Tamara, That was beautiful! I lost a little boy in July 2000 when I was 17 weeks pregnant. I started my genealogy research as a way of getting my mind off of my grief. I soon learned that I had several great(X?)grandmothers who had lost babies. For some reason, it made me realize that I was not alone. I am putting a copy of this poem in my son's chest, where I keep everything from his "birth". Thanks, Joanne Smith Charlottesville, VA -----Original Message----- From: Tamara Mitchell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2003 1:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MAUPIN-L] Death of my grandchild Please know you are in my prayers during this very hard time. Tamara Mitchell For Sabian Lee: Clouds of love God's special wings That soar with special grace Each wing of gentle beauty The gift of God's pure lace Each Child that enters Heaven For all that they have suffered They feel a special glow Their life now a sweet rainbow Gathered in the softness Of God's most Precious Love Children gathered in His Arms He welcomes them above Carried to a higher place Where Gardens always bloom Scents of flowers fill the air Such special velvet looms On this earth their hearts belong While in the sky they fly Bringing glow within us now Their laughter heard from high Look upon a silken cloud Sparkling wings abound Gathered in The royal place With diamond halos crowned. ~Francine Pucillo~ -------Original Message------- From: [email protected] Date: Friday, May 23, 2003 10:45:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MAUPIN-L] Death of my grandchild It is with very great sadness that I am reporting the death of my 5 year old beautiful, happy, grandson My daughter Patricia's son Sabian Lee Espinoza born 7-3-97 drowned May 17 2003 while on a swimming trip to Garner State Park in Leakey, Texas.
