I lost my little sister at the age of 6 years old to Neuroblastoma, which was very rare in 1959.
June 20, 1952 ....May 31, 1959

" Little Sister "

You were just a little angel
Sent from heaven above.
Even at the age of six
You had a heart filled with love.

I was very young at the time
And didn't really understand,
That you had to leave so soon
To go to a greater land.

I didn't know that sunday
God planned to call your name.
You knew I loved you dearly
And today I feel the same.

You left this world behind you
As you entered Heaven's door.
You knew how much I needed you
But God needed you even more.

I remember the day of the funeral
You were dressed in your best.
You look like an angel sleeping
But you were at eternal rest.

Though you're no longer with us
Your memory still lives on.
But I think of you so often
It's hard to believe you're gone.

Saying goodbye is never easy
But I didn't get to say it then.
So goodbye and I love you
" Until we meet again.
"

I lost my oldest brother to Brain cancer
Dec. 19, 1941..........March 26, 1988

"My Brother"

Oh brother how I miss you
With Christmas drawing near.
But in my heart you're with me
And I'll always hold you dear.

I knew you were getting tired
And seemed so scared that night.
So I put my arms around you
And whispered, It will be alright

With tearful eye I held you
And saw you slip away.
Although I loved you dearly
I couldn't ask you stay.

I get lonely without you
And miss you every day,
Life doesn't seem the same
Since the day you went away.

Every time I see your picture
You seem to speak and say,
Up here all my pain is gone
But We'll meet again someday.

I lost my Dad to bone cancer.
July 2,1916..........June 7, 1999

"Christmas Without Daddy"

How I wish I could see you daddy
At this special time of year,
Even though I can't explain it
It seems sometimes that you're here.

Theres so much I didn't tell you
While you were here on earth.
But I guess the most important thing
Is you knew of the saviors birth.

On Christmas, I'll light a candle
So you can look down and view.
Me telling at my family gathering
My most precious memories of you.

If I could see you one more time
I'd thank you for all you done.
All those times you gave your love
And taugh me about "Gods" son.

Daddy I hope you can hear me
From the Heavens up above.
Because all I want for Christmas
Is a little more of your love.
