We do not need a special day to bring you to our mind,
the days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone,
and no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow,
what it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can ever fill,
in life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.

Happy B-day sweetheart. I spent a couple of hours with you this morning and a couple hours this afternoon when Mom was with me. You know that we had a hard time, but being there with you is always comforting for me even though I might cry alot. We love you, Mom & Dad

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord, please pick a bunch for us.
Place them in our daughter’s arms, and tell her they’re from us.
Tell her We love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek, and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy, We do it everyday,
But there is an ache within our hearts that will never go away.

Candice
If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We’d pray to God with all our heart
For yesterday and you.
A thousand words can’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried.
And neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried.
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too,
We never wanted memories…
We only wanted you.

Dear Candice,
Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. I miss you so much. You would be so proud of Hunter : he is getting ready to graduate kindergarten & is playing baseball which he is really good at. So many things have changed since you’ve been gone. I’ve got an incredible man in my life & he loves Hunter so much. I wish you could meet him… but then again Im sure you had something to do with him coming into my life. I love you & I know youre always with us
