Precious Child
Words and Music by Karen Taylor-Good
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
Thanksgiving Morning, 1993 ... a holiday that you use to say “it means being thankful to God for everything he has done for us and our families.”
I quote you as saying “you must think deep inside your heart to find the true meaning” in the last school newsletter you submitted before you went into the hospital. I can honestly say after 9 years of being without you,
I have “searched” deep inside my heart to find the true meaning
of “MY” Thanksgiving ... and that is being Thankful to God
for giving us such a beautiful gift in the name ofLouise Antoinette Torres on June 18, 1980.
Since the day you were born, I knew you were our “Special Angel”. God gave you special to us for a reason only he knows.
There are so many people that learned from you including us, your parents. As the years went by and we watched you grow from a child into a beautiful young woman, we were always so proud to say “That’s our Daughter”. Thank you our precious Louise, for 13-1/2 years of your genuine love and beautiful cherished memories only you can give us
and for letting us love you.
We will treasure this all close to our heart’s forever!
Our hearts will always have that special place that only you had filled; and no matter what, you will always be a part of our lives and no person, place or thing can or will ever replace you. We miss your big “happy” smile and the beautiful person that you had become. Until we meet again Louise, we will never forget you and all you stood for! As we continue to painfully live our lives without you, you will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts! We miss you
and will FOREVER love you so much!
“Always and Forever”

GIVING THANKS
I cannot hold your hands today,
I cannot see your smile.
I cannot hear your voices now,
my children, who are gone.
But I recall your faces still,
the songs, the talks, the sighs.
And storytimes, and winterwalks,
and sharing secret things.
I know you helped my mind to live
beyond your time with me.
You gave me clearer eyes to see,
you gave me finer ears to hear,
what living means, what dying means,
my children who are gone.
So here it is Thanksgiving Day,
and you are not with me.
And while I weep a mother's tears,
I thank you for the gifts you were,
and all the gifts you gave to me,
my child, who is gone.

Angel Louise
I am a special angel
In Heaven up above
I'm always watching over my mother
I guard her with my love.
I know I left her side too soon
But it was my time to go
Still in my heart she'll always stay
Until we are together again someday.
I wipe away your tears at night
The ones you think no one can see
I only wish that I could show you
I am as happy as can be.
In Heaven, I hurt no more
My heart is good as gold
When I arrived at Heavens gates
God crowned me with a halo
So I send this special message
To a very special mom
I'm always watching over you
And I always will until the day
That you come Home!
Written by Sierra Passmore
First Thanksgiving
The thought of being thankful
Fills my heart with dread.
They'll all be feigning gladness,
Not a word about her said.
These heavy shrouds of blackness
Enveloping my soul,
Pervasive, throat-catching
Writhe in me, and coil.
I must, I must acknowledge,
Just express her name,
So all sitting at the table,
Know I'm thankful that she came.
Though she's gone from us forever
And we mourn to see her face,
Not one minute of her living,
Would her death ever replace.
So I stop the cheerful gathering,
Though my voice quivers, quakes,
Make a toast to all her living,
That small tribute's all it takes.

Louise
I know the sadness of my loss, the pain you cannot hide
But I soar with the angels on an endless carpet ride
I see the world a whole new way, it's beauty and it's grace
I'm learning, growing, and at peace in this wondrous place.
So when you think of me again, even if you're sad
Think of me as happy, think of the years we had.
Then think of all the time we'll have in eternity
And know I am with God and that my spirit now is free.

To Louise's Family
Such a Beautiful Smile Louise had, and for sure as an ANGEL she
still does.
My ANGEL Lee wrote poetry, this one is very Special to me, I would love to share it with you.
CORE
Softness of the skin
Sweetness in the smell
Nectar of the fruit
Tender in the heart
Dancing in the eyes
Uplifting in the smile
Tickle of the touch
Joining in the love
Truth in the speech
Love in the laughter
Primal in the scream
Soft in the whisper
Quick in the mind
Fair in the sentence
Brave in the confrontation
Joining in the love
Graceful in the sleep
Careful in the search
Deep in the sorrow
Strength in the sickness
Giving of thy self
Rich in the health
Kind in the giving
Joining in the love
