Mommy's Poem to Ava

To My Baby Ava Marie

You are my little girl., the only thing that matters in my world. the day you left my heart broke in two. I don't know how I am going to live without you. I miss your smile and your eyes so bright. When I held you in my arms everything felt right. I look in the sky and wonder where you are. But I know that you are never far. I get angry and ask God Why? Then I feel your comfort telling me please don't cry. For you are an angel with wings so white flying above me always within your sight. You watch over me and your dad kissing us on the cheek and telling us not to be sad. What heaven is like only you you know. You are probabky dancing on clouds with a golden halo. In my heart your memory will always bestrong. Your spirit and pretty face will live long. though saying good bye is so hard to do, I know that someday I will again see you...

Love Mommy

Our Beloved Ava passes away 10-5-2005

Our Heartfelt thanks for your thoughtfulness, prayers, and kind expressions of sympathy. Our Hearts are broken our Angel is gone but not lost….
We cherish our faith, family, friends and memories…as we try to understand and accept the emptiness we feel
Pat and Glenda Doherty & Family
