And the tears fall again

But these were grateful tears. To the sweet ladies who got together and sent me this wonderful gift

THANK YOU!!!!

I just can't express how it made me feel to open that box and see the angel and locket. Here are the pictures:



The inscriptions are as follows:
With the locket --> Since Heaven has become your home, I sometimes feel I'm so alone And though we now are far apart you hold a big piece of my heart. I never knew how much I'd grieve when it was time for you to leave, or just how much my heart would ache from that one frangment you would take. God lets this tender hole remain reminding me we'll meet again, and one day all the pain will cease when He restores this missing piece. He'll turn to joy my every tear, with thoughts of you I hold so dear, and they'll become my special way to treasure our Reunion Day.

On the angel's dress --> Every creature of God is good. I Timothy 4:4 Bless you my faithful friend, God's gift. Your beautiful trusting eyes can close knowing I love you and will see you soon.

When I unwrapped it, Stef was awestruck. She gasped and said "look mommy, an angel" I told her it was to help us remember Ellie.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I just can't say enough about how much this means to me, Steve, and Stef.
