| Daughters hold a special bond
That nothing can replace Their smiles can chase the blues away And brighten up a face. Joys I've known, a special day Shared between us two Secret talks and peaceful walks Just to name a few. Times of reminiscing The day you learned to crawl Looking through the photos I’ve always kept them all. But one sad day, the doorbell did ring It tore my world in two A voice came on the other end “I have bad news for you.” The precious girl, I loved so much Had quickly left me So many things we might have known Will never come to be. Thoughts of her are everywhere I cannot let her go But somewhere up in heaven A star does softly glow. She sees a Joy unknown to me Her face is full of Light They walk into the Promised Land God holds her hand so tight. Just as the shifting sands of time Flows gently out to sea Here today and gone tomorrow My child has been set free. ~I Love You, Kiddo!~ Dad |

| Fly
Celine Dion Fly, fly little wing Fly beyond imagining The softest cloud, the whitest dove Upon the wind of heaven's love Past the planets and the stars Leave this lonely world of ours Escape the sorrow and the pain And fly again Fly, fly precious one Your endless journey has begun Take your gentle happiness Far too beautiful for this Cross over to the other shore There is peace forever more But hold this memory bittersweet Until we meet Fly, fly do not fear Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear Your heart is pure, your soul is free Be on your way, don't wait for me Above the universe you'll climb On beyond the hands of time The moon will rise, the sun will set But I won't forget Fly, fly little wing Fly where only angels sing Fly away, the time is right Do now, find the light |

| If Tears Could Build A Stairway
If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk right up to Heaven And bring you back again No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No on will ever know But know we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store Since you’ll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you’ll always stay |
|
| Just like a beautiful,
long-stemmed rose, Her precious memory grows and grows, Touching the hearts of all of those she loved. And like the fragrance of that same rose, Her love, so sweet, still flows and flows, Filling our lives with a warmth that shows she’s still there. So like a forever-blooming rose, The beauty she shared eternally glows, For deep in our hearts, each of us knows she lives! |

| When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, 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; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an Angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile, I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me. And when I though of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity, and all I’ve promised you". Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day’s the same day, there’s no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn’t do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free. So won’t you take my hand and 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 here, in your heart. |

You were my beautiful step-daughter Who now lives inside my heart, Because the bond once shared Even death could never part. Time does not heal the pain I feel Every moment my heart still aches, As we're all thinking about our precious one With every breath we take. I know you're still with us all as I sit and watch the leaves fall, When we call out to you We can still see your beautiful smile. I want you to know how much I miss you and together again we'll be, Because we know you're waiting in Heaven Where we'll live forever in eternity. ~Forever in all of our hearts~ Renee' |

I can't say goodbye to you. I'll carry you with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life. I'm sorry I never told you how much you meant to me.

| IN LOVING MEMORY Words can't explain how much you meant to me... I don't even really know what to say. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!! You were my sister and best friend. We grew up together pretty much. We have had many good times together. Even though sometimes we didnt get along we always found a way to work things out. I'm really going to miss you and I love you. I will always keep a piece of you in my heart forever. RIP DeeDee 11/3/07 ~Tiffany~ |

| Her Father’s Angel
The world was changed forever on November 3rd, 2007 As God chose to call out Dee Dee’s name and take her back home to heaven. She was loving, kind, and caring; fully sharing of her heart and soul. To help make the world a peaceful loving place was Dee Dee’s ultimate goal. She was the one who was there to listen –be it a story of good or bad. She was the one whose heart would break in two when someone she loved was sad. She was the daughter of my brother– the youngest of his three. He was the one sitting there in the front row of the church that some just chose not to see. And he’s the one whose heart was breaking as he tried to hold back the flood of tears, As he sat there remembering HIS little girl and the memories they had shared through the years. He had been the first man to hold her, and the first man to wipe her tears. He was the first man there to protect her and calm away all her fears. But his name was never mentioned as the words of comfort were spoken. –He was so proud to have Dee Dee as his daughter and even more his heart was broken. For if not for Sherwood Palmer we’d have not had this angel to share. Dee Dee was his daughter; Why did so many seem not to care? There were words of remembrance and memories of Dee Dee’s kindness and love. And I’m sure her heart was breaking as she looked down from above. For once again he sat there in the front row at the cemetery looking on, Just trying to face the reality that his little girl was really gone.. But Dee Dee was looking down on him– and I’m sure she felt his pain. This was her Dad and she loved him. Why STILL had nobody mentioned his name? Well, true to the words that were spoken She once again came through And sent us the love and comfort in the ways only she could do. But her Dad is the one she chose from us all because he was the one pushed aside, And if we could have seen her standing there I know we’d have seen her cry. So she went with him as he left the place where her body was laid to rest, For he was the man in her life who had loved her first and best. She embraced her Father tightly in her beautiful angel wings, She’ll hold him close and comfort him through the pains this cold world brings. With him in her care And her in his heart– Is where they will always remain. –Until the day comes when he sees her sweet smile and holds his sweet angel again!! —Alicia Fortenbacker November 10, 2007 |

On November third two thousand seven Dee Dee Palmer was called to Heaven I have a story to tell that's sad It's all about Dee Dee's dad She was his daughter number three The joy of his life anyone could see At her ceremony his name was never spoken He sat in silence; his heart was broken Had it not been for Sherwood, my son There'd never been a Dee Dee upon this earth to run Her loving Grandmother Ivah |
