Brandon's Memorial Service |
Million Times A million times we've needed you, A million times we've cried. If love alone could've saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, No one else will ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone. Part of us went with you, The day God took you home. |
Our Little Angel will always be A precious gift and memory. Our time's been brief, our hours few, To make and mould a life that's new. But through the tears and burdens great Our prayers for strength will emanate. A glimmer of hope will show the way For us to go on from day to day. |

Special thank yous... to Lt. Matthew Stevens, Chaplain, for his support, intervention and comforting words to Diana (Chrysti's Great Aunt) for providing her beautiful musical talent to Sgt. Major Lewis for his special help above and beyond the call of duty to Glenn, Laurel and Aunt Eleanor (Chrysti's cousins and Aunt) for hosting a lovely reception to the many friends and family who've said prayers for us, sent cards and flowers, and traveled far to comfort us |
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold, So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try . The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye". So when a little child departs, we who are left beind Must realize God loves children. Angels are hard to find. |
Scripture readings from the service: Matthew 18:1-5, 10-14 II Samuel 12:16-23 |
