An angel in the book of life wrote down this baby's birth,
Then whispered as she closed the book,
"Too beautiful for Earth" --Unknown

I'm just a precious little one who didn't make it there.
I went straight to be with Jesus but I'm waiting for you here.
Many dwelling here where I live, waited years to enter in, struggled through a world of sorrow, a world marred with pain, and sin.
Thank you for the life you gave me, it was brief, but don't complain.
I have all the heavens glory, suffered none of Earths great pain.
Thank you for the name you gave me. I'd love to bring it fame.
But if I'd lingered in earths shadows I would have suffered just the same.
So sweet family, don't you sorrow. Wipe those tears and chase the gloom.
I went straight to Jesus' arms from my loving mothers' womb…. author unknown
**Burial site was originally in Russell Creek Cemetery, Oklahoma, which is located up the road North from his/my paternal grandparents, James/Minnie Stephens homeplace. My dear little brother Bucky moved headstone/remains in the summer of 2018 to Oak Hill Cemetery, Chetopa, Kansas to be with rest of our family. Love and thank you, Bucky *** Betty
