This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, DENNIS "JB" ANTHONY who was born in South Carolina on June 10, 1983 and passed away on October 28, 2006 (in his loving wife's arms) at the age of 23. We will remember him forever. JB was a very strong individual,never wanting to give up...always believing and hoping for the best. (JB suffered with Cystic Fibrosis his entire life and now his struggle is over.)Well, he finally found the best when he married his loving wife,Alisha Lynn Anthony.The two were so perfect together...a match made in Heaven.
JB was a devoted Husband & Step Father to A LiL' Princess,Alexis Lynn.(To me ...there's no step in a Father's love)!He was full of life..He was a vivid gamer..He loved playin his xbox,He was a vivid fan of dragons,eagles,andwolves..Even though he had CF he never let that get him down...He loved life...He had a very strong sprit and his willpower was very strong as well..He had a heart of gold and would help anyone that needed his help...He was easy going and a very good listener..We will all miss Jb dearly and I ask you to please light a candle for his precious family to let them know you stopped by.Thank you for taking the time to visit & God bless you always!

Thank you so much this means so much to me!!!



The emptiness of midnight
The solitude of dawn
Looks upon the window of memories
No new one comes to bare
To open... brings only stale air

I wake to hear the echo of a pin drop
Our pool without your waves
The conversations we will not have
Your laugh I cannot create

No sound of your voice to calm my fears
Can?t feel the warmth of your love
Where is my smile of the angels
My sunrise that poured from your heart?

You are in the place the Angels call home
With a table that fits two
Now the table is set for one
The sound of my tears filling the glass
Instead of you

I watched as you closed your eyes for the last time
The curtain separates our stare
You called my name with your last breath
Sunrise quickly became sunset

The view of a nightmare became reality
As our tears combined on your cheeks
I heard the song our hearts played together
Except it was missing half the beats

Every morning I press my ear and bouquet
As near to your heart as can be
Waiting endlessly to hear you call my name
As my love's dew drops
Find their way down to thee

Endlessly looking for that table for two
I always find a table set for one
I listen for your key that never turns the lock
The feast... turns cold every night

Where is the sound of the voice that said, ?I do?
The hand I reach for in the dark
I wait patiently, ?I do?
For the eyes that captured my heart

The pictures of silence I cannot bare
Echoes of memories fill the air
I reach for my glass
Sip the tears of tears

While we listen and cuddle to our new melody
A song written on the face of destiny
Composed of just our tears
?Without you,? fills my home of despair
The lullaby I sing in my sleep, as I stare 


written by Alisha Anthony


















I ONCE HELD AND ANGEL,
AND I SWORE I'D NEVER LET GO,
BUT THEN GOD CALLED HIM TO COME HOME,
AND OPENED HEAVEN'S DOOR.

MY WORLD CAME CRASHING IN ON ME,
I'D LOST THE MAN I LOVED,
WE VOWED TO LOVE FOREVER,
BUT THEN A VOICE CALLED FROM ABOVE.

THE LORD SAID, "JB", I AM HERE,
YOUR WORK ON EARTH IS DONE.
IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO FIND THE PEACE,
THAT YOU SEARCHED SO LONG FOR, MY SON."

"I KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE GREATLY MISSED,
AND I KNOW THAT HEARTS WILL BREAK,
SO, I WILL LEAVE BEHIND YOUR MEMORY,
BUT YOUR SOUL, NOW, I MUST TAKE."

I CRY NOW FOR THE LOVE I LOST,
FOR THE ANGEL GOD CALLED HOME,
THE LOVE WE SHARED TOGETHER,
WAS LIKE NONE I'D EVER KNOWN.

YOUR EYES COULD LOOK RIGHT THROUGH ME,
AND YOUR HEART COULD SENSE MY PAIN,
AND YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE TO GUIDE ME,
AND KEEP ME SHELTERED FROM THE RAIN.

YOUR TOUCH WAS SOFT AND GENTLE,
AND YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN,
WHEN I WOULD STUMBLE OR I WOULD FALL,
YOU'D PICK ME UP OFF THE GROUND.

YOUR VOICE WAS MUSIC TO MY EARS,
AND YOU KNEW JUST WHAT TO SAY,
YOU'D GENTLY KISS MY LIPS AND SMILE,
AND TAKE ALL MY FEARS AWAY.

YOU GAVE ME FAITH, AND GAVE ME HOPE,
WHEN I THOUGHT IT ALL WAS LOST,
YOU GAVE ME STRENGTH AND COURAGE,
TO KEEP BELIEVING, AT ANY COST.

AND SO, NOW, I MUST CARRY,
ALL THESE THINGS YOU GAVE TO ME;
FOREVER IN MY HEART YOU'LL LIVE,
FOR ALL ETERNITY.

FOR YOU HOLD A PLACE INSIDE MY HEART,
THAT ALWAYS WILL BE YOURS,
AND I KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE WATCHING ME,
FROM HEAVEN'S OPEN DOORS.

SO, I CRY NOW FOR AN ANGEL,
WHO FINALLY MADE IT HOME,
FOR I ONCE HELD AN ANGEL,
AND AN ANGEL'S LOVE I'VE KNOWN






In tears we saw you sinking,

We watched you fade away.

Our hearts were almost broken,

You fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping,

So peacefully free from pain.

We could not wish you back JB

To suffer that again.











As I loved you, so I miss you;

In my memory you are near.

Loved, remembered, longed for always,

Treasured with a love sincere.

You are where I cannot see you,

And your voice I cannot hear;

Yet I know you walk beside me,

Never absent, always near 






















IT ONLY SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY SINCE YOU WENT AWAY,GOD CALLED FOR YOU TO EARN YOUR WINGS,OH HOW IT BROKE MY HEART THAT DAY!
AS TIME GOES BY I WONDER IF THINGS WILL GET ANY EASIER FOR ME...
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO AWAY,JUST TELL ME HOW CAN THIS BE?
LIFE CAN SEEM SO UNFAIR WHEN WE LOSE THE ONES WE DEARLY LOVE, YOU FIND YOURSELF WONDERING JUST WHAT YOU'RE WORTHY OF.
ONE MINUTE ALL YOU LOVE IS THERE AND IN AN INSTANCE IT'S ALL GONE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE YOUR MEMORIES,HOW CAN I CARRY ON?
I KNOW A PART OF YOU IS STILL HERE WITH ME AND WILL FOREVER BE,
INSIDE MY HEART I CARRY YOU AND ALL YOUR MEMORIES.
EACH TIME I FEEL I'M ALL ALONE & THAT YOU'RE FAR AWAY... I'LL LOOK INSIDE THIS HEART OF MINE,WHERE YOU'LL FOREVER STAY!
"WRITTEN BY DAWN ELMORE"...3-07-07

Thank You Dawn for writtin this its exactly the way I feel
Its a lovely poem





















Thank You Dawn,I love you




























Beside your grave I often stand

With heart both crushed and sore,

Silent till the sweet words come,

"Not lost, but gone before."

God knows how much I miss you,

He counts the tears I shed,

And whispers "He only sleeps,

Your loved one is not dead."

So I'll be brave dear JB,

And pray to God each day,

And when He calls me home to you,

Your smile will guide the way 






































Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this memory bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shead a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light 













A million times I've needed you

A million times I've cried,

If love could have saved you

You never would have died.

Things we feel most deeply

Are the hardest things to say,

My dearest one, I loved you,

In a very special way.

If I could have one lifetime wish

One dream that could come true,

I'd pray to God with all my heart

For yesterday and you
























































































A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO DELIA BEGGS(^j^ ALLAN TOMLIN)










A chance that I'd never hear your voice again,
the thought of such silence surrounding me,
wrapping me tight... it is almost suffocating to think.

I'd never want to miss a breath
that I would regret I missed in the end.
I swing silently in my thoughts
back and forth
remembering...

I imagine you filling my skin-
the spaces that have been empty for so long.
you, unfolding all of my fragile heart
then something strangles my tangled image.
slowly reality comes- so calm but so swift
that is takes my breath.
I surrender my thoughts.
by opening my eyes to see
I am only kissing the air.

The stillness grows heavy inside;
I race with no head,
no peice of mind to collect my heart.
outside, heavy shivers and a mask of denial
show an appearance of unreal and fake.

The hope is quickly swallowed back to the inside
then swelling up... which makes
pain drip off the tongue.
My stomach sickens because of fear.
sitting on my knees
in the small room
where the silent wall were screaming;
aware now that nothing else matters,
unwilling to accept that you're gone...
















LIKE A CACOON TURNS INTO A BUTTERFLY...THE SOUL LIVES ON,NEVER TO REALLY DIE!




























































































A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ROSEMARY!
















A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO LISA COPELAND!


















HOLD US UP, LORD

Lord, we know You're always busy, for You've many things to do, but when sorrow overcomes us, well, we need to talk to You.

For we've lost someone precious, and they're with You there above,and it's someone that we needed, and it's someone that we love.

We are feeling lost and all alone, and though we do believe, we need You, Lord, to hold us up, to help us while we grieve.

Please give us strength and courage, Lord, to bear what we must bear and nudge us when our faith is weak to remind us You are there.

Give us hope for our tomorrows, tell us life will still go on, show us, Lord, that all this darkness will be followed by the dawn.

You have led us through so many things, You've pulled us through before, hold us up, Lord, till we're through this and we are strong once more.

THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE...MY WEDDING DAY!























JUST FOR YOU,BABY!















Don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know
Don't tell me that I will survive, how I will surely grow.
Don't tell me this is just a test, that I am truly blessed
That I am chosen for this task, apart from all the rest.
Don't come at me with answers that can only come from me
Don't tell me how my grief will pass, that I will soon be free.
Don't stand in pious judgement of the bonds I must untie
Don't tell me how to suffer, don't tell me how to cry.
My life is filled with selfishness, my pain is all I see
But I need you, I need your love
Unconditionally.
Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share.
Just hold my hand, and let me cry and say
"My friend, I care

"AUTHOR UNKNOWN" 







If I could have one lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true;
I'd pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and you.

A thousand words wont bring you back,
I know because I've tried.
Neither will a thousand tears,
I know because I've cried.

You left behind my broken heart,
And happy memories too.
But I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you








A MOMENT TO TREASURE FOREVER!












"Hugs From Heaven "

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

by Charlotte Anselmo 

















You Didn't Go Alone

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For all my love went with you,
The day God took you home.

JB WAS NEVER ABLE TO BARE CHILDREN OF HIS OWN AND THAT'S THE ONE THING HE ALWAYS WANTED(WELL,GOD SURE DOES PRODUCE MIRACLES)!

YOU IN HER HEART FOREVER!!!!!




OUR LIL' PRINCESS,ALEXIS!





Stepfathers are a rare breed
They are called upon to do the tough deeds
Saying "no" to the children when Mom wants to stay clean
Leaving you as the bad guy and also called mean.

No one stops to think of the love you have for the child
It's been going unnoticed for a long while
It's time we speak up and let others know
The children are also ours and we love them so.

In tough times moms reply "This is my child"
We don't retaliate because that's not our style
Yes, Mom, you gave them life, it's true
But we stepfathers gave our lives to them and to you.

Just remember we are grieving too
Maybe as much as you, yes it's true
Your tears may seem to come more frequently
But ours come mostly in secrecy.

This is because we are grieving for two
Our child and yes a life anew
We have lost our families and the life we once knew
It's unbelievable but unfortunately very true.

Just remember we love like you do
Deep in our hears and souls through and through
There is no "step" in a father's love
We are the guys God sent from above.

-by Wayne Bell

























His hands are cold, his face is white.
Lying so still you could hear a pin drop.
No more years to spend with him.
While sorrow fills the heart and air.

His eyes are shut to life and light.
Darkness is all he sees... now forever.
All will miss him.
OH, especially the sun (if you know what I mean).

But I know in my heart he was in pain.
I understand he is not now.
Because you, daddy, are free from the pain
Now, free... just like the wind.

So bye, daddy, I love you forever.
And I send you voilets.
So lay him where...
the violets BLOW!!










THANK YOU LISA COPELAND...SO MUCH!
















"MY ONE & ONLY TRUE LOVE











TRUE LOVE SENT FROM UP ABOVE...

Once upon a winter's night,
I laid in bed and held you tight.
You looked at me with open eyes,
the color of the evening sky...

"Soon will come a day, my love,
I'll watch over you from high above...
Don't shed a tear, no need to cry,
my love for you will never die."

The only thing I wanted was
the only thing you couldn't give...
Although my love was strong enough
I knew I couldn't make you live...

To face another bitter day,
Dreaming that somehow you'd stay,
I couldn't make you understand
you slipped out of my tiny hands...

Life in bloom, beside the rain
old love letters help ease some pain,
all that's left, some shirts, some pants,
some boxed up memories... "What is God's plan ?"

I pray each night
for God to help me see...
and to understand, "why?"
he took my guardian angel from me...










VOWING TIL' DEATH DO US PART...








THE DAY I BECAME MRS.DENNIS LEE ANTHONY






































MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME SINCE THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME,I TRY TO SEE THE BEST IN THINGS AND LET MYSELF GO ON. EACH MINUTE OF THE DAY IS A STRUGGLE WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE,I WANT TO RUN SO FAR AWAY-I NEED A PLACE TO HIDE. I SIT AND WONDER WHY THIS HAD TO BE,FOR I FINALLY FOUND THE PERFECT LOVE,YOU WERE THE ONE WHO COMPLETED ME ...MY ANSWER FROM GOD ABOVE. GOD SAW FIT TO JOIN TOGETHER TWO LIVES ONCE TORN APART,HE MENDED ALL THE PIECES WHEN HE GAVE TO ME YOUR HEART.DEATH SHALL NEVER BE THE END,NOR STOP MY LOVE FOR YOU-FOR YOU WE'RE ONLY APART A LIL' WHILE...TIL' I SHALL JOIN YOU TOO. PLEASE SEND TO ME YOUR COMFORT AND PLACE PEACE WITHIN MY SOUL-AS LONG AS YOU LIVE INSIDE MY HEART,I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO. SO,WHEN YOU SEE MY LYIN' IN CONSTANT PAIN AND ALL I DO IS CRY,KNOW ALTHOUGH I HAD TO LET YOU GO...I'LL NEVER SAY GOOD-BYE!
I LOVE & MISS YOU SO MUCH,JB!!!!!
(YOUR LOVING WIFE,ALISHA)





















Last night while I was sleeping, my Husband's voice I did hear

I opened my eyes and looked around,
But Jb  didn't appear

He said:
"Alisha, you've got to listen,you've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, he only took my hand

When I called out in pain that nigt, he instantly reached down,
took my hand and pulled me gently to his side,
lifted me up and saved me from all the misery and pain inside.
My body hurt so badly, I could never be the same

My search is really over now
I've found happiness within, all the answers to my empty
dreams and all that might have been

I love and miss you soooo very much, I'll always be near by
My body's gone forever
But my spirit will never die

So you must go on now and live one day at a time
Until we meet again

Just understand:

God didn't take me from you, he only took my hand!!!!
















HAVE YOU EVER LOVED SOMEONE SO MUCH,
IT MADE YOU HURT INSIDE?TO THINK OF LIFE
WITHOUT THEM BRINGS MANY TEARS TO
YOUR
EYES.YOU FIND SUCH JOY AND HAPPINESS ,
WITH
JUST THE SLIGHEST THOUGHT YOU MELT.
YOU
KNOW THIS LOVE IS LIKE NO OTHER,FOR
IT'S
THE TRUEST YOU'VE EVER FELT.NOTHING
COULD
COME CLOSE ,TO ALL THE LOVE YOU HAVE
INSIDE.
YOU FEEL AS IF YOU'RE DREAMING ...JUST
TO HAVE
THEM BY YOUR SIDE.HAVE YOU EVER LOVED
SOMEONE
SO MUCH THAT YOU HAD TO LET THEM GO...
FOR GOD
CALLED THEM BACK TO LIVE WITH HIM AND
YOU THINK
PAIN'S ALL YOU'LL EVER KNOW.EACH DAY IS
JUST A
STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH UNTIL THE
NIGHT.
SLEEP SOMETIMES NEVER COMES UNTIL THE
MORNING
LIGHT.THINGS YOU ONCED ENJOYED NO LONGER
BRINGS
HAPPINESS TO YOU AT ALL,FOR, HOW CAN YOU BE
HAPPY
WHEN IT SEEMS ALL YOU DO IS FALL.FAITH YOU
HAVE,
BUT WONDER HOW,SINCE ALL YOU LOVED IS GONE.
"HOW COULD GOD BRING ME SUCH LOVE AND THEN
TAKE IT BACK HOME?"MANY QUESTIONS CROSS
YOUR
MIND AND YOU CAN'T HELP BUT TO WONDER WHY
...ALL
THAT YOU HAD LIVED FOR TOOK YOUR HEART UP
TO THE
SKY.YOU FEEL AS IF YOU'RE ALL ALONE AND NO
ONE SEEMS
TO CARE...WHY DID GOD CHOSE ME TO HURT,THIS
PAIN I
CANNOT BARE.YOU FACE THIS WORLD EVERYDAY
FEELING
AS IF YOU NEED NOT TO GO ON...FOR WHAT IS THE
PURPOSE NOW ,WHY CAN'T I TOO GO HOME?YOU NEVER
MEAN TO QUESTION THE MASTER OR HIS PLANS,BUT
WHEN
WE LOSE THE ONE WE LOVE THE MOST,WHO'S THERE
TO
TAKE OUR HAND?IT FEELS AS IF GOD JUST DOESN'T
CARE
AND THAT HE'S WALKED AWAY...THE FACT IS
THAT HE LOVES
US ALL AND IS BESIDE US COME EACH DAY.
OF COURSE,
HE
UNDERSTANDS THE PAIN AND EXPECTS US
TO QUESTION
HIM,FOR WE ARE ONLY HUMAN...
THAT'S WHY HE DIED FOR
ALL OUR SIN.IT'S NOT THAT HE
HAS WALKED AWAY OR
THAT HE DOESN'T CARE,HE LENT
TO US AN ANGEL FOR HIS
LOVE WITH US TO SHARE.WE MAY
FEEL IT WAS TOO SOON
... THAT THERE JUST WASN'T ENOUGH
TIME.WE MUST
REMEMBER WE ARE LUCKY 'CAUSE
ANGELS ARE HARD
TO FIND.SO WHEN YOU FEEL YOU CAN'T
GO ON AND THAT
YOUR HEART'S NO LONGER THERE...JUST
LOOK UP INTO
THE SKY AND YOU WILL FIND IT THERE!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MESS....












TOASTING OUR LOVE TO ONE  ANOTHER...THANK YOU ANGIE TREVIZO



IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Most Important......never forget to tell someone how very much you love them, it so easy, just SAY...... 



















IN  PRECIOUS MEMORY OF MY WONDERFUL HUSBAND...I LOVE & MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH!

I WOKE AGAIN THIS MORNING AND DIDN'T WANNA FACE THE DAY,
I WISH IT WERE JUST A DREAM AND YOU WEREN'T GONE AWAY.
HOW IN THIS WORLD CAN I GO ON WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE,
YOU WERE THE ONE I ALWAYS KNEW IN WHICH I COULD CONFIDE.
THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM I EVER HAD THAT WAS TOO BIG FOR YOU,
YOU SEEMED TO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS WHEN I HAD THE SLIGHTEST CLUE.YOU TOOK A HEART ONCE BROKEN AND MENDED MY SHATTERED WORLD,YOU MADE A WOMAN OUT OF A TORN DOWN LIL' GIRL.I REALIZE I WAS LUCKY JUST TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE,
AND WHAT AN HONOR IT WAS FOR ME TO CALL MYSELF YOUR WIFE.
DEATH MAY SEPERATE US UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,BUT IT CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY MY LOVE FOR YOU,MY HUSBAND AND BEST FRIEND!
SO, WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN UPON ME AND SEE THE MILLION TEARS I'VE CRIED, PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND JUST WHERE THE GOOD IS IN GOOD-BYE.
"WRITTEN BY YOUR LOVING WIFE,ALISHA LYNN ANTHONY"





























I still hear you laughing,
I still hear your cries,
But now all I remember,
Are our last good-byes.

I wish I'd have said this,
When you were still here,
Then I'd have known you were listening,
Known you were near.

But now you are gone,
This is my last chance,
These are my last words,
On our romance.

I wish I could take back our arguments,
And make it all good,
No one can ever replace you,
No one ever would.

I can't make you realise,
How much I love you,
We had so much more life to live,
So much more to do.

You wished to see the world,
Now you can... where you are,
Your wish has come true,
But heaven is so far.

My wish was to see the stars,
I told you, in our last good-byes,
You granted my every wish,
As I saw them in your eyes.

















Seeing you lie there, no movement, no life, no soul broke my heart and pushed me to the ground. I began to cry and reached for love but the one i loved had gone away leaving me alone to face the ever trying day My head knew you were gone for ever, but my heart held onto the hope you were just sleeping for the all moments I saw you alive, was a treasured moment worth keeping. Now I need to let go for good, but it is the hardest thing to do, to let something go you love, to have nothing there and nothing to do. I had never loved something so dear and for days i let my tears flow until the realization hit me, I had to let you go 













THANK YOU,ROSEMARY FOR THE BEAUTIFUL PICTURES!
























































































There once was an angel in Heaven whose praises other angels would sing,yet this angel had only one problem...He did not yet have his wings.One day the Lord spoke to Him,"My Child into the world you must go,You'll be given to a family and they will love you so"!You will brighten many lives,but you won't be staying long,go long enough to be remembered,For then you must come home".So,this angel came to Earth and was a joy for all to see,However,His work was finished early and He returned to Heaven when he was 23.Now there's an angel in Heaven with wings none of us can see...yes,there's an angel in Heaven,our precious one...JB.













"When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all that we shared,And all the fun
we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss some tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
but here life starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
and since each day is the same way,
There's no longing for the past.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart "
