God called your name so gently, That only you could hear. No one heard the footstep, Of the angel drawing near. Softly from the shadow, Came a gentle call. You closed your eyes and went to sleep, And gently left us all. Carol my dear basically shy friend, You have left a void in our hearts that cant be replaced. I have treasured you friendship and I will treasure all the memories I have.. Curt and family I know in my heart that she is up dancing on the clouds with Jeremy. Hope she gave Russ a hug. Friends forever, Cheri

Josh HGood ideas, Amy. My mom did something simalir as birthday gifts for our two oldest kids, but instead of a tote, she assembled the items in a binder. She ordered return address mailing labels from a checks company (dinosaurs for our son, Hello Kitty for our daughter).I helped her create matching stationery (just using Word) with the images from the return labels, along with some other images she found on the Internet, and had the stationery printed at Kinkos. The result was a fairly low cost (I think) solution that was also perfectly suited to each kid. They loved them.I can send you pictures if you'd be interested in seeing them.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We know that soon all death will come to an end. (Revelation 21:4) Jehovah God knows the pain you are going through and soon he will do something about it. Not only will he end death but also wipe out every tear from our eyes and remove the pain.
