Uncle Steve and Aunt Patty, Megumi and I send our condolences on your loss. Our hearts are with you.

Anna, it was only a few short weeks ago I had caught up to you and were able to talk you after so much time. I had found out that you had just finished High School, you were so excited. When i heard the tragical news i was shocked and devastated that you were no longer here, and I had lost a cousin. I was so eager to talk to you more. The last time i saw you was so long ago, Megumi and I took you to the sushi place in the French Quarter and to the aquarium. I just always thought we would see you again, as we will, just in Heaven. I will miss you.

~~~OPEN ARMS~~~
I welcomed you with open arms when you came into my house, I didnt have to question why you were here; i knew you needed a home like me.
we were lucky that our adoptive
moms welcomed us with open arms.
my memories with you are clearer than ever, i never thought that GOD would open his arms to you at this time.
The pain of you leaving-is killing me inside, because my life will never be the same- I have prayed for answers to why you had to leave...so soon? and well, i got nothing.
I dont know why GOD took you from us and this world; i dont know if you know this, but NOBODY WANTED YOU TO LEAVE....NOBODY!
You never said "Goodbye" you always spoke possitive, so now what do I do. I only bonded with YOU and Wade.
As hard as this is to say, make sure theres room up there for me. I dont know when Im coming, but one day we will be able to talk again.
I will grow and move on one day from this heartache, but as from now on you will travel in my heart in stead of my head.
I dont want to stop believing that this is real, but GOD has told that he welcomed you with open arms.
Anna, i love you, i miss you, but this isnt goodbye, nor you letting go; this is you being welcomed in to a new home with OPEN ARMS.
Love Always and Forever,
TEETIE

~OUR SPECIAL DAYS~
Sometimes we cant understand the reason why? but eventually we find there is a reason for all things- with faith and with hope. God will teach us how to cope.
Anna you were one of our Special Little Gifts from God, no matter if you are no longer here;we still see beyound the clouds, like we always did when you lived with us. God allowed you Anna to be with us for fifteen wonderful and PRECIOUS months. God cradled us in his care and to be friends forever. We listen to God- because we know he is always there for all of us.
Anna you will be missed; so much by us- you will always be safe- now you are in Gods' arms forever.
Love Aways,

I HAD TO GO AWAY

I had to go away.
I'm sorry you couldn't come with me.
But on earth is where you shall stay.
Please do not be sad.
Instead laugh and be glad.
I'm in a beautiful place, such a beautiful place.
I know you wont see me for a while.
But you will hear from me.
I will be the wind that will chill you on a hot summer day.
I will be the sun that will warm you when it's cold.
Listen to the birds sing, I will be saying, "I love you" in their song.
I know you can't touch me.
But you will feel me.
Because I will be inside of you giving you life on the days you feel like you can't go on anymore.
Please I beg of you, go on, live your life as I lived mine.
Always remember we will be together again.
I will be patiently waiting for you on that day.
When you will join me in this beautiful place.
Until then may God bless you with his almighty grace.
