Stephanie Nichol Rasmussen

Stephanie, I have so many fond memories of our time together on earth. I can not even put into words how badly I miss your voice, your smile and your hugs. Stephanie, life will never be the same without you here with us. I want so badly to hold you and tell you all of the happy memories that you gave me. I am so thrilled to have been given the opportunity to be your mom. Jason misses you so badly too. I hope you realize how much you are loved and missed.

We will all be together again, that is Gods promise. I know that you are without any worries now, you can praise out creator and tell him all about your family on earth. I love you Stephanie and you will always be my beautiful daughter.

I am so happy to have been you and Jason's mom. I will always love you both more than life itself. I want so badly to see you and hold you again. Your brother misses you so much also. Stephanie you left this earth to young, but we will see each other again because I trust in God.

I remember the day that you and your brother were watching tv and you bit your brother bottom and it knocked out your front tooth;)

You were my best friend throughout my life. Whenever I needed any advice, you were always the one I would call. I always admired the way you were such a good mom and wife ~ so devoted and hard working. A couple months ago I went to Lake Chelan, it was almost midnight, very dark out, and I could barely see the water, I just sat there for a few minutes and thought of all the times we were there together and all the fun that we had. Thank you for being the best friend a girl could have. I love you Vanessa

Dearest Mommy

When you wonder the meaning of life and love
Know that I am with you,
Close your eyes and feel me kissing you
in the gentle breeze across your cheek.

When you begin to doubt that you shall ever see me again
Quiet your mind and hear me,
I am in the whisper of the heavens
Speaking of your love.

When you lose your identity
When you question who you are and where you are going,
Open your heart and see me,
I am the twinkle in the stars smiling down upon you,
Lighting the path for your journey.

When you awaken each morning
Not remembering your dreams
But feeling content and serene
Know that I was with you--
Filling your night with thoughts of me

When you linger in the remnant pain
Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar
Think of me and
Know that I am with you,
Touching you through the shared tears of a gentle friend
Easing your pain.

As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky
In the breathtaking glory, awaken your spirit
Think of our time, all too brief, but ever brilliant.
When you were certain of us
