| In Memory of Josephine Bethany 16-12-02 to 11-02-03 Who went to Heaven a Year Ago Today |
| Another year older, a little bit stronger, a lttle bit wiser than a year ago today. Looking back over my shoulder, I was so much younger then, I can't believe what happened a year ago today. And I just can't forget it, or it wouldn't mean a thing. You went away a year ago today. Another year gone by, only tears have run dry, life seemed so unkind a year ago today. And I just can't understand it, and I don't think I ever will, you went away a year ago today. And how many times have I questioned myself, I say it to myself and I say it again, love will never end. And though your so far apart, forever your in my heart. Another year older, a little bit stronger, on this anniversary, your watching over me. You went away a year ago today, a year ago today.

| A very special little girl arrived in Heaven a year ago today. She has her mum's beautiful smile and bouncing curls, she's perfect in every way. She slept peacefully with her eyes closed as the angels carried her through the sky. As Jesus wrapped her in His big strong arms, not one tear slipped from her eye. For she knew her mummy loved her so much, she knew her mummy's heart. She knew that one bright day, her and her mummy would never be apart. As she peered down from heaven, she watched her grief stricken mummy cry. The little girl tugged on Jesus's arm and said "Please, tell her it's not goodbye". "Tell her that I love her so much, and I'm always going to be with her forever and ever. Let her know we're never really separated because our two hearts beat together". Jesus smiled gently and said "Yes, my precious child you are right and that is true". "For you and your mum are one I see, you are part of her and she is part of you". "She cries because she misses you, yes child she wanted you so much. "She aches to hold you, hug you, kiss you and feel your gentle touch". The little girl said "Father God I miss her too, please wipe away mummy's tears let her know Father God that I love her more than anything as I know she loves me. Please assure her I am with her always, let loose her chains and set her free". God smiled and said "You are just like your mum, so loving, brave, and so strong". She shyly said "Thank you, I know me and her will be together again before long". Jesus nodded His head and said "Yes child, and she can't wait to see your face, until then let me introduce you to all the other angel babies in this perfect place". "One more thing" she said with big wide eyes as she looked up at her maker "Do I have a name?" she asked, "Yes my child, a special name one your mummy picked herself...you are Josephine Bethany".
