Jamile Johnay Your wings were ready but our hearts were not "Butterflies appear, when angels are near" Spread your wings and fly my beautiful butterfly Your life has touched us all. Your wings so very delicate But your spirit conquers all. You gave us so much joy on earth But God now reclaims his prize Spread your wings take to the skies We will miss you dearly, but your Transition is complete. Your wings are now an angel's Back home you must retreat. Butterflies are often considered beautiful representations of the various stages of life. From a humble beginning in their caterpillar stage to their dramatic transformation into a butterfly, these creatures demonstrate that pain, adversity or simple change can make life even more beautiful than before. Many cultures equate the butterfly with the endurance and hope of the human soul. We release the black butterflies as a symbol of Change, transition, freedom and rebirth Fly High baby girl, spread your wings out beautiful black butterfly fly high. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: There are those whose lives death cannot diminish there love radiates forever in the hearts of family and friends. We felt that love and your thoughtfulness and wish to express out sincerest appreciation for all of your prayers, visits, phone calls, text messages and all other acts of kindness during this difficult time.
