There's a lot of talk
about angels these days
and about all the things
people say they can do.
It's not always easy
to know what to believe,
but it certainly
would be nice to have
a few angels in our lives.
I picture them as being
near us day and night
and especially whenever
life seems trying and difficult.
Excerpt of a Hallmark Card written by Eva Allen-(my Mother's Aunt)
Given to us from my Mom
Today is Lucy's Birthday. But unlike most birthday's we don't celebrate with candles, cake, and balloons. Today we ponder and remember the few hours that we shared with her during her life on this earth. I always think about how perfect and beautiful her lips were. I wonder if she heard our voices, or if she could smell the beautiful perfume while in her Grandmother's arms. Did she know she was surrounded by people who loved her?
Every year on Lucy's birthday I like to go through her memory book and read the cards that were given to us by our friends and family. I can remember and feel the love and prayers that was shown and given for our family, and I am grateful for each one. It's wonderful to have such great support during a difficult time, and we couldn't have gotten thru it without your love. It is a comfort knowing that Lucy is in Heaven with our Savior, and that she will be a part of our family forever. I know that she is surrounded by family and friends that love her, and that she is with us in our hearts and our memories. We are fortunate to have a beautiful little angel watching over our family.
