~BORN TO HEAVEN~
SEPTEMBER 20, 1999

KRIS HAD A STROKE ON LABOR DAY 1999,

GOD CALLED HER HOME

~THE PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI~

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
...where there is injury, pardon;
...where there is doubt, faith;
...where there is despair, hope;
...where there is darkness, light;
...where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
...to be consoled as to console;
...to be understood as to understand;
...to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
...it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
...and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

~THE BROKEN CHAIN~
~Author Unknown~

We had no way of knowing
when God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly.
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

SPECIAL SISTER TO
KATHIE SMITH

CHERISHED DAUGHTER TO
PAUL & KATHLEEN SMITH

Everyday of my life I thank God for giving me my daughter Krissy. I gave birth to her, but she was never mine to keep. God called Kris home after 25 short years. In death Krissy's heart beats on, her lungs fill with air and her eyes still see because of her unselfishness. She was an organ donor.
Kris taught me the true meaning of motherhood with her dedication and love towards her boys. Krissy was a very humble person and I am sure she is shocked to see how many lives have been effected by her passing. Mine for one has been greatly effected in ways I would like to share.
I now do not take any day for granted, I try to find the goodness in people, and that forgiving someone does not have to be painful, but healing. Also by giving of myself I recieve so much more than taking for myself.
Krissy you are forever in our hearts and alive in our memories.

I see your beautiful smile looking down on us from Heaven and your helping hand in our healing. I will always keep my promise to you.

I love you girlfriend,
Mom

~THIS CHILD OF MINE~
~Edgar A. Guest~

I'll lend you for a little time,
A child of mine he said.
For you to love there as she lives,
And mourn when she is dead.
It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty two or three.
But will you, 'til I call her back,
Take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And shall her stay be brief.
You'll have her lovely memories,
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn.
I've searched the wide world over,
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love,
Nor think the labor vain.
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take her back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joy thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may.
And for the happiness we've known,
Will ever grateful stay.
But shall the angels call for her,
Much sooner than we planned.
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
.....And try to understand.

MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU.
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK.
MAY THE SUN SHINE WARM UPON YOUR FACE,
THE RAINS FALLS SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND,
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.

I would like to thank my sister Mona and friend Kathy for being
with me during some very dark days and for helping me see daylight.

Thank you to Liz you are so kind!

Kathie, my daughter, you are my angel on earth, thank
you for all those nights you stayed with me and cried.

~WIND BENEATH MY WINGS~
~Bette Midler~

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked one step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It may have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth,
of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touched the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
