THANKSGIVING PRAYER  / BETH Dickerson (Jimmy's Mom )

Dear Father who art in Heaven...
Please join our family on this Thanksgiving Day
and bless each one as we sit down to pray
as we remember those who have joined you above
so dearly missed and deeply loved.

Please provide us strength on this Thanksgiving Day
Bless us with memories of those faraway...
Please grant patience to family and friends as we grieve
and help us reach out to others who are bereaved.

We give thanks to you on this Thanksgiving Day....
For Your presence in our lives each and everyday.
For Your comfort, guidance, and never ending love...
And for taking care of our loved ones...in Heaven above.

As we light this candle on this Thanksgiving Day...
And it glows in memory of those in Heaven today....
May their lights always shine down on us and give us light...
And may we feel their presence along with yours tonight.

May the peace and tranquility of this Thanksgiving Day
Be an everlasting light within each of us along the way...
Lets bow our heads and give our Thanks to God above.
For our blessings, whether on earth or in Heaven above...
Amen

GOOD GRIEF  / VERONICA ANGEL MOM TO ZACHARY VANWINKLE
Good Grief
By Joseph R. Veneroso

Between wordless sobs the soul cries out,
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord.
And prays despites a haunting doubt,
Let perpetual light shine on them.

Yet for us, the living, who remain to mourn the loss,
To feel the pain, to bear the shock, to question why
in God’s great plan they had to die, there is no peace,
No rest , no light nothing but an endless night.

When we, defeated by the truth, surrender to death’s
Other face, robbed of innocence and youth,
No power on earth can e’er replace,
Only in this, our darkest hour, can we truly hope to find
Among our tears God’s healing power, among our fears
True peace of mind, the simple faith to save our soul,
That perfect love to make us whole.

Against the sadness and the sorrow with every ounce of faith
Confessing hope for a better life tomorrow in our mourning
We find blessing.

Sixteen Months  / Mom

How can 16 months feel like such a short time and yet a long time as well?  God brings healing to the awful pain that sets in after the shock wears off.  You learn to live a "new normal"...it's not easy, but we do it.

Many Mourning Moms and Grieving Dads, find comfort in little things.  Does God really allow my Suzanne to send me butterflies?  I don't know for certain, but I see them all over.  And if I'm in need of one, and ask, there a butterfly will be!

Believe me, I would much rather have my daughter than a "SuzSign", but I don't have that choice.  So, the signs become a comfort.  A source of hope that we'll see our children or loved ones again.

Suzanne left for Heaven on June 16, 2005.  Sixteen has become a significant number for me.  So, I remember October 16, 2006...16 months since she's been with Jesus.

I love her and miss her every day of my life and always, always will, until I see her beautiful face again!

In My Thoughts  / Dianne Gow
I've been visiting this memorial site for Suzanne at least three times a week since it was created.  I have a memorial site for my daughter http://erika-ariza.memory-of.com.  I have a poem that I would like to share because it really helped me in my grief process.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, I won’t be there to see.
If the sun does rise to find your eyes all filled with tears for me…

I wish you wouldn’t cry so much, the way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say…

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too…

So when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand.
An angel came, called my name, and took me by the hand…

The angel said my place was ready, in Heaven far above.
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love…

Yet as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye.
For all my life I knew for certain, I didn’t want to die…

I had so much to live for so much I wanted to do.
It almost seemed impossible that I was leaving you…

I thought about all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad.
I thought about all the love we shared and all the fun we had...

If I could go back to yesterday, for just a little while.
I’d give you a hug and kiss you, hoping to see you smile…

Right then was when I realized, that this could never be.
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me...

And when I thought of worldly things, I may miss tomorrow.
I thought of you and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow...

But as I walked through Heaven's gate, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down He smiled at me, from His great throne...

He said, “This is all eternity, everything that I’ve promised you.
Today your life on earth is past, but here it starts anew…

I promise no tomorrow because today will always last.
And this is why there’ll never be any longing for the past...

You have been so very faithful, so trusting and so true.
Though you did do some things, you knew you shouldn’t do...

But you have been forgiven, and now at last are free.
Won’t you come and take my hand to share my life with me...

So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart"... 


For Suzanne's mom - You have and will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Twelve Months  / Nancy Stratmann (Mom)

Twelve months have gone by and still I hurt at losing Suzanne.  I see pictures of her and remember how “alive” she was, how truly sparkling her personality was and her smile so bright.

 

Of course, I remember her tears, as a child and adult.  I consider the things that hurt her or upset her.  Suz was angered over injustice, whether it was unfairness directed at her or someone she loved.  She supported those she loved with an intensity that was born in her heart.

 

She cried over losing people she loved, whether it was to death or a bad relationship.  Suzanne grieved for Steven, her cousin, who was shot and killed on December 16, 2000.  She never drove through Ventura without stopping at Steven’s place in the cemetery.

 

My daughter had her faults, as we all do, but she was the most loving person I’ve known.  She accepted people, no matter how they dressed, looked, or believed.  God gave Suzanne the gift of love…an unconditional love.  That love is still alive.  She may be gone from this earth, but not from the presence of God.  She’s alive with Him and loving like she never loved before.

 

I feel that love in my heart and spirit.  It’s God’s love perfected in her and sent to ease my pain and sorrow.  “There are three things that will endure---faith, hope, and love---and the greatest of these is love.”  1 Corinthians 13:13
