Flowers Of Hope
As We hold a vase of flowers,
we think of your sweet face
and count the many hours.
You last stood here before us.
Each and every petal
holds the hope to bring you home.
the water keeps them fresh
As do we with every thought of you.
As we hold onto these flowers
Theres one thing you must know
were praying every hour
for you to come back home.

This poem was rewritten after sadly Dru was found :
Flowers
Of Love
As we hold a vase of flowers,
We remember
your sweet face.
And remember all the times you graced us
With your smile.
Each and every petal holds
The love we
have for you.
Each and every
petal
Blooms in honor
of you.
As we hold this
vase of flowers
Theres just one thing
You must know,
Our love will
never end
Your our daughter
sister
Friend.

I wrote these 2 poems for
Amy Bradley & her Family & Friends :
HOPE
Hope... it weathers storms, it
walks through valleys.
It never fails it never waivers.
Hope dedicates all it has
To looking for and finding you.
When you are lost it never gives up .. it
seeks you out to help
Where ever you are. Hope finds
strength in times of
Weakness. It guides you through the dark
until you find the
Light of day. Hopes renews our streghth
& reminds us what
We are truely made of Unconditional
Love that never stops.
Until we are not lost! For this is what True
Hope is .
LOVE FINDS
A WAY
Love makes a way for hope.
Love finds a way to bare.
Love always cares .
Love helps us all to cope.
Love finds a away to let us know,
We are Never Alone!

This poem was written & read by Dru's Aunt at Funeral :
" PRINCESS
DRUSIE DOODLES DOO "
|
Below is the letter to Dru that her Aunt read at the memorial service.
They were showing pictures of Dru and family throughout the years while she read this After sharing a few memories about Dru,
she went on to say:
Theres a lot of Drus in our family. Theres Grandpa
Dru, John Dru, Joseph Dru and Drusie Katrina.
Some of you called her Drusie, her Mom and Dad called her Doodles, Mom sometimes
shortened that to Doo,.and Ive already told you I called her Princess, so in the following whimsical
letter that I have written to Dru, Im calling her
Princess Drusie Doodles Doo.. so bear with me please..
Are you dancing amongst the stars, Princess Drusie Doodles Doo?
Are you singing
with the angels whove been watching over you?
Are you happy to be back home with your friends and family?
Are you
floating through the heavens filled with utter glee?
Can you
smell all the flowers Dru and see the ribbons of pink gracing every view?
Are you watching all the fuss that everyone
is making over you?
Can you see all the people whove come to show they care?
Could you ever imagined how much theyve
come to share?
Are you gently placing a kiss upon your Mommys cheek?
Just a little tickle, that you will make
her think?
Are you giggling and smiling at her, as you think of fun filled days?
And laughing as you remember all
her silly ways?
Are you laying your head Dru, on your Daddys shoulder and wiping away his tears?
Are you walking
with your hand in Svens,
As youve done so many times throughout the years?
Do you know all the love that Chris
feels for you.
Are you wrapping your arms around him Dru?
Do you imagine him beside you as you leap from star to star?
Are you holding him so near to you no matter where you are?
Are you hugging on your Grandma as you whisper in
her ear that now you must grow stronger because you know shes here?
Will you swish on your Grandpa while he sleeps in
his chair?
So that even in his dreams, he will know youre there?
Will you be watching from your stool and grinning
with delight to see what Sidneys cooking for dinner every night?
Will you give him a hug when he stops to reminisce?
And
when he becomes sad, will you cheer him with a kiss?
Are you watching over John Lauren, Bryce and Joe?
Loving
them as through the days they go?
Will you share with them your giggles and all your silliness?
That they may carry
on for you that which from you will greatly miss?
Are you blowing kisses to all your amazing friends
To all that
faithfully struggled with you till the very end?
Are you sprinkling love upon them as they face each new day?
And
laughing at their jokes and all the funny things they say?
Are you tired now Princess. and wishing to be tucked in
bed?
Are you waiting for you backrub as I softly stroke your head?
Rest now, for your job has been well done in
drawing of those who love you.
Sweet dreams my dear "Princess Drusie Doodles Doo"

A Poem For Audrey Herron
This poem was written by Corrina -Dedrick-Gardner,
lifelong friend of missing mother of three...Audrey May Herron.
To Bring You Safely Home
Looking back in time, I see your smiling face
The laughter
and the memories all seem so far away
You've gone away and left us,
Without a trace
they say...
What happened to you Audrey?
What
happened that August day?
Our hearts are forever aching
Our
tears they continue to flow
Our prayers, they are not answered
Will
we ever know?
This pain is so unbearable
The waiting is not a game...
Just
keep the faith,
I tell myself just pray that she is safe
Our minds keep us
busy with all the things we know...
Remember back, remember back...
Is there something
that will help to bring you home?
Your parents need their Daughter,
Your children need
your love,
Your family and friends need to know...
When you are
coming home to us
The search will keep on going,
The answers will unfold...
May
God be with you Audrey...
To bring you safely home

Thank you,
This is a poem submitted by a friend for Audrey Herron :
"Not Just Missing"
Not just missing
I was a friend
Look closer at the flyer they have penned
Not just a name upon a page
I
was a person
not just a face
Not just missing
A loving wife
I had a home
I loved my life
Not just missing
A
mother's touch
My children miss me very much
Not just missing
Not just a name
So many lives
Forever changed
So
many eyes
Eyes to see
Use them please
Help the world
find me.........

Written In Loving Memory of Lori Leonard :
A Daughter's Like A Rose
You love you care you help her grow
You touch her tenderly
You teach her all she needs to know
Let her go reluctantly
Her beauty leaves you in breathless awe
Her kindness brings a tear
You never see a single flaw
You hope she sees no fear
Lori Ann is my rose, my daughter and my friend
Though my love for her forever grows
My sadness, will never end.
-Barbara to her loving daughter (written by Jennifer)

Poems in loving memory of :Precious Nicole T. Pietz :
Hand
in hand with the lord.
She
is safe in his presence.
Tenderly taking
care of her,
He made her and will watch
over Her...until we can see her again.
His
loving Hand is Upon us all as we are
Grieving the loss of Precious Angel
Nicole.
When
ever we feel sorrow...
We
must remember We are not alone...
His
Loving hand is Upon us.
written by: Melanie
I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free.
I’m
following the path god has laid you see.
I took his hand when
I heard him 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 my peace at the close of the 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 to brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now; He set me free!
