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 we've needed you
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could've saved you
You would have never died.
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one else could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

We Love you Forever Holly

Your Family

I’ll lend you for a little time a child of mine, He said

For you to love while she lives,

And mourn for when she is dead.

It may be six or seven years,

Or twenty-two or three,

But will you, till I call her back,

Take care of her for me?

She’ll bring her charms to gladden you,

And should her stay be brief,

You’ll have her lovely memories

As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay,

Since all from earth return,

But there are lessons taught down there

I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked this wide world over

In my search for teachers true

And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,

I have selected you.

Now will you give her all your love,

Not think the labor in vain,

Nor hate me when I come to call,

And take her back again?

I fancied that I heard them say

Dear Lord, Thy will be done.

For all the joy

Thy child shall bring,

The risk of grief we’ll run.

We’ll shelter her with tenderness,

We’ll love her while we may;

And for the happiness we’ve known,

Forever grateful stay.

But should the Angels call for her

Much sooner than we planned,

We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes,

And try to understand.

A Special Angel

There’s a special angel in heaven

That is a part of me.

It is not where we wanted her right now,

But where God wanted her to be.

She was here just a moment,

Like a night-time shooting star.

And though she is in heaven,

She isn’t very far.

She touched the hearts of many,

Like only an angel can do.

We would have held her every minute,

If the end we only knew.

So we send this special message,

To heaven up above.

Please take care of our angel,

And send her all our love.

I'm Still Here

Mother please don't mourn for me

I'm still here, though you don't see

I'm right by your side each night and day

And within your heart I long to stay

My body is gone but I'm always near

I'm everything you feel, see or hear

My spirit is free, but I'll never depart

As long as you keep me alive in your heart

I'll never wander out of your sight

I'm the brightest star on a summer night

I'll never be beyond your reach

I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around

And the pure white snow that blankets the ground

I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond

The clear cool water in a quit pond

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring

The first warm raindrop that April will bring

I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine

And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine

When you start thinking there's no one to love you

You can talk to me through the Lord above you

I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees

And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep

And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep

I'm the smile you see on a baby's face

Just look for me, Mother, I'm everyplace!
