My Sister  / Donna James (Sister)

You were my sister
that truly would shine
Bright as a star
in the darkest of times
Knowing you were my sister
made me so proud
You would stand out
in any crowd
You were my dear sister 
whom i will always love 
You are the bright star
that shines above.

I LOVE YOU

What all my sisters mean to me  / Debbie Brandley (Sister)

All three of my sister will always be my best friend that you keep forever 
They are all a permanent shoulder to lean on
I would like to tell you now
My sisters
How well you have filled the role
And how I hope and try my best to give you
The same unconditional love that you have given me Throughout the years of our lives
I don't know what I would have done without
You all
After all, every girl needs a best friend,
A confidant,
And someone that they can count on
No matter what.
Thank you for being that person. Even though my beautiful big sister is not here with me now, I have all the good memories of her.

 But I still have my other two sisters who are more important to me to-day than ever before.

I love you all

Forever.
Your now big sister

Debbie

missing you  / Debbie Brandley (Sister)
I am missing you day by day
I wonder if your ever watching and taking care of me
I hear you calling me and I turn around and I see nothing
I want you by my side again hugging and making me laugh
I am missing you day by day
I imagine us having those little special moments we had
I feel sad because your not around anymore
I touch everything you left so I can remember
I worry that your not in a good place
I cry because i lost you forever and i know i will never see you again
I am missing you day by day
I understand that's how life is
I say some come and some go
I dream each and everyday what would my life be if you were still here with me
I try to be strong but I don't know how long I will last
I hope we see each other some day in the future but until now
I am missing you day by day

Keeping Memories Alive  / Rosie Hill (old family friend )

Firstly i would like to say this site is absolutely amazing the dedication and love by everyone who has left messages and poems is truly beautiful. Donna you have kept Christines memory alive by having somewhere her loved ones and friends still feel connected to her. Lighting a candle or leaving messages must certainly help on a day to day basis for people to express their feelings.  My love and condolences go out to Christines family.

Missing you at Xmas  / Ashleigh James (Niece)
Its hard to believe that another Christmas is upon us, another Christmas without you.  It certainly isn't getting easier.  You are still thought of and missed dearly especially at this time of year.  We love you Aunty Chris. Close

Genuine Person  / Alan Reid (ex-neighbour)
Hi, I'd like to offer my condolences to Christine's family and to also say that she was the most genuine person that I have ever met.
We are poorer from her passing but enriched from the time we had with her.
regards Alan Reid Close

Im so sorry for your loss  / Christine Daughter Of Omer LeBlanc (Someone who cares )

Forever In My Heart  / Donna James (sister)
I love you so much Christine and I will never ever forget you or let go of you.

Love always, Donna Close

I STILL MISS YOU  / Donna James (SISTER)

This yearning in my heart
This confusion in my mind
The words left unspoken
Haunts me all the time

Everyday I watch pass by
With an emptiness in my life
And a hole in my heart
Where only you belong

There are nights I wake up crying
And wishing you were here
So many times I wish and pray
That you were near.

There is something that keeps me holding on -
What I'll never know
But at least I have the memories
Oh Christine I miss you so

A Smiling Rose  / Donna James (SISTER)
Some called her Christine,
some called her Chris.
Her smile was a trademark,
wherever she went.
A room would brighten
when Christine came in
'cause the first thing you saw,
would be her grin!

A sister so precious;
a friend so true!
Whatever she had,
she'd share it with you!
A thought, a deed, a kind
word for a while
But always, oh always,
She'd share 'Her Smile'.

Our hearts are breaking,
won't stop, no matter!
We've lost a friend:
Sister, a mother!
"But only for a while,"
I heard Jesus say
"She's been chosen for the
Master's Bouquet!"

Hand selected by Jesus from
this 'garden of life'
Gone to Heaven!-She's
been taken from our lives!
Why is she gone?
God only knows.
But Oh what a treasure,
A "smiling rose!" Close

ON THE WINGS OF A MEMORY  / Donna James (Sister)

On the wings of a memory I saw a vision of you there,
With rainbows in your eyes and heaven's light in your hair.
I reached for your hand just one more touch,
Is it asking for a miracle is it asking too much?
I feel your presence on the wind I smell you on the rain,
Just one more time to have your laughter ease the pain.
To see that wonderful grin on your face,
To have your smile light up even the darkest place.
If it were possible, I'd pray you back home with the dawn,
But then again, on the wings of my memories you're not really gone.
I love you Sis, Donna.

TRIBUTE TO MY SISTER  / Donna James (Sister)

If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my sister's arms
and tell her they're from me. 

Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek and
hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.


2 years today my darling sis and I miss you more than ever.  I love you deeply Christine.  Please give us the strength to keep going.  Love always, Donna

IF I HAD THE WORLD TO GIVE  / Donna James (sister)
If I had all the world to give,
I’d give it, yes, and more,
To hear your voice, see your smile,
And greet you at the door.

But all I can do, dear Sister
Is go and tend your grave,
And leave behind tokens of love
To the best mother God made.

I like to think when life is done,
Wherever heaven may be,
You'll be standing at the door
Up there to welcome me. Close

THE MOMENT YOU DIED  / Donna James (Sister)
The moment that you died,
My heart split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheek.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it never will be the same.
For those who still have their sisters,
Treat him with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and she is not there. Close

I LOOKED TOWARDS THE CLOUDS TODAY  / Donna James (Sister)
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.

I Love & miss you with all my heart.
Donna. Close

2 YEARS HAVE PASSED  / Donna James (Sister)
Two years have passed, we feel the pain,
Your absence is heartfelt  Christine.
Debbie and I, kids, and friends too,
The entire family is missing you.
You're in our hearts, not a day goes by,
When your smile, your laughter,
Brings a tear to the eye,
Our loss bears pain, but the memories dear,
For we know that our angel is very near.
We know we'll see you again some day,
We dearly love you more than words can say Close

My love to her family  / A. Visitor To Your Memorial
I know how it feels to lose a sister - no matter what the reason one never understands why some have to leave sooner than others. Reading this wonderful tribute to Christine bought tears to my eyes and refreshed the memories of my sister who has been gone for 8 years now. Their lives were so simular I am sure they both reside together  - the love for their family of the utmost importance as they resume their duties as Guardian Angels. My love and thoughts to you all.

The Closure of the Book  / Donna James (SISTER)
Its so hard seeing the house so empty.  The house is all about you.  You finally finished everything you wanted to do in that lovely home.  You were so proud of your home and all you accomplished.  I feel like its the final closure.  Saying good bye again brings all the tears and pain back.  I will never ever forget you Christine and my heart aches so much every day I think of you and especially at the moment with the selling of the house.  This will be a good thing for Mark and the kids.  I know they all need to move on, although, like all of us, we will never let go of you and your memory.  I love you with all my heart and will miss you forever.  Love always, your sister,  Donna.
