Hassell-Bazoge, Kimberly Ann (Memoriam) KIMBERLY ANN-HASSELL-BAZOGE 7/5/1961 - 6/28/1999 6th Anniversary with the Angels Six years have passed like it's been a day. The pain inside I believe will never fade away. Our little man is now half the size of me and when I look into his eyes its you plain to see. He's a happy little boy and always at his best the only thing he needed was his mother in the nest. We both still miss you dearly our lives just aren't the same we get by day to day dealing with the strain. I still dream of you at night the way it used to be and love to feel your presence at the side of me. Then a new day comes and you fade away and I hope to see you in my dreams another day. All of our hopes and dreams faded away with you and I must make a new ones to last my life through. If all my hopes and wishes would ever come true I would trade them all in just to have you. I never will forget you I will love you to the end for when God took you he took my true best friend. And when I tend our grave I do it with such care because you see the biggest piece of my heart is also buried there. Forever Young, Always in our Thoughts, and in our Hearts Forevermore!
