Chynna Dickus

Chynna
It's been only two years now
That you were taken away from me,
My one and only precious daughter
Murdered by some cruel soul now free.
Being brutally stabbed to death
On that dreadful July day,
It breaks my heart more than anyone could know
My precious Chynna was taken away.
Time will never heal the pain I feel
Every moment my heart still aches,
I think about you with every moment
And with each breath I take.
How I wish you were still with me
I remember how you loved butterflies,
I find myself still calling out to you
But your sweet voice now has no reply.
My life is now very difficult
As things will never be the same,
Birthdays and Christmas while giving out gifts
I wish I could still call out your name.
I can remember holding you in my arms
As a baby, for the very first time,
Who would have known that this short time later
The pain in this heart of mine.
Remembering many years ago
When you were just a child,
I'd hold you gently against my breast
And rock you for a while.
I remember when I'd stroke your cheeks
And wipe away your tears,
I'd hold you close with my loving arms
And gently calm your fears.
I am so sorry this had to happen
This was a senseless and brutal attack,
How I wish I could go back in time
And bring my precious daughter back.
I want you to know Chynna
How much I've always loved you,
And you'll live on in my heart forever
This my precious child is true!
I love you and miss you!

Love, Mom

In loving memory of my precious daughter

Krysta & Dave
This rocking chair I give to you
Is not your average chair,
Mom used it to rock her little ones
While giving us tender loving care.
This chair is very special

And unique in it's own way,
That's why I wanted you to have it
So in the family it will stay.
This chair holds precious memories
It rocked my Caitlyn and Austin too,
So the time has come to pass it along
To rock your precious Gavin too!
As you rock your precious baby
And sing him lullabys,
Remember Mom used this rocking chair
Right up till the time she died.
You now can rock your little one
Just like she used to do,
This chair will be cherished forever
As I now pass it on to you.
Every time you sit and rock
In this special rocking chair,
Use it and feel her presence
Mom's memory will always be there.
Love, Cristina

Fishing Holes In Heaven

Fishing Holes In Heaven
When I Got To Heaven
I Wanted You To Know
I Found A Fishing Hole My First Day Here
And It Has Set Me All Aglow
All The Things I Had On Earth
I Have Here In Heaven Too
Even That Worn Out Body I Had
I Now Have One Brand New
I Can't Help Myself But To Think Of You
Wishing You Were Here
But Please Don't Worry About Me
I Don't Want You To Shed A Tear
When The Time Comes That You Join
Me This Day I Do Await
I'll Have My Fishing Pole In Hand
And Be Waiting By Heavens Gates

In Loving Memory Of Ahsley Dawn Nelson

When we see a butterfly
We know that it is you,
Just stopping by to say "Hello""
And helping us to get through.
How you say, can we be sure
That it is you, our precious one?
What will happen in wintertime
When the butterflies no longer come?
It was then, you left your charm bracelet
But only parts had been left intact,
The butterfly, and two hearts
"I'm still here, Daddy, that's a fact!"
Just stopping by to say "Hello"
Always here to help us through,
Never forget what you mean to us
And how much, "We Love You!"

In Loving Memory Of

NAME
You Are Such A Wonderful Person,
Sent As An Angel From The Heavens Above,
So Kind Sweet And Caring,
With A Heart So Filled With Love.
You've Now Spread Your Wings And Taken Flight,
For This You Are Truly Blessed,

And In Everything You Do Your Best.

And Not One Thing Will Be Left Undone.
We Want You To Know You're Wanted And Needed,
More Than You'll Ever Know,
For This Reason, We Wanted You To Know,
How Much We Love You So!

Message In A Bottle

Our Friendship Song
There Is A Song Of Friendship
That Dwells Deep Within My Heart
I Know God Had His Hand On Us
As He Planned This From The Start
You've No Idea What You Mean To Me
You're My One And Only True Friend
You Understand My Ups And Downs
And Have Helped My Heart To Mend
You're The Only Friend I Have
With Who I Can Share My Hurts And Pains
I Hope You Know If You Ever Need Me
That I Will Listen Just The Same
God Knew Just What I Needed
To Brighten Up My Days
Our Hearts Now Bound Together
Through Serious Work Or When At Play
God Put Us Together To Become True Friends
And Sisters From The Heart
He Heard My Plea As I Was Needing You
For This Reason We'll Never Part
I Want You To Look Inside Your Heart
And Understand You're Never Alone
I'm So Thankful Now That I Found You
As We Now Have Our Friendship Song

Thanks For Your Friendship,
YOUR NAME

Happy Anniversary Mary & Benjy

A Forever Love
A forever love is being with someone you cherish
And sharing your joys each day,
Your love growing stronger with each passing minute
While going along your way.

You've made precious memories throughout the years
On each other you could always depend,
Always remember you have one another
Anytime you're needing a friend.

You raised two fine and precious boys
For this you have made God proud,
God knew from the beginning the life you would live,
From the moment you said your vows.

You can share your heartaches and also your dreams
And maybe a few tears too,
Just remember those few simple words
At the time when you said " I do."

Happy Anniversary
Mary & Benjy Varnell
June 21

Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
