This page is dedicated to the memory of our precious daughter, Isabella Marie, as she spends her first birthday in Heaven.
Mommy and Daddy miss you so much!!!
A Special Birthday

Please God, make them remember
That today is a special birthday.
Make them understand
That the memories don't go away.

Bless them with ears to hear
And hearts that care.
Enable them to listen
While I share.

Shelter them
That they may never know my pain.
Help them to help me know
That my child's life was not in vain.

Help them to remember Lord
That I wish my child was here so we could celebrate.
To understand that I still
Feel the nearness of my child.

To see beyond my smile
And the words, "I'm okay".
Please God, just let one remember
Today is a special birthday!

Your Dreams

Dreams may come and dreams they go
But for us your dreams we'll never know.
You came to us through the miracle of life
Who knows "your dreams" midst all the strife.

We saw your heartbeat inside your mother
We wish we had both of you, if we'd had our druthers.
It is one year since you left us here
And as on that day, we'll shed many a tear.

Tis true we won't know your hopes and dreams
Even with all the doctors cures and things.
We're left to share with you from above
But dear, our sweet angel Isabella
Don't ever hesitate to think...

You Isabella, Our Isabella, are loved.
