I'll lend you for a little time, A child of mine he said For you to love while she lives And mourn for when she is dead It may be six or seven years Or twenty-two or three. But will you, till I call her back Take care of her for me? She'll bring charms to gladden you, And should her stay be brief, You'll have her lovely memories, As solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay Since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn I've looked this wide world over In my search for teachers true And from the throngs that crowd life lanes I have selected you Now will you give her all your love Not think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to call, And take her back again I fancied that I heard them say. Dear Lord thy will be done The risk of grief will run, We'll shelter her with tenderness, We'll love her while we may And for the happiness we've known Forever grateful stay But should the angels call for her Much sooner than we planned We'll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.
hugs and prayers / Krista Salvati
Phyllis, Calli is so beautiful. What a brave little trooper. Sending you and your family many hugs and prayers. Krista, mom to heart angel Zackary Close

My heart goes out to you! / Jody Johnson (Mommy to Mason Bailey Johnson )
My heart goes out to all of your family. I truely understand everything that you have been through. You are so right about our angels life stories being SO similar. I actually cried while reading Calli's timeline because it sounded like what all my lil' Mason had been through....I used to love rollercoaster rides but after the "rollercoaster"(ups & downs) that I had been on with Mason's life in the hospital....I'm not so sure I'll ever like the ride anymore. I am so sorry for your loss of Calli....she is so beautiful! Maybe Calli & Mason (since so similar while on earth) will be best buddies in Heaven with their golden hearts until we can get up there with them. I hope to get to know you better. Take Care, Jody,mom to: mason-bailey-johnson.memory-of.com Close

It just brought back all of the memories and even looking at your window just made me want to cry hysterically but I knew I couldnt, not with the girls in the car with us. Anyway, Cade and I went to your site Monday and brought you some balloons for Valentines day, I hope you loved them! Well once again we love and miss you soooo much please stay close my lil angel!Close

Well sweetheart today is 5 months that you left us to be with God in heaven. Some days it just seems like yesterday and some days it feels like it happened so long ago. We miss you so much, we visit you often. Your brother made the honor roll so I know you would be very proud of him. Keep an eye on all of us and keep us close! Love and Miss You more than anyone can imagine.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby girl. She was quite a fighter. I wish you comfort and peace although I know from experience it can be hard to come by. Thank you for visiting my daughter, Andrea Jewel (A.J.)'s site. http://andrea-aj-reynolds.memory-of.com/. Your words are very comforting. I hope Calli and A.J. found each other to play together.

THANK YOU FRIEND / SELMA FLYNN BOBBO.MEMORY-OF.COM (friend)
It's the time of year when we're reminded to give thanks.
Instead of waiting until next year to be reminded,
Let's make every day one of thanksgiving;
After all, each day is a unique gift.
So, give a hug for no reason;
Say I love you, just because;
Share a smile with a stranger;
Take the time to count your blessings;
Don't take anything or anyone for granted;
And end each day with no regrets.
Thank you, my friends and family,
For sharing, caring, laughing and crying with me.
I'm truly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life
And I am thankful you have allowed me
To be a part of yours.
May you and yours have a safe and memorable Thanksgiving. Close
A GUARDIAN ANGEL / SELMA FLYNN BOBBO.MEMORY-OF.COM (friend)
A GUARDIAN ANGEL
A guardian angel
Flew down from above,
To teach me a lesson
About the powers of love.
She whispers to me,
Take a hold of my hand,
There are so many things
I wish you to understand.
About the powers of love,
And all it can do,
To someone who needs
To share it with you.
A pat on the back,
A kind smile on your face,
Can make someone's life,
A much brighter place.
It doesn't take much,
To show someone you care,
To give them the love,
God gave you to share.
So please keep in mind,
All the powers you possess,
To grace someone's life,
When they're in distress.
You've been put on this earth
To bestow the powers of love,
And with those final words,
She disappeared up above. Close
Celebrating Calli today. / Kathy Cummings (friend)
I am celebrating Calli Renee today. I am celebrating her life and the memories she gave to her family. No, I did not know her personally, but feel a closeness to her. I think Arianna and Calli have been playing games with me, turning on my bedroom lights in the day and casting their baby shadows like two babies running and playing, Yes I do believe it is you, Calli and Arianna! I celebrate you for I found a friend in your Mommy, she is a good woman a woman with a broken heart. You, Calli had a broken heart that couldn't mend, but we thank you for trying so hard to stay with Mommy and Daddy. I am celebrating you for now your heart beats perfectly in your perfect little body, made whole by God. Mommy's heart may never mend, but with the love she has for you, your heart beats in hers, and the love the two of you shared will be there forever. I celebrate you Calli, because you were here, you are a precious baby, only here for a short while, because you are real and real I mean to allot of people, people you never have met. I thank you for the time you and Mommy spent together. Have fun celebrating your new life. Love you sweety.
