Here are newspaper clippings on my niece Anne Louise Mare Dixon's birth announcement as well as her death announcement. Also included a picture card made by her mother Ashleigh Dixon, and the remembrance booklet from her funeral. Both the birth announcement and death announcement was published in The Standard in 2011.

The Reading 

Hopi Prayer  

Do not stand at my grave and weep.  I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint in the snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night do not stand at at my gave and cry: I am not there, I did not die.        

We commit Anne's ashes to their final resting place; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Lord bless her and keep her, the Lord make his face to shine upon her and be gracious to her, the Lord lift up his countenance upon her and give her peace. Amen       

All - Anne into the darkness and warmth of the earth, into the freedom of wind and sunshine. We let you go. Into the sadness and smiles of our memories, into the dance of the stars and the planets. We let you go. Into the cycle of living and dying and rising again, into the winds breath and the hands of the starmaker. We let you go. May you rest in peace and fulfillment, we love you, miss you, we want you to be happy. Amen

The Littlest Angel

I'm only a small child, not much do I know. But God holds my hand as I look down below. I'm here with God in the most wonderful place yet I can feel much joy when I see your sad face.

Your heart has been broken, I can see from up here as your struggle along and wipe every tear. If only I had words I could send you today that would tell you I'm home and I'm really okay.

Heaven's so beautiful with sparkles and wings and the angels are teaching me so many things. I'll grow and mature in this Heavenly land whild holding on tightly to God's warm hand.

So don't grieve for me now but find peace in your soul, and know God has made your little one whole. And even if you can't seem to understand "why", please know in your heart that our love did not die.
