  
Carlene Anne Porter 27th April 1987 - 13th June 1998          We do not need a special day To bring you to our minds The days we do not think of you Are very hard to find Each morning when we awake We know that you are gone And no one knows the heartache As we try to carry on Our hearts still ache with sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know Our thoughts are always with you Your place no one can fill In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still There will always be a heartache And often a silent tear But always a precious memory Of the days when you were here If tears could build a staircase And heartaches make a lane We'd walk the path to Heaven And bring you home again We hold you close, within our hearts And there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again Our family chain is broken now And nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again. Written by Connie Dyer            Carlene also has 3 brothers in heaven who died at birth ~ Christopher, Nicholas and Robert. I never got pictures of them though...  with 2 friends a special "Jesus Loves me" that day, I had no idea the next Sunday I would sit alone in church.                            We became good friends. Later he came to Australia to meet me and we ended up marrying...the year I was coming to Kansas with Carlene I came to Kansas to marry Howard, is that weird or what?????      She really did love life.       Performed by John Denver Perhaps love is like a resting place A shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort It's there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble When you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home Perhaps love is like a window Perhaps an open door It invites you to come closer It wants to show you more And even if you lose yourself And don't know what to do The memory of love will see you through Oh ! Love to some is like a cloud To some as strong as steel For some a way of living For some a way to feel And some say love is holding on And some say let it go And some say love is everything Perhaps love is like the ocean Full of conflicts , full of pain Like a fire when it's cold outside Thunder when it rains If I should live forever And all my dreams come true My memory of love will be of you       GEOFFREY P. EDWARDS  My ANGEL Lee wrote many poems, this one I would love to share with you and your ANGEL.  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 Written By Lee Henry Aguilera~~~Sue-Anne's ANGEL  Day by Day keep going by But you are always still here with me In my Thoughts my Heart always Where else would you be I have not left you Mom I am just away for a while Until we are together again It is then I will see your smile If you look up Mom And see a shining star That is my window to HEAVEN You see I am not very far Written By Sue-Anne Aguilera~~~Lee'sMom       Jenny I'm thinking of you as the years pass all too quickly, but for us, not quickly enough.
