Emma Handt Obituary

Emma Lucille's life was brief but in that short time she brought so much happiness to those who loved her best. Jessica and Eric are the kind of parents every little girl should be lucky enough to have. My prayer for you is that when you think of her, the memory of the love she brought into your home and the love she received will someday outweigh the pain of her loss. Love to you all, from Emma's aunt Tonia and uncle Dale

I heard about your loss from my mother (Denise Hogan) this morning and although you don't know me, I just wanted to give you my condolences. I know there isn't anything I can say to take the pain away, but wanted to let you know I was aware of your circumstance and will be praying for you.

Erick Jessica and Mitchel



I am so sorry for your loss. May you have comfort in knowing that Emma is in the loving arms of Jesus. and she will watch over you all the days of your lives.She was such a beautiful little girl.

All of our heartfelt sympathy is with your

Love Aaron and Liela

Dear Eric, Jessica and Mitchell,

I remember holding Emma when I would stop by to see her aunt Lisa and Jessie and the kids were there. What a sweetheart little Emma was to hold and cuddle. The pure love that shone from her eyes was so special. The love in her mom's and aunt's eyes for Emma was deep and precious-they loved her so much. I cannot express how sad I am for you all at this time. You are in our family's thoughts and prayers. Your darling Emma is close by in spirit and I know one day you will all be together again-families are forever.

Eric and Jessica you were such wonderful parents to Nemmes (Emma). You loved her dearly as she did you. Mitchell you were the best brother anyone could ever have. We had her for 2 wonderful years and she made us realize again how great love can be. She is truly an angel now.

To the Handt family: I am so sorry for your loss of little Emma. I sit behind you in church sometimes and I remember thinking what a cute and beautiful little girl you had. I asked you her name and you told me it was Emma. I will pray for all of you and just want you to know that my family is thinking of you and that no words can express my sympathy for you all.

Mary and Tom Jacques family.

I have no words to say, no little "cliches" that will help it to make sense. I won't tell you that she is in a better place because I am sure the place whe was in here was wonderful. I will not tell you that everything happens for a reason, because there is no reason good enough to justify never being able to hold Emma or give her kisses, tickle her and hear her laugh, snuggling with her at bedtime. The hurt is so strong you will wonder if you will be able to make it to the next minute. Know that you are not alone in your grief or your pain and that Emma will have many many playmates in heaven, including my 2 children. I will keep you in my thoughts.

A Child Of Mine



I will lend you, for a little time,

A Child of Mine.

For you to love the while she lives,

and mourn for when she's gone.



For one day or many years

whatever I decide to be….

Will you, till I call her back,

take care of her for me?



She'll bring her charms to gladden you,

and should her stay be brief,

you'll have her lovely memories,

as solace for your grief.



I cannot promise she will stay,

since all from earth return.

But there are lessons taught down there

I want this child to learn.



I've looked the wide world over,

in search for teachers true.

And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes,

I have selected you.



Now will you give her all your love,

and not think the labor vain?

Nor hate me when I come,

to take her home again?



I fancied that I heard you say,

Dear Lord thy will be done…

For all the joy the child shall bring,

the risk of grief we'll run.



We'll shelter her with tenderness;

we'll love her while we may.

And for the happiness we've known,

we’ll forever grateful stay.



And should the Angels call for her,

much sooner than we've planned,

we'll brave the bitter grief that comes,

and try to understand.





I am just a stranger...from afar...but I know your hearts are shattered by the loss of your beloved and beautiful daughter. God has selected you to bear this cross and your precious Emma to fulfill his devine plan. You are so special and so worthy of the awe of strangers. I'm so sorry for your unbearable pain. I hope you take comfort in that you and yours are Chosen and that the rest of us are learning the immeasurable from your loss. May God bless you and keep you...and hold you in the palm of his hand. Your cross is oh so heavy...my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jessica, Eric and Mitchell,

Words can not express the sadness I feel for you and your family. My heart just broke when I heard the news of the loss of Emma, and what a beautiful little princess, now she is God's princess. Sorry about your loss, I wish I could fix all your pain just remember God has a reason for everything.

I have a 1 year old daughter and know that I held her extra tight and extra long last night as I said a prayer for you. I am sorry for your loss and please know that you are in many many peoples thought and prayers. God Bless you and hold you.

What a beautiful daughter, I am so very sorry for your loss...may God grant you peace.

Jessie, Eric & Mitch,

Both Peter and I are very sorry for your loss. Emma was so precious. She was an angel in life, and now she's your little guardian angel. We love you.

To Eric and his family,

I know it has been years since we have seen each other, but I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Emma looked like a precious little angel. It breaks my heart to see little ones get taken so early. I just want you to know that your whole family is in my prayers. She will be your gardian angel for life!

Sincerely,

I never met Emma or knew anyone in the family.I saw it in the paper and her picture melted my heart.What a little doll.I have a Grandson who will be 2 in December and i can't imagine loosing him.Emma is wrapped in God's loving arms forever.God Bless you Emma.May you find strenght and support from the Lord in this very sad time.

We may be strangers in life, but we're family in suffering. There are no words I know of that can take the pain away, but do know that a stranger in life will add you to her prayers for family. Our little angels will be happy together, and when you feel that brush of air across your hair when there is no wind, that's your little angel patting you on the head and telling you that she is in Heaven and not to worry.

God's Littlest Spirit



"You're a Special Little Spirit,"

the great Master said,

As he gently caressed the curly brown hair

of the Little Spirit's head.



"You need to go to Earth

to spend some time, you know,

A place I send most Spirits

to help them learn to grow."



The Little Spirit, in sadness,

slowly bowed her curly head,

And from her eye a tear did steal

and down her cheek it slid.



"Don't you fret now little one,

I won't let you stay too long,

I'll bring you back to help me here,

you'll hardly know that you've been gone.



You're my choicest Little Spirit,

you're the apple of my eye."

And He wiped the tear and gently kissed

His Little Spirit good-bye.



"I'm back," Little Spirit whispered,

as she climbed onto her Master's knee,

And the Master said, "I told you,

you would not be long away from me."



And then, the Lord, He noticed

still another tear welled in her eye.

"Why are you so sad, Little Spirit,

whatever should make you cry?"



"I'm glad I'm back," Little Spirit said,

"but Master you must surely know,

When your Angel came to get me,

I didn't want to go.



I know you said you needed me

and that I'd be gone the shortest while,

But Lord, why couldn't I have had

a little longer trial?"



The Master let Little Spirit

slip down from off His knee,

Then took the Little Spirits hand and said,

"Come walk with me."



The Little Spirit and her Lord

walked slowly hand in hand,

As He tried his best to explain to her

His great and marvelous plan.



"Now Lord, I don't mean to argue,

I understand that you needed me home.

But I left in such a hurry,

Now everyone is so alone.



I didn't let my parents

know how much I loved them so.

I was much too small to tell them, Lord,

how will they ever know?



They feel that they've been cheated,

and in a way, so do I.

Not getting to share any more than we did,

how can I tell them why?"



I know your heart is heavy

with this message you need to share.

But you need not worry anymore,

I'll watch over your loved ones there.



I'll send them loving comfort

as a strong and helping hand.

That will give them peace and ease their hearts,

so they will understand.



"I'll tell them that you're pure,

as pure as Heaven's Gold,

And that I needed you very much

to keep Heaven from getting cold."

I check the obits on a daily basis for work, I can never get over the little ones. People say god won't give you more than you can handle. I know how much it hurts me, a perfect stranger to see the losses, I can't begin to understand your feelings. God takes our little ones because they make the best angles. No hatred, no sadness, no worries to bring the white light down. Keep looking up to the stars, and one day you will see her twinkle by...
