Memories of Tabitha Ann Hartfield

A PLACE IN HEAVEN

Alison (Jun 30, 2008)

Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know...
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.

She's Finally Free

Alison (Jun 30, 2008)

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard his call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found the peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys-
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee-

My Memory

Alison (Jun 30, 2008)

Surrounded by friends
yet all alone
the one I loved
God has called home

the hugs of friends
helps ease the pain
and I know my loss
is my loved one's gain

but tears now flow
across my face
as I long for just
one more embrace

then comfort comes
and I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
and I feel God's grace.

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
… I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
… - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.”

- E. B. Browning –


“Do not Stand at My Grave and Weep”

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

-Mary Elizabeth Frye-


For just a moment
I’m sure I saw a flicker of light ahead.
Perhaps it was your smile.
Though past now, remembered,
in my heart like the small sound of a butterfly passing by.
No night is so dark that can not be brightened with memories of you.
Raindrops carry along your blessings from heaven to wash away my tears and bring me hope anew.

My Darling Daughter

rememberingtabitha (Jun 25, 2008)

Tabitha, I miss you dear heart. You were always such a pleasing child, a joy, always wearing a smile and lighting up the room with your sunshine, no matter what you were experiencing in your own life. I want to thank you for all the times you brightened up my day. I love you so much that sometimes I think my heart is going to break into a million peices. I can't stand the thought of Drue and Madi having to live their lives without you there, to hug and kiss them and brighten up their lives, the way you did mine. I don't know what all you went through on that last day, and I'm not sure who took your life, but I remember what all you went through leading up to that finale day and the fear I saw in your eyes. How you were able to continue smiling is beyond my realm of imagination. My only consolation in our loss of you is knowing that he won't ever harm you again. May God give me the strength to get through this, and to help me smile (just like you) so that I can try to brighten up Madi and Drue's lives.

I love you Tabby, forever and always.

I miss you so much.

Mom

Lovely Person

Alison (Jun 21, 2008)

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home

Remembering Tabitha

Alison (Jun 20, 2008)

Tabitha, we miss you. I wish you could have met Chrisitian. He will never be able to know what a special person you were. You could always make anyone laugh. You would always know what to say to brighten someone's day. Even in the worse situation you would find something to say or do to make everyone laugh or smile.

It is selfish to say that we wish you were here. Instead ,we should be saying that we wish we were in Heaven with you. A place where there is no more tears and no more pain. A place where there is only joy and happiness.

We will see you on the other side.

We love and miss you,
John, Alison, and Chrisitian

Angels Prayer

Alice Seay (Jun 17, 2008)

Beloved Almighty, I am present. I ask you to keep me always to acknowledge God first in everything I do and when I accomplish something successfully see that I give the recognition to God, then angels host, who at the inner level are always assisting me in every constructive activity of my life and accept life as constructive perfection.

You are the one true source of all that is good, dear God.

Take time to nourish yourself with your thoughts.

We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth; there is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass before us like shadows will stay in our presence forever.

Life is not a matter of milestones,

Alice Seay (Jun 17, 2008)

but of moments.

Your aspirations are your possibilities. Live not One's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.

Good Morning Lord, the night has passed, just as you said it would, and once again I gaze upon your world and find it good. Darkness fades as darkness will and so my heart is light, for you await to share my day, who watched me through the night.
I do not know what lies ahead, but I am sure you know, so take my hand and walk with me wherever I may go. No joy or pain is ever sent save their own accord, so in the fullness of Thy love, I say, good morning, Lord.
