And if I go,
While you're still here…
Know that I live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
-behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
-both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
…I will be there.
Auntie I pray for comfort and peace for you and your family during this devastating time.I will miss my cousin,love you Kimmie! We love you Rob ,Patty and Tommy Waits.

I love you more than life itself, my precious daughter, You are and always will be my Angel. I love you Kimmie~~~~
I'm an Angel Now
One night I cried to Jesus as I sat beneath the trees.
I looked into the open sky and hoped He'd answer me.
I'm lost dear Lord. I've traveled far but still I seam to roam.
Please light the way and lead me, Lord. I need to get back home.
I told him of my burdens and of the sadness in my heart-
That from His gracious love I'd never felt so far apart.
Why did you take my child, Lord? I cannot understand!
No longer can I touch her face or hold her tiny hand.
I'm angry, Lord. I'm missing her. I'm drowning in my sorrow.
Please help to heal my yesterday's and face each new tomorrow.
It was then I heard her gentle voice and I felt her presence near.
How I wanted so to hold her as I cried another tear.
She said, "Mommy, "I 'm an angel now, my spirit will be free.
I'm an angel now in heaven, so please don't cry for me.
I was chosen by our Lord above and now I'm in his care.
When you need me, look inside your heart. I promise to be there.
No one can ever take away our bond with one another
For I'll always be your precious child, as you will be my mother.
