left us! I still feel like this all happened days ago and not months! We had Thanksgiving but it just wasnt the same, we all had a very emotional day and the 3 days prior, 23-25th was like a nightmare all over again. We lite a candle and had a moment of silence and prayer!! I hope you heard us!!! We talked about you often that day and told funny stories that we always had about you, you were one of a kind!!!We all MISS YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH AND HOPE YOU KNOW THIS! Someday I will awake from this nightmare, and will be with you again, but not soon enought! I LOVE YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH AN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY LITTLE PRINCESS! LOVE MOM
November 25, 2009

Tomorrow is thanksgiving and you won't be there, its gonna be so hard without you but i know you'll be there with us in spirit, i just wish so badly that it didn't have to be this way. i love you so much dakota
October 24, 2009
Dear Dakota,
Tomorrow will be 2 months since you've been gone and it still seems like it was just yesterday that everything happened. This has taken me a while to write on here because i just dont know what to say and i still don't know what to say. I miss you so much dakota, everytime something crazy happens to me i wanna just call you up and tell you because you always used to laugh at me and now i can't... how am i suppose to live the rest of my life without my little sister by my side to help me through all of it. its been so hard but we're getting by. i love you dakota and i wish you would just come back. i hope your watching over me up there because i need you now more than ever. please save me a good spot right next to you...i hope its nice up there and i hope your resting peacefully. i love you more than any words could ever describe.

Amy, Tony, Alyssa, Russ, Nancy, and Hazel,
May time and cherished memories give you strength through each new tomorrow.Would like to share this poem and each time I read it I will think of Dakota and I hope you will also, and hope it gives you some comfort.
An angel was sent to us,she couldn't stay very long.
The Lord sent her to us, to teach us to be strong.
He sends many Angels to help heal this
world,
but this one she was ours, our precious little girl.
She touched so many lives during her short stay.
She was on a mission and this is what she had to say:
"Slow down and be grateful.
the grass is truly green.
Revel in this world
there is so much to be seen.
Love and care for one another.
Take the time to say hello.
Take good care of yourselves,
life is precious, you never know."
"Please pray for my sister,my Daddy and my Mother,
so they may heal and take care of each other.
I am home in heaven now and will watch over them from above.
And for all their days I will care for them and give them my love."
May angels guide you through your sorrow and give you peace.
Aunt Donna & Uncle Mike

Amy, Tony & Alyssa: FRIENDSHIP-Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. We have cried many tears for you both together and alone. We will FOREVER hold your sweet Dakota in our hearts. You are in our thoughts and prayers every hour of every day. Please take comfort in knowing that as FRIENDS, we want to be there for you. We will never be able to fill the void in your lives but we can be there for you reaching out to help in some way to fill some of the emptiness. We pray that GOD will bring comfort to you and help you find a way through all of this. Always remember and CHERISH the good times and the eighteen years you were BLESSED to have your precious daughter in your lives. Be reminded that Dakota is always looking down upon you and will blossom in full glory for you in Heaven. Comfort for your sorrow, COURAGE for each day, STRENGTH to face this journey, His Word to light your way, His PEACE to fill your heart, although you may not understand, And His LOVE to hold you gently in the hollow of His hand. May the PEACE GOD'S promise offers help to ease your grief today. And may He always be beside you as you go along life's way. We love you both and are just a phone call away. Blessings, Diane and Mark Richner

Amy, Tony and Alyssa,
I pray for you all the time, more than you would ever believe. I can't imagine what you have all been going through, and I'm so sorry that I've been so far away throughout it all. Watching her grow from a little girl into a beautiful young woman... you guys certainly were blessed with an angel when God gave her to you. I think about her everyday, and I hope that she's looking down and knowing that she's taught me a lot about life, and how to live. I've been working on something very special for you guys and I hope to see you all when I am next in the state so that I can give you all the hugs i've been meaning to give you.
Love You Guys

May you and your family find the strength to continue on with each passing day.
With Love Today
We thought of you with love today,
But this is nothing new,
We thought of you yesterday and the days before that too.
We think of you in silence and
often speak you name.
All we have now are our memories,
and you picture in a frame.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
A part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

To The Family of Dakota Lee Williams,

Tony,Amy & Allisa...I don't have words to make things better, but I do hope the words I do have for you will help get you through this rough and trying time. I don't know why God does what he does and why he takes good people that we love away from us. He must have other plans for Dakota. I have watched her grow from a little girl into a beautiful woman.
Just know that she will be by your sides forever and always looking out for you all.I love you guys so much and will always be here for you, no matter what you need, no matter what time of day or nite...Amy I wish I could wave a majikal wand, and make her walk right through your kitchen door, but I do not have that power...I pray for you guys everyday for you to stay strong and keep the bond that you guys have together tighter....I love you so much...Helane & Zachary

Amy & Tony, we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there... I did not die...
