She was so pale and frail looking, especially when asleep. Izzy Baby went back again to lick the wrinkled skin on the back of Mama’s hand. It was beginning to get cold when the loud knock came at the door. She jumped with fright as the door burst open and people in white uniforms and others in blue uniforms flooded into the room, but she sensed that they were there to help Mama- - -and they did. Her oxygen tank had not automatically switched and she had slowly lost consciousness. She looked at Izzy Baby and smiled. The message was not lost and Izzy curled up and went to sleep with only the tip of her ear touching Mama’s foot. But, it never lost contact.

I have a sassy little Chihuahua,
she can be a nut
and sometimes she misbehaves
and I spank her little butt.
Sometimes she's such a "Diva"
and thinks she is the "Queen"
and she can be so prissy
if you know what I mean.
I love her like she's my own,
and that might just sound strange
but no matter what I do
she never does complain.
She loves me without hesitance,
and protects me at all cost
she's got the "Napoleon" complex
and without her, I'd be lost.
We got her a little friend,
and she's a stinker too
and another little priss
which is nothing new.
They really do act like our kids,
and we already have three sons
I guess it just adds to the mix
when the day is done.
So with that being said,
it's not so hard to see
though she is just "Isabella"
she'll always be, my little IzzyB.

Please don’t cry Mommy,
I’m in Heaven above.
I wanted you to know,
I look down at you with love.
Jesus needed another angel,
So I answered His call,
I want you to know I’m still in your hearts,
It’s like I never left at all.
When you hear a gentle laugh,
Or see a bright eyed smile,
You can remember,
You’ll see me in a while.
I touched the hearts of many,
I continue to touch them still,
When I was on earth,
I tried to do God’s will.
Now I’m up in Heaven,
But I’ll see you once again,
Hopefully this battle,
Is something you will win.
daddy
how are you today?
my mom shed blood and tears
the day you went away
i was just three month old
i didnt understand
but now i know it proves
you are not a man
and mommy

the boys that you have raised
you are much stronger
than any man ive seen

unconditionally

Izzy
A big man with a long, long name,
His sweet tender voice brought him great fame.
He lived with a curse and died in his prime,
But he’ll be remembered as one of the best of his time.
Hawaii his home, he lay there in state,
His country so proud , so sad for his fate.
His “Over the Rainbow” will bring you to tears,
Oh Izzy, I wish we could roll back the years.

Five days in the narrows.

A birth defined on an August I AM!g0
And my vision is funny not fuzzy,
Souper sunny in the morning not dizzy...

A system drawn in a perfect way.see
A Wake.yes. A Long ago yes. I Be.
