Isa Forever
Memorial Service
Tuesday, August 17, 2010
i've been starting to feel like we are the only ones still thinking of isa. i know that is not true, and that loneliness is part of the grieving, but that is why we want to hear other people's thoughts and memories of her (or even dreams, if she visits you that way!). no matter how short or irrelevant you think it might be, we would love to hear about it. thank you. z&b.

I think of her daily too-- Her little ways of being... of observing so much, taking it all in. You are not alone.
There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not thinking of Isa. Her picture is my desktop background on my computer. I still can't believe her physical form is gone. When I did the Deeksha course, Isa came through to me. At first, I was really struggling with the process that the trainer was taking us through, so I talked to someone about how angry I was that she was taken too soon. Once I cried it out, I had a clear vision of her little smiling face. She definitely came to me and helped me to get over my anger in that moment. You guys are not alone.
Hi friends,
Isa is still on my mind daily as well! As are you and your lovely family. I am wishing you peace and clarity on your journey back to the "normal" way of life, what ever that will be like. Love to you always. And, Zanna, please please please always feel free to call me, even if you feel like you just want to tell someone about your sadness, or happiness, or anything. I am here for you sista! (Babou, this goes for you too...)
love to you,
J
I finally understand why Sasha said when we told her what happened to Isa "that she won't have anyone to play with, she would never have another friend". I understand now that even today she will never have another friend like Isa. Sasha can make new friends at school or where ever but none will be an every day friend like Isa. I want you to know that there isn't a day that goes by that we aren't talking about your family. I know it is hard for your family because it is still really hard for ours. I also what you to know that there are a lot of days I believe in my heart that Isa is with Sasha.
Oh, Suzanna - I've not been able to call you because every time I try, I fall apart. We became friends through our children...I talked with you and my daughter played with Isatou every Wednesday for months. It may not be a lot of time, but I just cannot accept that she is gone. I am so sorry that I am such a coward...please believe me when I say that she is in my thoughts always, as are you. Your loss has deeply affected me and Charley. Isatou is such a beautiful spirit...I've known that since the day I met her. I wish you the numbness and peace that comes with acceptance, thought I cannot say that I would ever accept it myself. I simply do not know what to say...other than I promise you that she will never, EVER be forgotten.
Z,B, and O.
Love and support to you from Texas. You have so many prayers coming to you from my family and friends here, in Colorado, on the west coast. All have been sending love to you all and dear Isa. I am blessed to have known the little angel. The few times I spent time with her, I was struck by her unique, lively, strong spirit. I know that she too was blessed, having been born into such a loving family. Let me know if you need me. I will be up there as soon as I can. erin
I remember more a story about Omar when he came to play last spring. Just as I was going to take him home, Charlie offered him a snack and he asked if he could have one for his baby sister. It struck me how close they are and what a great big brother to be thinking of her even when at a friend's house. I wish I had known Isa better. All my love.
