Desiree was a Junior at West Greene High School and had a smile that lit up the whole school, as
everyone would agree. She was born on July 23, 1992... and her Daddy and I was and still are very
proud of her, and she will always be remembered for her smiling face and respect for others.
Desiree loved baseball and participated in it for five years although she couldn't really hit all
the time she had the arm to throw and really loved the sport... her favorite phrase when she missed
was "Hey, I tried" and that she did... which shows even more about the girl she was, fun loving and
carefree. Desiree also loved Four Wheeling and horses' and loved riding them both equally... for
dirt and mud was her. She was most def. a country girl at heart. Desiree never asked for much, for
it didn't take much at all to make her happy, but the one thing she asked for every night was a
"cruise" with Daddy... and of course Daddy ALWAYS did too... we live in the country so a cruise
didn't consist of just going around the block, it consisted of ALOT of Dirt roads and lots of
miles...but Daddy loved it for it gave them time alone to talk and listen to the radio... although
her music and Daddy's wasn't the same. She always looked forward to that special time.
Desiree Loved people of all ages and very much respected people of age... she loved hearing stories
of "back when" and would always listen and ask questions. She could sit in a roomful of of boring
adults or play with a roomful of kids.... either way she was happy doing both.
On Oct. 1, 2008 Desiree got a ride home from school instead of riding the bus... for as we know,
riding the bus when your in High School just isn't the "cool" thing to do, but she decided to get
the ride instead. While coming home from school the driver lost control of the car and Desiree was
taken from us.... A friend once said that Desiree had the brightest smile that the school had ever
seen and this loss has effected the kids tremendously... As parents, well NO parent should ever go
thru this, but as kids they don't understand what it is to lose on of their own, but I can proudly
say that Desiree has left behind some caring and thoughtful friends who has given us strength beyond
belief. We still have kids on the weekends who talk and listen and cry with us... they truly are
Angels here on earth keeping their Angel in Heaven alive in everyones memory.
Our loss was so very devasting for our world revolved around Desiree, she was our only child, and
our life was her. When we lost Desiree we lost our lives also. As many others on here we would give
our own lives for just five more min. with her.
Desiree was truly wonderful and happy ... she wasn't perfect but as close to perfect as a girl could
get. We didn't have the typical teenage problems most parents had and considered ourselves very
lucky for that. Desiree could, in my words, get sassy sometimes, but all kids try. The only
difference is that she would appologize for doing so. She loved life and living life to the fullest
and no matter where we was if there was someone she loved in the room she would say "I Love You" and
give hugs, it didn't matter who saw or heard her she was proud and caring of others.
Our lives will never be the same for as all of you know who have lost a child, you only exist now.
Desiree will always be missed and very much loved by all who knew her.... For her smile and love
will live on forever.
We Love You Desiree....... Mommy and Daddy.... Forever
Gone But Not Forgotten
You were so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree,
Life loved you being a part of it,
And I loved you being a part of me.
You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day,
No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.
Nothing could every stop you,
Or even make you fall,
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.
But God decided he needed you,
So from this world you left,
But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.
Your seat is now empty,
And it's hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.
You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye,
And I can't seem to stop,
Asking the question why?
Nothing will ever be the same,
The halls are empty without your laughter,
But I know you're in Heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.
I didn't see this coming,
It hit me by surprise,
And when you left this world,
A small part of me died.
Your smile could brighten anyone's day,
No matter what they were going through,
And I know every day for the rest of my life,
I'll be missing you.
I love you Desiree Chantel. You’re my guardian Angel.
They said
They said we shouldn't cry,
but I did last night.
They said not to be sad,
but I am right now.
They said it wouldn't hurt,
but it does deep inside.
They say we shouldn't question God,
but I'm wondering why....
They say she's in a better place,
but I wish she was still here.
They said to go on and enjoy life,
but now it's my own death I fear.
They say we're living in our last times,
and worst times,
but hers was too near.
They said not to think about it,
but I do, and I shed a tear.
They said joy will come in the morning,
yet my weeping still endures through the night.
They said God just needed another angel,
they just might be right.
They say never say goodbye,
because that means it's the end.
Well, then I'll say see ya later Baby Girl,
until we meet again.

ღ♥♥ღ
A hole with no bottom
A hill with no top
A road with no bend
A night with no end.
ღ♥♥ღ
It's as if it's not happened
It's as if it's not true
It's as if it's a dream
Yet a numbness seeps through.
ღ♥♥ღ
There's a feeling of emptiness
A gap to be filled
There's a feeling of loneliness
That cannot be stilled.
ღ♥♥ღ
They say time's a healer
How long will it take?
I can't see it ending
It's a permanent ache.
ღ♥♥ღ
Life as no meaning
Yet it as to go on
I find it so hard
I feel so alone.
ღ♥♥ღ
No one will ever know
The depth of my sorrow
I just have to trust
There'll be a better tomorrow.
ღ♥♥ღ
May god give me strength
To keep on going
To get through this pain
To feel real again.
ღ♥♥ღ
I'll never get over it
Of that i am sure
But i'll give time a chance
And hope for a cure.
ღ♥♥ღ
Time's without end
Love is too
I'll never forget you
I'll always love you .
ღ♥♥ღ
love Jude.x

Where did he come from?
Hey Sweetie...We Love You...but you know that, huh? Daddy went to see you late last night and got a visitor before he left. Daddy says he goes right to you and no where else, must be your new friend. The roads were bad and Daddy didn't know which way to leave, because of the hills, and your friend led him to the right road...only after he went halfway down one and then came back and led him another way. We know this is you giving us a "sign", it has to be, nothing else would get our attention like this. We found comfort for a while, Thank You Sweetie. We Love You and Miss You so very much.
I miss you Dezzi-Poo
Desiree, it has been just so hard without you. school is no longer the same. i dont hear laughter amongst the halls of west greene like we used to. i remember us talking about graduation and how you said that you wanted to always stay in touch with each other. i remember you wanting me to come to your house and visit for a few hours. i just wish i would have so much sooner. you were a true friend to me desiree, and you still are. you touched me in so many ways that i cant even explain. life just isnt the same. and you will always be remembered in our hearts and our lives. i miss you so much desiree. i wish you were here. i love you. sweet dreams beautiful angel
Hey Sweetie...just wanted to tell you how much we Love and Miss You. Why does everyone say it will get easier with time? It doesn't. It gets worse. We can't help but think we did something so wrong that God took you away from us. We can't think of anything. I was telling Daddy that I talked to you the day of the accident...usually you would have asked if I would come get you, but that day you didn't. I almost pushed redial and asked if you wanted me to but I didn't, now I have to live with that the rest of my life. If only I had you would still be with us. I hate myself for that. Why didn't you ask me? You ALWAYS did. ALWAYS. I want a second chance So Bad, I pray for that. We would give our lives for just one more hour.... just ten more minutes. Just one more chance to protect you. We need you Desiree, nobody understands just how much. We Love You So very much, Love Daddy and Mommy

Sweet Angel...
Sweet Angel... How we miss you -- we just can't put into words. It hurts SO BAD. Did you see the bus KC left for you? He misses you very much also and I told him how much you loved him -- I made him cry and I was trying so hard to be strong, I'm sorry Honey...I'm sorry KC.
Daddy talked to Frank a little while ago and I think it did them both some good. Daddy always seem a little better after talking to him and I think it helps Frank too. Don't say anything, but I think they worry about Daddy and I, but who am I kidding, you already know. We know you and Chris are having such a wonderful time together and he is watching you just as he did here. Thank You Chris...Give her a hug and kiss from us.
Daddy and I love you soooooo very much and miss you even more. Watch over us and keep us strong Sweet Angel.
Love Daddy and Mommy
Dear Desiree, It was always such a joy to see you and your mother pull up to the park to spend some time with your Daddy at lunch time. You always showed how devoted and how much you love your parents. And it showed how they love you just by the look on their faces. It was so exciting to see you the day you passed your driving test. Your were so excited. I wish you could have been able to come to my house for that picnic I promised you and your parents.(I would of had to of had a lot of meat and potatoes since that is all your dad likes) LOL! Give my grandparents a KISS AND HUG for me! Your friend Linda.
