In Memory of My Daughter Jodi




July 22, shortly past midnight,

one of the worst days of my life.

I miss you so much Jodi.






Gone To Soon

Like a comet,
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow,
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly,
Splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight,
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle,
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower,
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon


And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched...for nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much.

love xo mom and dad

For You Jodi .....

She lives forever in the hearts of those who love her. The poetry that you write for her is beautiful.

Many hugs to you today and always.

Mar,
I remember when this happened, and you couldn't come back to work you were so totally devastated. Nobody should have to lose a child. My prayers are with you always.
Love,
