My deepest sympathy Sally, I know there aren't any words that can express your loss but know that we are all praying for you and those babies.  Know you are in the thoughts of others Who share with you, your loss and pain You have lost God's Sweet Gift of Mothers But together, one day with Him will reign.  At times like this it's sometimes hard
To find the words to say
My thoughts and prayers are with you now
While skies can seem so gray.
Please keep in mind that times will change
Though clouds now fill your sky . . .
That once again your sun will shine
As a new day draws nigh.
The Bible says when sorrow comes
It will endure the night.
But joy shall come when dawn breaks through
And fills your day with light.
Now keep your thoughts on Jesus' love
And how He hurts with you.
He'll shelter you while in this storm
Until your sun breaks through.

My prayers are with you.

"If tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and
find your eyes all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all that we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss some tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
but here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
and since each day is the same way,
There's no longing for the past.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart

Sally,  So sorry to hear about your son!  No words will help ease your pain ... but my prayers are that you are able to deal with this, if you need anything just ask!! Joy ~

Sally, I am so saddened to hear of the loss of your wonderful son. We are not meant to have our children go before us, I know the pain in your heart is unbearable. My wife Jan & I lost our daughter Shannon in a car accident eight years ago, she was our only child & we were devistated. The grief therapy road is long, difficult & never ending. You & your family are in our thoughts & prayers. If you would like to talk to someone who has been there, my email is USALT1@AOL.COM, & our website is http://www.angelfire.com/va2/Angelswhispers/index.html

Sally...

I am so sorry for your loss...
My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!

sally..we are all praying for you!!

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know

But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay

Oh Sally I am so sorry.  Hug those babies tight and remember you are in everyones thought and prayers.  Shelley

Sally, my families deepest sympathies are with you and your family. It is such a terrible loss. Our prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.

Sally, my son is 28 and my gradaughter 3.  I can't even imagine how I would feel with the gravity of your loss.  I lost my dad 8 years ago and I still mourn for him, not every day anymore, but it never goes away.  And that is not my child.  Your son's babies will help ease your pain.  Thank you God for giving Sally the gift of those children.  He will always be there because of them, but I don't have to tell you nothing will replace him.  I grieve for you and the children and you are in my prayers.  

With all of my heart felt empathy, and praying for your peace,

Dee

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need.  God Bless!

Sally,

No words can express the depth of your pain, nor can they convey fully the love and concern I feel for you in this terrible time.  Know that we are here with you, in our thoughts, hearts and prayers.  

Cindy

I am deeply sorry for the lost of your son,  I am 26 as well.  And I must admit that I fear of that same thing.  I am overweight.  And often wonder about it.  This definitely make me want to change my life and eating habbits.  Here is a poem that I found for you:


Saying Goodbye        
Thursday, 08 June 2006  
Go now, my child, the time has come.
All tasks today are done.
There are others waiting there for you,
And songs yet to be sung.
Go quietly, go softly,
Leave all pain and fear behind.
Today has left a part of you
In our hearts, our souls, and minds.
I’ll remember you, my dear one,
As I lay down to sleep.
I’ll remember that you made me smile,
Although, it makes me weep.
As you go to face your future,
As you go to touch the sky
Know that God makes all things possible,
Angels never die.
Go now, my child, the time has come.
All worldly tasks are done.
There are others waiting there for you,
And songs yet to be sung.

The Dash Poem

by Linda Ellis


I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end

He noted that first came her date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years

For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

Sally Im sorry for your loss - Please know that you are in our prayers. I know that it has been hard on you and will continue to be. God gave them to us and sometimes he wants them back before sooner than we want to give them up. Comfort in knowing that he is only gone in the body and his spirit will always be around you and his children. I believe this because my mother passed away in December of last year. I have an 8 year old grand daughter that I heard talking in her room one night. I asked what she was doing and she told me she was talking to her grandmother. I asked her what she was saying and she said nothing that I was just talking to her. I asked how she knew it was her and she said because I can smell her. Every now and then she will say grandma is here I can smell her.

I am very sorry for your loss.I too know of a young man around the same age who had a heart attack.Luckily,he did make it...As hard as it sounds right now,life will go on..Take it one day at a time and hug and kiss his babies as often as you can...Again,we are very sorry and you and yours are in our thoughts and prayers....God bless...

Nobody can ever understand how hard it can be to lose a loved one. Only the ones that are left behind. I can never imagine being in your shoes, and I pray that I never will be. I can only hope and pray that you are given strength from your own faith and love from the people around you, to carry you through this most horrible time in your life. I pray that your sorrows are lessened a little as each day goes on, and I pray that with each wonderful memory that you have of the time you spent with your wonderful child, you will be comforted a little more. His spirit will always be with you, and that, I hope will carry you. I wish for you peace and love and extend my deepest sympathy. Rosebon (zachiarose@aol.com)

I know I read this almost a week after it was posted, but I still wanted to say my condolences to you and your family.

Sally,
