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.

Sad was the parting, no one can tell,
So sudden on earth the sorrow fell;
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with the one's we love so dear.
Dearer still as years depart
Their memory lives on within our heart.

Jeremiah mummy and daddy will always love you little man xxx

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.

Have A Good Weekend Everyone


Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.

Gone is the face we loved so dear
Silent is the voice we loved to hear.
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far for love to reach,
Sweet to remember them once here,
Who, though absent, is just as dear.

In all the world we shall not find
A heart so wonderfully kind,
So soft a voice, so sweet a smile,
Inspiration worthwhile;
A sympathy so sure, so deep
A love so beautiful to keep.

"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.

Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.

Little prayers,are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.

I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.

You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.

Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.

BABYS CASTLE

Heaven's Baby Castle
In a baby's castle just beyond my eye
My baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy

Who am I to call him back into this world of strife?
No, play on my baby, you have eternal life

At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes
I'll hear his tiny footsteps come running at my side
His little hand caresses me so tenderly and sweet
I'll breathe and sigh and close my eyes and embrace him in my sleep

Now I have a treasure I rate above all other
I have known true glory - I am still his mother
