Onika Claire Heffler was born on August 17, 2006 at 3:09am, weighing 8 lbs 10 oz. She was 19.75 inches long. She was the most beautiful little angel we had ever seen. In December of 2006, Onika was diagnosed with a glioblastoma brain tumor. This type of tumor has never been seen in a child so young, so she had the odds fighting against her. She under went emergency surgery on December 15th and they removed half of the tumor. After weeks of discussion the Doctors decided the best protocol for Onika was to undergo chemo therapy as they knew they would not be able to remove anymore of the tumor successfully. In January 2007 Onika began chemo therapy. In March she had her first MRI to see if the chemo was working, the first round of chemo did not work and her tumor continued to grow. But if you seen her, you would never know, she was so happy through all of this, always smiling and learning new things. So, we continued with more chemo and she had another MRI in April and it showed that there was no growth, the tumor had stayed the same, so she was to undergo two more rounds of chemo and get another MRI in June. On May 10th she was admitted to start her next round of chemo. Right away she was sick from the chemo. On May 23th she started to become sleepy and she was retaining lots of fluid, so the doctors decided to do her MRI early.On may 25 Onika had her MRI only to show that her tumor was still growing. She was put on oxygen and continued to retain fluid. The doctors told us that more treatment would just make her sick and her tumor would continue to grow as we already tried several different approaches. As Onika slept we prepared for the worse, only to find on May 28th she decided that she was going to wake up. Seeing her wake up was the most overwhelming experience, the doctors were even surprised. Over the next few days her swelling came down and she started eating baby food, we could not keep her full enough, her favorite was bananas!!! We had the best two weeks with her that we could ever ask for, she gave us so many smiles and made us so happy, as if she was telling us everything was going to be ok. On June 23, 2007 Onika passed away and lost her battle, but we must say she fought as hard as she could right to the very end...

Thinking of you at Christmastime
You're in my thoughts today
You've only gone to Heaven
To watch over us each day.

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

All my love Sylvie
A Birthday In Heaven
2005 Written by Kris Smith
I heard you crying yesterday
And felt your heart-sent love
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here)
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me
He told me with a wink
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think)
I’m getting lots of hugs from God
He’s really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat
Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
That make us laugh out loud
There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet…
The magic never ends
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings
We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies
Happy Birthday in Heaven My Child
Happy Birthday in Heaven My Child
~Author:Unknown~
Please help those all around me, to see and understand
That even though my child’s in heaven
The memories of our time together, are always here to stay
You see today is special, after all it’s my child’s birthday
I hope my friends will understand and see how much I care
And better yet can lend an ear, and smile as I share.
I pray they never lose a child or ever know this pain.
I just want them to know, my child’s memories remain
Oh yes today is special, another birthday it should be…
And yes I wish my child was here, but it wasn’t meant to be
I hope the angels sing aloud; I hope my child can see
As we celebrate their life and all their memories…
Love for our child begins so early and never goes away
And I’m grateful for their time on earth, but sad they couldn’t stay
Of course it wasn’t long enough, but how wonderful it was
Their laugh, their smile, but most of all, the gifts they left behind
So I hope that those around, can see beyond my smile
And my Words that, "I'm okay."
And know that yes today is special,
And join along with me
As we celebrate – today – my child’s birthday
Happy Birthday in Heaven My Child…

A FRIEND HUG
☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆*♥*☆
A little hug from me to you,
To make you smile
when you feel blue,
To make you happy
when your sad,
To let you know
life aint so bad.
Now I've given a hug to you,
Somehow I feel much better too
Hugs are better when they're shared
So pass one on to show you care.
Sent with all my love and thanks.
Hope you are well thank you so much
for all you do for me & my Angels
xxxxxxx Sylvie

Losing A Loved One
Although your heart is hurting,
And you feel you can't go on
Know in that very moment
Your loved one wasn't alone
For God was there beside them
Holding onto their hand
As the time drew nearer
For them to leave this land
He held them close and whispered
"My child, your time is now"
"But how will my loved ones go on?"
He whispered, "I will show them how"
"I will give them strength and love"
And comfort in the night,
I will fill their hearts with peace
Knowing you had wings as you took flight
You no longer walk amongst them
For now you fly above
With all my Heavenly angels
Spreading ever lasting and eternal love
SHIRLEY H.BRUNSON

There's a very special place beyond the skies above
somewhere very peaceful that is full of light and Love
That special place is Heaven, where you're free to laugh and roam
it was your time to go there so the angels took you home
And though you're in our thoughts each day throughout the year
at special times like Christmas we all Wish you could be here
Now you're in a better place,your soul is laid to rest
safe with all the Angels for they only take the best.
