When I found out I was pregant with her
I was very excited, but when I
found out something was wrong I
got very scared.

I was a teennage mom and a single parent.

I accepted Victoria with loving arms and
put all of my efforts into raising
this special child .

Victoria and I where buddies to the end.

I know that Victoria thanks me for being her Mommy
and for doing everything for her

Especially loving her.

I am expecting another baby in July,
and another girl.

We know this baby will be loved just as much
as I love Victoria, and
there will always be an Angel
watching over me and her new sister.

Mommy wanted to tell you she loves you forever
and will always miss you.

God Be with you my sweet Angel.

Your Mommy forever

This is for the Down Syndrome of Arizona

You are the best.

With your help we learned to deal with a
special needs child, a special child from God.

The love and support you gave us really helped our
special Angel Victoria.

Gina Johnson was the best and she even came to
the hospital to see her when she was sick.

She is just a loving and giving person.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Darlene Diemer and Belinda Petersen.




Whisper of an Angel

The whisper of an angel,
Can open Heaven's gate,

A glimpse of faith and courage,
A love strong enough to wait,

Whisper you are safe,
Whisper softly,angel love,

My heart is aching so,
Needing comfort from above,

Tell me you are with me,
Whisper gently in my ear,

"You will always be my mommy",
In the quiet I will hear,

My heart still aches to hold you,
I close my eyes and see,

Your face now,one year later,
And who you were to be,

Though dreams I once held close,
In the distance now,so far

Still you're more than just a child,
You're the twinkle in the stars,

So I'll hear your angel whispers,
"You never need let go,

Hold me, mommy, close within",
Though the pain and sorrow flow,

One day we shall reunite,
Angels whisper words of grace,

And I promise I will hold you,
In another time and place.
