"Seeing death
as the end
of life
is like seeing
the horizon
as the end
of the ocean"

MARY
Tiny little angel, Mary,
who didn't get to dream,
play or dance.
Tiny little angel Mary,
who won't get to go
to school near or far.
Tiny little angel Mary,
no one gave you a chance
to wish upon a star.
Tiny little angel Mary,
your life was not in vain
for you have touched many hearts.
We send you home
to be with your Father
who will cradle you l
ike the tiny little angel Mary-you are.

TAKING CARE OF ISABEL
I'm taking care of Isabel now.
Her life on earth is done.
Don't worry that her life was short,
seems it barely had begun.
You might not comprehend it
but Isabel did just fine.
The plan for little Isabel’s life
was a plan of hers and mine.
Isabel was very courageous,
like I knew she would be.
She did just like I asked then
she came back home to me.
She sends her love to you.
It's meant for all to share.
She's laughing with me here
while blessing you down there.

Lovely boy why did you leave?
Did you hear someone
calling from above?
God understood how special you were
so he took your hand and
guided you to help him
in his beautiful world beyond.
Now you can watch us and see
how you have touched so
many people here on earth,
Only time will tell when we will
finally meet our angel Craig.

BRENDON
You are small but you're so powerful.
You've changed so many lives.
Just months or days you stayed here
So why do we all cry?
You came to help us see things,
In a very different light.
You taught us to appreciate
the daytime and the night.
Apprieciate the friends we have.
Appreciate our lives.
To not take time for granted,
or our husbands or our wives.
We want to thank you, Brendon,
For helping us to see,
There's plenty to be grateful for;
The stars, the moon, the sea.
We'll spend our time much better
And try to be more wise.
Because a child named Brendon
Helped open up our eyes.

GRACE
Like a bright ray of sunshine
created in the eye of God's mind
"YOU" are envisioned a "Special Angel"
with many blessings from above,
cradled forever
in His everlasting love.

JOHANNA
Today, I will not be saddened.
Instead, I will find beauty in the world around me.
Though clouds drift above me,
the sky remains a brilliant blue.
The blossoms, while fading, still smell sweet.
The breeze feels cool against my skin.
Today, I will not be saddened.
Instead, I will relent to
the grassy hilltop that pulls me
To stand amid the green and announce to all:
"The world is a better place
Because Johanna was in it."
Today, I will not be saddened.
Instead I will remember
That the greatest joys are found
in the simplest blessings,
And love communicated
In the briefest of moments.
Today, I will not be saddened.
Instead I will choose to be faithful.
For Johanna's eyes,
Which saw too little of the beauty of this world,
Now look upon the face of God.

Thank you for coming into our lives;
Thank you for sharing your short time,
Because of you we love so much more,
Because of you we cherish Mercy.
Forever in our hearts you'll always be,
Forever in our lives you'll always stay;
Even though you did, too soon depart,
We will remember you always
Forever in our hearts.
We wish that things could have been different
We wish we could hear your first coo
We wish we could see your first toothless smile
We wish we that we could have saved you.
You've touch more lives than you will know
And your life has changed us so
We promise we won't let this be in vain
And we'll do our best to heal the pain.
Forever in our hearts you'll always be
Forever in our lives you'll always stay
And even though you did, too soon depart you are
Forever in our hearts, Mercy babe.

Oh, tiny heart,
So simple and so pure
Fly now
On swift wings of light
At last,
to heaven's door

EDNA
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
You are the one who came into my heart.
Now you are as gentle as the night sky,
now you should open your wings and
flutter away to where you should be.

FELIZ
No one knew me and you came to care
I am happy that you are here.
I asked to be touched,
then you came along -- You mean so much,
your touch warms my heart
and will keep me alive.
I will thrive now, no longer gone.
I am happy I was born
I will be above the skies –
above you, the sea, the sand.
I am in the sun doing all things fun.
I am alive again to play and to know
that you came to touch me when I was alone.
