WISHING YOUR LOVING MOM A

Edwina~Troy's mum To Mom with love on Mothers Day. May 6, 2009
 

.

I know it will be especially hard

for I’m not there with you.

But I’m sending you all my love,
on this Mother’s Day
 

Even though I’m not there

in sight for you to see.

I am always right beside you

holding you ever so close to me.
 

You haven’t stopped being my mom

I am forever your precious one.

A bond as strong as Mother and Child

can never be undone.

 
I honor you from Heaven now

through our family you will see.

For they will show love from them

and also love from me.

 

Hearing “Happy Mothers Day”

how painful it’s become.

But when you hear it said to you

know it’s from your precious one.

 

“Happy Mothers Day”  Mom

I’ll be right there by your side.

Having my arms around you

holding you with pride.

.

"If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it just for you,
And share with you its beauty,
The days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain,
You could call your very own.
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles,
I would toss them in the sea.
But all these things I'm finding,
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain,
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend that's always there! "

Mom to Angel Melissa Platt Hugs from Heaven April 2, 2009
 

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

 


 


Edwina~Troy Mitchell's mum Thinking of you on Chance's first angelversary March 26, 2009
 

 

Remember me


Remember me when flowers bloom

early in the spring,

Remember me on sunny days

in the fun that summer brings.


Remember me in the fall

as you walk through the leaves of gold,

And in the winter - remember me

In the stories that are told.


But most of all remember

each day - right from the start,

I will be forever near

for I live within your heart.

                                       ~unknown

I am so sorry that I missed Chance's first angelversary,

My thoughts and prayers where with you and your precious family last Tuesday.

I was interstate attending a funeral and unable to come on line but I did keep

Chance very close to my heart.

Debi Collins Mom to Angel Andrew February 21, 2009
 

As the first anniversary of Chance's move to Heaven approaches, please always know that for those of us who have traveled the same road, you will be in the hearts and prayers of your "new" friends. I know that the first year is encompassed with so many emotions, and as time moves forward, you will most likely question where that year went...how you managed to cope...how you even made it minute to minute, but time is the only thing that will ease the pain and begin to bring new life to you.

You will always have that special place in your heart and soul for your handsome son...it stays there, right next to the huge void that will also rest eternally within your heart. But the day will come when God's need for Chance will make more sense to you. It won't stop the grieving, nor will it create a world that seems perfect again...there is no such eutopia for those of us who have learned to rebuild our lives without a child...starting over as a family minus an integral part of who that family once was.

You are in my thoughts and prayers and I pray that as the day approaches, you will find the inner peace of knowing that your handsome Chance is healthy, happy and living an eternal life. He will wait for you...we just have to be patient.

lizzie shea's momma I just thought of us all when i saw this quote February 1, 2009
 
Hope is a higher heart frequency, and as you begin to
re-connect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you
new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of
grief and loneliness. Listening to the still small
voice in your heart will make hope into a reality.
-- Sara Paddison

Angel Lizzie Shea Family Sweet Poem for us All December 31, 2008
 
A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, They will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

CATHY~MOM OF DAVID GIRAUD♫ THINKING OF YOU December 31, 2008
 

"It's the end of another year and so many thoughts go
swirling through our minds.  For many, it has been a
difficult year - job loss, loss of friends, loss of a home,
loss of health, and possibly one of the most lasting
losses of all - the loss of a child.  For some there will
be no celebration at the end of the year - only a lot
of tears for those dreams that were stolen away so
unexpectedly.
How does a person move on?  How can a person move
into the New Year with joy when so much sorrow
surrounds the heart?  It's not easy, but it helps to
remind yourself often that you are never, ever alone in
your pain.  There are times when we feel alone, but the
truth is that we are surrounded by hope and it is there
for us whenever we call out for help.
Look at nature in any season and be reminded of the
One who is in charge.   Look at the majesty of the
starry sky at night and know that you are counted among
the stars.  Listen to the sounds of the wind rustling through
the trees and hear the whisper of God letting you know He
is by your side.  Look for the rainbow painting the sky
and be assured that you have not been forgotten.  Remind
yourself often that hope is stronger than your pain! "-C. Hinton

"For every tear you cry, there is a seed of hope being watered."

--Clara Hinton

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me."  --Psalm 61:a

Christmas_Hibiscus


The picture is a hibiscus that was blooming on one of our bushes during Christmas while we were living in Hawaii. It was one of Bruce's favorite flowers. I hoping you will like it too! I'll see your mom next weekend. I'll be helping her with S.A.D and P.A.R.A., so don't worry everything will be fine. Please give Bruce a big hug for me and the two of you hug one another for all of us. Hold your mom close in your angel wings.


Wishing you, your mom and the rest of our family a positive, loving new year.

May God continue to bless us and keep us all together.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, especially now during the

holiday season. I am wishing you a gentle Christmas filled

with beautiful memories of Chance.

Lindsey Chance November 19, 2008
 
I pray for you and for justice to be done everyday.  think about you and how hurt you are and I know you would give anything for another moment with Chance and you will always have a void in your heart. I have Chance's picture hanging in my living room and it reminds me everyday that the world can be so unfair. I know I have told you before I am so proud and AMAZED by your strength and all you have done and fought for. You took a terrible thing and changed laws. Im sure because of the speed limit change you saved another mother from going through what you have been through. Your world got turned upside down and you keep going everyday. Chance should not have died that day. Let me know if you ever need anything even if its getting out of the house and having a drink.

HI...MY name is Jessica Janisch, and I don't personally know your son, but I'm good friends with Lindsey Phillips and my husband Brian went to school with Chance. I wanted to send you our deepest condolences and you've been on my mind since I found out about his death. I pray for you and your family daily and my heart aches for you as a mom! If there is anything me or our family can do, please let us know!

Thanks so much!

Love,
Jess Janisch

Chance was an adorable kid and grew up to be very handsome as I always knew he would.I really liked him. He was always so good when ever he was at our house, just shy of girls at that time. But who can blame them. I remember how cute he looked in his baseball uniform. Richard used to say that it reminded him of when he was young.

Shelli if you just want to talk just know I'm just an e-mail away.

Take care my sweets.

You know that for me to be able to say hi to you and hear from you every now and then, I kind of feel like I still have a little piece of Chance with me because he was a part of you. Maybe it is just my way of thinking though. People can be sooo unreal these days. Nothing shocks me anymore...lol. I hope jutice will be served as you have fought strong and hard. I know as a mother, I wouldn't let anything or anyone get in my way either to get justice for my children. I envy you for fighting so hard and staying so strong. This is a situation that you have to be able to tell yourself that you can even when others may say you can't. I think that people see how strong willed you are for Chance and maybe they are intimidated as they very well should be. Thank you
Heather I Miss Him November 12, 2008
 
Hi Shelli, I just wanted to thank you so much for letting me come by last night and pick up that stuff for Chance. It was great being able to finally meet you. I wish we could met sooner and under different circumstances but it's better late than ever. Thank you for sharing everything you did last night as well. I'm sorry I couldn't have been of more help and had more words and thoughts to express how deeply sorry I am. Chance was a great friend. But I hope we keep in touch and I would love to go visit him one day with you if that would be okay. Just let me know.
Thanks so much again,
Heather

Chance, You will be missed..... You will always be in our hearts and mind always.


Linda Chance & Bruce October 27, 2008
 
Shelli,

I've been thinking about you, Chance and Bruce. It's sad considering how much time we've been family, but never seemed to have the time to share much with one another...that is until now. I lost Bruce and now you've lost Chance, but through our loss we have reconnected. I don't believe it's a coincidence. I truly believe Chance and Bruce have brought us together to help us through our grief and learn how to live again.

When I look at photos of Chance I see the glint in his eyes. Bruce had that look of mischief in his eyes as well. If you saw photos of Rob, Bruce's son, you would see that same thing! So, even though they are not with us physically any longer, their sense of fun and mischief lives on in our memories and within others. Some how this is comforting to me. I hope it will bring you comfort too.

I hope your mom shared with you my story about the two herons I saw on Lake Grapevine on Saturday while I was celebrating Bruce's first anniversary in Heaven. If you'll go to Bruce's memorial site you can read about it under "memories" and see the photos in his album "Freedom Flight." It still makes me feel as though my heart will burst out of my chest when I think about it. It was the greatest gift!

You will receive your gift as well when you least expect it. Please know I love you so much and think about you and your precious son every day. Do your best to be happy because Chance wants you to.

Love & hugs to you.

Dear shelly,
 
We are very sorry for your loss, we have met Chance only once when he visited you in The Woodlands, and remember how handsome he looked and how proudly you were looking at him when you introduce us.
WE always keep you and your family in our prayers.

Teah Ranney Thank you. September 8, 2008
 

Thank you so much for lighting a candle for my brother in law Gary. He was a great kid. I can't believe he has been gone 10 years. He was born the same year as your son Chance.

 

I am so sorry for your loss. Gary also died from head injuries in a car accident. He was 16. He hit a tree traveling in excess of 70 mph. Speed definately kills. The page you have created for you son is beautfiul. I am still working on Gary's.

 

I know nothing anyone can say will ever take your pain away, but may you find comfort knowing that others care and that you are not alone.

 

Your son was a very handsome young man. May he rest peacefully. Maybe he will meet our Gary in Heaven and they will be good friends.

Veresa (Jordan Logan's Grandma Thoughts and Prayers September 8, 2008
 

Thank you so much for the comment left on Jordan's page. It means so much to us.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks with yours. I pray for you and your family to find the strength and guidance to help see you through this. You are in my thoughts and prayers. 

I am the mom of 3 sons and 1 daughter. I worry constantly when my 2 oldest boys are on the road. My 19 year old son has only had his license for a short time. He called me during the spring to inform me that he was going to be driving to Atlanta--I cried as I said "bye" to him on the phone. I worry myself sick, literally.  My oldest son, Jordan's daddy, he drives for a living. He will call me while on the road and I become a nervous wreck when he talks of what the other drivers are doing.

The work you have done in his honor is an inspiration. Job well done.

Hugs to you and your family. ♥
