God's Child God has called his special child to his special place. He wanted her in heaven, because of all the love he gave. She has to leave us, but it's only for a little while. She wants us to celebrate her going home with gallant smile. We must be strong in the Lord's name. We must live on and do all things the same. We cannot feed our loneliness on empty days. But we must fill each waking hour in useful ways. We must reach out our hands in comfort and in cheer, And God in turn, will comfort

Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name ’ s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.

be afraid to die, For He is waiting for us in the sky.

Acknowledgement We do not always know what lies ahead, but knowing that someone is standing by with love and understanding inspires us and fills us with needed confidence in Gods love and in our ability to handle whatever is before us through faith. The family would like to thank you for your prayers, flowers, cards, food & your acts of kindness thoughtfulness. May God continue to bless you.

Life Reflections Destiny was a loving, caring and highly intelligent baby girl who had a love for the love for the Lord. Since a very young age of 9 months old, singing gospel hymns. One of Destiny ’ s favorite songs was Aerosmith— “ I Don ’ t Miss A Thing ”.

A Parents Prayer Dear God,

You sent a child to me To fill my life with joy, And only You knew which was best -- A little girl or boy. Somehow I took for granted, Lord, That we would have a lifetime, And I made so many future plans For that precious child of mine. Enchanted by that Miracle, Caught up in each new day, I guess I didn't hear You, Lord, When You said, 'This one can't stay.' I trust You, Lord. Thy will; not mine, Yet I can't understand This sudden loss -- the emptiness -- Lord, guide me with your hand. I know my child's an angel now But my heart is aching so. I'm sorry I wasn't ready, Lord, To let my baby go. There wasn't time for one last hug; There was no final kiss. Oh God, it's all those special smiles That I already miss. So Lord, could you do just one thing For me especially? Please hold my angel close to You And say goodbye for me. Amen

From birth Destiny held keys to everyone ’ s heart.
