My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

           HAPPY ANGEL DAY ANGEL JOHN

       APRIL 3, 1942 - JANUARY 19, 2006

Wishing Angel John a very Blessed, peaceful, glorious, and Happy Angel Day with God.

               FOREVER REMEMBERED

May your light burn brightly and eternally in Heaven

Peace, LostMom to Patrick Barbosa

              Lighting a candle for my son Patrick

Before I lost my son Patrick

Lighting a candle was just a tradition

To get my prayers answered more quickly,

But today after I lost my son Patrick

Lighting a candle is a painful reminder

Of my greatest loss of a beautiful life cut

So short... My son Patrick.

Lighting a candle is now an unthinkable,

Unbearable reminder of so many hopes

And dreams taken away from me.

But in the depth of my sorrowful journey,

Lighting a candle is also precious

Memories of Patrick that are taken into my

Broken heart and shattered soul as a

Keepsake to keep his memories alive

Beyond my life on earth.

Lighting a candle for my son is my faith

In God to embrace Patrick's new life

As glorious and peaceful as His kingdom.

Lighting a candle for my son Patrick is a

Symbol of my eternal love for him

That I am his mom and he is my son for

Eternity, for love never dies but grows

Deeper.

Lighting a candle will always surround

The beautiful soul of Patrick wherever I am

To guide him into eternal life.

Lighting a candle says it all Son:

I love you

I miss you

I need you

I am here for you always

You see, God, lighting a candle is a

Must... A link from me a lost mother to my

Beautiful son Patrick.

O Lord, Let it Shine High and Bright!!!

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Dedicated to my son Patrick Christian

LostMom to Patrick Barbosa

Life's most
beautiful things
are not seen
with the eyes,

but felt
with the heart.

Wishing you
a special Thanksgiving
of the heart.

I'm right here in your Heart

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
things I dearly love.



But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye,
For all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, So much 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 the love 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 that could never be,
For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me.



And when I thought of Worldly things, I might miss come 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 it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last, and since each day's the same day,
There's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true, Though there were times you did some
things, you know you shouldn't do.



But you have been forgiven, And now at last you're free,
So won't you take my hand And share My life with Me?"
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

I have added an Angel Friends page to my Husband Michael Mims site and would be honored if you added your angel to his page.

A treasure chest of love untold.

Taking time to realize.

Someone that we can count on
To be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE.

Happy birthday Dad. Love and miss you

I know I am still with you
in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
of life's sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
through our love, we still connect.
We'll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free,
until then, I am with you
because you remember me.
