HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN HEAVEN... / IRENE MOMMY TO ANGEL KAYLA XAVIER 4EVER (JAN. 24, 2009 )
Dear Paul God bless you and all those that love and miss you so much...love always...Irene, mommy to angel..Kayla Xavier ..forever.
Dear family.. when you miss that your heart hurts, look around....and you will see me.I'm the morning sun that will kiss your face....I'm the breeze that very gently will make your hair move...I'm the soft rain that will be saying to you that I miss you too...I'm the sunset that will tell you that I'm happy and in peace....love always...Irene mommy to angel...Kayla Xavier...forever.
Oh Great Spirit / Melissa (Daughter) Oh Great Spirit, Whose voice I hear in the wind, Whose breath gives life to the world, Hear me! I come to you as one of your many children. I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom. May I walk in beauty. Make my eyes behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things that you have made, And my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may know the things That you have taught your children-- The lessons that you have hidden in every leaf and rock. Make me strong, not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy: myself. Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes, so that When life fades as the faded sunset My spirit will come to you without shame

When tomorrow starts without me. / Melissa (Daughter)
When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could re-live yesterday Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you." Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
Grandpa I Love You / Christy (Grandaughter) I Love you Grandpa. I am now 5. You are my Grandpa and you died. Our family still loves you. My heart makes me feel you. You took me on a snow ride. It was fun. You are my Grandpa I Love You.
It still makes me sad When I think of my Dad I miss him each and every day But I know the time will come When my own children will Wonder why I went away Maybe we're not meant to understand Till we meet up in the Promised Land.
I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer and reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare you could read quite a story in the caluses and lines years of work and worry had left their mark behind
I remember daddy's hands how they held my momma tight and patted my back for something done right there are things that i've forgotten that I loved about the man but I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong Daddy's hand weren't always gentle but I've come to understand there was always love in daddy's hands
I remember daddy's hands working til they bled sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed If I could do things over, I'd live my life again and never take for granted the love in daddy's hands
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong Daddy's hand weren't always gentle but I've come to understand there was always love in daddy's hands
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong Daddy's hand weren't always gentle but I've come to understand there was always love in daddy's hands
I still look for you / Melissa (Daughter)
I still look at motorcycles coming down the road, Somehow I think I may see you there...Always on my mind forever in my heart. I love you Close

Hold every person close to your heart / Melissa (Daughter)
Never take someone for granted Hold every person close to your heart Because you might wake up one day And realize that you've lost a diamond While you were too busy collecting stones.
Tim turned 19 today, Time goes by so fast, It seems like just yesterday he was a baby in my arms, Now he is all grown, Graduated from High School and enrolled full time in College. He is going to nursing school. You would have been so proud of him and all he has done with his life. And all he plans to do.
He is still having a hard time dealing with you being gone. He told Mom the other day he is not ready to come to the cemetery, But I come all the time. He feels it means he was not very close with you, and regrets not having to time to get closer to you. I have to help him understand that just because he can't come to the cemetery that it does not mean he was not close to you or loved you any less. That everyone has there own way of dealing with losing someone they love, And when the time is right for him, He will be able to come visit with you.
He loves you so very much Dad, Watch over my baby boy and keep him safe.
I love you and miss you more then words could ever say.
Having you gone has been so very hard for all of us to deal with. You are missed so very much. I guess the saying that you never really know what you have until it is gone is true. I always took it for granted that you would be here for a very long time, But God seen things differently.
Some days go by as usual and I begin to think that I am over the loss. But the truth is I don't think amy of us will ever get over the loss, It will always be there. It may become over time a little easier to deal with, But the loss will always be there.
The sad days of you not being with us out weigh the days that we call good by far. There are days when I cry and the loss seems so unbearable. But then there are days when little things happen that make me realize that even though you are gone, You are still very real and with us always.
I was playing scrabble on line yesterday, And when my letters popped there was your name. PAUL! although it would not work as a word in the game, I actually smiled and said to myself Dad is here with me watching over me.
Then as the day went on I knid of forgot about that, Until I went over to the house to help Bettie with her computer. The e-mail address keeps coming up pthomas14! I then began thinking about my scrabvble game and your name PAUL! Being there. And I once again though WOW God is really trying to tell me something! You are here with all of us. And to me these signs mean that you will never really be far from any of us.
I am sure some people may say I am out of my mind, Or I am making a big deal out of nothing. I supose they could be right. But I beleive those people don't fully understand the power of God.
Thank you for watching over us. And for finding ways to let us know that you are still with us in spirit. YOU truely are Our Gardian Angel. I miss you and Love you so very much.
Holidays & Grandpa / Melissa (Daughter)
The holidays were hard this year. I cried for several days. But I some how made it though.I never dreamed that I would loose you so early in my life and pray it is all just a bad dream that I will wake up from. All I want is to have you here with me. It is still so very hard to beleive that you are really gone. I miss you and love you so very much.
Greg and I got Grandpa to Florida, I could see the pain in his eyes every time someone at the camp ground would say I am sorry for your loss. The tears in his eyes, the sound in his voice was so very hard to deal with. I was strong for him just like I know you would want me to be. He has been though so much in his life. He is a strong man. You expect to maybe out live a spouse or sibling, Even that is had to deal with. But you never expect to out live your child. I don't know how he has done it. That has to be the worst pain anyone could ever go though in their life.
Look down on us Dad and let us know you are still with us and watching over us. (Christy says you are our gardian angel) And you are.
