    CANDICE
    We thought of you with love today,
    But that is nothing new.
    We thought about you yesterday,
    And days before that too.
    We think of you in silence,
    We often speak your name.
    Now all we have is memories,
    And your picture in a frame.
    Your memory is our keepsake,
    With which we’ll never part.
    God has you in his keeping,
    We have you in our hearts.
    If we could bring you back again,
    For one more hour or day.
    We’d express all our unspoken love;
    We’d have countless things to say.
    If we could bring you back again,
    We’d say we treasured you.
    And that your presence in our lives,
    Meant more than we ever knew.
    If we could bring you back again,
    To tell you what we should.
    You’d know how much we miss you now,
    And if we could, we would.

    Everyday in some small way
    Memories of you come our way.
    Though absent, you are always near
    Still missed, loved and always dear.

  3. Dad says:

    Candida
    You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
    Given to us from God above.
    We didn’t know how much you would teach us
    About the meaning of true love…
    For true love sometimes means letting go
    Of someone precious and dear.
    That is what we were forced to do…
    Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
    However, this is quite a selfish wish.
    One we know we should ignore…
    But Candice we truly do believe
    That God must have needed you more…
    Perhaps to be an Angel now,
    Full of wisdom and love…
    Watching over those of us who love you
    From the shining stars above.
    We miss you more than you can know.
    You will never be replaced…
    In our hearts and memories forever,
    Will be your sweet face.
    Love Mom & Dad

    We miss you in so many ways,
    We miss the things you used to say,
    And when old times we do recall,
    It’s then we miss you most of all.

    Love Mom & Dad

  5. Daddy says:

    There is always a face before me,
    A voice I would love to hear,
    A smile I will always remember,
    Of a daughter I loved so dear.
    Deep in my heart lies a picture,
    More precious than silver or gold,
    It’s a picture of my Candida,
    Whose memory will never grow old.
