| Little Angels When God calls little Children to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child Who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold, So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, Still somehow we must try. The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye" So when a little child departs, we who are left behind Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find. |
| The next one was read and written by Kodys great aunt Paula Gods idea included me. He chose my parents so lovingly. He sighed. He breathed his life in me. And that is how I came to be. I reached out to grasp the hand, Of all those who loved me throughtout this land. Closely, closely, your arms held me so, Withdrawn too soon, for its time to let go. thanks you mother and father for loving me well. you gave me life, so sweet it was if only for a brief spell. Please dont despair, My path has led to peace and light. I'm your little angel and shall always rest within Gods' sight. Written in loving memory of Kody Lynn May By Paula Holloway |

| Go into the light Kody, Where those who have gone before you wait with anticipation of feeling your presence and will welcome you with open arms. Combined with laughter and feelings that are the happiest that could possibly be felt by anyone on earth or in heaven. Kody there is no pain or suffering. Sadness is an absolute impossiblitlity. When you enter the light, you will see you Grandpa Paul waiting so ever patientily for his very special granddaughter, to forever push along the streets of heaven in his light green laundry basket. Those that are still on earth will certainly miss you deeply and long for your sense of specialness. But you will live in our hearts and spirits. You are the reason that all people who know you were somehow brought closer to each other. taken part from a book and the other written by Shay Crabtree in loving memory of my very own precious baby angel. I love you Kody Lynn and you will always live on in my heart forever. Your Grandmother |
| Pennies from Heaven I found a penny today just laying on the ground but it's not just a penny the little coin i've found Found Pennies come fron heaven that's what my Grandpa told me oh, how I loved that story He said when an angel misses you they toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up make a smile out of your frown. So don't pass by that penny when you're feeling blue it may be a penny from heaven that an angel's tossed to you. written by C Mashburn |
| This was written to my daughter Katie from one of her very good friends who has a daughter close to the same age as Kodys. The friends name is Jody and she and Katie thought that their girls would grow up to be very close friends just like they are and have been most of their lives. I Know I'm only 6 months old but I was going to be one of Kodys friends and my mommy has been really sad because Kody is in Heaven now. lm not old enought to feel sad but I am sorry you lost her. Babies come from God in Heaven and God chooses the babies parents and He chose you to be Kodys Mommy and Daddy because he knew you would give her the most love possible in the 6 weeks she got to be here. Even thought shes in Heaven now having fun she must still miss you. I know I miss my mommy and Daddy when I'm not with them. Kody was really lucky to get the two of you because she got more love in her 6 weeks than some babies get there whole lives. I know there isn't much I can do since I am still too little but Just know that I'm sorry you lost her and I'm sad I lost a friend. Love Jenna written for Jenna by her mommy and Katie friend Jody |
| When No Words Seem Appropriate I won't say, "I know how you feel"--- because I don't. I've lost parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends, but i've never lost a child. So how can I say i know how you feel? I won't say,"you'll get over it----because you won't. Life will have to go on. The washing,cooking, cleaning, the common routine. These chores will take your mind off your loved one, but the hurt will still be there. I won't say,"Your other child will be a comfort to you"----because they may not be. Many mothers I've talked to say that after they have lost a child, they easily lose their temper with their remaining child. Some even feel resentful that they're alive and healthy when the other child is not. I won't say,"Never mind, you're young enough to have another baby"---because that won't help. A new baby cannot replace the one that you've lost. You may hear all these platitiudes from your friends and relatives. They think they are helping. They don't know what else to say. You will find out who your true friends are at this time. Many will avoid you beacuse they can't face you. Others will talk about the weather, the holidays and the school concert but never how you're coping. So what will I say? I will say,"I'm here. I Care. Anytime. Anywhere." I will talk about your loved one. We'll laugh about the good memories. I won't mind how long you grieve. I won't tell you to pull yourself together. No, I don't know how you feel---but with sharing, perhaps I will learn a little about what you are going through. And perhaps you'll feel comfortable with me and find your burden has eased. Try me.

| Mothers Heart I loved you from the start. you stole my breath, embraced my heart. Our life together has just begun. You're part of me my little one. As mother with child, each day I grew. My mind was filled with thoughts of you. I'd daydream of the things we'd share, Like late-night bottles and teddy bears. Like first steps and skinned knees, Like bedtime stories and ABCs I thought of things you'd want to know, Like how birds fly and flowers grow. I thought of lessons I'd need to share, Like standing tall and playing fair. When I first saw your precious face. I prayed your life be touched with grace. I thanked the angels from above. And Promised you unending love. Each night I lay you down to sleep, I gently kiss your head and cheek. I count your little fingers and toes. I memorize your eyes and nose. I linger at your nursery door. Awed each day I love you more. Through misty eyes, I dim the lights, I whisper"I love you" every night I loved you from the very start, You stole my breath, embraced my heart. As mother and child our journey's begun, My heart's yours forever little one. Author Unknown To my precious daughter that was so loved and wanted. Our life together was cut short but you will live forever in my heart! Love you mommy |
