We Will Remember You 

Author Unknown 

In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
We will remember you;
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We will remember you;
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
We will remember you;
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
We will remember you;
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
We will remember you;
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We will remember you.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
We will remember you.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We will remember you.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
We will remember you.
For as long as we live, she too shall live,
For she is now a part of us,
As we remembered you.

What i have learned  / Nanny Barbara
I've Learned That You Can Keep Going Long After You Think You Can't
I've Learned That Friends And Relatives Can Become Strangers, And Strangers Can Become Friends,
I've Learned That Ignorance Isn't An Excuse For The Lack Of Compassion
I've Learned That Some People Will Never, Ever, "Get It"
I've Learned That The Community Of Sorrow Is The Strongest Of All.
I've Learned That No Matter How Bad Your Heart Is Broken The World Doesn't Stop For Your Grief,
I've Learned That Your Life Can Be Changed In A Matter Of Minutes,
I've Learned That Some Of The People You Care Most About In Life Are Taken From You Too Soon,
I've Learned You Should Always Leave Loved Ones With Loving Words. It May Be The Last Time You See Them,
I've Learned That Love Isn't Measured By The Amount Of Time You Have With Someone,

To Jade's Mom  / Jen Phillips
I forgot that mother's day was earlier for you then it is for me here.  So I am sorry this is late and after mother's day.

I know how hard mother's day must have been for you for I have already been there.  A month and a half after I lost my daughter, I had to suffer through my first mother's day without her.  I thought it would be the hardest day but yet I made it through.  I like to thing I made it through because Emily was sending me her love and strength.  I am sure Jade has done the same for you.  In less then a month it will be one year since I lost my princess and I would love to tell you it gets easier but in all honesty it doesn't.  You just learn to cope and you learn to survive.  Everyday you wake up you will think about her and every night before you close you eyes you will think of her.  

I had people tell me time heals and you will eventually start living your life again.  I asked them how I was supposed to live my life when half of it is missing.  They responded you just do.  I think the only thing time does is make it longer since we have seen our angels.  It doesn't heal, but we do learn that there are people in our lives that we have to be strong for.  If my son weren't here I would have no reason to get up in the morning but he is my reason.  He is the reason I get out of bed and he is the reason I am strong.  I am sure it is the same for you.

I guess I just wanted to say that I hope your mother's day went as well as it could and I hope you survived it.  I am always thinking of you and your daughter.  I have e-mailed with your mom a few times and have learned so much about your daughter.  She sounds to be a perfect.  A perfect little angel.  

Our daughters were given to us to lighten our lives, to make us smile, to make us cry and to make us proud.  We were priveliged enough to be blessed with daughters who had hearts of gold and who changed our lives forever.   When the sun shines in your eyes thinks of it as Jade lighting the world with her smile and sharing her love with all who knew her.  I am sure our daughters have become friends and are helping each other through each day.  I am sure as much as we are missing them they are missing their mommies just as much.

Always in my thoughts and in my prayers

6 months and missing you more than ever  / Nanny Barbara
This Sunday 25th March it will be 6 months since we lost you. How we have all survived i do not know, each day someone who loves you has thought about you and cried, each night as we go to sleep we think about you, then we dream about you and wake up thinking about you.


This world is a much sadder place without you in it. Our lives are much sadder without you, our  are broken.

Time is not healing our pain, it is making us miss you more than ever. We would all do anything to have you back in our arms again.

Every breath we take, every move we make, we are missing you. 

Love and hugs

Speak Her Name  / Nanny Barbara


Don’t be afraid to speak her name,

I know things aren’t the same.

She lives in my heart, soul and mind,

It’s a kind of peace I find.

You and I have memories we share,

Don’t hide them, it’s not fair.

So don’t let silence become a game,

That would be such a shame.

I love it when we reminisce,

The days that I still miss.

Don’t be afraid that I might cry,

Don’t make me say good-bye.

When we talk about the past,

It helps make the memories last.

So be my friend so dear,

End the silence that I fear! Close

When i see you again  / Nanny Barbara
ONE DAY

I know you are always with me,
As the days go by.
I can feel your spirit in my heart,
And I will never say goodbye.

Every night I look up to the sky,
And wish upon a star,
Wishing you were here with me,
While I wonder where you are.

Every night I’ll make a wish
And one day it will come true.
The day my wish will be granted
Is the day that I see you.

The day when I see your pretty smile,
Is the day that I can once again say: “I love you”,
It will be the day I have been waiting for,
The day you say: “I love you too”.
Close

Missing you  / Nanny Barbara
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way we feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without Close

Jade we are missing you  / Nanny Barbara
No words I write can ever say
How much we miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows;
How we miss you, nobody knows! 
we think of you in silence, 
we often speak your name,
But all we have are memories
And photos in a frame.
No one knows our sorrow,
No one sees us weep,
But the love we have for you
Is in our heart to keep. 
We will never stop loving you
Deep inside our heart,
You are with us still.
There is a place in our heart
That no one else can fill;
We love you so, Jade
And we always will!! Close

Mum and Dad  / Nanny Barbara

Helpless.
They both feel helpless.
But they each seek their own roles.
They have to find a way to cope,
To soothe their shattered souls.
He wants to take away her pain,
And make her safe once more.
She wants to share her tears with him,
Bare herself to the core.
He wants to make it better,
And he wants to be assured,
That everything will be okay.
That their love has endured.
He wants to talk some more about their child who has died.
She thinks that she's done something wrong,
And that is why he sighed.
She's crying once again,
And she won't get out of bed.
He sees her journal perched a top all those books she's read.
She sees him go to work and watch TV.
She wonders how he does it,
How he has the energy.
But sometimes,
There's a moment,
When they're both on the same plane.
Sometimes,
For just a moment,
Their grief seems just the same.
It's in those small shared moments that they need so very much,
That they find each other reaching,
That they find each other's touch Close

My first christmas without you  / A. Very Proud Mummy
My first christmas without you sweetheart i am not looking forward too, but i have to make an effort for James and Amy. I have found it so hard to go out christmas shopping without seeing something that you would have loved and that i wanted to buy for you. It didnt seem right buying gifts but nothing for you. I just wanted to lock myself away, curl up in  a ball and forget about it all. But i know in my heart you wouldnt want me to do that and that you would want me to make it a good christmas for Amy and for her to have lots of nice presents. So thats what im gonna do but a moment wont pass that i wont think of you and wish that you were here with us, ripping open the presents and getting excited and then choosing which beautiful outfit to wear, but it didnt matter what you wore to me because you always looked beautiful baby. I miss your hugs and kisses so much and would give anything for some now. Its christmas day and i want to run into your bedroom and wake you up and tell you father christmas has been but i cant and the pain is unbearable. So to get me through the day i have to believe you are having fun in heaven and watching over us and that you keep blowing me kisses and i will catch everyone my special little girl who i love so much. xxxx Close

More alike then we realize.....  / Jen Phillips (A visitor )
First let me say how very sorry I am to hear about your loss.  I can imagine how hard this christmas will be, because I too am spending my first christmas without my daughter.  No amount of words will make it any easier.  Just know that your daughter will be looking down on you this christmas sending you all of her love.  

Jade's grandma found my daughter's site which led me to yours.  I was looking at your pictures and even though the girls lived so far away from each other they had much in common.  There is a picture of Jade on the carousel in Port Dalhousie, a place Emily loved to go in the summer.  I read about Jade and all of things she was my Emily was as well.  

It is funny looking at someone so young and seeing the way they are.  How do they learn to be so giving and loving to people even ones they don't know.  I think it was the way they were brought up.  They were raised with love and respect which showed when they were around others.

I am sure our girls are hanging out and having a great time.  I am sure they were friends right away and if I know my Emily she has shown Jade all the cool places to play.  

Tomorrow when you wake up know that Jade will be sending you all her love and kisses from heaven to you and your family.  My prayers and thoughts are with you and I will be thinking about you tomorrow.  

Merry Christmas Jade!!!

My deepest sympathy,
Jen

OUR LITTLE ANGELS!  / Liane Connors ((A Visitor) )
I did not know you or your family, but with looking over another little girls memeorial site brought me to yours.  So many little angels are taken needlessly from this place on earth, and families suffer and try to deal with the pain this all brings.  It is not an easy task but we try to stay strong for the other little ones that are still with us.  

During this time at Christmas, mat memoies fill your hearts and never let go of what times you have shared.

My friends daughter, Emily Philips was also taken suddenly at the age of 7 and I know it has been very difficult for everyone, but I think these little angels now keep sending their strength to us who need it the most.

I am very sorry for your loss and as time goes by, may the strength be with you and your family to be able to take one day at a time.

With sympathy,

Liane Connors Close
