In Loving Memory of
Katrina "Noel" Burford
December 28, 1996 - October 13, 2003
My dear friend Linda made this graphic and the birthday graphic above as special gifts for Angel Noel.
This is a beautiful and loving gift for Angel Noel from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.
  
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.
Let it not be said my life was in vain,
I've just moved on to a higher plane.
So I can keep better watch over you,
As you move on like you need to do
Though this life has reached an end,
I'm waiting for you around the bend.
I beg you please don't weep for me!
It's not so bad for soon you'll see,
That I will linger long past this sunset,
In the hearts of you who love me yet.

The Broken Chain
We did not know that morning that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you the day God called you home
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
but as GOD calls us one by one, the CHAIN will link again.

Heavens Flowers
There are times I don't quite know
Why God does things His way,
Why he calls some children home
And leaves old folks to stay.
The old have lived their lives complete
And await their call for home,
While a child is just beginning
To enjoy her earthly roam.
Maybe God looks down from heaven
In search of beauty here,
Perhaps we are His earthly flowers
That bloom year after year.
Perhaps when God looks down on earth
And sees the flowers there,
He will pluck a few of them
And choose each one with care.
Flowers that are in full bloom
He picks with much delight,
But He also takes some little buds
To make His bouquet bright.
All these earthly blooms He takes
The finest He can find,
To beautify His home in heaven
While comforting mankind.
 
 
We Do Not Need A Special Day
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know
Our thoughts are always with you
Your place no one can fill
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
There will always be a heartache
And often a silent tear
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here
If tears could build a staircase
And heartaches make a lane
We'd walk the path to Heaven
And bring you home again
We hold you close, within our hearts
And there you will remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again
Our family chain is broken now
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.

A Special Birthday
Please God, make them remember that today is a special birthday.
Make them understand that the memories don't go away.
Bless them with ears to hear and hearts that care.
Enable them to listen while I share.
Shelter them that they may never know my pain.
Help them to help me know that my child's life was not in vain.
Help them to remember, Lord,
that I wish my child was here so we
could still celebrate.
To understand that I still feel the nearness of my child.
To see beyond my smile and the words "I'm OK"
Please God, let just one remember that
TODAY IS A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY.
You are the winds that blow,
You are the diamonds in the snow,
You are the sun that melts my pain,
You are the gently autumns rain.
You are the graceful bird in flight,
You are the stars that shine at night,
You were the heartbeat of my life,
I wish you weren't gone.but here instead.
We have you as an angel now.
Blessed by the peace you bring.
And although I cannot see you.
I can feel the brush of your wings.
You bring me light in darkness
And calmness in times of fear.
And hope lives in the knowing
That you are always near.

This little card that is included is one that Kristian gave her and she always carried it.
Memories
Time cannot steal the treasures that we carry in our hearts,
Nor ever dim the shining thoughts
Our cherished past imparts..
And memories of the ones we've loved
Still cast their gentle glow,
To grace our days and light our paths,
Wherever we may go.
