We love you Laura and Ayla so much. THINK OF LAURA Writer: CHRISTOPHER CROSS Every once in a while I'd see her smile And she'd turn my day around A girl with those eyes Could stare through the lies And see what your heart was saying Think of Laura but laugh don't cry I know she'd want it that way When you think of Laura laugh don't cry I know she'd want it that way A friend of a friend A friend till the end That's the kind of girl she was Taken away so young Taken away without a warning I know you and you're here In everyday we live I know her and she's here I can feel her when I sing Hey Laura, where are you now Are you far away from here I don't think so I think you're here Taking our tears away.

Dearest Laura

Although 6 days earlier Laura's Mom, Dad and dog Ayla were in a car accident; And with her Dad just being released from the Hospital; we were there at Ocean View Cemetary to wish Laura a Beautiful Heavenly 21st Birthday. It was a lovely evening as in the past five birthdays as we all lit candles, Recited poetry and Laura's Uncle sang the Lords' Prayer. We all thanked God that Laura's parents and her Dog Miraculously were not more badly hurt. Thank you everyone who wished Laura a Happy Birthday and to wish Laura's parents a speedy recovery from the auto accident. When you feel a gentle breeze Caress you when you sigh, It's a hug sent from Heaven From your Angel so near and not so very high. If a soft and tender raindrop Lands upon your nose, It's just your angel's kiss As fragile as a rose. Laura is our Angel.


July 12, 2007

Again we were blessed as in all the other Angel Anniversaries and Birthdays since 2002 with a lovely day on July 12th. Several family members and friends were there to light candles, recite poems, sign and then release balloons. Laura's Uncle Bill sang, "The King Of Love My Shepherd Is". Beautiful flowers were left for Laura, who will always be in our hearts for ever. ~Love you - Mom, Dad, Christine and Ayla This poem was sent by Linda. ~ ANGEL DAY~ Your Angel Day has come It seems only yesterday When God called you home. Many tears have fallen The heartache never leaves Then there is grief on top of these. You are missed in more ways than we can count, You are loved by one and all, Many memories will be recalled. Your Angel Day is here, We'll keep on loving and missing you, Tomorrow starts another year. ~ by Doyle Alldredge (2005)~ Thank you Linda,Beth and Karen and to all other people who sent gifts for Laura.

Happy Blessed Easter Dearest Laura In Church today we thought of you so much Memory flashes of you and Christine Searching for Easter Eggs with so much happiness on this day. We know you are still smiling as you are for sure with us in Church giving us loving hugs. Excerpts from a beautiful poem. Author unknown.. ~ Dearest Mom and Dad ~ When you wonder the meaning of life and love Know that I am with you. Close your eyes and feel me kissing you In the gentle breeze across your cheek. When you begin to doubt that you shall ever see me again Quiet your mind and hear me. I am in the whisper of the heavens Speaking of your love. When you lose your identity When you question who you are and where you are going Open your heart and see me I am the twinkle in the stars smiling down upon you Lighting the path for your journey..

Laura, we love you And physically miss you As it dawns another year. In our lonely hours of thinking Thoughts of you are ever near. We think of you in silence. No eyes can see us weep. But still within our aching hearts Your memory we keep. Wonderful memories woven in gold These are the memories we tenderly hold. Deep in our hearts your memory is kept To love, to cherish and never forget. Love you always every minute of every day... It has been 4 years But it seems like yesterday We were with you in the Hospital. Mom, Dad, Christine and Ayla

We Love you so much Laura, The moment that you passed Our hearts split into two The one side filled with memories The other side left with.

Happy Easter Laura.

Our Easter is not complete without beautiful memories of past Easters' and the fun times we all had together. We know you are always with us. Thank you again for all those Heavenly Happy Treats Laura. We love you sooo much! This poem of yours is so beautiful: Sing with the birds Sing with the birds Sing, and see how nice it is outside And with that the sunlight will enter your heart Sing with the birds Sing, sing, and you will soon see That all will come and all will continue When you think the joy in your life is gone then just remember that joy really exists The best things in life will vanish but soon they will return It�s up to you to sing and to smile You will never be alone on this earth It�s up to you to run to the light without lingering When winter is in your heart The spring will awake The flowers which never were so beautiful Will rush true the snow Be convinced that one day you will smile at your sorrow which seemed endless One day life will show you that I have a good reason to tell you this Just sing ? Sing ? Sing with the birds !

January 20, 2005

We Love you Laura, The moment that you passed Our hearts split into two The one side filled with memories The other side left with you We often lay awake at night When the world is fast asleep And we take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks Remembering you is easy We do it every day But missing you is a heartache That never goes away We hold you tightly within our hearts And there you will remain Life has gone on without you But it will never be the same We love forever and always. Mom, Dad and Christine

Our deeepest sympathies go out to the family and close friends of Heather Dreger, a Music Teacher of Laura, who died after a heroic 5 year battle with Leukemia. Heather and Ashley, her husband, gave us a lot of comfort after Laura's passing. Heather will be missed greatly.

July 12, 2004

Laura,The tragic events of two years ago are so fresh in our memories. We love you very much and cherish those 15 1/2 years with fond remembrance of you that is burnt forever in our hearts. This poem is you, our Laura: We lost you just two years ago, A sorrow that still sings Of all the tears and emptiness The loss of loved ones brings. Our sadness comes from missing you, And missing you from love, And love from all the love in you That we became part of. Your love is still alive in us, We feel it ever new; Our mourning's filled with happiness By memories of you.


April 11, 2004

Laura, Memories are so profound at this time of year. All those Easter Egg Hunts and the Happy Faces on Christine's and your faces as you find those hidden eggs. God Bless You and have a wonderful Heavenly Easter Laura.

Laura's candlelight ceremony went well for her 17th Angel Birthday. It was very mild for this time of year and quite calm. Just a lovely night. About 15 of Laura's family and friends were there. 17 colourful candles were lit around Laura's marker. Bob (Laura's Dad) recited some lovely poetry, Rose (Laura's Mom) said a few prayers, Christine sang two touching songs and we all wrote a Birthday Message to sweet Laura on 10 Silver Helium Balloons. We then all sang Happy Birthday as we released the balloons. These balloons stayed together forming a circle as they disappeared from our view. As we left the cemetery in the darkness all the candles still burned and beautifully lit up the area where Laura rests. For sure Laura was with us. Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers plus lighting a candle for Laura.


December 3rd, 2003

"Silent Night, Holy Night" was song by everyone in the Church at Ocean View Burial Park where Laura is laid to rest. Candles were lit at the time and not a dry eye was seen. the Ministers at this special Christmas Service consoled us all with beautiful words and lovely poems and stories to help us through this Holiday season. A night we will never forget.

Laura's First Angel Anniversary. Please see the new Angel Anniversary Page to see photos and a beautiful verse.


May 24th

The Tribute Memorial at the Chan Centre went very well on the 24th of May. It was called, "Remembering Our Children". All the childrens' names, including Laura, were read out and photos displayed of the children on a large screen. There wasn't a dry eye in the building. The Ceremony honoured all the children who passed away since last May, 2002 from the Childrens' Hospital and the Canuck Place Hospice. Volunteers at these places sang a few beautiful pieces like Josh Groban's "Somewhere Out There". We all participated in the reading of this lovely and powerful poem: "WE REMEMBER THEM" In the rising of the sun and its going down, We Remember Them In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, We Remember Them In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, We Remember Them In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, We Remember Them In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, We Remember Them In the beginning of the year and when it ends, We Remember Them When we are weary and in need of strength, We Remember Them When we are lost and sick at heart, We Remember Them When we have joys we yearn to share, We Remember Them So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us as, we remember them. May the source of peace send peace to all who mourn, and comfort to all who are bereaved.

Dec. 10th

At a candle light service at Ocean View Burial Park where Laura is laid to rest the Minister told all of us of a true story that made him a believer that Life does indeed continue on the other side and we believe it too from the many signs Laura has left us. The family wants to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. This is a poem that was in the program at the service. The words are powerful and comforting:

IN MEMORIAM

Grieve not for me Nor mourn the while, For happier would I be to see you smile. Let no tears fall Since I have passed, But miss me and Remember me each day. Live your lives As I would want you to, and treat thy fellow man As I would do. And when the time has come, Your lives be through, I shall be waiting here For each of you.
