I Belive / Melissa Smith
I believe God's promises are true. I believe Heaven is real.I believe God will see US through. I believe nothing can separateUs from God's love. I believe God has work for me to do. "Believing against the grain" means having a survivalist attitude. Not only can WE survive, but out of it we can create something good. We need to cry out to each other for help and cry out, "God help US believe!"
Thinking of you and thanking you for your thoughts and prayers while my hands are recovering. Melissa
When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all mylife, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had
If I could re-live yesterday Just even for a while, I'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great goldenthrone.
He said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you." Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew
I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true. Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven And now at last you're free. So won't you come and take my hand And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
Thinking of you / Melissa Smith Blakemoore.memory-of--.com
No person is ever truly alone Those Who live no more, Whom we loved. Echo still within our thoughts, Our words, our hearts, And what they did And who they were Becomes a part of all that we are, forever.
Thinking of you always. I've missed visiting you. My hands are some better, at least I can type some.
Hi Megan, thinking of you & your mom! / Keena Killians Mommy I pray for your mom every day & hope she finds peace and alot of love during this incredibly painful time!! Luv Killians mommy, Keena
"HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY MEGAN" / Johnette Moninger Angels-Mary Bates, Madison Foell, Toby Meister (Friend)
Bless Your Heart
On Saint Patrick's Day
And Always
My Prayer / Melissa Smith
God, darkness is closing in on me. I've been trying to avoid the inevitable and need You to help me realize that being in the darkness is part of my journey through grief. I don't want to dread or fear it but to embrace it and allow You to use it to change me. Slow me down, Lord, and allow me to face my pain and loss. Be my comforter, encourager, companion, and light. Illuminate the dark night. Show me today how being in the darkness has and will enlarge my soul. Amen
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!" / Johnette Moninger Angels-Mary Bates, Madison Foell, Toby Meister (Friend)
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN" Eat an extra piece of Angel food cake for me. Hugs & Kisses. Johnette
Birthday wishes for Megan . . . / Theresa Farmer (Ty's mom ) It is always so sad to see another dear child taken and always my heart cries . . . why? I adore Megan's pictures! I get the feeling she took some of them herself . . . they are enchanting. I am so sorry for you - left to carry on in this empty world. Eternity is not that far away for any of us and Praise God - it lasts forever. Then you take this precious child in your arms and never let her go.
Happy Birthday sweetie / Jessica Mathews (one best friend ) Happy Birthday Meg. I miss you so much. We've been planning for this day since we were 12.

And I can't wait until the day I can see you too. I love you Megan.

Megan, We miss you so very much. It's still hard to believe you're gone. You would have been 21 today. Wish you were here to celebrate. But you are enjoying the greatest celebration of all in heaven and we'll all be with you again one day. Keep shining down upon your mom. She needs you so much. We love you!
March 1, Happy Birthday / Aunt Carolyn (Aunt)
"The light of a distant star continues to reach the earth long after the star itself is gone". Megan's light and love will continue to shine and live in our hearts forever. Happy Birthday, precious niece. I love you.
this is what i wrote in my journal...i miss you Meg / Leah Seamans (very good friend )
Today...your favorite day...we had such plans for today
We've been planning since we were in high school... Planning since before high school... Planning for such a long time it seems Me, You, Your mom, and a few other friends
It's been 4 months...4 months since you left us...and longer since I've seen your smiling face
I can't pick up the phone and press 9 anymore, expecting to reach you...
I can't call you when i go home and see if you want to go driving around the parish...
oh God...the things we did when driving around... --throwing condoms at random people --going out to Ghost Bridge --walking around old cemetaries, just talking and taking random pictures of tombstones
And tomorrow...I don't know if I'll be able to stand it...you should be here right now...
you should be here, with me and your mom...only we'd be in New Orleans, celebrating your favorite holiday...celebrating Mardi Gras, and tomorrow, when you would have turned 21, we would have had a few drinks and had some fun
bringing home bags full of beads to commemorate your 21st
but right now...the words are blurring...the tears are falling...and no matter what i say, you can't come back
Don't have too much fun up in Heaven Megan...Save some partying for us, for when we get to see you again
i'll see you again one day Meg, and then the party can really start

Thinking of you / Melissa Smith (none)
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.
You Didn't Go Alone / Mom You never said I'm leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why A million times I needed you, A million times I cried If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died In life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone For all my love went with you, The day God took you home. -Author Unknown
Mardi Gras Parade / Mom This weekend is the Mardi Gras Parade in Monroe. Gosh I use to dread going to that thing every year with you. I really didn't want to go last year, but like always, you talked me into it. It was so cold, but we had a blast! I think we had the most fun last year of all the years. I had no idea at the time that it would be our last one together. I don't think I'll ever go again. As much as I dreaded going to those parades, I'd give anything to be going again with you this year. You'd never hear me complain again. All I've got are the memories. But what some memories! We really had some great times together. And when my work here is through I'll see you again. I love you.
"HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY MEGAN" / Johnette Moninger Angels-Joseph D, Colt P, Toby M, Madison F, Mary B (New Friend )
You are precious and glorious in God's sight. May His love be with you and your family throughout each and every day of the year.
"HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY"
Valentines message to Megan from her mother, Karen / Alicia Calantone (None) This valentine is not of the ordinary kind Its still filled with love...and blessings inside But mine has to be sent on the wings of love You see its destination is the Heavens above
Its not being sent to my parents so dear For they are still with me each day of the year Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon
The message is the same as your valentine "I love you"...my sweet precious child of mine My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you
I know you are with me each and every day You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say For that is the one thing that death cannot do You'll always be a part of me...and me a part of you...
I know you are in the best of care But its so hard for us left on earth to bear Could you put in a request from us left behind For God to send the knowledge..so an answer we can find
So that no other family has to go through this pain Our lives without you will never be the same When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night And see you shining down your big bright night light
Happy Valentines day sunshine...I miss you so much I know you know how many lives you have touched You'll always be mine...I love you with all my heart I know we'll be together again..and then we'll never part
So you see the meaning is still the same The method of delivery is the only change Mine must be sent by a little white dove On the wings of love.....
