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.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU DUSTIN!
I am Home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
And he came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus’ arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it while life remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus’ land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Sometimes
Sometimes while looking through the closet,
I catch myself
Smelling your clothes, just to catch a scent of you.
Sometimes while surfing the radio channels,
I catch myself
Listening to a song you once listened to.
Sometimes when I'm lonely and need to call someone,
I catch myself
Calling a person who was a friend to you.
Sometimes when looking through the photo album,.
I catch myself
Looking at pictures of you only.
Sometimes at night when I can't sleep,
I catch myself
Crying over the memories I have of you.
Sometimes at night when I pray
I catch myself
Thanking God for blessing us with you.

In Loving Memory Of
Dustin James Ellis
Feb.21,1985 - March 17, 2001
I'm wounded and a doctor can't take away my pain,
My Heart is broken, My tears fall like rain.
My grieving never stops, My pillow is never dry,
My mind never stops wondering, the question is
always, "WHY?"
You were born into Heaven a year ago today,
I would have given anything if you could've stayed.
You weren't ever suppose to leave me, I wasn't ready
for you to go.
In life you were my brother, in Heaven you are my
Hero!
I love you and miss you more each day.
Love, your sister "Tasha"
Happy First Heaven's Birthday
Dustin even though you were not with us as your sister was
married,
We felt your presence,
and thank you so much for the signs that let us
know, you were there.
This lady reminds me of myself,
Life without Dustin is like
watching others through a window of tears.
Blessed Are They That Mourn
For They Shall Be Comforted.
Matthew 5:3-5
My Journeys just begun
Don't think of me as gone away
My journey's just begun,
Life holds so many facets
This earth is but one.
Just think of me as resting
From the sorrows and the tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think of how I must be wishing
That you could know today,
How nothing but your sadness
Can really go away.
And think of me as living
In the hearts of those I touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost
And I know I was loved so much.
