On March 14, 2005, Lisa (Dang Lingxin), passed from this life to the next. She had suffered from being born with half a lung, serious heart condition and an enlarged kidney. She suffers no more. The doctors did everything humanly possible to save her life but in the end it was not enough. Lisa was born on July 20, 2004. She lived just under 8 months but during her short life she was greatly loved. It was evident by the multitude of tears that were shed by staff and care givers at her passing.

 

Butterflies delicate,
butterflies blue,
butterflies still
remind me of you.

We are here for a while,
then we are gone,
but not forgotten,
for we will be changed
into something more beautiful.

Like the butterfly,
we do not really die,
but shed only
our outer shell.

 

We then become
even more radiant,
when in our glory,
with Him we shall dwell.

For we are transformed
into new creatures,
in garments of white.
While singing His praises,
we are filled with His Light

Lisa
