Mommy's
Letter to Emma
This letter was written by Emma's
mom Jennifer and read at her funeral.
Emma,
The day you were born I was so
thrilled for you were such a blessing. You are one of the three most
beautiful girls that I have ever seen in my life. When I saw your fuzzy
hair, immediately it reminded me of a sweet peach, from that moment on you
were known as peaches. Now I know how appropriate that name was because you
were delicate and sweet just like a peach.
When we found out that you were
sick and that you were never going to get better I thought my world was
going to end for I thought how can I be losing my beautiful baby, I shouted
"Why" God why my child, this isn’t fair. As time moved on and
you became sicker I began to realize that God could never really take you
from me because I know that you will forever be in my heart and in my mind
and no one can take that away.
I only wish that everyone would
have taken the time to know you the way that Daddy, Marissa, Ashley and I
did, for you had the most beautiful smile and the most beautiful blue eyes,
they would tell you a story just by looking into them and your smile could
light up a room better than anything I have ever seen.
I know that you are in a better
place where you are no longer suffering and I know someday that I will be
able to see and hold you again but until then please always know that Mommy,
Daddy, Marissa and Ashley will always, always remember you and cherish the
short time that we had with you, I will think of you always and I await the
day that I can kiss you soft cheeks again. You will always be my blessing
from God and you will always be Mommy’s Peach.
Love You Forever,
Mommy
