  Gone in the twinkling of a eye, not time to say "I love you"

or "Good-bye". Why you had to go home so soon, we still

don't understand, we simply trust that it was the Lord's

master plan.

  How we'd feel, He already new, for he experienced the death

of His Son. So many things happened we wish you had been here for,

birthdays and weddings, a little neice you would adore. That was named

after you.

  While we still miss you and find it hard to let go, we know

when the Lord said "Come" you couldn't say "No". We've

learned to live day to day with our grief, praying that our

seperation will be brief.

  Now you're in Heaven where you'll worry no more, for you're

walking and talking with Jesus forevermore.

  We look for the day when we will see all Heaven has to view,

never again to be seperated from Jesus, family, freinds, or

you.

                With love till we meet again,

                Nanny & Papa Bullard

                & all of the family.

We've shared our hearts, full of Holiday Cheer

and shopped for presents for loved ones this year.

The house is dressed up with garland

and lights that sparkle and shine through

the Holiday nights.

But even with all of this Holiday bliss

There's someone we lost that we terribly miss

and as this Christmas day draws near

we wish with all our hearts she was here.

She's living her life way up past the stars

Somewhere past Jupiter, Saturn and even Mars

She's spending her Christmas in Heaven, you see

and last night as I slept a dream came to me

She was standing before me, happy and well

she said to me "I have something to tell....

Heaven's more wonderus than you would believe

Its the greatest of gifts I could ever receive.

I'd like for you all to remember the good...

you know that I'd be there if only I could.

So don't feel so bad that I'm not there

there are so many memories you can share

As you gather together, I'm sure you'll find

the memories deep within you that I left behind.

Each one is unique and wrapped brightly in love

They shine from your hearts as I SHINE FROM ABOVE

God looked around his garden
and saw an empty place.
He then looked down on earth,
and saw her tired face.
He put his arms around her
and lifted her to rest.
God's garden must be a beautiful place,
He only takes the best.

He knew that she would never
get well on earth again.
He saw the road getting rough
and the hills hard to climb,
So he closed her weary eyes
and whispered "Peace Be Thine".

It broke our hearts to lose her,
but she did not going alone.
for part of us went with her
the day God called her home.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartaches could make a lane,
we'd walk a path to Heaven
and bring her home again.

True  Happiness

is like the

BUTTERFLY

The more you persue it,

the more it will elude you,

But if you are patient

and still, it will come

softly and

land on

your

Shoulders

 
The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel’s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.

The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.

The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I’m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.

The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn’t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.

If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.

I reminisce our Christmas’ past
The joy and love we shared
Moonlit walks and midnight talks
And ways you showed you cared.

Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.

Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I’m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.

So hold a place in heaven dear
Someday when life is through
I’ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.

IT'S BEEN ONLY A FEW MONTHS

SINCE WE HAD TO PART

ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE MY MEMORIES

WHICH LIVE DEEP IN MY HEART.

I MISS YOU OH SO MUCH

AT TIMES TO MUCH TO BARE

IMAGINING WAHT COULD HAVE BEEN

FILLS MY MIND, IT JUST ISN'T FAIR.

I KNOW YOU SEE ME CRYING

THESE TEARS I HAVE FOR YOU,

LOOKING AT YOUR PICTURES

HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH

I REMEBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES

ALL THE PLANS THAT YOU HAD MADE

THE MEMORIES ARE SO CLEAR

YOUR LOVE WILL NEVER FADE.

WHEN I'M THINKING OFYOU SADLY

AND MISSING YOU THE MOST

I CLOSE MY EYES AND PICTURE YOU HERE

THAT'S HOW I KEEP YOU CLOSE

MY DARLING JESSALYN

TOGETHER ONE DAY WE'LL BE

AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU

FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY

BABE,

THINGS JUST ARE NOT THE SAME I MISS OUR LIL TALKS, I HANG TIGHT TO ALL MY PRECIOUS MEMORIES I HAVE OF YOU, YOUL LEFT ME SO MANY THANKS,

I WILL KEEP YOU CLOSE TO MY HEART TILL I SEE YA AGAIN, ASK GOD TO HELP US ALL OUR HEARTS ACHE SO,  KNOW I LOVE YOU LIKE YOU WERE MINE, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SOMETIMES I  KNOW I HEAR YOU SAYING "NOW AUNT MISSIE" JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS DONE, WISH I COULD JUST TELL YOU  HOW MUCH YOU MEANT TO ME, I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALL OF ETERNITY, I KNOW YOU ARE WITH ME I FEEL YOU EVERYWHERE, I KNOW YOU WILL BE HERE WITH ,JUST BECAUSE YOU CARE. UNTIL I GET TO SEE YOU WITH YOUR PINK MANISION ON THE HILL,KNOW MY LOVE  I MISSYOU AND THE PAIN WILL NEVER HEAL.

We feel you in the morning
When at first we awake
Your thought is with us
With each decision we make

You'd been around forever
Since the first breath some took
Now we have to go on alone
But for love, we need not look

Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in our hearts
Forever and ever

Although you've left
And now walk above
We are never alone
We are wrapped in your love

Enjoy now your long waited reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to us, will be taught to ours
Cause you live on in us even after you've gone

Dear BABE we miss you,
We love you so much you see.
To lose some one at such a young age
Multiplies the agony.
We’re doing our best to trust God
But to be honest questions abound.
Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why is it you’re not still around?
We praise God for so many good memories
And we feel his comforting touch.
We know God has never made a mistake
But dear child it still hurts so much.
We know you’re happy with Jesus
And that brings some cheer our way.
We look forward to being with you again
When we get to Heaven someday.

 I went to wake You, like I used to each & every day.

 Again You were not there, Will the emptiness ever go

 away?

  I said," Get-up Booger Britches, time to start the day,"

  I waited for you to peep-out from under the covers,

 In your usual sleepy way.

These days, Your room is  so tidy, neat and bare.

No secrets for the walls to hear,

No gossip for us to share.

I want to change the decor to the way you wanted before you left.

But, I can't seem to even wash your clothes,

Or move a picture on your desk.

The pictures on your wall, are still exactly the same.

Although, Your Brother alters the ones on your mirror,

that he changes almost every day.

I enter your room softly and sit and stare at the the walls.

I wait in silence, as if I can hear you laugh or maybe even talk.

Without your sweet laughter or little Country voice,

I realize a life without it, was not at all my choice.

I wipe away the tears, running slowly down my pouting face.

I look around & see that in this Great Big World,

You took up, such a tiny space.

Every Girl, dreams of a Big House with a white picket fence.

But, You & only you, could make a Home from anywhere

and truly be content.

I'll walk out now and slowly turn off the light.

Until my feet hit the floor at tommorrow's earliest light.

But, as I close the door behind me, to a room so cold & empty.

I know your room here, just as yours up above,

is full of love and all Our Precious Memories..                      

Written on: October 22, 2007

By: Melissa Tucker for My Daughter, Jessalyn

Something so hard
goes straight to the soul
it seems impossible to get over
and my heart is left with a big hole

I'm trying to be happy, wearing a smile
but I'm dying inside
The world seems to be fading
and I just want to run and hide

Everywhere I go I see your face
and realize how much I miss you
and on the day you left
my heart left too

To: My Dearest Family

Some things I'd like to say, But first of all

to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above,

where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight,

Remember that I'm with you, every morning, noon & night.

That day I had to leave you, when my life on Earth was through,

God picked me up & hugged me & He said," I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest Family, They'll be here later on.

I need You here so badly, as part of my Big Plan,

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do,

And foremost on that list of mine, is to watch & care for you.

And I will be beside you, every day & week & year.

And when your sad, I'm standing there, to wipe away the tear.

And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight.

God & I are closest to you, in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on Earth & all those loving years,

Because you're only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain.

Remember, there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you of all that God has planned.

But, if I were to tell you, You wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over.

I am closer to you now, than I ever was before.

And to my very many Friends, Trust God knows what is best,

I'm still not far away from You, I'm just beyond the crest.

There are rocky roads ahead of you, & many hills to climb.

But together, we can do it, taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy & I'd like it for you too,

That as you give unto the World, So the World will give to you.

If you can help somebody, who is in sorrow or in pain,

Then you can say to God at night, "My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented, that my life was worthwhile,

Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So, if you meet somebody, who is down & feeling low,

Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you are walking down the street & you've got me on your mind,

I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.

And when you feel the gentle breeze, or the wind upon your face,

that's me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.

And when it's time for you to go, from that body to be free,

Remember you're not going, You are coming here to me.

And I will always love you, from that land way up above.

We'll be in touch again soon.

P.S. God sends his love..

( I received this Poem in the mail today from a very special couple, Thank You so much, Brett & Lauren, for sending this from Jess.)

Jessalyn you are missed so
and words can not describe.
The feelings that I have for you
those feelings deep inside.

And Babe know I love you
unconditional is my love.
To talk, to hold, to have known you,
I thank the lord above.

Yes Jessalyn you've always been there
and I've thank you so much.
Strength, tenderness and kindness
you have that loving touch.

And Babe you are my hero
and I your biggest fan.
I will forever love you
you are the best of any friend.

Yes Jessalyn, I want to thank you
for everything you've done.
You've made my life so special girl,
you are the special one.

And Girl I miss you so,
because you were so grand.
The greatest friend ever
to have walked upon this land.

Jessalyn, one day up in heaven
together we will be.
You will always be my Babe
for all eternity.

Yes Jessalyn I've always loved you
right from the very start.
I'll always keep you close to me
forever in my heart.
