Tatum Elizabeth Ashcraft was born on Friday November 19th in Springfield,MO to her parents Lawrence
and Stephanie Ashcraft. Shortly after birth the doctors discovered multiple heart defects. Despite
her numerous procedures Tatum was a happy child. Always laughing and running. She was especially
proud when her baby brother came home. Even though she was not yet 3 she helped take care of him.
Tatum enjoyed going to Bass Pro to see the fishies and turtles. Tatum passed after complications
from her 3rd surgery. May she rest in eternal peace and not have the pain that this world bears.

A Special Angel

A Special Angel


There's a special angel in heaven
That is a part of us
It is not where we wanted her
But where God wanted her to be

She was here but just a moment
Like a night time shooting star
And though she is in heaven
She isn't very far

SHe touched the heart of many
Like only and angel can do
We would've held her more often
If the end we only knew

So I send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of our angel
And send her all our love

Mother's Song
I've lost my baby daughter,
Though not misplaced.
I feel she's somewhere
Bound by neither time nor space.
Perhaps she sits before the Throne
With radiant face.
She could be dancing happily
Like little girls do
With golden taps beneath
Each precious little shoe.
I know she must love music,
So I'm sure it's true.
I'm grateful that in Heaven
She is healthy and strong
And that she's lulled to sleep each night
By Heaven's song,
But I wish I could hold her;
Is that terribly wrong?
I sang so often to her
While she was with me
And I will go on listening
For her harmony.
How sweet to know
I'll hear it In eternity.

Stephanie Ashcraft (Mommy) March 18, 2009

She was so very, very special
And was so from the start
You held her in your arms
But mainly in your heart


And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall,
Her life did ripples make
And touched the lives of all.


She's gone to play with angels
In heaven up above
So keep your special memories
And treasure. them with love


Although your darling daughter
Was with you just a while
She'll live on in your heart
With a sweet remembered smile

“A mother held her child and

very slowly rocked her back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth.

And while she held her, she sang:

I will love you forever,

I’ll like you for always,

As long as I’m living

My bug you’ll be.”

Stephanie Ashcraft (Mommy) March 8, 2009

YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE...
MY ONLY SUNSHINE...
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW BUG HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU...
YOU BROUGHT ME JOY WHILE YOU WERE ON THIS EARTH...
I WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO...

Please Don't Cry

by:Dawn Glenton

Please don't sit round my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
What makes you think that I would leave?
I'm with you mum, so please don't grieve.
Our bond on earth was much too strong,
Our love will carry on and on...
I'm with you as you go to bed,
I plant sweet kisses on your head.
I'm in the wind, the rain, the snow,
I'm with you everywhere you go.
Please don't cry mummy, can't you see?
I'm safe my spirit soars, I'm free.

GOODNIGHT DARLING

The Lord came to me like a dream one
day and asked, "why do you sorrow?"
I answered, "Lord my life is so full of
pain, I can't face one more tomorrow."
The Lord sat down beside me, and
gently took my hand. He said, "Let me
explain to you and then you'll understand.
Each sorrow is a stepping stone
you must surmount each day,
And every stepping stone you climb
is a sorrow that's passed away.
The road of life is a mountainside,
with crevices in which to be caught,
But as you struggle on your way,
I the Rock, will lend support.
Every stepping stone you climb,
makes spirit and heart grow strong.
Exercising character and faith
this road seems painful and long.
The way is paved with stepping stones,
to uplift your heart and soul,
Though difficult they aid your way,
to a City paved with gold.
I know that you are tired,
for I too have walked this way,
My sorrows did they multiply,
but I cleared many stones away.
I left my rock to lift you up,
I left behind my story.
To give you strength to make your climb,
to that special place in glory.
And never fear, the Rock is here,
You'll never climb this mountain alone
Surmount life's sorrows, continue on,
For they are but stepping stones.
And you'll live on through me.
I'll build a fortress by the sea
where earth can touch the sky!
Where sunlight dances on the leaves
and dreams can never die.
Where peace becomes a promise
and truth man's greatest cause.
I'll stand today, I'll show the way,
and live for those I loved.

SLEEP TIGHT, LOVE JUDE.X
