This website was created with Love for my precious Mother, Nellie Buonpane. She was born in 1925 on Christmas Day in Oakdale LA. She went home to God on March 17 2006 after a long fight with cancer. Momma was such an angel, she loved everyone, and everyone loved her. Though it broke my heart into a million pieces, I had to tell her that it was ok for her to go home. Rest with the Angels Momma, I will love you forever!!
PLEASE VISIT MY MOMMA OVER AT HER NEW SITE!

My Special Angel Momma
She’s always watching over me, I feel her presence near, She’s always here to listen, And guide me through my fears. She’s a very special angel, One God chose just for me, She was my Mom here on earth, But that was not long to be. God called her home one night, And my fear and rage did not see , If He was such a loving God, Why take my Mom from me. But in time I saw the plan, He unveiled for me to see, He had taken my Mom away, But He gave her back to me. There was just one major difference, About this wondrous thing, She had traded in her house-dress, For some snow white angel wings.

IN MEMORY OF NELLIE BUONPANE:
I AM STANDING UPON THE SEASHORE. A SHIP AT MY SIDE SPREADS HER WHITE SAILS TO THE MORNIG BREEZE AND STARTS FOR THE BLUE OCEAN. SHE IS AN OBJECT OF BEAUTY AND STRENGTH. I STAND AND WATCH HER UNTIL AT LENGTH SHE HANGS LIKE A SPECK OF WHITE CLOUD JUST WHERE THE SEA AND SKY COME TO MINGLE WITH EACH OTHER.
THEN SOMEONE AT MY SIDE SAYS, "THERE, SHE IS GONE!"
"GONE WHERE?"
GONE FROM MY SITE. THAT IS ALL. SHE IS JUST AS LARGE IN MAST AND HULL AND SPAR AS SHE WAS WHEN SHE LEFT MY SIDE AND SHE IS JUST AS ABLE TO BEAR THE LOAD OF LIVING FREIGHT TO HER DESTINED PORT.
HER DIMENISHED SIZE IS IN ME, NOT IN HER. AND JUST AT THE MOMENT WHEN SOMEONE AT MY SIDE SAYS: "THERE, SHE IS GONE!" THERE ARE OTHER EYES WATCHING HER COMING, AND OTHER VOICES READY TO TAKE UP THE GLAD SHOUT: "HERE SHE COMES!"
AND THAT IS DYING. A MASTERFUL POEM BY : HENRY VAN DYKE
Goodbye Is Not Forever !
A tender thought and some bittersweet tears As this your final journey here must now begin. Oh how I long to just once more hear your voice Even if it's only in a whisper carried by the wind. It's so very hard for me to turn and walk away, And know the time has come when we must part. But no matter how long it is until I can join you, You know you will always be held in in my heart. Here in this place I must turn and leave you now Though pain fills my heart, I must not look around. Every where I look, I'll see your face in front of me. The love that we shared will in my heart abound. Memories and longing are always in my thoughts. Know that I will miss you and some times I will cry. But I will think of you with love each and every day. Until our spirits touch once again way beyond the sky.
We wait for her next message to come down from the sky. Our angel momma Nellie is always ready and willing to fly. She brings love and wisdom to us each and every day. Brushes us with her wing tips as we kneel down to pray. As we look up toward Jesus with our eyes cast up above Nellie arrives to guide us on gently with her tender love. Nellie soar up to Heaven with your beauty that is so rare. And rest there with Jesus on soft clouds peaceful and fair. Knowing you walk with the angels makes our heart sing. Thank Jesus in Glory for the happiness and love you bring.
2 Years Ago / Margaret
Momma,
I'm sitting here thinking about 2 years ago tonight. You were so sick, and I was in such denial. You were scheduled for a CT scan the next day, so you couldn't have anything after midnight, but I kept sneaking you water, it was our little sec...

Momma,It's December again, and the hurt is stronger than ever. Christmas was always "our" holiday, especially since your birthday is Christmas Day. I can't put into words how much I miss you. To say that my heart is broken is an understatem...

It hurts so much... / Margaret
Momma,It has been 17 months and it's hurting worse than ever. I keep going over everything you went through in my mind. Why didn't I see what was happening?? I do blame the doctor though for giving you so much chemo at the end. You didn't deserve all...

16 Months / Margaret
Wow, it's been 16 months today momma. It hurts just as bad today as it did 16 months ago. I was remembering when you used to cry about grandma, I didn't understand, I would say "Momma, that was so long ago". You told me, "You never get...

A LETTER TO MY FAMILY To my dearest family, some things id like to say, first of all to let you know, i arrived here okay. I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above, Here there's no more tears of sadness, here is just eternal love Please do not be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight Remember that I am with you morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me, he said 'I welcome you' 'Its good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on' 'I need you here so badly, you are apart of my plan there is so much we can do, to help our mortel man' God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight God and I are close to you... in the middle of the night When you think of my life on earth, and all of those loving years Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. Do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you,all what God had planned If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is through More then ever before, I'm so much closer to you There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb But together we can do it, by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too That as you give into the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody, who is in sorrow and pain Then you can say to God at night....'My day was not in vain' And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind And when its time for you to go.... from that body to be free Remember you are not going..... You're coming here to me. Until we are together again love and miss you MOM xxx000
