Sending Holiday Blessings To You & Yours! / Angela-Daughter To Angel Linda Taylor
God Bless... Hoping you had a wonderful Birthday Celebration in our heavens above yesterday! Holding you & your loved ones in my prayers this holiday season!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES / ROSE GRMA TO ANGEL BRITTANY SYFERT
CHRISTMAS/2007/ Dee Corbett (Grandmother)
Nick, I still can't believe you're no longer with us. The last time I saw you and your Dad together here, at home, was at the front door as you were about to go out. You had a big smile on your face as you stood next to him, and said "By Christmas I'll be as tall as my Dad". You were so happy that day. You were almost 6 ft. tall, and might have been taller than your Dad had you lived til Christmas...I think he's 6'3".... Just a few days later, that fateful day, September 14, 2005 was your last day on earth. You were only 15, just shy of turning 16. This is now our 3rd Christmas without you. Christmas will never be the same without you. We try to go on, but it's so hard; you were our light, our joy and our futures...our heart and soul. We take solace in each other, and try to live as you'd like for us to live, to honor your life. We speak of you daily, and you're in our hearts and minds always. You were so loved by your Dad, by Cliff and by Popa Dan and myself...I just hope you REALLY knew that. I think you did....
You were loved by many others too. At your funeral, the Church was totally packed, and we were told there were over 2500 people there. So many people were effected by your death; it was just devastating for all that loved and cared for you. We had no idea that you had touched so many different people.
It just seems so unfair that you had such a short life. I know God has a plan for all of us, and I really do believe you are in Heaven now. It's just so sad for those of us left behind...we mourn and grieve for you...our love for you is so deep. When our time comes, we will come to understand why you had to leave us so soon. Losing a child is so horrible, especially in such a horrific way as you had to die. We do take comfort in believing/hoping you "just went to sleep and never knew what happened"/suffered no pain. Nick, I KNOW if you'd been awake, you'd made every effort in the world to get out of that room, as you were fearless...
Guess I'm feeling a bit blue, here at Christmas again. We used to have such fun.
But, like I said earlier, I KNOW you are in Heaven, and where in the whole Universe could there be a better place to be at Christmas...God, Jesus, Mary, Joseph! What a wonderful celebration must be taking place in Heaven!
Have a Wonderful Christmas Nick. I love you, Mama Dee
Thank you for emailing me Robert / Valerie Patton (another grieving parent )
Every time I hear of an innocent child or young adult lose their life my heart feels like it is pounding out of my chest. I hurt for you, and so many who are traveling down this grief journey. Nothing compares to losing our child..Nothing....Kyle left this earth on May 2, 2006....the day before my B.D....He was my one and only child, beginning a new life like your son. Kyle's first name was James also, and would have turned 23 years old 17 days after his death. I wish it were different...the why's just never seem to leave us... Your Nick was so handsome....I can tell he has a wonderful spirit...and with that spirit he will be sending many signs to let you, his family and all his friends that he is beside you now and forever. God Bless You....Valerie (Loving Mom to James Kyle Berry)
hysical abuse is when an injury results in not just temporary redness, but bruising, broken bones, swelling, burns or broken skin / Robert Wilson (Father) Eyewitness News Everywhere uncovers a Mid-South child abuse investigation. Police say a 21 year old man hit a seven year old girl in the face with a metal belt buckle. The child was taken to LeBonheur Children’s Hospital and is now in temporary custody of her grandmother.
A woman who says she witnessed the beating tells us the girl's adopted mom asked her boyfriend to discipline the girl, and they claim this whole thing is being blown out of proportion.
The eyewitness says the girl got in trouble for playing with scissors near a light socket and cutting her brothers hair. That's when we're told she got hit in the face with a belt buckle.
"The belt buckle did hit her eye and her lip. He saw the blood on her nose and stopped and picked her up and said he was sorry."
The seven year old girl, who is a student at Cherokee Elementary School, has been in custody of her adopted mom since 2002. That's when a Shelby County Juvenile Court judge ruled she be taken away from her biological mom because of neglect and drug abuse. Now, possible child abuse is under investigation.
According to the Department of Child Services, physical abuse is when an injury results in not just temporary redness, but bruising, broken bones, swelling, burns or broken skin. You can spank your child on the buttocks or legs, as long as it doesn't result in the above injuries.
The 21 year old is the adopted mom's boyfriend and has lived in the home with this girl for two and a half years. So far, Memphis Police have not filed any charges, and if they do, it will be after DCS wraps up its investigation.
If you don't want to spank your child, the Memphis Child Advocacy Center has some tips for parents when it comes to discipline. Instead of spanking, they say you can give your child other consequences for their behavior, like time outs. If a child is doing something wrong, advocates say remove them from the situation and give them something constructive to do. They also stress that toddlers and infants don't know right from wrong and should not be hit or shaken.
LT. Sanders, couldn't help but think of you while reading this! / Robert Wilson (Father) Tension in West Memphis making it tough for cops to do their jobs WEST MEMPHIS - Words of support from the public mean a lot to the West Memphis Police Department these days. Since 12-year-old Deauntae Farrow was shot, officers have received death threats, and have been publicly accused of everything from covering up what happened last week, to flat out just being corrupt.
"They're trying to bring up every issue they ever had with the police department," said Asst. Police Chief Mike Allen. "Whether it's a family member arrested, or someone who got a speeding ticket."
Farrow was shot and killed last Friday by one of Allen's officers. Police say Farrow pointed a toy gun at them. Farrow's family says that's not true.
Allen offers his condolences to the family, but says this incident isn't a reflection of the entire department. He says his officers have worked hard to build a solid reputation, and in just seven days it's been ripped to shreds.
He just hopes during Farrow's funeral this weekend, tension in the city takes a backseat.
"[People] need to wait for the facts, this needs to be peaceful," he said.
The Crittenden County Sheriff's Department and the Arkansas State Police will be assisting the West Memphis Dept. this weekend.
A march will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday before Farrow's funeral. Participants are going to gather near the intersection of Goodwin and Ingram. The funeral will be held at 2:00 p.m.
butterfly/ Tim Trusty Yesterday, I was outside just thinking and a butterfly landed on my hand. I just stood there and knew Nick had graced me with his presence and thought I'd see what would happen when I raised my hand and it didn't fly for a long time..............
Finally, when it did, it flew around my head for a minute and landed on my shoulder. I just started to laugh out loud before a tear came to my eye. Thanks for reminding me, Nick, that you will always be with us. It hurts me deeply to see the hurt in Robert and Cliff and all the others that ever knew you Nick. Land on me whenever you want buddie....................
Sanders, West Memphis Police Department, Child Protective Services / Robert Wilson (Father) Matt,
This article sounds like PR tactics and a man seeking absolution....
The closing of this article is interesting considering that if Officer Sanders would have done his job vs. favors for Stephanie Carter my son would be alive right now. Want to know more about what I am referring to? Do you care?
Over 300 people have issues with Sanders evidenced by the electronic petition at the following link:
"Justice For Nick" petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/564945874
As well, regarding Child Protective Services, my son as did I, trusted the people that were supposed to protect. My son confided in them only to have what he said repeated to his abusive mother. Want more facts, please see the web sites listed below. There are voice recordings that will confirm what I am saying.
There are real issues in West Memphis and the law enforcement of WM; especially with a man like Sanders in a leadership position.

Children left home alone
By MATT BREWER MPBrew@gmail.com Two West Memphis women left their five children alone in a house while they went to the store.
Carla Smith, 24, and Laura Smith, 19, of 400 S. 9th Street in West Memphis were taken into police custody Friday after police dispatchers received a call about the incident.
�A 55-year-old witness and reported property owner called police at about 10:45 Friday, after she attempted to collect money from the renters and saw the children alone inside,� West Memphis Police Inspector Billy Sanders said. �When officers responded to the scene they were able to make contact with a 4-year-old child that advised officers that they were home alone.�
Sanders explained that the officers had to enter the house through the bedroom window.
�After the officers climbed through the window they couldn't leave the bedroom; they kicked in the door, finding that it was blocked by a couch, they then let the other officers into the house and searched for the parents,� Sanders said.
Five children, ages ranging from one to four, were locked in the bedroom while the mothers went to the store on the corner of 8th Street and Jackson Avenue, the children have been taken into custody by the Department of Health and Human Services. Carla Smith was charged with three misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, and Laura Smith was charged with two misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a minor.
�It's tragic when parents do things like this. If you look at how many deaths have occurred in the past by accidental fires, you can see why we enforce this law,� Sanders said. �If you leave you kinds alone and we find out about it, we will come and arrest you.�
Father/ Robert Wilson (Father) After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you."
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. What's wrong, are you well," she asked.
My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded. "Just the two of us".
She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's'. "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting."
We went to a restaurant that, al though not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nost al gic smile was on her lips. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said. "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation- -nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you, I agreed. "How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son".
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time." Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby.... Somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal" is history.
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct... Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.
Somebody said being a mother is boring ... Somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit. Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn out good"....somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.
Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices ... Somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor's kitchen window. Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother.... Somebody never helped a fourth grade with his math.
Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first ... Somebody doesn't have two children.
Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books.... Somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother Is labor and delivery....somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of Kindergarten .... or on a plane headed for military "boot camp".
Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.
Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her Child gets married....somebody doesn't know that Marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last Child leaves home...somebody never had Grandchildren.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her.... somebody isn't a mother.

Grandmother/ Mama Dee (Grandmother) Hi Nick, here it is Easter again; you'd be 17 now. How I remember all the Easter Egg Hunts and fun we had when you were small, and how you helped Alex find the Easter Eggs when he was so little...you were such a good big brother, always so good and loving. We all miss you so much; your beautiful smile, your wonderful hugs...just all of YOU!!! It makes us so sad that you didn't have the chance to live a long and full life....but, we know you were so brave while you were alive, and lived life with much joy; and brought so much happiness to so many in your "almost 16 years of life".
Popa Dan's been in the hospital for a couple of weeks, and he knows you've been watching over him, and I've felt you watching over me too...this has been such a comfort. We know you love us, and we love you so very much too.
You're in our thoughts and conversations each and every day. In our hearts you will always be alive!
Love Forever,
Mama Dee & Popa Dan
So sorry for your tragedy... / Jonathan-Barnes.Memo--ry-of.com (Fellow Angel in Heaven ) I, too, lost my son Jon in a suspicious house fire on December 11th, 2005. God bless you and your family, and I pray our sons may have met in Heaven already...Jon and James ^i^ Heavenly buddies. I wish you luck and peace in finding the truth, as we are looking for the same thing. Bless you, Carole (Jon's Mom)
MERRY CHRISTMAS / Dee Corbett (Grandmother) Hi Nick, As I sit here thinking about spending Christmas without you, and how hard it is, the thought occured to me of how wonderful your Christmas must be in Heaven with God and Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as you get to share in the celebration of the birth of Jesus, and see him at the same time. What a wonderful Christmas you must be having in Heaven...a true celebration of the soul. I loved you so very much, and will always love you. I know Mary is showing you the Mother's love you need and deserve, along with all of the angels.
Have a wonderful and glorious Christmas Nick, and don't ever forget how much you were loved. Mama Dee

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME / G-MA TO ANGELS MARK FLOYD &. ASHLEY BASS
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS, I DO HOPE THE GUILTY GET PUNISHED, I'M APALLED AT THIS STORY.
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an Angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you". Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true. Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free. So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
Thinking of you / Melissa Smith Blakemoore.memory-of--.com You were a blessing to us all, You were a special child, And we're so glad God sent you To be with us for awhile.
You filled our home with happiness, And made our life complete. The time we had with you Was far too short, but oh so sweet.
Some things we don't find easy To accept or understand, Till we realize they're part of Our Creator's perfect plan.
Now it comforts us to know You're with the angels up above, While in our hearts we hold you close, Surrounded always by our love.
Nick, you will forever be missed and loved. Robert, call any time, we are in this together, from beginning to ??????. Love & Hugs, Melissa
Words to Comfort, From Nick up above... / Melissa Smith Blakemoore.memory-of--.com Please don't say that I gave up, just say I gave in Don't say I lost the battle, for it was God's to lose or win Please don't say how good I was, but that I did my best Just say I tried to do what's right, to give the most I could not do less
Please don't give me wings or halos, that's for God to do I want no more than I deserve, no extras, just my due Please don't give me flowers or talk in harsh tones Don't be concerned about me now, I'm well with God I've made it home
Don't talk about what could have been, it's over and it's done Just see to all my family's needs, the battle has been won When you draw a picture of me, don't draw me as a saint I've done some good, I've done some wrong So use all your paint, not just the bright and light tones Use some gray and dark
In fact don't put me on canvas, paint me in your heart Don't just remember good times, but remember some bad For life is full of many things, some happy and some sad But if you must do something then I have one request Forgive me for the wrong I've done And with the Love that's left Thank God for my soul's resting Thank God for I've been blessed Thank God for all who loved me Praise God who loved me best!!!
Robert, you are in my thoughts and prayers on this the one year anniversary of your precious son, Dominic's, Angel Date. I am here for you, as I know you are for me. Love and Hugs to you and your family. Melissa
Dear Dominic, although known by many as Nick you will always be Dominic to me. I've loved you since before you were born, and the day you arrived was such a wonderful and beautiful morning. When you came home, we were just overjoyed with love, and couldn't get enough of you. You were always beautiful to look at; what a laugh and smile you had, and your wonderful eyes!! I've always heard the eyes are the windows to one's soul, if that's the case, you had a beautiful soul.
As the days, months and years moved on you grew into a very caring and tender hearted young man, so I know you had a beautiful soul, and for this reason I have no reason to doubt you are in Heaven with the Saints and Angels now, and forever in the loving arms of your Heavenly Father and Mother, forever loved and protected; yet I miss you so much, it just breaks my heart.
When I think of the many many wonderful times we shared and all the great memories you left for me, I'm just so thankful; thankful for you and thankful for the time we did have together. You were always a joy, and such a blessing. I hope you know I would have gladly given my life to have saved yours, in my heart I think you always knew that; gosh, I was always telling you how much I loved you, and how special you were.
I thank God for allowing us the special time before your death to say our final goodbyes, even though we didn't know it was to be our last goodbye. Your last words to me were through a hug, and you told me you loved me and said you'd be fine...and for me not to worry. God was with you, and you had such a sense of peace over you. I was worried sick about you having to go back to your mom's for a few days. Yes, you did have to leave this life, but God brought you home to Him. You have eternal life now.
I don't know why you had to die, and perhaps never will I don't know why anyone dies when they do, especially children. And murder, that just makes it worse! But, I keep remembering something I learned when I was very young, the question was "Why were we born?" The answer..."To know, love and serve God". A very simple answer that so many people try to make so complex...."To know, love and serve God"....you did that Dominic, you knew, loved and served God. As a testament of your love for God, your fellow man & fairness you had many friends from all walks of life and ages who cared deeply for you. What an outstanding tribute for anyone, at any age.
Here we are at one year since your death. This is still so hard to accept and comprehend. You were 15 and counting the days until you turned 16 so you could get your driver's license. You laughed and told your Dad you'd be taller than him by Christmas...and maybe you would have been, you just need a few more inches. You both laughed, and there was such love and pride in your Dad's eyes as he looked at you...I saw the same look in your eyes as well. This is the last time I saw you and your Dad together in our home, not the last time I saw you....you and your Dad were at the front door and about to go out, and were both in great spirits and laughing and being your normal selves...you were both happy! We were all happy.
Now a year later, we are celebrating your short years of life here on this earth. You touched so many, and we mourn and grieve our loss of you; and the life that was stolen from you. Our inspiration, our future, our love, our happiness and joy; that was you, my Dominic. We're trying so hard to re-build our lives, but it's so hard.
Thank you for loving me and I'm so thankful I was allowed to be your grandmother.

Another day.. another thought of Nick..... RIP
Let me reach out to you, touch your hand with mine. Let me hear you whisper "It will all be fine." Let me take your place, in that firey nightmare. Please tell me your were gone, before the pain got near. I think of you and smother, not one breath to inhale. I was so close to saving you, but it was you the system failed. Let me see you smile, the smile that lights up the night, let me hear you tell me "Everything's alright." I want to feel you near me, and hug me once more. I wish I could close my eyes and make it as before. You didn't say goodbye, not one word was said. But in the dark morning light, tears were to be shed. Let me hear you tell me "Father I felt no pain." Give me hope and strength to live until we meet again.
He woke up in Heaven / Dee Ann Corbett (Grandmother) I loved Nick so very much, and would have gladly given my life to save his……I think we all feel the same way. I think when he went to sleep that last night, he knew how much he was loved and he knew he wasn’t going to have to live with his Mom anymore. He never knew what happened to him, and for that, I’m so grateful. He woke up in Heaven!!
