i would like to lite a candel for baby grace and this decatation.....
Dear Riley Ann Sawyers (A.K.A. Baby Grace), You don't know me, but I know you. I know you were only two years old when you were murdered. I know that your mommy and step-dad beat you with belts, held your head under water, picked you up by your hair and threw you onto a hard tile floor, ultimately breaking your skull and killing you. I know your mommy and step-dad purchased a plastic box to stuff your small, beaten body into, and that your mommy said they hid you in a shed for a month or two. I know that one day they took you to the ocean, and launched your small, plastic craft into it, with you inside. I know they were secretly hoping they would never see you again. You might have felt like no one wanted you, cared for you, or loved you. You were wrong. Your little boat washed up on shore near Galveston, Texas and a fisherman found you inside. The police did not know who you were, or if you had parents, so they adopted you and named you Baby Grace. Grown men who did not know you when you were alive, cried at your loss. An artist drew your picture. He made you smile and he made your eyes shine, as they should still be shining today. Millions of people saw this picture in the news, and wondered who this beautiful little girl was. In a way you came back to life for a short time, and we fell in love with you. Your mommy and step-dad murdered you, but please know that you are loved. You are loved by millions of people who never had a chance to see you dance or hear your laugh. You are loved by thousands of women who would give their lives to have just one baby like you to fill an emptiness in their hearts. You are loved by children who would love to have a friend like you. You are loved by the parents of grown children who long for just one bright-eyed grandchild to liven up their slowing days. You are loved by all who saw your story, and wished it weren't true. Your little soul is free now. I hope you will look at those of us here on earth, as we look up at you, and know how loved you are. Love, Everyone

I lit a candel for my younger brother who passed away last week. This was my card to his family: "Signature of a Brother"
Whether older, a twin, or younger, a brother is one of the first friends you can have in life. Brothers grow up together through play, school, church, and family life. My brothers were my playmates, my athletic team members, my study partners, and my Sunday School classmates. Brothers also get into mischief together. They laugh together and cry together. Brothers enjoy the good times, sad times, and past memories together. Brothers look to the future together. Humor, family time, exploration and adventure describes a brother. The ability to differ in opinions and agree; the ability to share and help each other, and the opportunity to share the happiness of life are hallmarks of brothers. A brother is a good thing to have, A brother is a good thing to be. Love Them--From the Heart!
