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.

I remember

With every breath I take, I remember
As seasons come and go, I remember
When I see a special sight we shared, I remember
Your face, your smile, your laughter, your life..I remember.

They said time would ease my grief, but..I remember.
They go on with their merry lives, but..I remember.
Merry Christmas tunes play in the stores and I remember.
A little girl and her mom walk past and I remember.

The memories bring warmth and light.
They also bring sadness and pain because
we aren't making more today.
Memories bring tears to this mother's heart
even though they are joyful to my mind.
They tears will keep rolling because I remember.

Where are you, Erin? Are you just a breath away?
Are you in the snow that falls? Or in the wind that blows?
Where is Heaven? I know it is where you are.
Oh, if I could only see you and hear your voice and feel your hugs.
My sweet girl who I love more than life.
I miss you as I remember.

Christmas is here once again but it is not merry.
It is a day of memories. Most are behind us, but for your
brother's sake a few still lie ahead.
But this I know--whether it's memories of the past, present, or
future--you will be a part of it all.
I remember you, my beautiful Erin, today and every tomorrow!!!

Missing my precious daughter ~Erin~ in this Christmas season!!

Two angels are waiting for me in Heaven--my Heather, who I never got to see but
will hold in my arms at last, and my Erin-my sunshine!!
