From Auntie Laurie

hi sweet pea. auntie had a tough day today. i thought of you often. which i always do, but today may me sad. i always miss you too, but today i wanted you here. today was one of those days where i just can't stop the tears. words can't convey how much i long to see you. hold you. smell you. and most of all smother you with kisses. then cousin erin helped me a bit. you see she's been afraid of dying for a long time now. afraid that she never be alive on earth again. it really puts her into hysterics. we talk about it a lot. she had an episode the other night. so when i picked her up today from school she told me she had talked about you in religion class. sister rose asked if anyone had done anything they were really afraid too. she told sister she stood up in front of eveyone and read at your funeral. then she told me she had a revelation. that you were her guardian angel and her inspiration. if you were strong enough to leave and go to heaven, then she could be too. i feel and see you all around and know you are all of ours guardian angel.
smoochies and huggies and all of my love....

From "Original Aunt Laurie"

Today Emma Rose, as I was visiting with a friend who has four children I get to be a grandma for as their grandma lives far away in Ireland, Dee suddenly asked me about you, she has continued to pray, I smiled and talked about all that your family has shared with us in New York. I never did get to meet you. but you were and still are in my heart.
Love ,
The original Aunt Laurie

You can shed tears that she is gone,


or you can smile because she has lived.


You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,


or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.


Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,


or you can be full of the love you shared.


You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,


or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.


You can remember her only that she is gone,


or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.


You can cry and close your mind,


be empty and turn your back.


Or you can do what she'd want:


smile, open your eyes, love and go on.


God Bless
