This is so sad to see such a young lady go on but glad she went so easily at the end. I think we would all like to "go on" like that!! My niece was a Down's syndrome baby also & she was the sweetest girl, could read & write nice letters. She lived into her 50's. I had a friend paralyzed from neck down from basal artery stroke(back of neck) & it's a very difficult way to live, she couldn't even speak. I'm glad your niece is free to be with loved ones & hope family can accept their freedom too. Hugs & prayers. Jan

ANGELS AMOUNG US

The life I live was not for me;
And yet I followed faithfully;
The path that Jesus planned for me;
An Angel unaware, You see?

I had a mission to perform;
The very reason I was born;
Was not for you to mourn for me;
T'was an angel unaware, you see?

It was a joy to live for you;
And teach the 'gift' of servatude;
Just like Christ, we all must be;
I was an Angel unaware, you see?

Remember me smiling while I was there?
Gifted from the Lord Himself to share;
With you who lovingly cared for me;
An Angel unaware, you see?

That was so sweet susie...Thank you...She went through so much in her short time. The last surg she had after this happened, the first one they had to go through the back of her neck again to try and repair the mess from the fall, and the 2nd one they had to go through her mouth again to get to the front of the spine to repair the damage from the fall. This timne they had to split her tounge and chin an i'm not to sure about the roof of her mouth. It just took it's toll this time. She had a feeding tube and trach also and still had to wear a neck brace after having a halo for months and months...But like susie's poem said "she was an Angel...

When we read something like this, we can only hope we read it wrong. I feel so deeply for you and your family, Leveta! Bless her little heart! This saddens me so much ..... just chokes me right up. I know she was a blessing to you all, and you'll always have your treasured memories of the time you had with her. It's just too sad to lose a child. Love, Hugs, Prayers ~tenderlee

Oh my,prayers and love sent your way.
Your special niece is missing from her earthly life but she will be waiting for you and the rest of her family!
God only lent his angel out for a short time and he needs her now.
That cannot mend all the heartache but should remind us to love stronger while on this earth. To have faith everyday like we know today could be our last.
Life on earth is temporary that is why he gave Jesus die for us and to lead us to eternal life.

Leveta~

I'm so very sorry about your niece's passing, but she is, as you say, with Jesus and she is healthy and will be happy forever. She touched many lives in her short life and was a blessing to all of you I'm sure. I'll be keeping you in my prayers!

Thank you all...

That precious child went thru so much. Its heart-breaking.
I'm glad she's at peace and with loved ones, and what she told her Mom about seeing Jesus is so special. I know her Mom will treasure that forever.

Bless you and your family as go thru this loss of an angel.
hugs, Karen

Leveta,
I am so sorry for your loss of your precious neice! She seemed like truly a very speial angel! When any of us want to complain we should be reiminded of her true grit. I'm sure that those surgeries and recovery were not without pain. BUT, now she can run, jump, swim and so on with the new body she has in Heaven. My prayers are with you and her parents and siblings and all those who helped care for her needs.
Love, Jules

leveta ... tears of sorrow for this precious child of God. I do not know your niece but I can see thru your words the "smile" she left behind for you and your family. Prayers coming your way that God will continue to hold you and your loved ones up...as His tears fall, this child smiles. Thank you for sharing your precious niece. Jeanne S.

Leveta...Hugs & prayers for the family & friends she left behind. She is so beautiful in her picture, but I saw her beauty in your words of her before I saw the picture. God gives us special people in our lives to remind us how very precious this life is. My Aunt Mary had Downs and after my dad retired from AF lived with us until she passed in 2003 @ 45. She too always had a smile like your precious niece. She was a great judge of character too. We were all made better people by having known her.I miss her alot, but am so happy to know she is with the Lord & living it up !How special the message was your neice gave your family at the end.Gain strenghth in the knowlege she is surrounded by love & will be waiting for you....Hugs...Judy

Judy thank you for your kind words. I don't know anyone who had the courage she did. I know before this happened to her she was so scared that she would have to go back to the hospital. Then bammm this all happened. I have to laugh cause anytime she came she was always hungry. And just loved to write. She had a notebook and pencils here and that's the first thing she wanted...She couldn't have anything with milk in it, it made her go to the bathroom. Now she can eat all the choc bars she wants. AND chicken Mcnuggets...She loved Highschool Musical. But her smile, i'll never forget it...

* ~ Thanks again Leveta ~ * For sharing your

Awwwwwwwww, leveta, I am so sorry to hear about your young niece. Isn't it amazing how sweet and unselfish people with down syndrome can be? I used to work for Goodwill years ago and they never failed to bring a smile to my face and make my heart feel lighter. I think Susie's poem really hit home. I think it is so cool that she saw Jesus and her loved ones on the other side and new she was going somewhere great before she passed on. My prayers are with you and your family.

Today was her veiwing and tomorrow is her funneral...She looked so cute...They had butterfies in her hair. She looked so sweet...They had all her rings on her. I gave her two, one was praying hands and the other said I LOVE YOU with a heart...I never seen the like of people and little gifts and flowers...It shows all the hearts she touched...Thank you all for your thoughts...

Ms Leveta:
Just wanted to check in with you and see how you and
the family are doing.... ?
Hope things are going smoooooothly for ya'll !
I know this has been a very difficult time...
and I pray that
you are handling things and letting GOD LOVE YOU
during your time of loss of your
PRECIOUS Little NIECE ! ! !

God Bless ~ You are remembered in Our PRAYERS !
Special Encouraging thoughts are always
coming your way !

Your GJ Friends....

Oh susie Thank You...We are doing fine. The viewing was hard. But after a good cry we were ok. Mom(her granmother) took pretty hard, but like I said we all had a good cry and got it out it was better...I know she's happy and whole now and that makes a difference. Her granpa(my brother) came in today to spend time with his daughter(kyrstyn's mom). He and his wife had just got to England when all this happened and couldn't get back for the funeral. Again Thank You...They don't call you susiesunshine for nothing...lol
