"In the beginning God created the Heaven and Earth... God blessed us with twins-- one in Heaven and one on Earth."

"Just Those Few Weeks I had you to myself and that seems too short a time to be changed so profoundly I came to know you...and to love you. You came to trust me with your life. Oh, what a life I had planned for you! When I last saw, you Ilost a lifetime of hopes, plans dreams and aspirations. A slice of my future simply vanished overnight. You darted in and out of my life so quickly. But it seems that's all the time you needed to make my life so Iuch richer and give me and a small glimpse of eternity. by Susan Erling ,"

"I am Angel's grandma . I never got to hold her in my arms, but I hold her close in my heart. I know she is with God in heaven and is not suffering. Angel you was only here briefly but your little life was so very precious. You died so Callie could live and God is watching over her and helping her to grow and thrive. Angel you are gone from our presence, but you are not gone from our hearts. I love you so very much and I think you are special"
