ANDREA

Thinking of you, little one as you wait!
Thinking of you precious one,
as you join Him under His wing!

O what wonderful rest you will now enjoy. 
All of your life trials are over!
Sheltered, protected, no evil will harm you.  

Resting in Jesus, you are safe EVERMORE.

SUNSHINE

If you could look around here
and see how many care
How many came to say good-bye
and see the tears we share
 
If you could look around here
and see how many came
To see one tiny baby
Be blessed in such a way.
 
If you could look around here
and see how touched we are
To have had you but for a moment
and given you are hearts.
 
If you could look around here
I know that you will see
that all of us came here today
to love and care for one tiny babe.

ISAAC


So much love and so little time. 
In my heart I wish you were mine
to hold and cuddle, keep safe and warm...
together to weather all of lifes storms.


I cried for you, wept a thousand tears.
My heart breaks for you
 at the loss of so many years. 
You are perfect in every way.
What a blessing we have been given
on your birth-day.


With skin so soft, you smell so sweet.
From the top of your head
 to the bottom of your feet.
In my heart you will always be. 

You will be remembered as one who should be.
When you look down from heaven above
 and see my face,
you will know that you are loved.

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.

PETER

Your soul touched down
on the earth at dawn.
You sparkled with the light of the sun
like radiant, faceted crystals glowing
in the warmth of the light.

Then God's rays stretched down
like long arms and gathered you up
to His heavenly kindom
to shine forever in the light of his world.

So every ray of warm light
that touches our skin
is your energy Peter,
shared with the universe
