God blesses us each with so many things And sometimes that blessing is a child. He chooses a special angel, picked just for you And loans them to you for awhile.
From the time they arrive They hold your heart in their hands And add countless precious moments to your life And each night we bow down and ask the good Lord above To protect them and keep them from strife.
For this oh so precious gift, God doesn't ask a large fee. “Just love and care for them, and teach them of Me”. So we do what we can, We work hard and we pray And watch them blossom and grow With each passing day.
Not one of us knows how long they'll be here Or when God will call for his loan, And take that special angel, picked just for you Back to his glorious home.
But he made us a promise and I have no doubt, He will carry you through this great sorrow. Because when it's your time, she'll be first to greet you And you'll be blessed with an eternity of tomorrows.
In Loving Memory of Kloe Angel Barkley Our “Precious Loan”
Loving a Grandchild Loving a grandchild is like none other. It’s not quite the same as being a mother. You love your children, each one is unique, But the love of a grandchild, will sweep you off your feet. They look up at you, with their cute little grins, touching your heart deep within. They’re sweet little angels sent from up above, and they warm your heart with unconditional love.

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly,in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Sweetest Angel / Denise (Brandy's friend )
Anyone can see the in these pictures, that little smile could light up the room. She had too short of time in this world, but makes you believe that life is eternal, because she has touched so many people's hearts forever. It is truly amazing how she taught us to love EVERYDAY! Everyday, for what we have, what we are blessed with, to love one another. In the pictures, you can see the light in her eyes. She was an angel before she was born, will always be an angel in the hearts that knew her, & will continue to be an angel for all those that she touched. She taught us to appreciate even the littlest of things. She will be missed always & remembered. Close

Mommy please don't cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
Please do not try to question God, don't think He is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you and that he changed His mind.
You see, I am special and I'm needed up above.
I'm the special child you gave Him, the product of your love.

Kloe is a Child of God.... taken home not prematurely.... but just in time. Her Father was calling her name, and she took the walk that we will all take someday. It is sad to see such a young life be taken from the world so soon, but the plans of the Lord are infinite, perfect, and complete. This child was "made for a purpose" to live in HIS presence forever. We await Heaven in patience to see her again... where time and pain are not factors... and joy and peace are everlasting words.

To a forward I got from a girlfriend.....one of those that I kind of just scrolled down through, hoping she would have left me a personal note.
I have no idea why I clicked on your link, but I am so glad that I did. What a BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL! What love I see pouring out of my monitor this morning by peeking in on your family. Thank You!
My daughter, Molly Kate, has Trisomy 21...and through meeting the families of her peers, we have walked down this same path too many times. I'm in southern Missouri, but originally from Nebraska....so felt a connection to you in that way, too!
I found this tribute that you might like...
"God's Heavenly Garden"
Sometimes God picks the flower that is still in full bloom; sometimes the rosebud's chosen that we feel He's picked too soon.
Sometimes the flower is fading with petals floating down, but God knows the perfect time to gather flowers from the ground.
There is a heavenly garden in which God takes great pleasure, because He's placed within it, the loved ones that we treasure.
He walks among the blossoms giving them eternal rest, and I know that it must please Him because He chose my very best.

Kloe Angel Barkley must leave / Walt &. Sylvia Barkley (Grandparents)
WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU
When I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same, Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you And hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!

Kloe Angel Barkley is One Of God's Little Rose Buds / Grandma And Grandpa Barkley (Grandparents)
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, we mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love. For no heartache compares with the death of one small child, who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his folds, so He picks a Rose Bud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but a few, to make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, still we must try, the saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye". So when a little child departs, we who are left behind, must realize God loves children and beautiful Angels are hard to find.(Author Not Known)
Kloe, we really miss you, Little Rose Bud, and love you very, very much Close

Miss you Kloe Angel / Walt And Sylvia Barkley (Grand Parents )
Lord God, source and destiny of our lives, in Your loving providence You gave us Kloe Angel Barkley in 2005, to grow in wisdom, age, and grace. Now in 2006, You have called her to Yourself. We grieve over the loss of one so young and struggle to understand Your purpose. Draw her to Yourself and give her full stature in Christ. May she stand with all the angels and saints, who know Your love and praise Your saving will. Amen.
I am told to keep moving forward but it is so hard without you by my side, For 14 months everything I did was based around you. If it was too hot outside for you we stayed inside. Sissy woul play with you. If it was too cold we would stay home. Sissy would read to you. So it is hard that these last few months you have not been here. I do not know what to do, my heart aches more and more everyday for you and Sissy cries for you too. We love you and miss you so much Baby Girl!!
Please, please let us feel your warmth and love shine down on us!Close
