In memory of our beautiful baby boy, Jeremiah Nathaniel Carlton. He was born on August 22, 2008 at
1:21 pm, weighing 3 lbs. 8 oz. and 15 inches long.

When I was 18 weeks pregnant, I had an ultrasound done and found out we were having a boy, but he
was diagnosed with a lethal birth defect called anencephaly. We were given the option to either
terminate or continue the pregnancy. With us being Children's pastors who love kids, we chose to
continue because we already loved this baby. From that moment on, we had the peace of God and the
strength to keep going, even when we didn't feel like it some days. I know there were a lot of
prayers going up for us. Without God and the prayers, we would have been a mess.

One thing I'll always remember about Jeremiah was that when my husband put his ear up to my belly
one time, he kicked him. I felt it, and Randy did too and we both thought it was so funny. :)

He was such a special baby who touched many lives in his short life, and didn't even have to say a
word. He didn't even cry, because he was born sleeping. But I loved him just as much as if he were
alive, because he was still my baby and I am still his mother.

Jeremiah has a little brother or sister named Hope in Heaven. I had a miscarriage on June 9, 2007
when I was about 4 weeks pregnant. So they will not be alone because they have each other, and we
will get to see and hold them both in Heaven one day.

Mommy loves you and misses you both so much. I'll always carry you in my heart.

This Tribute Is For This Weekend A Little Longer Than Usual. Sorry It's So Early I've Got A Busy Weekend Ahead
________________________________________________

I will light my candles as usual on Sunday



Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.


When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.


But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.


A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love could have 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 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.

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE


THIS TRIBUTE IS FOR FRIDAY (BUSY DAY FOR ME)


Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.

You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with the angels this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away, We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, You know I hold you dear.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above,
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with heavens angels this year
As the Lord had finished creating the earth, something was missing
so he chose pieces from all the flowers, threw them into the sky
and blew life into them and the butterflies were born.

Clair Brennan November 25, 2008

Friendship is a priceless gift
That can't be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
Than a mountain made of gold.

For gold is cold and lifeless,
It cannot see nor hear,
And in your times of trouble,
It is powerless to cheer.

It has no ears to listen,
No heart to understand.
It cannot bring you comfort
Or reach out a helping hand.

So when you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful that he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls, or riches,
But the love of a real, true friend.

Thanks for everything you do
Love Always margo xxx

Have A Good Weekend Everyone

This Tribute Is For Friday Busy Tomorrow


You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”


“The Best”

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
