OUR LITTLE LEONA, A TINY FLOWER SENT BUT NOT GIVEN TO BUD ON EARTH BUT BLOOM IN HEAVEN.
LEONA IS OUR THIRD CHILD, SISTER TO ELOISE 2 AND DUNCAN 1, SHE MADE OUR FAMILY COMPLETE. THEN OUR FAMILY WAS TORN APART WHEN SHE NEVER WOKE FROM HER SLEEP, ONLY 9 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS. ELOISE WOULD WANT TO CUDDLE AND CARE FOR HER, WHILE BOYSTROUS DUCAN ALWAYS HAD A GENTILE TOUCH FOR HER. SHE HAD A SMILE THAT COULD MAKE THE WORST DAY THE BEST AND EYES THAT COULD LIGHT THE DARKEST ROOM.
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that
God was going to 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.
LEONA WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS, X X X
