Where to even start? Lizzy {Elizabeth Paige Cornes} was born August 14th, 1996. She weighed 6lbs 1oz
and was born at 3:41 p.m. I was in labor with her for 19.5 hours, I guess she wasn't ready to enter
this crazy world. She was due on my birthday August 17th, but decided to come before that. She was
the best birthday present any parent could ask for. She was very energetic and loved to play with
any kind of ball, I think in fact that was her first word. Little did we know she would be the
athletic one. She was a tomboy and very unique and didn't care what others thought. She started
playing soccer when she was 8 and loved it. She also became interested in skateboarding at around 9
years of age. We bought her a cheap skateboard from Toys R Us and she loved it. I joined MySpace,
made an awesome new friend, whos son skates with Tony Hawk, but I didn't know that at the time. The
band Rush was what started our friendship. When I told him about Busy Lizzy he sent her a deck
signed by Tony Hawk and they made a complete board just for her as well sending her lots of cool
skating clothes which she wore all the time. She started to become more serious with her skating and
soccer. She wanted to be a professional soccer player when she grew up. The day before she passed
she made two goals, her first ever. And they won their game. She was learning new tricks on her
board and almost had that ollie down......... The weekend was going great. This was on a Saturday
Feb. 24th. Her best friend Thomas came in first in a school project and she made her goals. I
remember that day like it was yesterday. The 25th of Feb. started out good also. She played
basketball. Had her best friend Thomas come over and his brother Russel. They rode 4-wheelers for a
little while. Her dad bought her the new Tony Hawk playstation game and her and I played that for
awhile. It was a good day until Thomas left for his boyscout meeting. She stayed inside to play her
game with her dad. She would get bored easily so she would always have to do something with her
hands. Which is why she wanted to play drums, and she was in the percussion section in her school's
band. Later that day Thomas's brother came over to play with Lizzy and they started riding
4-wheelers again. She came inside and put the key on the table next to me, they were skating I think
and then they decided to ride 4-wheelers again. I had the key to the 4-wheeler. She came in and
asked me "Can I go ride 4-wheelers again?" We were supposed to go and eat Sunday supper at my mother
in laws house down the road and I hesitated when I gave her the key..........I don't know if it was
a bad feeling I had, but then she looked at me with those big blue eyes and I handed her the key
which I REGRET to this day. I gave it to her and told her that she can't ride long since we will be
going to eat at her grandma's house. I also told her not to race and go past 2-3 gear, to which she
smiled and said "OK mom!!" And she ran out of the house..............Little did I know that was the
last time I would see her alive. The accident is still sort of a mystery to us. We do know she
passed away from cardiac arrest and she fractured her skull. She was in 5th gear and I think she
turned the 4-wheeler to sharp, got scared, used the wrong breaks and flew backwards banging the back
of her head pretty badly on the rack in the back. We do know that she was conscience for a few after
she hit her head since she did turn off the 4-wheeler........I think she was coming to get us, but
she didn't make it and collapsed next to the 4-wheeler. Her friend Russell found her on the ground
bleeding heavily and came to get us. My husband performed CPR and could tell her pulse was slowing
down. It seems like it took forever for the ambulance and Air-Med to reach us..............In my
heart I knew that she wasn't going to make it. She passed away in her dads arms next to the
4-wheeler. We blame ourselves. She should have had a helmet on, if she did she still might be with
us. Well that is about it. It has been 2 1/2 years since she passed but it feels like it happened
just yesterday. I think about her everyday and can't believe she is gone. I would have traded places
with her in a heart beat. PLEASE if you know someone who rides any kind of bike/ATV. Please make
sure they wear a helmet. If anything I have learned from this and hope to pass on from our tragedy
is that I wish for everyone to be safe and wear helmets at all times, please.............If we would
have only known, she might be here with us today :(
4-6-09 ** Thank you to ALL who have been leaving messages and lighting candles, you just don't know
how much it means to me.

*♥~Bereaved Birthdays~♥*
*♥*
Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years?
*♥~♥*
A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share it's special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife.
*♥~♥~♥*
Before a spirit comes to us
It knows when and how it must depart
It chose it's path carefully
We are honoured from the start.
*♥~♥~♥~♥*
The sadness we now feel
On such a joyous day
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It's natural to feel this way.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark a spirit's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us every day.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*
So hug your precious memories
Closer to your heart
And honour your beloved spirit
Who chose you from the start.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*

Lost.......
The moment that you died,
Our hearts split in two.
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.
We often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep;
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it every day.
But missing you is heartache,
That never goes away.
We hold you tightly within our hearts,
And there you will remain.
Life has gone on without you,
But it will never be the same.
For those who still have their loved ones,
Treat them with tender care.
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and they are not there.

Letter From Heaven.
When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
SLEEP TIGHT SWEET ANGEL
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Taken From Me
Angie Flores
I'm sitting here in my room, looking at your picture.
Wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future.
Uncontrollable tears stream down my face,
while my heart beat starts to race.
Asking god why he took you from my life,
it was more painful than stabbing me in the heart with a knife.
I still needed you here
you were the one to make everything so clear.
you are apart of me and I am apart of you
when you died a part of me died too.
I never knew how hard it was to loose someone you love
until the day you went to heaven above.
Even though I can't see,
I know your up there watching over me.
I miss you more and more everyday
and all I can do is pray.
In my heart you shall forever remain.

I wear a pair of shoes
They are ugly shoes
Uncomfortable shoes
I hate my shoes
Each day I wear them and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step
Yet, I continue to wear them
I get funny looks wearing these shoes
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not their's
They never talk about my shoes
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt
No woman deserves to wear these shoes
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
