Date of death February 21st,1996
Age 2 months 3 days old
Location Poteau Oklahoma
Autum Nichole is the big half sister to Shane Jr
Autum Nichole was killed from a car wreck she suffered a severe head injury she got her wings 33
mins after the wreck.
Autum Nichole Meeks was born Decemeber 18th,1995 at 9:05 pm she weighed 8lbs and 3 ounces she was 21
1/2 inches long. She had the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen and the most sweetest smile. I
didn't have her long but cherish the 2 months 3 days that I did have her. She was my first born
my first daughter she had my heart right from the start and still does. On February 21st of 1996 my
world fell apart my sweet beautiful daughter the love of my life was taken from me Autum was killed
from a car wreck She had a severe head injury and lived for 33 mins after the wreck. That day my
world fell apart and I became incomplete and forever changed. Autum was such a happy baby smiling
and cooing always kicking her little hands and feet. She filled my heart with so much love and
brought so much joy to me. I cherish the memories I have with her and of her. I won't ever
understand why She was taken from me I feel in my heart that God just needed his beautiful angel
back so he took her home. I feel honored and blessed though that he chose me to be her mommy and
gave me the time he did with her. However I feel so cheated I only got 2 months 3 days with her I am
blessed I got to her see her first smile and hear her coo but so much was taken from me her first
words her first steps she did all of those in heaven not with me her mommy I didn't get to see
my little princess grow and do any of the things that little girls do. One thing I won't ever
forget is a nurse said how she truly looked like an angel little did she know she actually held an
angel in her arms. Not a day goes by where I don't think of my Autum where my heart
doesn't hurt and my arms doesn't ache for her. I know though she is always with me and
watching over her little brother she has proved that more then one. I love you baby girl and miss
you so much. Your memory will forever live on through mommy I will never ever allow your memory to
die. You will forever and always be my sweet little turkey butt I love u so much.
This poem was read at my daughters funeral
In Loving Memory Of Autum Nichole
Thank You God...
For pretending not to notice one of your angels was missing, and lending her to us. You must have
known how much we needed her, so you turned your head for a moment and allowed her to slip away to
us.
Sometimes we wonder if you have a special name for her. We call her Autum. Thinking of not having
her with us is unbearable and we don't know what we are going to do without her. She loved us
without reservation, never considering whether we deserved to be loved or not. Naturally and easily
she shared her baby gentleness, her little smiles, her coos and her soft, soft touches.
You gave her hair as soft as the down of an angel's wing, with big blue eyes always showing her
trust,love and contentment, and a smile that could brighten the hearts of stadium full of people.
You gave us the opportunity to experience how wonderul and precious a baby can be. We will never
stop loving her and we thank all the other angels for filling in for her while she was with us. We
know it wasn't easy, because her little shoes cannot be filled.
She has to be your greatest miracle, God and we want to thank you for lending Autum to us. We love
her so much, God, please hold her and love her for us now that she has gone home.
More Poems
Go ahead and mention my child,
The one who died you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further,
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry.
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending she didn't exist.
I'd rather you mention my child,
Knowing that she has been missed.
You asked me how I was doing.
I say "pretty good" or "fine."
But healing is something ongoing.
I feel it will take a lifetime.
Author~Elizabeth Dent
We are connected, My child and I,
by an invisible cord, not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord that connects
us 'til birth
This cord can't be seen by any on Earth.
This cord does its work right from the start.
It binds us together, attatched to my heart.
I know that it's there, though no one can see,
The invisible cord from my child to me.
The strength of this cord is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord man could create,
It withstands the test, can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you are not here with me,
The cord is still there, but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart, I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline, as never before.
I am thankful that God connects us this way,
A mother and child--Death can't take it away!

I'm going to tell you something
I hope you'll never have to know.
I'll tell you how a heart can break
And tears can constant flow.
I lost my baby girl you see,
An angel in my eyes
God chose to take her hand one day
And led her to the skies.
But please do not forget my child
She was a person too
And forever she will live
Inside of me and you.
So, please don't ever tell me
That time will heal my pain
Because not even time
Can bring her back again.
Just tell me she is happy
In that land way up above
She's snuggled in an angels wings
All wrapped in Mommy's love.

"Death of a Child"
Sorry I didn't get to stay.
To laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side.
I'm sorry that I had to die.
God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
Both God and little me.
Mommy, I wish I could stay.
Just like I heard you pray.
But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.
God didn't take me cause' He's mad.
He didn't send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious...don't you see?
Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play
you'll come here too, mommy, someday.
Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you mommy, dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
brings love and a kiss from me.
Author~Sandy Eakle
Mommy please don't be sad,
I miss you so much too.
It's beautiful here,
but I worry a lot about you.
I sleep with angels watching me...
there is only love up here.
I am never lonely or afraid
because God is so very near.
I walk with Jesus every day,
He is very kind and loving.
Don't worry Mom, He hold my hand
when we cross a golden street.
I never cry or hurt myself,
I see Grandpa every day.
I play and laugh and sing a lot
and I hear you when you pray.
Please Mommy, don't be mad at God,
you see He loves me too.
And even though you are not with me,
I am really still with you.

Autum Happy Birthday im sure u have everything u need but your mommy needs you remember to give her your love and angel kisses.
Mama please don't cry~
'Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.'
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't your cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
~~BIRTHDAY'S IN HEAVEN~~
A candle to remember, may it burn ever so bright,
as we look to the Heavens on this very night.
Beyond the stars, our dear Autum soars,
embraced by her Saviour on Heaven's shores.
As the angels protect her and sing her sweet name,
we honor her life with the glow of this flame.
So we light this candle for you, dear Child, on this special night,
as a symbol of our love and your eternal light..

'A Birthday in Heaven'
~Written by Kris Smith
~
I heard you crying yesterday
And felt your heart-sent love
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here)
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me
He told me with a wink
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think)
I’m getting lots of hugs from God
He’s really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat
Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
That make us laugh out loud
There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet…
The magic never ends
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings
We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies!!
~

If tomorrow starts without me
If tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see.
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,
Are filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you loved me,
As much as I love you.
And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
I hope you’ll understand,
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I wish I could have said goodbye,
And kissed and seen you smile,
I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.
But then I had to realise, that this could never be,
Now emptiness, and memories,
Would take the place of me.
But when I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.
He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,
Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”
“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same up here,
There’s no longing for the past”
My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,
Coz I am truly free,
And I will wait for you to come and share my life with me.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx
~*Much love*~
Beautiful Autumn, You have inspired so many , so many years after you have gone to heaven. Your mommy loves you so much. I hope you are the big girl to all of the angels your mommy has made friends with over the years. I LOVE the story or I think it was a x-mas stocking reappearing after you mom thought is was gone forever. Your spirit lives on thru her and all the wonderful things she does for other mommies like her. Keep being a good inspiration and help your mommy now as she is not feeling so good! God Bless you Angel Now and Always!~Angel Aubrey Marie's Mommy
Beautiful Angel
Wow Autum words cannot even describe the pain and sorrow that everyone feels from losing you. Your mother misses you everyday and each year as you get older she hurts worst than the year before. I wish I could have known you but I know you through your mommy. Your mommy and I are always keeping your memory on by teaching your brother everything about you so he knows he has a big sister for an angel. I will always keep my word to you that I will always be there for your mommy and love and take care of her. We all miss and love you. Thank you for leaving the signs that show us you are around, from the stocking that appeared out of NOWHERE, to the statue being moved on shelf, we always know you are with us.
in the arms of the angels
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance.
For a break that will make it okay there's always some reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day .I need some distraction .
Oh beautiful release memories seek from my veins and may be empty oh weightless and maybe I will find some peace tonight in the arms of the angel fly away from here from this star cold hotel room and the endlessness that you feel you are pulled from the racket of your silent reverie your in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here .
So tired of the straight line and every where you turn and there's vultures and theives at your back the storm keeps on twisting keep on building the lies that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference you escape them one last time it is easier to believe then this sweet madness oh there's glory or sadness that brings me to my knees in the arms of the angel fly away from here from this star cold hotel room and the endlessness that you feel you are pulled from the racket of your silent reverie your in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here.
You in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here
God makes little children
He makes them every day
And though He loves them dearly
He gives them all away.
He gives each to an angel
And says take baby down
To such and such a mother
In such and such a town.
Or such and such a cottage
In such and such a place.
He gives the angel with it
A big soul full of grace.
God does so love those children
It's all that He can do
To let the Angel take them
But he loves the mother's too.
And so he says I'll lend you
This little one of mine
The angel folds it's love
About the special gift divine.
The angel watches over
The child both day and night
So glad to see that lovely soul
All shining in God's light
God makes so many children
And every now and then
He seems to want one specially
We don't know why or when
He whispers to its Angel
Bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
That someday we may see
It sees the souls of mothers
And fathers in God's light
Offering him tiny children
Whose souls are shining bright
God does so love those children
Whos souls are never dim
And how he loves those parents
Who give them back to him.
