To My BIG Sis Irene LaPlante
How I wish that we could have had more time together, but I will NEVER forget the time we did
have together. You are and FOREVER will be my BIG Sister. I miss you dearly and I think about
you every day. Although we had not been in contact in the last several years, I thought about
you all the time. Talked about you. I have my many regrets, but I know that I will be with you
again some day in heaven. When I was growing up I always looked up to you. You were so, so
beautiful, confident, funny, and so many other things. I always told everyone about my beautiful
big sister Irene! I remember so many times you would come see me and Racheal and you and
Stacy would take us out. There was a while in 1996 that we couldnt be torn apart. Many nights
we just stayed up talking and laughing the night away. We finally got to be close sisters and
share our every thought, fears, what made us happy or sad, we didnt leave a thing out. and I will
always cherish those times. Although it hurts that I dont have more memories, I will forever
thank God that he gave us those times. Im lucky to have shared that time with you!! I Love You
and Miss You!!
You are now with the Lord and you are one of his Angels. Your Memory and Spirit will always be
with all of us!!
Love Your Little Sister Kimmy LaPlante
Krissie
Irene I will never forget you.
A Face In The Clouds:
I looked towards the clouds today
and for a moment saw your face
And wondered just were you have gone
with a hope it's a better place
Did you show yourself to me today
to tell me you're alright?
Or was it just a daydream
playing tricks upon my sight
February 4, 2008
Then I thought of when you left
you did not say a word
No hugs and kisses..
no good-bye was heard
You have changed our lives forever
Your time here not in vain
and hope you know we always tried
to keep you safe from pain
We will always feel the void inside
because you are not here
But each new thought you send our way
let's us know you're always near
So until our journey nears it's end
And we hear the angels sing
We'll face each new day as it comes
and live off the love you bring

Little Cousin Irene,
I know that we may be cousin's but as we grew as a child you was always like a
little sister to me. We all use to spend alot of time together when we all lived in your
grandfathers house in Rochester, Jody,Jerry,Krssie, Joey and myself it was so much
fun even when we all would yell at Joey for playing the same old record ( Great Balls
Of Fire ). Some times you would come and spend time at my house on locust st. I
could go on and on there are so many wonderful memories of you and I wish very
much that we could have them today, You are home now with my dad uncle Dave,
Grandma Houghton, your grandma & grandpa wonderful people and so many aunts
and uncles you will be very love and looked after . you are always in our hearts and
memories love you always.
Krissie
A simple prayer
January 28, 2008
Father God, Thank You for always being there for me no matter what I face. I know You will never fail me, even in my most intense
trials. I have not always understood why I was going through certain things; however, I do not have to understand, because You
are God and You are in control, in spite of my lack of understanding. I know that all You require of me is to trust You, and look to
You in faith and You will come and save me, and bring me an answer. You always have, and You always will, because you are
faithful. You never fail any of us who look to You. I have failed You, Lord, by my doubt and unbelief at times, but You have never
failed me. Lord, please remove all the sorrow and grief I feel. Heal this pain I feel in my heart and help me to trust You more. Fill
this empty place in my heart with more of Your Spirit. I ask this in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen

miss u
January 24, 2008
To a beloved friend, I will miss you dearly, i'll miss your beautiful smile and the way you used to make me
laugh. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART....
Memories
all the gray you turned into colors..
Krissie
I remember that you told me you would always be around. I can't believe
this month is your birthday and you are not here. I keep hoping this is not
true. I jump when the phone rings hoping you will be on the other line,
laughing at me and telling me you are ok. I wish I could go back and tell you
everything. I needed you so much in the last year and i couldn't find you.
Then you found me again and then you were gone again.. This time not to
come back. I am not sure how long I can go on thinking that this is not real.
My heart is so broken I don't think it can be fixed. I can only fake like I am
ok. I don't trust anything or anyone anymore. Remember that time when the
family wasn't talking to me for like 5 years and you for like a year or so.
You and I still hung out. You never cared what anyone thought. God, how
much I miss you even though you could be a pain in my butt sometimes. What a mess our lives are......I
wish you could tell me what the hell went wrong...
Jordan.
Mom.
Everyday i'ts hitting me harder that your never comeing
back.I miss you. Every time i read your letter i cry &cry.
I'm happy I now have your ashes but i wish i had you
instead. Aunty Krissie & Uncle Bobby are amazing people and
im sure you are already aware of that but without them
Alize &I would be lost with all of this. I try to talk to
you sometimes but its hard because i still cant beleive
it.I wish i could call Matts house and you would anwser so
i could talk to you again and ask you for advice .When i
lay in bed i think about all we used to do amd it herts so bad because you were
almost here, you were doing GREAT and I really believed in you.I love you so
much.
Sam
Miss you auntie..all the fun we had, you were the best aunt.
Krissie
I miss you so much. I just want you back. Remember the time we went roller blading in Fairhaven. Some
how we came out on rte 6 in Matt. it was so hot and we had run out of water. You just took off your
skates and went barefoot into Mike's rest. and asked for a large glass of water with 2 straws. When you
came out i couldn't believe they had given it to you. we sat on the side walk and drank water and laughed
so hard. then we were like "oh sh@#" we have to make it all the way back...but we did and we kept
laughing the whole way.....
Jordan
My Favorite Memory with you Mom is just always having fun whatever we did ..
When you took me to get my nails done for the 1st time :) & When You Alize and I
would eat as much junk food as possible , rent movies then all jump into your big
bed and laugh and talk all night until we fell asleep. God i miss you so much .. i
wish we could all just do that one more time ..
My hardest memory was seeing you laying in the hospital bed , I couldnt believe my eyes .. Seeing the
strongist person I know laying hopelessly .. At that moment i needed you the most just to hold me and tell
me everything is going to be ok .. but i knew it wasnt ..
I love you so much mom and my memories are what give me the strenght i need .. i miss you and always
will because you cant see Alize and I grow up and I know thats what you wanted the most .. I MISS YOU.
alize
you were the best mom i ever had......I look at the clouds and i see you looking down at me and jordan...I wish there was a stair way to heaven so
i could feel you hold me just one more time .... plz don't ever forget me i know i wont for get you...i love you and you know that.... i will see you
soon... plz come in my dreams and tell me what happened.. did he do it to u ????? or did you know it wasn't good for you plz just tell me
plz??!!!!!!!i love you and will never for get you .... thank you for all the years we had together just thanks...
Dear Mommy,
alize
i love my mommy she was the best mother i ever had it hurts me to see her go
and when i'm at the mall i sometimes see her old friends it just hurts me to much
at this very moment she looking down at me ,jordan,and anutie krissy
Krissie
My heart is breaking. I just got my phone bill with all the calls from you on it 9 in total. God how I wish I
could turn back the clock. I miss you and your calls so much. I can't believe it still.
I love you
Your Oldest Babygirl , Jordan
Mommy, Oh how i miss you .. i cant begin to explain , its hard to share because i feel
so much pain, How could this happen ? How could this be real? All i want to do is hold
you and never let go, But i have to face it my mommys gone and i have to move on..
But why? i'll never understand why god didnt give you just one last chance, Nor why
he had to take my mommy away from me and my little sister, My throat burns and my
tears flow because i know i have to let go .. I just want you here though so i can tell
you one last time , You mean everything to me, but now im left lonley and sad to sit
here and think Your gone .. your really gone .. but one thing I know and i wish i could
tell you one last time is I love you mom until the end of time xoxo
Deborah ( Houghton) Tillson
we all lived on walnut plain road your grandads house and he had a goat there and geeses ,dogs ,cats we
all wouldgo out side and play ,chase the goat around the tree and then we all would sit around the big tree
in the front yard and talk about what we'er going to do next. some times we would go for a walk to visit
the horses next door to us and then some of us kids would ride the dirt bike ,have barbaquesbut one day all
us girls was in the up stairs bedroom playin games and then the door fell on my head and you & Krissie
laughed so hard at me poor Jody was so worried that i was hurt but it did not end there we went down
stairs to make a peanutbutter and jelly sandwhich and Jody started making prank calls to people saying my
mommy aint home and i am hungry and i don't know how to make a peanutbutter sandwhich she did it
almost all night then we made a fire in the fireplace and we burnt up your mom rollers for there were in
the fireplace and we did not know it until we saw them burning,the best was always picking on Joey about
that record. there is so many memories to share love you
Your sister..
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever
Psalm 23
Mom
To my beautiful special baby girl, I remember the night you were born, and how you got the name you
carried through your life. Most recently how we walked through the cemetary reading the stones, and how
you felt when you were denied the very things you loved the most. Your daughters, Mommy held you ,hen
you cried and when you were happy. I have lost a part of me that no one could ever know unless they have
lost a child. I just want to give your daughters what they want and spare them the agony that goes with all
the final details. And please let them know in their hearts that granma would never keep them from
anything. Mommy cannot sleep or eat and I cry all the time until I can do what you wished. Jody, Jerry,
Joe, And Crocket are very sad, that it is all going this way.
Krissie
A Fond Farewell
If I should leave this world
Without a warning,
And not even whisper a fond farewell,
Grieve not for one more message
From the lips that God has stilled.
But just remember me with love
And prayers for my soul's journey
To that far land beyond life's tears.
For I have believed with all my heart
In its existence, and I know that
God is good, for He has come to me
Through the life of Him whose very
Garment I have sought to touch.
It may be lonely, and I hope you miss me
Just a little, because I have loved so deeply.
Forgive me if I have ever hurt you
And remember me for what I longed to be.
Have faith that I am nearer than
Your dreams and fondest longings.
For the God of love shall keep all
Kindred spirits close together,
Though the misty vale between
This would and that to come
Keep us from each other's sight
For a few precious moments.
Whisper softly that you love me
And it shall linger on within my soul
Until you come.
Say not good-bye,
For on some bright tomorrow
We shall meet again.
