A special poem from her mom: Our Song You took a piece of me with you the day you left, leaving me unable to catch my breath. This isn't how it was supposed to be! The world carries on like nothing happened, but not for me. I'm stuck in the uncomfortable place of pain that no one else can see. I ask God to bring you back as I fall to my knees. Tossed to and fro in a raging tide of emotion. Without you, I'm just so lost and broken. I can still hear you calling my name. The reality sets in, and I'm reminded my life will never be the same. Out of the corner of my eye, I see you there, but when I turn to look, you fade away. What I wouldn't give to just have one more day. One more day to hold your hand and to watch you live your life as you planned, One more day to sing our song, "When I See You Again," and listen to you sing it to your daughter too. I think about all the things I'll miss. I don't know how to make it through this when all I want is to call it quits. As I look into your daughter's eyes, I know I have to carry on so I can tell her about her mom. I'll tell her how much you loved her and how you couldn't wait for her to be here. Because of her, I know you will always be near. My little girl has gone, but to her daughter, I will continue to sing our song. Love, Mom A poem from her sisters, Jericka Dowdy and Alandria Sanders: Missing You Always You Never said, "I'm leaving;" You never said, "goodbye." You were gone before you knew it, Only God knows why. In life I loved you dearly; In death I love you still. I hold a place in my heart that only you can fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone; A part of me went with you the day God took you home. Love, Your Sisters A poem from her brothers, Ryan Woolsey and Alandus Sanders: Answer Answers to prayers come in various ways; sometimes in minutes, sometimes in days. And some take years to fully unfold. Their harvest of love and blessings they hold. Love, Your Brothers A poem from family and friends : God Knows When we are happy or when we are blue, God is aware of whatever we do; All of our sorrows He takes as His own, and He will never leave us alone. Love, Your Family and Friends
