You came into our lives softly,

like a sunrise breaking through the clouds,

never loud, never seeking to be seen,

yet you made everything brighter.

Your laughter had a melody

that could lift the heaviest hearts.

Your kindness was a language

the world understood without words.

We shared dreams, secrets, and quiet smiles

moments so simple, yet golden now.

You listened when the world was too loud,

you cared when others turned away.

And though your journey ended too soon,

your light did not go out.

It lingers in every life you touched,

in every memory that whispers your name.

We’ll look for you in the morning sun,

in the calm of evening skies,

in the warmth of friendship and love,

for you are still here,

not gone, just moved into eternity’s embrace.

Sleep well, dear Christy,

beautiful soul, gentle friend.

You were loved more than words can tell,

and missed more than time can heal.

A Final Goodbye to Our Mommy

They tell us our mommy is with Jesus now. We saw her before she had to go away. We came to the hospital and held her hand. We laughed together.

To our mommy,

You were our whole world.

You were the first face we ever saw.

We don't understand where you've gone, but we remember...

We remember the way you kissed our hurts, making the pain disappear with just your touch. We remember how you sang for us to sleep, your voice softer than any lullaby.

You were our sun, and we were your little planets, spinning in the safe orbit of your love.

When we saw you at the hospital, we didn't know it was the last time. We thought we were just giving you hugs to make you feel better.

Now we know we were storing up your love to last us forever.

Please don't worry about us, Mommy.

We will remember your smile and your laughter and carry the feeling of your heartbeat in our souls.

They say you were a mother for eight short years, but you loved us for a lifetime.

Now, you have all of us with you, and we have all of you in our hearts.

We will love you until w are in your arms again mommy
