Erin Jones written by her grieving mom

Erin Leigh Fitzpatrick Jones made her Heavenly journey on March 2, 2006 at 23 years old. She was as beautiful inside as out and loved everyone. Her thoughts were always of others and she made the world a beautiful place for all who were close to her.

The Darkness

The darkness has come
The grief, the despair
They say the joy will return
But sorrow we bear.

The days are long and silent
Nights go on and on
Thoughts tumbling over and over
Dreams of you since you've been gone.

Trying to grasp every memory
Lest they float away like you
Touching everythign that you touched
Still believing it's not true.

They came and said, "Erin's dead!"
I cried out "It can't be!"
The daughter who I loved so
Is ripped away from me.

Still Heavenward you took your flight
Without a last "Goodbye"
Leaving us to face the night
And wonder, "Why, Lord, Why?"

My dearest daughter,
The darkness hasn't lifted much and it's been almost 3 months since you left us. I keep hoping I will wake up and it will all have been just a bad dream. But everyday I wake up and you are still gone from us.
I know you are with Jesus and that is my greatest comfort.
I miss you everyday.
Love,
Mama
