December 18, 1990.

Darling Heather Ranae, who was born,
and died on April 29th, 1984,
at five and a half months,
after living a precious
time of half an hour.

Heather's tiny brother Ryan Samuel,

November 11, 1984

And her little sisters,
Natalie Dawn
and Shannon Marie,
lost at three and a half months,
on January 11, 1988.

Two Tiny Snow Blossoms

Precious little ones;
fragrant, priceless
blossoms in the snow -
Natalie Dawn -
Shannon Marie -
how wanted you were!
How your mama misses you!

Oh, sweet little twin girls -
couldn’t you have stayed
on earth long enough
for mommy to have held you -
in her loving arms;
taken you home -
gotten to know you?!

Two tiny girls -
each of you a treasure -
each blessed with a soul -
a personality in bloom ...
growing in your secret place;
Jesus knew you so well
from your first moment!

No matter how much we know
that being in Heaven
is wonderful for you -
we will always wish, on this earth,
that we could have rocked you
in our arms.

Precious, precious dear wee ones -
you left us in the winter -
little snow blossoms ...
but your fragrance is a gift
that will remain with us.
Our tender, gentle memories of you
will bless us all of our lives -
until at last, when we get to Heaven ...
and with your brother Ryan,
your sister Heather Ranae,
and your sister Karen,
you come running!
