Sweet Baby Hope

As many of you are aware, Morley and Virginia lost their sweet baby. They named her Hope. We were so lucky to be able to hold her. We could feel of her spirit. Her spirit was so strong. She was so sweet. She was just too perfect to live on this earth. We will miss her so much, but we do know that we will see her again. Take good care sweet baby Hope! We love you!

Sweet Baby Hope





This is a poem I read at the graveside service when we released the balloons

"We Remember Forever"

Hope, we will remember you forever.
Your preciousness, beauty and love
To acknowledge your life
Your importance
Your legacy
Gift and grace
For had we had a lifetime
We'd love you just the same.

You live
In our hearts
In heaven
An angel
A guardian
Shaping our thoughts and our lives.

Silent prayers, thoughts or tears - we release
Our hearts broken in pain
Pausing now for a moment
Uninterrupted -to express
Our love for you, Hope.

Towards the heavens our balloons rise
Higher higher they fly
Like butterfly messengers
And rainbow promises
As we say our earthly goodbyes, until we meet again!

We love you Hope! We will miss you!
