God Calls An Angel Home!!!
This is me ! Macey Hope Allison, I was born at Duke Medical Center in Durham, N.C., September 16, 1999, just when "Hurricane Floyd" hit North Carolina at 5:08 in the morning. I weighed 1 lb. 5oz. and was 13 1/2 inches long, just couldn`t wait to get here, I was born 3 months too early (in a hurry, huh?.
Here is a poem my grandma wrote me as soon as she knew I came here too early:
Macey Hope
Little Macey, please hold on tight
I Love You,
9/16/99
You came here too early before daylight
With doctors and nurses by your side
This will be a long hard ride
Your body’s so small, tiny and fragile
You need so much care, my little angel
With all the knowledge and science now
I feel you will make it for us somehow.
Macey Hope, please hang in there
With friends and family, we`ll all say a prayer
That God keeps you here for us to love
~Cause we know He sent you here from above.
God be with you Dear Macey and hold on tight
We’re here to love you with all our might.

This is where I stayed |
Mommy and Daddy and my grandparents too, want to "THANK" all who took care of me while I was alive. Everyone there was so very good to them to make them comfortable and informed of my birth and progress. And a "BIG THANK YOU" to Nurse Toni LaMazza, she was and is the best !
MAWMAWS FIRST TOUCH |
First Touch
I`ll never forget the feeling, the first time I touched your skin
I felt so warm inside with thoughts of you to keep within
You`re Mawmaws Little Angel, yet I could not see
Just how quickly you would leave as it was meant to be.
Little Macey Hope, I love you with all my heart
Your memory is here forever, although we`re far apart
God had a special reason for your leaving way too soon
Your birth came so early, before the new full moon
So now as I think of how I love and miss you so much
In the back of my mind, I`ll always feel that special touch.

We lost Macey, September 19, 1999 at 7:50 A.M. My heart just breaks in two for my son and Nikki, they wanted her so very bad, well we all did. She was "Our Angel". Macey had a hole in her left lung and was so very little, some children make it and some God takes with Him. She was too perfect for this world that has gotten so corrupted in the past few years.
I DEDICATE THIS PAGE TO MY GRAND-DAUGHTER;

Macey left her mark here for the short time she was with us, I watched her Daddy become a man right before my very eyes. He loved her and adored her and still does and always will. He took such good care of her Mommy, tending to her every needs. The doctors and nurses bragged so much on him, and I am so proud to call him, MY SON ! Macey surely would have been a daddy’s girl !
She brought love to so many of us, family members who for some strange reasons never came around, a grandmother who never had anything to do with her grandson for years and yet Macey brought them together. I do hope everyone saw the good Macey brought here to us and it remains in our thoughts and hearts forevermore.
"Macey, you served your purpose here for such a small amount of time, but you made an impact that won’t ever be forgotten. God will hold you for us and give you the love you most need and deserve."
God Bless You My Little Angel

FOR MACEY |
Saying Goodbye
Sleep now little angel
Love from Daddy, Mommy and your family
written by Sylvia Allison
God is watching over you,
Saying goodbye now
is the hardest thing to do.
We lost you for a reason
no need to question why,
As we sit here hurting
trying to say goodbye.
Needed to let you know
we’re loving you everyday,
This is really not farewell
you’ll be with us in every way.
Little Macey Hope,
you brought life to a family
Now you are in Heaven
as it was meant to be.
God will be here with us
in our hearts you will remain
Till someday He will call us
to be with you once again.
So, sleep now little angel
on God we will rely,
This is not farewell
we’re just trying to say goodbye.
