I find it so very hard to believe That you have gone and I must grieve; I  call out your name -- you answer not, And I look for you in every familiar  spot. Everything seems so strange and surreal, I ask everyday is it a  dream or real? I miss all the little ways you showed you cared, For there were so many good  moments we shared; Looking back on my life’s assorted scenes, I realized  you taught me what love truly means; You were my trusted confidante and best  friend, On whose loving support I could always depend. I look at your smiling face in all my photos; Memories flood my mind as I  touch the mementos From the happy times you and I have had, But now these  bring tears and make me sad; For the time together went by in a wink, Life  was not as long as we’d like to think. Sometimes memories bring comfort  and make me smile, But there are times when grief takes over for a  while; Friends offer gentle words and prayers to console, And tell me what  has happened to your loving soul; Can it be true what they say of time  healing grief? Is it enough when they say death has given you relief? Although I cry and stand grief-stricken by your grave, I promise not to  forget the loving memories you gave; But still I miss you so very much my  sister dear.


Love you very much ann

A poem - Don't grieve for me now

I've followed the path God laid for me,

I took his hand when I heard him call,

I turned and left it all.

I could not stay another day to laugh,

to love,

or play.

God wanted me now He set me free.

I still remember her first steps.First day at school.She always come running up to me giving hugs and kisses,Ann loved to draw pictures, singing and dancing threw the house telling everyone "I love you." I will miss those times with her. Eating icecream after school,making her favotite food  together, making cookies. She wanted to follow in the footsteps of her sister when she grow up.Watching her favorite tv shows together.Always asking "Can I help you with something?" with a big smile on her face. Ann was kindhearted to everyone only saw the good in people, playing games with her brother, brushing my hair and put bribbons in, painting her sister, love to read stories to everyone, and talking on the phone.

i will miss and love you Ann

I remember going to my dad's house and Ann came up next to me and I looked at her and asked "What?" because I seen paints in her hands. She asked to paint my face and I told her that I don't know if they are safe for my face. So I let her paint down my arms and legs, I was her human canvas to draw on. I gave her eyeliner to draw on my leg and she always had great drawings with a story to them. We went to nascar races with my dad and brother and she picked a car to follow. She was always asking what place that car was in and cheer them on. She loved posing for pictures with me. I can be taking pics of my dog or nature and she would ask to take pictures. I was always willing to take pics with her. We would draw together, and I would teach her to draw some things, then she would show daddy. She would help around the house when we had to clean, so mom would come home to a clean house. She would randomly say "I love you" and hug you. I will miss those hugs alot.She would try to pick me up and give me big bear hugs. I know she is safe with God and smiling down on us. She doesn't want us to cry, for one day she will greet us at Heaven's gates with a big smile and arms open wide.

I LOVE YOU ANN! ♥

Ann -I really miss you darlin

Don't worry dad - I'llbe alright
I wish i was were in your arms, lyin' right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
So turn out the light and close your eyes"
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shinin' down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'til the end
Can you feel the love that we shared?
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there
 

(lyrics changed from "i'm all ready there" by Lonestar)

I remember for a while last year babysitting Ann and her big brother Alan. I would get up every wedsnday morning and go to Richard's house at 4:30 am to watch them so he could leave for work. By 5 am Alan and Ann would be awake. Alan would be begging to play the xbox 360 and Ann would come lay next to me on the couch til she was fully awake. As soon as she was awake I would start to get her dressed in between dressing she wanted to bring me everyone of her favorite stuffed animals and tell me stories about them and I remember every one of them had a name. I looked forward to both Ann and Alan's smiling faces. Those are two of the most well behaved kids I know.. I have lived next to Richard and have been friends with him for the last six years. I have watched Ann grow up since she was three I always smiled when I saw her outside playing I will most definitely miss those moments of innocence with Ann. When Ann left us she took a piece of my heart with her. A piece I will gladly give up in her honor I love you Ann Marie Harbin. I won't ever say good bye to you only see later. As I hope to see you standing at gods gates with your beautiful smile waiting for me so we may yet again have our play time. Rest peacefully baby girl!!

I remember the way she used to play restaurant. She has a sign saying "Ann's Restasant". She would go around getting everyone’s order and then pass out her food. She would give me money and credit cards so i would have money for her restaurant. She also love to play card games with me, we would play Go Fish for hours
