Let not your heart be troubled
Let not your soul be sad
Easter is a time of joy
When all hearts should be glad
Glad to know that Jesus Christ
Made it possible for men
To have their sins forgiven
And, like Him, to love again
So at this joyous season
May the wondrous Easter Story
Renew our faith so we may be
Partakers of His glory

 

In My Prayers

Sending my Love up to Heaven to YOU!

 

          

 

 

 

Happy Australia day! January 26th 2010.

No matter where we live, I can only imagine that all our

beautiful Angels will be watching the

spectacular fireworks from heaven together,

as they help their Aussie Buddies celebrate

Australia day.

My thoughts and prayers are with all who love and miss Matthew

especially his dear Mom Connie. I wish there was something

I could say to ease your heartache, but I know that is

impossible, I only pray you find some small comfort in

knowing others care and remember

your precious Angel Matthew.

May this Christmas be so special that you never ever feel lonely again and be surrounded by loved ones throughout!

 

I'll paint you a Rainbow

to hang on the wall,

to brighten your heart

when the gray shadows fall.

On a canvas of joy

outlasting the years,

with a soft brush of sweetness

to dry all your tears.

I'll paint you a Rainbow

with colors of smiles,

That glow with sincerity

over the miles.

On a palette of words

I will tenderly blend

tones into treasures

of sunlight and wind.

I'll paint you a Rainbow

that reaches so wide,

Your sights and your sorrows

will vanish inside,

and deep in the center

of each different hue,

A memory fashioned

especially for you.

So lift up your eyes,

for suspended above,

A Rainbow designed

by the fingers of Love.

Connie,

 

I am the mother you met at the August 22 check point that MADD was sponsoring.  I was there holding a poster along with the mother of the other girl who was killed in the car with my daughter. You gave me one of Matt's memorial cards and I have spent the last two hours reading everything on the web site.  I could hear your pain.  Matt was such a gifted person who could have done so much more for our world.  I do not understand why you had to go through this.  I am angry that the driver and his family felt that they were victims, although I also experienced this with the driver and his family when Bethany was killed.  I also read all the beautiful messages people have left you and the candle messages written to Matt.  It seemed strange that I was hurting so deeply over your loss and crying as I read your story when I too have burried my daughter. I can not imagine losing an only child. Like you, I can only begin to cope with Bethany's loss by trying to stop other parents from experiencing the gut wrenching pain of burrying their child.  I too wish I could hug Bethany again or hear her say "I love you" before she hung up the phone.  Until they've lost a family member, people don't realize how precious life is.  You're right, drunk driving is a violent crime.  When someone chooses to drink and drive, it is the same as pointing a loaded gun at an innocent victim.

 

My heart goes out to you and Matt's grandparents and Lucy.  You will be in my prayers.

I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They're with you every day."
"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they've finally found.
