Our day in Huntington Beach. / Bonnie Smith (Mom's Friend )
Brianna, I'll never forget that day I spent with you and your Mom in Huntington Beach. You didn't say a lot but I could tell you really enjoyed hanging out with us. Your Mom misses you so much, I can't even imagine the pain she feels. She has so many good memories of you. I know you are in a beautiful place, but for those who are left here it's very hard. I pray that God will help the pain your family and friends feel each and everyday. Love You Bonnie Close

You've left a mark Bri that will never fade for so many....... / Lynda Bowie (Mother's Friend )
Bri your loving mother will continue to keep your memory and your loss alive. Your mom 'Karen' strives to make certain your tragedy can help other teenagers THINK before they choose to get into a car if the driver has been drinking or using drugs. Karen, your freinds send you love and strength at this very difficult time.
Bri, you are so missed here on earth, one day all your freinds and family will join you to continue with you 'everlasting' life in HEAVEN.
Missing your / MOM I was just thinking about everything we did together all the trips we took to San Diego Sea World, How much fun we had there, When we went to Palm springs and how much you loved going in the pool area at the Marriott and sitting in the spa with you and getting a Tan.......
You were always my little buddy going to the movies, dinner lunch, always walking in the Mall .
We did have alot of fun together.. sure do miss you alot wish we were still hanging.
Wow - I still can't believe this whole thing even happened to such a pretty, happy little girl...
Here on earth we are put together in families. Our loved ones become inexpressibly precious to us. We live in intimate associations. One gets so close to mother and father, wife or husband, sons and daughters, that they literally become a part of one's very life. Then comes a day when a strange change comes over one that we love. He is transformed before our very eyes. The light of life goes out for him. He cannot speak to us nor we to him. He is gone and we are left stunned and heartbroken. An emptiness and loneliness comes into our hearts. We brokenheartedly say "That the one whom I loved is dead." It is such a cold, hopeless thing to realize. Then, out of the very depths of our despair, comes that marvelous declaration of our Lord: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11: 25,26
Then we know! We know we have not lost our loved ones who have died. We have just been separated, and as long as we live there will be an empty place left in our hearts. To some extent, the loneliness will always be there. But when we really know that one is not forever lost, it does seem to take away, a little bit, of the sorrow. There is a vast difference between precious memories, loneliness, the pain of separation, on the one hand, and a sorrow that ruins and blights our lives, on the other hand.
Hope these words are of comfort to you my friends. Please, please know that you are always on my mind and in my heart and prayers. My hands are not better yet, in fact the left one is very numb right now, so it is hard to type. But even though I can't write every day as I did before, I think of you every day. In Christian Love, Melissa
Not now, but in the coming years, it may be in the better land: we'll read the meaning of our tears, and there, some time, we'll understand.

Seeing Past Today / Melissa Smith Blakemoore.memory-of-.com
If we could see beyond today As God can see, If all the clouds should roll away, The shadows flee; Over present grief's we would not fret, Each sorrow we would soon forget, For many joys are waiting yet For you and me. If we could know beyond today As God doth know, Why dearest treasures pass away, And tears must flow; And why the darkness leads to light, Why dreary days will soon grow bright, Some day life's wrong will be made right, Faith tells us so. If we could see, if we could know We often say, But God in love a veil doth throw Across our way. We cannot see what lies before, And so we cling to Him the more, He leads us till this life is over, Trust and obey. Close
Bereaved Parents Wish List I wish my child hadn't died. I wish I had her/him back.
Y
I wish you wouldn't be afraid to speak my child's name. My child lived and was very important to me. I need to hear that she was important to you also.
Y
If I cry and get emotional when you talk about my child, I wish you knew that it isn't because you have hurt me. My child's death is the cause of my tears. You have talked about my child and you have allowed me to share my grief. I thank you for both.
Y
Being a bereaved parent is not contagious, so I wish you wouldn't shy away from me. I need you now more than ever.
Y
I need diversions, so I do want to hear about you, but I also want you to hear about me. I might be sad and I might cry, but I wish you would let me talk about my child; my favorite topic of the day.
Y
I know that you think of and pray for me often. I also know that my child's death pains you too. I wish you would let me know these things through a phone call, a card or note, or a real big hug.
Y
I wish you wouldn't expect my grief to be over. These first years are traumatic for me, but I wish you could understand that my grief will never be over. I will suffer the death of my child until the day I die.
Y
I am working hard in my recovery, but I wish you could understand that I will never fully recover. I will always miss my child and I will always grieve that she is gone.
Y
I wish you wouldn't expect me "not to think about it" or "be happy". Neither will happen for a very long time, so don't frustrate yourself. Y
I don't want to have a "Pity party", but I do wish you would let me grieve. I must hurt before I can heal.
Y
I wish you understood how my life has shattered. I know it is miserable for you to be around me when I'm feeling miserable. Please be as patient with me as I am with you.
Y
When I say, "I'm doing okay", I wish you could understand that I don't "feel" okay and that I struggle daily.
Y
I wish you knew that all of the grief reactions I'm having are very normal. Depression, anger, hopelessness and overwhelming sadness are all to be expected. So please excuse me when I'm quiet and withdrawn or irritable and cranky.
Y
Your advice to "take it one day at a time" is excellent advice. However, a day is too much and too fast for me right now. I wish you could understand that I'm doing good to handle an hour at a time.
Y
Please excuse me if I seem rude, certainly not my intent. Sometimes the world around me goes too fast and I need to get off. When I walk away, I wish you would let me find a quiet place to spend time alone. I wish you understood that grief changes people. When my child died, a big part of me died with her. I am not the same person I was before my child died and I will never be that person again. Y I wish very much that you could understand ~ understand my loss and my grief. But.... I pray daily that you will never understand.
Heaven knows what you've been through So much pain Even though you can't see I'm not far away Since you went away I light candles and say prayers Know that love still remains
Close your eyes, go to sleep Know my love is all around you Dream in peace, when you wake You will know I'm still with you
Live your life from this day on And love again I know you'd do the same for me That's the way that loves is supposed to be
When you feel those lonely teardrops Rolling down your face Just know my love watches over you Always
Close your eyes, go to sleep Know my love is all around you Dream in peace, when you wake You will know I'm still with you I'm still with you

If You Could See Me Now... / Melissa Smith Blakemoore.memory-of-.com (none)
If you could see me now you wouldn't shed a tear. Though you may not understand why I'm no longer there. Remember my spirit that is the real me because I'm still very much alive, I've just been set free, Oh, if you could only see! I have beheld our Father's face and I have touched my Savior's hand. All of Heaven's angels rejoiced as I entered the promised land. Beyond the gates of pearl I've walked on the golden streets. I've touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the crystal sea. The beauty is beyond words and nothing could compare, I've seen your mansion and someday I'll meet you there. Let Jesus be your guide because His word will show you the way! So please don't cry because we will meet again someday.
A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR We've seen the passing of another year. For many it's been filled with pain and tears. We've seen our loved ones in their decline. We've had to accept that they won't be fine. Some of us had to say good bye, To a CHILD, and we've all cried. But there have been times in this past year, That certain events have brought us cheer.
(even if it was a thought of our child) There are so many friends that are on the list, And I know there's names I will have missed. But better friends I could not have bought.
(than those at memory-of) And here is just a New Year's thought. If it were possible that a wish could come true, Then this is my New Year's wish for you. May the coming year be full of hope, And may we be given the strength to cope. Let courage, faith and patience abound. And let us pray that a cure will be found.
( for our broken hearts) And now at the close of another year, My friends, I wish you a Happy New Year.
