"It's the end of another year and so many thoughts go
swirling through our minds.  For many, it has been a
difficult year - job loss, loss of friends, loss of a home,
loss of health, and possibly one of the most lasting
losses of all - the loss of a child.  For some there will
be no celebration at the end of the year - only a lot
of tears for those dreams that were stolen away so
unexpectedly.
How does a person move on?  How can a person move
into the New Year with joy when so much sorrow
surrounds the heart?  It's not easy, but it helps to
remind yourself often that you are never, ever alone in
your pain.  There are times when we feel alone, but the
truth is that we are surrounded by hope and it is there
for us whenever we call out for help.
Look at nature in any season and be reminded of the
One who is in charge.   Look at the majesty of the
starry sky at night and know that you are counted among
the stars.  Listen to the sounds of the wind rustling through
the trees and hear the whisper of God letting you know He
is by your side.  Look for the rainbow painting the sky
and be assured that you have not been forgotten.  Remind
yourself often that hope is stronger than your pain! "-C. Hinton

"For every tear you cry, there is a seed of hope being watered."

On New Year's Day
and the whole year through,
I hope the kindness
you've given to others
returns many times to you.
May hope, love, and warmth
be in your heart's possessing,
and may the New Year
bring you and yours
many blessings.

MY NEW YEARS WISH TO YOU

.

May peace fill all the empty spaces around you
And within  you, may contentment answer all your wishes.

.
May comfort be yours, warm and soft like a sigh.
And may the coming year
show you that every day is really a first day,
a new year.

Always thing about youa11

MAY GOD GIVE YOU COMFORT, STRENGTH AND PEACE, THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, AND ALL YEAR THROUGH~

LOVE AND MANY HUGS~♥~

THE LOVING FAMILY OF DAVID GIRAUD♫♫

You and your mom are always in my thoughts and prayers. I pray for your mom to find the peace she is seeeking. Please know that others care.

THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS YOU LEFT ON MY DAVID'S SITE. YOUR SANDI WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON, TOO. THIS IS TRULY A HARD JOURNEY. OUR DAVID KILLED HIMSELF, AND HIS POOR DAD AND YOUNGEST BROTHER FOUND HIM. THEY NOW HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT IMAGE IN THEIR MINDS FOREVER!  WE FOUND OUT, AFTER HE DIED, THAT HE WAS VERY SICK, AND POSSIBLY DYING ANYWAY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY PAINFULL, OR SO I WAS TOLD. HE DIDN'T LEAVE A NOTE, SO IT'S REALLY ALL SPECULATION. BUT THIS PAIN IS THE WORST PAIN IN THE WORLD. MY SISTERS, AND MY HUSBANDS FAMILY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVEN'T "MOVED ON" THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND, AND I REALLY PRAY THEY NEVER DO. WE MAY NEVER MEET FACE TO FACE IN THIS LIFE, BUT I KNOW WE WILL IN THE NEXT, WHAT A CELEABRATION THAT WILL BE, RIGHT??? YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE IN MY PRAYERS, THOUGHT OF EVERY DAY. WE ALL JUST NEED TO TRUST GOD AND HANG IN~~

LOVE AND HUGS,

CATHY GIRAUD ( DAVID'S MOM )

      A beautiful rose for a beautiful angel!

Thank you very much for the candle and the kind words you left on Jordan's page. It means everything to keep his memory alive.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I can tell from looking at her pictures that she loved life. Her smile would light any room.

Sandi gained her wings about a month before my little Jordan and I am sure she met him with open arms.

I pray that you find comfort, strength and guidance to help you thru this journey. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless   ♥♥
