Katrina "Noel" Burford
December 28, 1986 - October 13, 2003
Near my heart you'll always be
Often I feel you about me
Each moment in time brings me to you
Love, will bring us through
As the sun rises and shines, I can see your smiling face and hear your laughter...
And as the moon glows I then can see you sleeping - still holding that smile.
I hold you tight within me and I'll only wait for the day we meet again.
I love you Katrina Noel Burford.
I want you to know I was proud of you - you are every Mother's dream. I so miss you.

I am the wind
Blowing gently on a warm sunny day
Can you see me?
I am a winged creature of God
Floating in the air on a summer day
Can you smell me?
I am the sweet fragrant flowers of spring.
I am all around you
I know you can not see me
But I am always with you.
Just close your eyes
Soon...
You will be
Riding on the wings of my love
To a world
Where there is only love
Where troubles are no more
Where the wind will be your strength
To carry on
And the fragrance of the wild flowers
Will heal your wounds
And time stands still.
So...
The next time you see wings in flight
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon you will see
Alone you will never be.

your Nana Clara, and your fiance` Kristian. Your entire family, along with your friends
also miss Noel very much.
The soul of a child is the loveliest flower
That grows in the Garden of God.
Its climb is from weakness to knowledge and power
To the sky from the clay to the clod.
To beauty and sweetness it grows under care.
Neglected 'tis ragged and wild.
'Tis a plant that is tender, but wondrously rare
The sweet willful soul of a child.
Be tender, O gardener, and give it its share
Of moisture of warmth and of light
And let it not lack for the penetration care
To protect it from frost and from high
A glad day will come when its bloom shall unfold,
It will seem that an Angel has smiled
Reflecting a beauty and sweetness untold
in the sensitive soul of a child.

Though you are gone
I know your still with me
In the simple things
I used to never see
One day while walking
I chanced to see
A butterfly
Seeming to follow me
In the yard one day
A little bluebird up in a tree
Singing it's song
To no one but me
Then early one morning
Right after the sunrise
On a rosebush where no roses ever grew
Was a beautiful rose, much to my surprise
All these things happened for a reason
Just for me to see
It's just your way of showing
You are still with me...
Written by Coleman Doyle Alldredge
I know you haven't left me,
Your presence I still feel,
The love you give surrounds me,
And your smile it seems so real.
While I lay at night in stillness,
Your voice to me so clear,
My heart starts beating faster,
When I know that you're so near.
Sweetheart come and take me,
To the Heaven where you live,
God knows I long to hold you,
I still have so much to give.
You wouldn't have to keep me there,
Just only for a while,
Long enough to hug you,
And to once more see your smile.
Can you hear me speaking,
Are you close enough to hear,
Will you please reach out and touch me,
So I'll know that you are near.
Could it be that you are sleeping,
While I dream again once more,
Or God showing what faith can do,
When I open up His door.
I hold you safely in my heart,
And you travel through my soul,
The days we spent together,
Were the happiest I'll ever know.
You are sweet like the breath of an Angel,
That lingers and will never leave,
I'll see you soon my precious child,
And no longer shall I grieve.
Before you have to go my love,
Please fly me to the stars,
I need to see where you rest at night,
And if I have to travel far.

Noel's Nana said how Noel loved dolphins,
that is why you see all the dolphins on Noel's web site.
Go ahead and mention my child
The one that died,
You know
Don't worry about hurting me further
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry
I'm already crying inside
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent
Pretending it doesn't exist
I'd rather you'd mention my child
Knowing that he has been missed.
You asked me how I'm doing.
I say "Pretty good" or "fine"
But healing is something on-going
I feel it will take a lifetime.

This is one of Mama's favorite pictures of Noel.

I'll be calling you
When the Meadowlark sings
I'll be touching you
With the warm Spring rains
I'll watch over you
Like a moon in the sky
For I know Love Never Dies
Though the winds may blow and scatter
all our faith and our hope
Only one thing really matters and that's
Love...that's Love...
I'll be ever true
Like the Northern star
So you can find my heart
Wherever you are
And when evening falls
You can close your eyes
And rest easy
Love Never Dies
Though the winds may blow and scatter
All my faith and all my hope
There's only one thing that ever really matters
That's Love.......Sweet Love.....
I'll be calling you each time the Meadowlark sings
And I'll be touching you with every beat of its wings
And when evening falls......
You just close your eyes
And rest easy.......
Love Never Dies....
A butterfly came to me today and landed upon my knee.
His wings were heavy from the rain. I knew you had sent him to me.
Only an Angel such as yourself would care about these things,
so I dried him with my breath and set him on some leaves.
As I sat there watching him soaking in the sun,
I thought how great it must be to fly, it looks like so much fun.
My Angel now you have your wings,
Don't let my tears weigh them down.
I know someday I will see you again,
until then keep sending the butterflies around.

This poem is one of many my ANGEL Lee wrote, it is very special to me,
and would love to share it with you.
Softness of the skin
Sweetness in the smell
Nectar of the fruit
Tender in the heart
Dancing in the eyes
Uplifting in the smile
Tickle of the touch
Joining in the love
Truth in the speech
Love in the laughter
Primal in the scream
Soft in the whisper
Quick in the mind
Fair in the sentence
Brave in the confrontation
Joining in the love
Graceful in the sleep
Careful in the search
Deep in the sorrow
Strength in the sickness
Giving of thy self
Rich in the health
Kind in the giving
Joining in the love

May you feel God's presence and

My Love and Prayers for a lovely little girl that left this earth too soon.
