ONLY YESTERDAY
by Tracy Gross

It's hard to believe
that nearly two years have gone by.

It seems like only yesterday...
that you were still at my side.

Only yesterday...
we were celebrating your sixteenth Birthday

Only yesterday...
I graduated from High School.

Only yesterday...
you were packing your bags for Sweden.

Only yesterday we had a huge fight.

Only yesterday...
you were laughing and smiling.

Only yesterday...
you were still alive,
But, yet it wasn't only yesterday...
that you died.

Now, two years have passed,
and I still can't believe
that this is Good-bye.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
by Tracy Gross

Here lies the best friend I ever had
The person who brought me joy and laughter
The person who brought me anger and pain.

Here lies the freed soul of a curious girl
Who was always sure to bring a smile to your face
Who always said and did the silliest things.

Here lies the empty dreams of a child, taken too soon
She had not yet begun to live
She had not yet traveled the world.

Here lies the untold truth, of why you had to go
Everyone has their own thoughts of the truth
Everyone knows no more than we do.

Here lies my little sister,
wrapped in the arms of the earth.
But, here does not lie her soul,
for it is floating free on the eagles wings.

BALLOONS FOR BECKY
written by Becky's sister Jenny and Niece Kayla

It has been a while since I have wrote, but Kayla reminded me of you again today. She wanted to know if Jesus was going to get mad if she sent you too many balloons? I told her I didn't think so and that I was sure that He liked getting the balloons too. For anyone reading this...my daughter Kayla (Becky's Niece she never knew), knows all about Becky and that she lives in Heaven with Jesus. Anyway, when ever Kayla gets a balloon with helium in it, she immediately wants to let it go so she can send it to Becky in Heaven. Today she told me that Becky is lucky to live with Jesus because she knows what a good man he is (she is learning in school about how Jesus died to save us). She is only 4 and she knows so much - she is right though, Becky is LUCKY.

I love and miss you 'lil sis!!!!!

TEARS IN HEAVEN
by Dave Kriesel

It is strange
How we are reminded of you
The littlest thing can spark our minds
Spark that flame and thoughts of you.

A puddle we step in
Or rain falling upon our head
Can remind us

You are now an angel, and for us your tears are now shed

Your tears come from heaven
And have fallen to the ground
To remind us in our everyday life
That you are a part of us and we are heaven bound

We remember your heart
Your smile
Your laugh
Your love that touched us all

And now we know
You are now an angel, and for us your tears now are shed

As time passes by
And our lives draw closer to you
May we always be reminded that

You are now an angel, and for us your tears now are shed

Love Always
David
