  The mention of my childs name

     may always bring tears to my eyes.  

    But will always be music to my ears.

                        STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

             God knew you had to leave us,

       but you did not go alone.

       For part of us went with you

         the day He took you home.

  "A Poem for you my sweet Sammy Jo"

 I Will Remember You

 When I look out over the ocean

A place you loved to be

 I will remember you.

The times we cried

The times we fought,

The times we laughed,

 I will remember you.

Your hopes,your dreams

 What you wanted to do

And what you wanted to become

 I will remember you.

     

   How you brushed your hair

     from your face

       How you walked and the smell of your  perfume

   I will remember you.

 The gleam in your eyes when  you     

were happy

 Your laughter,oh so loud and sweet

Your beautiful face and big loving smile

I will remember you.

Always in my thoughts,

 my precious memories

Always in my heart and soul forever

I will remember you.

           Sammy Jo loved cometing in pageants. The fun and excitment, I think is what she enjoyed the most. She was the reining queen of two seperate pageants when this devistating moment ended her life and changed our lives forever.But the pageants go on.And so does the neverending pain in our hearts.

 Someday In Heaven

 Someday in Heaven

 I will hold you in my arms again,Sam

I will touch your beautiful smiling face

As soft as a lamb.

Someday in Heaven

 My precious Angel,we will walk in the clouds

 Holding hands.

I will hear your laughter,oh so sweet

Like when you were a child playing

in the sand.

 Someday in Heaven

 Once again,we will be happy and together

                        Forever!

Love , Mama

Just like a beautiful long stem rose, 

Her precious memory grows.

Touching the hearts of all of those

 she loves, 

And like the fragrance of that same rose, 

 Her love so sweet still flows and flows, 

Filling our lives with a warmth, 

 That shows she's there. 

So, like a forever blooming rose,

The beauty she shared eternally glows,

 For deep in our hearts, 

Each of us knows...

She Lives !! 

                    

 Gone are the days we used to share,but in our hearts you are always there.The gates of memory will never close,we miss you more than anyone knows.With tender love and deep regret,we who love you will never forget.

                                     

  My Dear Sweet Sam,you are not forgotten,though on earth you are no more.Still in memory you are with us,as you always were before.

Sambo 2000

Time has taken me from you,
Although not very far.
I'll be watching through the sunshine
And through the brightest star.

I'll be watching all of you,
From the heavens up above.
So take good care of each other
And carry all my love.

If you're ever wondering
If I'm there, here's where you can start.
Take a look inside yourself
Deep within your heart.

I'll always be your baby,
Your child (grandchild), your best friend.
So anytime you need me,
Close your eyes I'm back again.

                                     

                                     

                             I'm Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when Autumn's around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm every place!
