These are words spoken by Roberto's brother, Luis at Abby's funeral only three weeks ago....
Abby Rose
Abby's short life with us
reminds me of poetry;
Short and sweet,
Just a few words,
just a few breaths,
but powerful and deeply felt.
And like poetry
Abby is also Memorable!
She will be remembered
in so many hearts
and in so many ways.
Abby is one of my heroes
She is My New Arc Angel:
The name Abby, short for Abigail
comes from the Hebrew word
for Father,
Abba.
Abby in Hebrew means Father's joy!
And our Heavenly Father
surely rejoices in her,
his tiny and tender
little rosebud.
Abby is also Roberto's joy.
A piece of Heaven on earth!
Roberto,
Kim is right in calling you a Rock!
And like St Joseph you quietly stand
Mirror of Patience
& Pillar of your beautiful Family!
And Abby is that tender
and little rosebud
which bloomed mysteriously
in between your rock
and Aimee's garden-
It reminds me of a poem written by Helen Steiner-Rice
Which I would like to share with you
Titled
The Tiny Rosebud God Picked
to Bloom in Heaven
The Master Gardener
from heaven above
Planted a seed
in the garden of love,
And from it there grew
a rosebud small
That never had time
to open at all.
For God in His perfect
and all-wise way
Chose this rose
for His heavenly bouquet,
And great was the joy
of this tiny rose
To be the one our Father chose
to leave earth's garden
For one on high
where roses bloom always
And never die.
So, while you can't see
your precious rose bloom,
You know the great Gardener
from the upper room
Is watching and tending
this wee rose with care,
Tenderly touching
each petal so fair.
So think of your darling with angels above,
Secured and contented and surrounded by love,
And remember God blessed
and enriched your lives, too,
For in dying
your darling brought heaven
closer to you!

And I would add
That in both
Living and dying
Abby brought Heaven
closer to all of us!!!
I thought she had completed her mission
And now I realize that her mission has just begun
And it's still here with us
Abby is still doing her little miracles!!!
