Sean David Connolly - Online Memorial Website

Somewhere across the winter world tonight
You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance...something we can share.

You will be singing, just the same as I,
These familiar songs we know so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.

I shall remember you and trim my tree,
One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see --
Tonight I glimpse beyond the hear and now.

And all the time that we must be apart

I keep a candle in my HEART.

Across the Miles at Christmastime From home to home, from heart to heart, from one place to another, The warmth and joy of Christmas brings us closer to each other. So though you may be miles away, and missed so very much, Warm thoughts and happy memories of you warm our hearts! Have a very Merry Christmas in Heaven!

I'll paint you a Rainbow

to hang on the wall,

to brighten your heart

when the gray shadows fall.

On a canvas of joy

outlasting the years,

with a soft brush of sweetness

to dry all your tears.

I'll paint you a Rainbow

with colors of smiles,

That glow with sincerity

over the miles.

On a palette of words

I will tenderly blend

tones into treasures

of sunlight and wind.

I'll paint you a Rainbow

that reaches so wide,

Your sights and your sorrows

will vanish inside,

and deep in the center

of each different hue,

A memory fashioned

especially for you.

So lift up your eyes,

for suspended above,

A Rainbow designed

by the fingers of Love.

                                 A Hug From God

Sometimes I think I've got it all together-
I've figured out what life is all about.
It lasts a while and then it always happens-
A curve-ball come that I can't figure out.

I struggle to find my way through all the darkness-
the more I try the harder it seems to be.
Until I reach a point of fear and desperation-
It hurts so much I fall down on my knees.

A hug from God will ease a broken heart.
A hug from God will fill your life with love.
A hug from God who is your loving father-
is always there- just look to him and pray.
Oh, God please send your loving hug my way.

The room grows quiet as tears stream down my face-
the pain inside is all taken away.
A warmth surrounds my cold and shaking body-
As God's hand wipes the tears off of my face.

A hug from God will ease a broken heart.
A hug from God will fill your life with love.
A hug from God who is your loving father-
is always there- just look to him and pray.
Oh, God please send your loving hug my way.

Angel Moms

We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
We have given encouragement to each other,
Given hope for a brighter tomorrow,
We share the title of grieving mother.

Some of us lost older daughters or sons,
Who we watched grow over the years,
Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
But no matter the age , we cry the same tears.

We understand each others pain,
The bond we share is very strong,
With each other there is no need to explain,
The path we walk is hard and long.

Our children brought us together,
They didn't want us on this journey alone,
They knew we needed each other,
To survive the pain of them being gone.

So take my hand my friend,
We may stumble and fall along the way,
But we'll get up and try again,
Because together we can make it day by day.

We can give each other hope,
We'll create a place where we belong,
Together we will find ways to cope,
Because we are Angel Moms and together we are strong!
