sad/ PAULA Simmonds (NONE) i am very sorry for your loss,
You're Still Here / Mommy At the finest level of my being, you're still with me. We still look at each other, at that level beyond sight. We talk and laugh with each other, in a place beyond words. We still touch each other, on a level beyond touch. We share time together in a place, where time stands still. We are still together, on a level called Love. But I cry alone for you, in a place called reality.

The Horizon / Mommy
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud on the horizon, just where the sea and the sky come to mingle with one another. Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone." "Gone where?" Gone from sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at that moment when someone at my side says "There, she is gone.", there are other eyes watching her coming, And other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!" And that is dying

When Angels sense you need them, And Angels always do ... They come, unseen, from everywhere To help and comfort you.
They hover close beside you Till all your cares are gone, Till they can see you're ready Once again to carry on.
Then some of them may fly away And take their gentle touch, To other hearts that need The love of Angels very much.
But one, at least, stays with you As your constant friend and guide, For GUARDIAN ANGELS never leave, They're always at your side.

Way to early! / Chance Knight (cousin) I remember when i was staying with John and Jen, and Emma used to get up really early, way to early for me, and she would walk over to the couch where i was sleeping, and she would put her little hand on my face, and just shake it, untill i woke up. I am really sorry I couldnt have more "to early mornings".
Emma/ SAMMY
Until emma died I didn't know how it felt to lose someone close.I am only so sad because I didn't see so oftenand wish I could have seen her more .I miss you dearly and know now you are watching over us and protecting us.
Our Emma / LINDA KNIGHT (GREAT AUNT ) How Chance and I love and miss our Emma. All our thoughts and prayers have always been with you Jennifer and John. We talk to Emma so often it's as if she is still with us. Thank you both for giving us all such a precious Angel. We Love You. Aunt Linda and Chance.
Hope/ Carol White (great aunt )
Jen and John There is always that big question, "what could I have done, what should I have done". Truthfully I think you both did a great job, for as long as God let you have Emma. I really believe that the day that Emma was born, God also had a plan for her. She is now His beautiful little angel, and is with her heavenly family waiting to be with you for all eternity. Never give up hope you will be with her again.
God Bless both of you and we will continue to pray for you. As time goes on things get easier, but Emma will always be right there in you heart, and there will be hard days.
Emma/ Aunt Berlin
As I was driving down here I thought about what Emma has meant to me. I know she meant many things to you, her grandparents and other family and friends but to me she meant something I want to share with you.
To me, Emma was the spirit of joy made into a little girl. She experessed her joy in life so openly, without fear of holding back or fear of being "shushed". She gave her joy so freely to everyone she saw, and engaged us all in feeliing it too. To go into a restaurant with Emnma was an experience I would never want to have missed. She entranced everyone and engaged us with people we would we have missed noticing--the waitress, the people at the next table and the countless others she flirted with. Their lives and ours were changed, just for a moment, by sharing that joyfulness. She made us all more aware, more giving, more noticing of people we might have missed entirely and her generosity of spirit made us more generous, more aware of others who might be missing something, like a family who could not afford to order drinks for their children, or a harried waitress in need of a break.
Such joyfulness really does change us all, and we will never be the same person we were before we knew Emma. I am so grateful for having been even a tiny part of her life, and I love you for bring her into being and sharing her with us. We may feel we have lost her, but she will never be gone.
Tears are the Proof of Life / Mommy
"How long will the pain last?" a broken-hearted mourner asked me.
"All the rest of your life," I answered truthfully.
No matter how many years pass, we remember. The loss of a loved one is like a major operation; part of us is removed, and we have a scar for the rest of our lives. This doesn't mean that the pain continues at the same intensity. There is a short while, at first, when we hardly believe it. It is rather like when we have cut our hand, we see the blood flowing, but the pain has not yet set in. So when we are bereaved, there is a short while before the pain hits us. But when it does, it is massive in its effect. Grief is shattering.
Then the wound is healed, so to speak, the stitches are taken out...
The scar is still there, and the scar tissue, too. As the years go by, we manage. But the pain is still there, not far below the surface. We see a face that looks familiar, hear a voice that has echoes, see a photograph in someone's album, and it is as though the knife were in the wound again.
But not so painfully. And mixed with joy, too. Because remembering a happy time is not all sorrow; it brings back happiness with it.
"How long will the pain last?"
All the rest of your life.
But the thing to remember is that not only the pain will last, but the blessed memories as well. Tears are the proof of life. The more love, the more tears. If this be true, then how could we ever ask that the pain cease altogether. For then the memory of love would go with it. The pain of grief is the price we pay for love.
Being a Grandma / Peg Bishop (Grandma)
I thought being a mom was the best feeling in the world, until I became Emma's grandma! There's something about being a grandma - that love just fills you to overflowing. I loved our visits and our phone conversations. The last time Emma and I talked was 3 days before she died. When I told her I loved her, she dropped the phone. Jenn picked it up laughing and told me she dropped it so she could "sign" she loves me too!!! When we were down visiting in April, I could just see Emma turning into a little Jenn!! It was funny! I felt bad when Jenn made her sit in her time out chair. (Jenn used to have to sit in the corner or go to her room) Jenn wasn't bad, just had a mind of her own, and that was Emma too. And neither of them knew a stranger! They both would talk to anyone. I have lots of happy memories of Emma. They will have to hold me over until I see her again. Sometimes I feel her here. I know she visits from time to time. I will always be Emma's grandma, and she will always be my first grandchild. I miss her dearly, and now I understand what people mean when they talk about a broken heart. I'm just waiting for it to start to heal. I love you and miss you Emma. Grandma Close
