Michèle


 

February 9,1979 ~ May 24, 1985


 

My sweet girl Michèle

It was suppose to be her birthday today


Count to twenty-seven now

How will I ever forget?

Each time my heart cries out to you

Life mistreated me once more

Each day of remembrance a living hell

My heart goes out to you Tinka. What tragedy you've experienced in your life. Yet God still has work for you to do; look at how many lives you've touched so far. Michele will always be with you and one day you'll see her too. One day we will all be together....Daring

Dear Tinka, I am so sorry for your loss. Its really hard to loose some one you love and care about so much . When Joshua died, a part of me went with him, and after 7 yrs , I still miss him so much. I had to do something to turn my life around after his death, so each day I'd do something good for some one in his name. It helped . I will pray for you.......M

I am so sorry that your loss was brought to your memory once again, recently I had just such a memory as I remembered my brother who died many years ago on December 9th, so I made a deal with the loss. I made an effort to remember how we laughed, and the times we went fishing and played starlight in a neighbors yard. I still cried but the joy was stronger then the sadness! Sandi

Dear Tinka,

Though a sad write it is also a testament to how much you obviously love and miss your lost child. The tears that wash the pain from your heart have been many but the tears of joy when you someday reunite will be even more.

Tinka you've penned a write that has brought tears to my eyes and a sadness in my heart for I don't think there would be a pain more painful than a mother's loss. My nephew and his wife lost thier six month old baby in a car accident two years ago this month...such a hard part of life to understand! My thoughts and prayers are with you my dear friend...

Forever dwelling within your soul, and her name forever adored.
No wonder The Beatles found melody in the name. No wonder the Hebrew language accords the name with the meaning 'resembles God', that is in all His attributes.

May you find comfort in the richness of her memory at this sad time.

Tinks ...

I cannot imagine the depths the loss of a child takes the human soul too. I lost a mother in 1998 and that dragged me through emotional hell for months.

I know that often there is no rhymne or reason for what happens to those around us. I know without doubt that each day is precious and each breath a gift. Stand strong dear sissy!

Yur big bro ...
