In Loving Memory of

        Carly Shane Ingersoll

        February 11, 1998 - February 12, 1998

        Carly came into our lives almost as quickly as she left. Some may think that because she only lived such a short time, that the pain would be less. When we went to the doctor's office and heard her heartbeat, my husband and I would look at each other and smile. When I would lay down for bed at night, she would start kicking and moving as if to say "Hey mom, you didn't want to sleep now did you?" We had loved Carly and had hopes and dreams for her long before we ever saw her. We will never forget Carly and we know that even though she was only here, for what seemed like a few seconds, she will be in our hearts forever.

        Whisper of an Angel

        The whisper of an angel Can open Heaven's gate,
        A glimpse of faith and courage A love strong enough to wait,

        Whisper you are safe Whisper softly, angel love,
        My heart is aching so Needing comfort from above,

        Tell me you are with me Whisper gently in my ear,
        "You will always be my mommy" In the quiet I will hear,

        My heart still aches to hold you I close my eyes and see,
        Your beautiful face now And who you were to be,

        Through dreams I once held close In the distance now, so far
        Still you're more than just my child You're the twinkle in the stars,

        So I'll hear your angel whispers "You never need let go,
        Hold me, mommy, close within" Though the pain and sorrow flow,

        One day we shall reunite Angels whisper words of grace,
        And I promise I will hold you In another time and place.
