Dance sweet angel...

Sunday, October 23, 2011


A sweet friend that I've known for 15 years, had an unthinkable loss this week of her beautiful daughter, Mackenzie,  in a tragic car accident.  Mackenzie had a smile that could light up a room and a spirit as beautiful... just like her mom.  I've just been so heartbroken for Kelly and her family... and I can't imagine the pain and sorrow losing such a beautiful soul.   I'm sad for all those things that she'll never experience, but happy that in the short 14 years that she was here, she had such a loving and amazing family who will never forget and forever love their precious angel.

Please help me pray for strength and courage for her and her family.  Hold your children tight and tell them how much you love them... be thankful for each day, even the trying ones.  





If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment

Oh, Tori - I feel physically ill reading this; I can only imagine how you, your community, and this family is feeling right now. Your card is beautiful, though, and speaking as someone who has received several condolence cards over the past few weeks, the ones that people took the time and effort to make are the ones that comfort me most.

How very, very sad. She was a beautiful girl and my heart really goes out to her family and friends.

You made a beautiful card. I'm sure it will be dearly appreciated.
