This site is in remembrance of  the son-in-law and grand-daughter of  a friend of mine.  My wish is that in this small way it may ease some of the pain she and her family have experienced with this loss.

Much Too Young

They were much too young to die.  The father and the daughter called to our Lord just 8 months apart.

Michael John Moore died in an automobile accident on October 12, 1996 while returning home from the local recruiting office.  His daughter Brittany died on June 30, 1997 after falling into the family pool on June 28, 1997.

When I Am Gone

When I am gone, release me, let me go.  I have so many things to see and do.

You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.  Be happy that we had those precious years.

I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you have shown.  But now it's time I travel on alone.

So grieve awhile for me, if you must.  Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It's only for awhile that we must part.  So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far way, for life goes on.  So if you need me call, and I will come.

Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near.  And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear.  All my love around you soft and clear.

And then when you must come this way alone.  I'll greet you with a smile and say,

"Welcome Home."

Little Angels

When God calls little children to dwell with him above.  We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of his love.

For no heartache compares with the death of one small child who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold.  So he picks a rosebud before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few.  To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try.

The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."

So when a little child departs, we who are left behind must realize God loves children.  Angels are hard to find.
