My Beloved Precious Marjorie

My little Margie, born with such delight,
Petite and fragile with eyes so bright.
A beauty like her Grandma Marge,
Feminine and dainty with a heart that was large.

At 9 and a half months she took her first steps;
I knew she was curious and my heart leapt.
Life was a marvelous adventure for her at best
The fear of her seeking put this mother�s heart to the test.

Knowing she would stumble and as I let her go,
Knowing this was the only way for her to grow.
She loved and accepted others just where they were at;
She is a gift from heaven and that is a fact.

Her joy for nature and animals so free,
She could see something there that only her heart could see.
Something undescribable on this earthly plain,
To show us her love for us and her life was not in vain.

I will feel her little kisses in the gentle breeze,
And a touch of her hugs in the waters that please.
Knowing she is happy now and out of her pain
Into her Saviors arms, she is different and yet the same.

Free from her burdens and free from her fears,
She will be with us in all of our tears.
Knowing the beauty of her release gives this mothers heart peace.
Heaven seems sweeter knowing in eternal life,

She�s ceased from her troubles and strife.
Heaven is her home now with Jesus at her side,
Where "Perfect Love and Acceptance" is where she abides.
Even though my mothers heart aches,

I will forever love you, my Marjorie,
And when the Lord calls me home what a meeting that will be.
Forever Your Mother, Norma Jean

Marjorie Mae Bowen ~*~ Sunrise - April 13th, 1966 * Sunset - August 19th, 2001

My friend from England sent these lovely angels.. Her name is Joan Taylor and she lost a very special friend, her cat Tibby...

Marjorie, You have been gone from us for 8 long years now.. We miss you so much.. You should be doing family things with us and sharing your hearty laugh with us and playing with your Jack Russell's..You are missed and we know that you had to leave, but we will never forget you.. Your bouncy ways and gift for never meeting a stranger.. Your ability to grow roses and plant any thing and that would grow makes me always remember you in the out of doors.. I see butterflies and think of your freedom in heaven..When I smell the flowers in our yard, I sense the sweetness of heaven that you are enjoying..

Remember us as you rest in the heavenlies with Jesus and until we meet again, you remain forever near in thought and memory.. We so wish your life could have been so different down here, but we know that being with you forever one day is a reward yet to be enjoyed..

Marjorie, forever young and forever missed
We send you lots of love on a rainbows crystal midst
Sending white doves to let you know you are kissed ...

Sending pink roses to heaven's domain
Where they will blossom forever and stay the same
For in perfect heaven nothing ever dies
It's where the rainbows never end
and the gentle, quiet slumber lies
Peace beyond measure
With incredible treasures
As you sit on the quiet shore at leisure

Thinking of total peace so sublime
One day we won't care about time
For forever is never ever going to end
And with this thought we do send
Forever love sent on a dove
To you somewhere above
Caught on a moonbeam
And with Megatudes of love
We send you our hearts
Even though we are at the moment apart
We will count the thoughts of you
Trying not to be blew
Loving you ever so true ...

From your family
We remember our beloved Marjorie Mae Bowen

And dedicated to Our Marjorie, here is a poem to keep you warm in my heart and the rest of the family..

*Marjorie and the Garden of Her Life*

Marjorie, loving you is so easy
You are a joy and do please me.
I miss your funny and laughable ways
The memories of all those young, fun filled days...

You would find the most fun in things most would ignore
Bringing enjoyment all around, you were never a bore
You had such a precious time with your little brother you adored
You cared for him with much enthusiasm and he was never a chore...

Your excitement of watching a rose in full bloom
Would brighten the day and take away the gloom
By just being your fun loving self you brought us all wealth...

In all of the small things in life you'd help us to see
That they were worth more then diamonds and gold jewelry
So you being here brought many good cheer
To those you met along the life's road far and near...

Your love for the small creatures given on God's green earth
Made you so happy enjoying your Jack Russell dogs gave you worth
Tending the luscious gardens with your thumb green
Making you a gardener's friend and garden queen...

We know you are joyfully dancing in the flowers of heaven
And prancing around wearing a golden crown
Not a frown for you are in perfect heaven
Grateful and free, as happy as you will ever be...

Your sister misses you and remembers when young
The days when you played together all day in the sun
Having those memories when your life was carefree and fun
But we know that the life you now live the victory's been won...

We love and miss you so much and wish you peace and tranquility in heaven above
Sending you our best wishes on the wings of the Peace Dove
Remembering our hearts send you much love
Waiting to see you again far over the moon; right now would not be too soon...

by your mom, Norma Jean who misses you so much
I love you more than words can say....

Time Stood Still

As the Lord called you home just 8 years ago the 19th of August,
My heart sank to the bottom of despair
And knowing you were with Jesus was a must.
Your beauty on earth was rare and no one could compare.

Time stood still and my heart gave a scream
Thinking this could only be a nightmare or dream.
Your struggles here were so difficult and defeating
That I knew your trials had come to a completing.

When I was told you were gone by drowning
I could only think someone is dreadfully clowning.
You'd been gone already 24 hours not knowing,
I could see the hummingbirds dancing in the winds that were blowing.

That was the only peace I could find
Is that you were telling me you were fine..
As time stood still the pain was so severe that I thought my heart
Would burst right open as time stood still and my life fell apart..

Our last words were "Love you magitudes" and our last hug was so long
I never knew that those memories would be preciously strong..
Who truly knew that the last Christmas we had would make me so sad,
For you were gone 8 months later after the last long hug we had..

As time stood still, it still moves slow now
It makes life here more for greater purpose and how.
I feel the pace of life is so humbling
That in order to keep me from stumbling
I must keep time moving with much grace
For soon we will also see Jesus face to face..

As time stood still, my precious child
Full of God's grace and His gentle smile.
Your dearer than ever I sing songs that are mild,
Remembering your youth, I long for you awhile
Longer as I remember your sweet innocence as a very young child..

So dance with the Master and stand at His feet,
And remember to give all the other heavenly angels so sweet,
The encouragement as parents who are struggling here on earth,
Until we meet our angels again and have the heavenly birth
And the hope of heaven and you for us to greet.

Time will stand still until that glorious day
So send us many messages until that day
That comfort our hearts so we can come play
In the heavenly gardens with our Lord, the only Way...

In loving memory of Marjorie Mae Bowen

Inspired by the Holy Spirit

This time of year is so hard on all of us with winter still being pretty brutal, until you look out and see the beauty of the trees decorated with white snow frosting and the crystal snowflakes shining and sparkling in the sun.. This is what grief is like with the brutal pain of grief's waves and storm crashing down on us and than the reprieve of rest after the storm.. May this represent the progress we go through to the next level of releasing our pain to see that there is some joy left here to see and feel..

Winter's Struggle for Spring

As the winds blow and the snowflakes fall
I remember my child as her name I call
She remains forever in the fresh crisp air
With golden hair and eyes and smile so fair
She is a treasure no one can compare
My child for me is far beyond rare!

In the brutalness of life's winter storms
My heart forever will mourn
The never ending storms
Of grief that was born
From this winter's journey the heart is torn
With pain and agony of not being
with my child I will remain forlorn

But for the fresh air of relief of spring
My heart will be able to sing
And take new wing as I cling
To the reassurance of HOPE
To make me a fresh new cloak
Of joy seeing the new birth
Of what God has for us on earth
Until heaven comes to meet with us
With them again in paradise and their worth
Things that were asleep in the earth
Will wake up and bring great joy and mirth

Our memories will bring us new found joy
And bring us hope for the new spring ahead
For all the parents who struggle with winter's harshness!!
God bless and give you His peace!!
Hugs, Norma Jean mom to Marjorie Mae Bowen

To You My Darling Daughter, Marjorie

Since that tragic day you'll have been gone eight years,
My heart is sadly missing you and my eyes still have many tears.
I yearn for you and wish you were here,
My heart aches for your presence to be near.

Remembering your gift for the great out of doors,
Touching each rose with such love that pours
Out from your inner self,
Because your talent in God's nature begets great wealth.

Hummingbirds, butterflies all dance with you there
Your love for them cannot compare
To the beauty of you being among them so fair
You stand out like a precious jewel so rare.

So in remembering your uniqueness and your zest for life
I can see you are out of all earthly stress and strife.
I am wondering how wonderful it must be in heaven's vastness,
The angelic music and the smells of delight
Keep us from feeling hopeless and helpless
Knowing we will see the great Light
Of glory come calling us home
To be with you in heaven some sweet holy night.

MARJORIE, My love will never die for you
My memory will be ever sweet
To meet you in heaven and walk on transparent, golden streets.
Keep safe and warm in Jesus' bosom, my dear precious grown child
Remember my heart is entwined with yours and with your smile.

I love you, adore you and miss you every new day,
Just listen to my mother's cry and hear me say,
"MARJORIE, my heart is with you when I pray"
Eternal peace, dear first child, my beloved daughter.

Your mom forever

This is a beautiful and loving gift for Angel Marjorie from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.

Our Christmas Angels

*Marjorie*Mae*

I miss you my dear, precious first child,
Marjorie is your sweet name.
From heaven you were received from
A beautiful gift from God you came.
The Lord took you back again
And from my heart so full of pain
I am your mom and yet not the same.
Remembering your zest for life,
Your young years full of fun and games.
I miss your smile and laughter
And the adventures you had over the hills and plains.
You could not rest in your zest to explore,
Never knowing where you went
Brought discomfort in my heart and more.
I know now you rest in the land way out beyond,
And it comforts me that you are with the Savior.
Makes my heart yearn to be near you even more
And it makes my heart grow fonder,
Of the land way out yonder.
Heaven is where you stand
With the Lord's hand in your hand.
I love you, my daughter and first child
And I will always miss your presence here.
Sending love, peace and blessings, Your MOM
Written August 2004 by Norma Jean *Marjorie's mom forever

Her full name is Marjorie Mae Bowen born April 13, 1966 and passed through waters to get to Jesus on Aug. 19, 2001. She loved the out of doors and its freedoms. She had a green thumb especially with roses. She could root them and make them grow.. Her love for birds and nature and especially her small dogs, Jack Russell's. They were her children. She also loved hummingbirds. She would send me them all the time and I would send her some back. I think the theme would be her freedom to see this world through nature. She would not let any animal go without trying to help it along the way. She was an avid swimmer and the water was her most favorite place to be whether in the ocean not far away, creek, river or water slide.. Isn't it amazing that what she loved most was the vehicle to take her to heaven...

Marjorie at 35 a short while before she passed away.

Jesus Loves Me

Jesus loves me this I know,
Because He went to the Cross,
I did not have to go.
Jesus loves me by the way
He laid down His life for me
So I could gain real life and be set free.

Jesus is the sweetest name for my ears to hear.
Jesus has always shown He cares
And wiped away each new tear
As I let go one by one all of my fears.
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Because His Word says He will never leave us.

The holy Father sent Jesus His Son
To give me a victory over the battle to be won.
Each new day as I let Him take control,
He says He'd bring me new life
And make me completely whole.
Jesus loves me this I know
This little song I'll sing wherever I go.

As Jesus gathers me up in His arms today,
He leads me and says love words as He hears me pray.
Jesus loves me this I know,
Jesus says He will never let me go.
Eternal life, His purpose to give
Himself for me that I might live.

Jesus, You are my true Love,
My Husband, my Friend.
I am looking forward to being with You
Til life on this earth ends.. ~*~
written by Norma Jean Kimbel
on Marjorie's 35th birthday, April 13th ~*~ 2001

I wrote this Jesus Loves Me poem just before her 35th birthday to a lady who had lost a leg and was very sick and I thought of my daughter and her troubles...

Marjorie in Manhattan, NYC.

If tears could build a staircase
And a heart could make a lane,
We'd walk the path to Heaven
And bring Marjorie home again.

This photo of Margie with her sister Karen and her brother Eric was taken
at my mother's passing.. in July of 1999.

The song on playing on this page, There Is None Like You, is a very special one to Marjorie and her family. The words to this song are :

There is none like You,
no one else can touch my heart like You do,
I could search for all eternity long,
but there is none like You.
Mercies flow like a river wide,
healing comes from Your hands,
suffering children are safe in Your arms,
there is none like You.

This was a song that just touched Marjorie's heart too the depth of her being.

HOLIDAYS, EVER SO HARD

As the pain in our hearts never ceases, our love for them only increases..
The holidays bring memories and delight,
But with our sad hearts we feel emptiness instead of light.
Our hearts are sensitive to the worlds rush
The gentle breezes try to speak with a hush
We need to be quiet and just listen to the earths peaceful sounds
See angels dancing and the joy of clowns.
But our heart hurts too much to see the great celebration
All around is one magic jubilation..

We've come to a place in our lives that only we know
That others are hurting and the holidays come and go..
We must reach out to those who need care
For our purpose now is to be able to share
Our hope in new purpose to touch each new life
With hope and excitement of the coming eternal life.
To remember we are not alone in our sadness
We each carry within us some word that brings gladness.
To take us away from the hurry and madness..

So reach out and touch someone who is lonely and blue
Bring comfort and hope out of your own grief and gloom.
For it is in sharing those hurts that life seem less bare
Telling some one you love them and will always care
Bringing them more hope and just being there..
To cry on their shoulder and stroking their hair..

Some how in this challenge of these holidays
We can see God's hand of mercy coming our way.
So wrap up your gift of love to give someone today
And bring hope in your own heart, a blessing to stay.
Our children are sending us angel kisses from heavens domain
Telling us we soon will walk up to them on heavens lanes..
by Norma Jean mom to Marjorie Mae

I am remembering my Marjorie who is so fulfilled in heaven
and is so free to be her true self..
She dances in the sweet smelling breezes of heaven..
She sings with the angels and swims in the River of Life without a care or sorrow!!
For this I am forever grateful!!

Loving you more today, Marjorie Mae
Caring for you with a mother's heart
Of love that will never depart..
I love you, MAGITUDES!!!
Norma Jean mom to Marjorie Mae

Norma,
You're in my heart today on Marjorie's heaven day
To Remember and honor her on this day
is to keep your precious daughter forever alive
God has not forgotten us. He has carved us in the palm of His Hand.
Love

To Norma Jean and ANGEL Marjorie

CORE

Softness of the skin
Sweetness in the smell
Nectar of the fruit
Tender in the heart
Dancing in the eyes
Uplifting in the smile
Tickle of the touch
Joining in the love

Truth in the speech
Love in the laughter
Primal in the scream
Soft in the whisper
Quick in the mind
Fair in the sentence
Brave in the confrontation
Joining in the love

Graceful in the sleep
Careful in the search
Deep in the sorrow
Strength in the sickness
Giving of thy self
Rich in the health
Kind in the giving
Joining in the love
