She died during a domestic dispute between her father
and mother (my sister) on Christmas Eve..
Dallas was a beautiful girl
with a twin sister who loved life as all children do.
She was 8 yrs old and in the 2cd. grade with alot
going for her, and a very intelligent girl who loved music,
sang, and her favorite animal was horses..
She always drew horses with her sister and loved to play horsey,
as she would call it. When ever she would come
up and visit me and my family, she would love
to fool me with who she was, as we all would ask her if she
was Dallas or Jen, (her twin sister).. That was there favorite game with
people..
She was just a super , beautiful girl that was a typical 8 yr old
with alot of going for her. Without going into the whole story,
I will narrow it down to a man that felt he had to show his
anger by using a gun on my sister , and when he did this
cowardly act, he missed andshot Dallas . Because of this violent act,
he took away his own daughter, a part of my sisters life, her twin sister, and
a brother..
This will be a Christmas that the family will never forget.
Now all we have are memories of a beautiful girl that was
taken from us on Christmas because of her fathers hidious act.
The father did get time in prison for what he had done
and is now out. But as for Dallas's sister and brother they still live with
the memory of losing there sister and Christmas will never be the same for them.
I only pray that as they get older the memory will lesson
and hope they will become stronger individuals.
God Bless YOU Jen and Justin and my sister....
To all of those that have lost someone special in your life,
it is hard especially on birthdays, holidays, and the date of their death.
But when children are taken away from us unexpected, it is
alot harder to live with. Life does go on,and god certainly gives us
challenges that only we can handle, and makes us appreciate
what we do have and makes us stronger.
" We miss you Dallas
and there isn't a day
that goes by without u in our thoughts and prayers.
We will hold our candles high for u on each and
every Christmas Eve singing the song you loved most "Rudolph" to show that
we were and are proud of you my dear.
Until we meet again"
DALLAS COLE
You were only 8 years old,
You had a whole life too live with a heart of gold
with love yet too give.
I wish I could hold your hand,
I would give anything
too see you playing in the sand.
I wish I could kiss your face,
but when I lean over
there's nothing there.
I wish you were here too hug,
I wish you were
here too make me feel warm and snug.
As a tear from my eye, I try to smile,
but I let out a sigh
We have had so many memories old and new,
but all I remember is holding you.
I understand now that you are gone forever
but I will see you again someday in heaven
and
promise we will spend all our time together.
I know that you are safe in heaven and I will send you
all my love
and I know you will be watching
from the skies above.
I wish God hadn't taken you away
but now your gone and there's nothing
left to say....

In Memory of Dallas
We'd like to think of pleasent thoughts
of an angels life she had
but here is something so unfair
that makes it all so bad
A constant reminder
five years it'll be
another sad occasion
the court had set him free
These things we do not like to hear
in life so its been told,
reality becomes upon us
lets not wait until we're old.
Don't take this life for granted
love your family
appreciate your children
and they're hopes and dreams will be
You are our little angel
sent from up above
in heaven we will see you
God will give you all his love.
Christmas Eve this year
we'll hold our candles high
and think about your memories
while looking to the sky
