  1. In Memory of Our Daughter Candice
    Her eyes were dim and glassy as she gazed into the sky,
    She knew she was getting weaker; she knew that she would die.
    The Lord wrapped his arms around her and took her by the hand;
    He said “Come with Me, my darling, to God’s Eternal land.
    The months have passed so quickly and still we miss you so,
    There are times we can hardly wait till it’s our time to go.
    We know God picks the time and place to take our loved ones home,
    But it is so hard to accept the loss when it is one of your very own.
    We know others have lost their loved ones and this we can’t explain
    And we know it must break God’s heart to see his children in such pain.
    We cannot judge what happens when tears and questions start,
    We only see what is visible, but God sees into the heart.

    Your dreams didn’t get accomplished, you didn’t get to raise kids,
    But you left a lasting impression on all you said and did.
    You are now our special angel, and as for daughters, we still feel we have three,
    Cause you are still a special part of our family.
    Our smiles try to hide our heartaches and we say we are doing fine,
    But to those who have experienced death know how it changes you in time.
    Family dinners aren’t as much fun without you there;
    You had that extra little touch to make them special everywhere.
    To some you are forgotten, to others just a dream,
    But to us who love and miss you those memories ripple like a stream.
    God looked around his garden and saw an empty space;
    He then took a look around the earth and saw your suffering face.
    He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest;
    God’s garden must be beautiful, because He only takes the best.

    Please always know we love you and no one can take your place,
    though’ many years can come and go your memory will never be erased.
    So when each day starts without you, we won’t seem so far apart,
    Cuz every time we think of you, you will be right here in our heart.
    So Jesus if you are listening in your home from up above,
    Would you kiss our darling daughter and give her all our love.
    Love Mom & Dad

  2. CANDICE, MY FOREVER ANGEL
    Where are you my Precious one I long to see your face?
    I need to kiss and hold you and never let you go.
    I cannot understand why someone so precious had to die.
    My heart it has stopped beating I don’t feel it anymore.
    Why God did you take my little girl so soon?
    Have I done something wrong to deserve this terrible pain?
    My anger keeps me going, it’s the only strength I have.
    Knowing that my angel was robbed of everything.
    She had everything to live for; 32 Years was not enough.
    And so I hope you understand why I sometimes question my faith.
    I wake up every morning hoping it was all a bad dream.
    Hoping that she’ll walk through the door and hug me once more.
    Why my Precious Daughter should never have left us that day.
    So every night even though I can’t see you, I hold and kiss your picture.
    Remember that my love for you is stronger everyday.
    For every time I lay down on my pillow I know you are next to me.
    Your arms wrapped around me wiping away my tears.
    LOVE DADDY

    When I lost my Daughter I lost a Friend
    We were very close youn know
    If only I could see her again
    Then I could tell her so.
    I loved her more than I even knew
    Our bond was beyond imagination
    Memories strengthened as she grew
    From her birth to her graduation.
    A parent should go before their child
    I pray that my heart will mend
    And have faith I will be reconciled
    With my Daughter and my Friend.

    Happy Birthday Candice
    Love Dad

    Happy Birthday Candice

    No cake or candles here today
    Or presents for you to open.
    Just love from your parents who want to say,
    Happy Birthday Candice, and that we’re hoping.
    Somehow you can see and know
    That we have not forgotten you.
    That we still remember, even though
    You’ve departed from our view.
    And if you come to us in our dreams
    And wonder why we care,
    It’s just because we want to show
    That a part of you is always near.
    You live within our memory’s heart
    And so you’ll always remain, though we’re apart.

    We love and miss you Candice,
    Mom & Dad

    CANDICE
    We know that you are at peace
    It helps so much to set our hearts at ease.
    We loved you more than anyone could know
    It hurt us so bad to have to let you go.
    We know God knows what’s best
    That’s why he put our baby to rest.
    We cry and think of you every day
    It just doesn’t seem fair for God to take you away.
    We’re trying to find comfort in all of our grief
    And it does help knowing you’ve found great relief.
    For now you are free from all suffering and pain
    So our great loss became your great gain.
    But we know baby, you are safe in God’s land above
    Where there is nothing but peace and love.
    We know that some day we all have to die
    It makes us so happy
    knowing you’ll be waiting for us in the sky.
    We love and miss you.

    Love, Mom and Dad
