Dear Grandma Rose, I see you've lit 3 candles for my daughter & didn't know who you were til I
saw this beautiful tribute to your lovely Brittany. How terribly tragic what happened to her.
So glad he got life. When I read her story, today would have been Erika's 27th Bday, I sobbed for
your loss & loosing both girls at the same age. My deepest sympathy to you & your family for the
trauma & trial you've been through. Glad to see you belong to POMC, we belong to TCF for
bereaved families. The support groups really help. May God give your family the strength to
endure the pain of your loss. The beautiful memories you have of your Angel Brittany will be
forever in your hearts. May God Bless your Family!
I read the cirsumstances in which you lost Brittany and I am sickened and so so sad for your family. It's always bad to lose our children but its even worse when its from a criminal act of another person. I hope there is justice for Brittany. My prayers for your family. God Bless
The Rose Beyond The Wall
Near shady wall a rose once grew. Budded and
blossomed in God's free light. Watered and fed by
morning dew. Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tall
Slowly rising to loftier height
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shown a Beam of Light.
Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride
It followed the light thru the crevice length
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The Light, the dew the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before
and lost itself in beauties new
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim of Death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint of fall?
Nay, let us faith and hope receive
The Rose still grows beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide. Just as it did
in days of yore. Just as it did on the other side
Just as it will forever more.
In Loving Memory of Your Beautiful Brittney
A beam of light, fair and tall
blooming still beyond the wall.
Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo
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.
