Hey Chelsie, it was just Halloween last night and I know you were walking around with us. You absolutely loved this holiday! I think about you every day and miss you so much. I know you’re flying around in heaven and having a wonderful time. I know one day I’ll get to hold you in my arms again and tell you how much I love you. Miss you sister

My beautiful Chelsie, it's your birthday today , I can't believe your 24, where did the time go . I miss u so much , that there are days I never stop crying . I guess I'll always have days like that . I like to go sit in your room and look at all your things , it makes me happy , and I feel closer to u . There are days I imagine your right beside me and I talk to u as if you were . I can't believe you've been gone 8 years , but I know each day that passes , gets me closer to the day that I will see you again . And when I do , I am never letting you go . I'm going to wrap my arms around you and Tommy and hold you forever. Today's your day , my beautiful Chelsie , I love you

Hi Chelsie,
I have a new job at a new school. I love it here, although I miss my kids and the staff at Liberty, this is a great opportunity for me and my family. I miss you very much and wonder often where you would be in your life now. Probably a Vet, that's what you had always said.... I'm worried about Phelycia. I don't want her to move up north. Her family is here and she has nothing there. I guess a new start but what I'm really worried about is who she's with. Please watch over them and keep our sister safe. Rylee is such a sweetheart, I'm so sad that she'll never know you in person. I love you Chelsie, until next time........
Love always and forever... Marcia

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.

A family is like a body. When a family loses a loved one, it is as if they have lost one of their limbs. The contribution that was made by the family member that was lost can never be replaced. That person is gone. What that person has brought to the family is gone. Is it important for the family to take time to grieve for this loss. Doing so is a matter of respect for the relative that has passed. It is also a step that the family must take to acknowledge its loss. If we do not take the time to honor the lost relative, it is as if we are saying that they didn't matter to us. Chelsie you definitely DID matter to us. We miss you dearly and will never let your memory leave us. We will love you always :-)
Love your Sister Marcia

Hi Chels, I'm in Sams' room now eating classic chips and watching her as she takes pictures of the class holding a "Most Wanted" sign to put in their Mothers' Day card they're making... Quite funny :-) I really wish you could have met her and all of my friends and especially Rebecca. I do talk about you often so they know a little but meeting you would be so much better. I love you and miss you greatly. Come and visit me in my dreams, as Phelycia would say.... Love you, say hi to Tommy, Grandpa Pat, and John for me....

Dear Chelsie- I never got to meet you, but I feel like I have. Your sister Marcia talks about you all the time. She brought me pictures in today to see what you look like. You are beautiful. You look so much like your mom. Your sister is a very good friend of mine. She is an amazing person and misses you so much. She has taught me so much she will never know. I know that she misses and loves you so much. May the angels watch over you everyday:)

Hi sweetheart :-) I know it's been a while since I've written but I have talked to you in prayer occasionally. It's difficult for me to pray at night for God to keep you safe in heaven instead of safe on earth...... I miss you greatly and often wonder where your life would have taken you if you had made a different choice that Wednesday in October of 2003. I still to this day close my eyes and imagine that I'm holding you so tight that you won't leave us again.... One day, I know that I'll see you again and get the opportunity to do this, but that day seems so far away.. I love you Chelsie, and know in my heart that you are playing in the fields of Heaven next to John, Tommy and Grandpa Pat...... Someday, I'll race you though those fields...... I love you Cookie Monster......

Chels,
It's taken me so long to work up the courage to write this to you, and I know I can speak to you whenever I need to but I feel it's more real that I can actually see what is being said. I miss you more than you will ever know. Everyday, every accomplishment made by Jennafer or I, I think of where you would have been in your life and all that you would have done.
Still, to this day, you're the only person that we long for more than anyone or anything else. We talk about the good times we all had but I still can't fathom all that happened what is to be five years ago.
We all miss you and can't wait to be reunited with you one day. I will write more often, love you!

Hi Chelsh,
I need you to give me the strength and discipline to study and pass this exam on friday. I tend to fall from my priorities sometimes. I love you very much and can't wait to see you once again.

God sent us 3 to be sisters,
so we can be the best of friends,
to be there for one another,
even if there is pain.
I thank the Lord for sending my sisters to me,
For whom I truely love and care,
We've shared so many things together,
Like laughters and some scares,
Its funny how we sometimes argue,
I guess its normal, In this world,
But, having you two as my sisters,
means more to me, more than you'll ever
know, I wouldn't trade you two for anything,
I will never let you go,
Just always remember you two can talk to me, I'll be the best friend you'll ever know....
Love always and forever,
Marcia

Hey kid,
Hope your happy and flying free among the clouds. I have often wondered what that would be like. I miss you so much, but I'm sure you already knew. I still think back to that conversation you and I had in your room that day, you were so sad and I made you a promise. Do you remember? Well, i almost kept it, but I'm sure your very glad I didn't. I love you Chelsie and you will always be in my thoughts and prayers....
Love always and forever,
Marcia

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
