It's been one year since you left us. You were born in Long Beach, Calif., lived for a while in Ojai, Calif., came to Temecula for the four short years you had left. Here you struggled to graduate from high school, but you stuck to it and finished.

You found some terrific friends in Jerrod, Josh, Daniel and a special person, Amy. Your mom, Rhonda, brother Andrew, grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins miss you.

There is a hole in our lives because of your passing. You did not realize how much you are loved.

Shayna Lee Allen

In loving memory of

Shayna Lee Allen, born August 31, 2000, who went to be with Jesus in Heaven, April 25, 2004.

Mom and Daddy

Christine Evans

We never lose the ones we love,

for even though they're gone,

Within the hearts of those

who care,

Her memory lingers on.

The gift of life, however dear,

Must sometimes pass away,

Yet love and memories remain

External gifts that stay.

Forever in our hearts.

The Girls

Christine Ann Evans

already been a year

since you left us.

Time goes on,

but memories last forever.

You are missed more than words can express.

"A selfless heart, tender and kind,

What a beautiful memory you left behind"

We love you

Lynn, Kelli, Angie, Joshua
