Within our life a gift from God Who had a certain glow Knowing that her love was there For all the life we'll know   Her gentle ways and happiness That shined within our space Now memories of all we share Are treasures in our wake   We speak to God and ask Him why This evil does exist No answer comes to soothe our heart The darkness does persist   Our hearts are sad our spirit lost What is this grief we share If only for a second glance We pray that she is near   Among the flowers in a field With Angels all around Smiling with a majesty Her kingdom now allows   For Destiny now lives with us In every waking day Showing us the path to take To make us find our way   The tears we cry all gathered now In heaven's misty glow Where all the love in life we need She sends us all below Remembering each day she gave With all her special grace The world is hers on angel's wings In God's own special place.   ~ Francine Pucillo ~ ©Copyright July 2006

Destiny Norton, a five year old girl  from Utah was taken from her home

and murdered by a 20 year old neighbor Craig Gregerson and on July 24

Gregerson was charged with kidnapping, and murder.

He lured the child into his home when he noticed her playing in

her backyard. Once she entered the house she wanted to leave but

Gregerson  placed his hand over her mouth and suffocated her until

she went limp and died. He then took Destiny's body into the basement and violated

her in the worst way. They found her body concealed in a storage container.

The aggravating circumstances in the murder charge come from the kidnapping

of this child and desecrating her body.

She was missing for days before the police actually located her. Gregerson

admitted to the crime  after talking with detectives.

Once again, a little girl who lost her life to the sick and evil perpetrators in life who

take control in the most vicious way because they surely have power over a child.

Our hearts go out to the family of little Destiny. How sad a realization

that only a few doors away your child is the victim of a sick and vicious

act of evil.

Each day we ask what can we do to save our precious gift's in life, what

can we do to make sure that this will not happen again. Sadly it continues.

Life is taken and evil prevails.

We know that Destiny's name shall live on forever in the hearts of all those

who loved her and will miss her with every breath of their life.

May God watch over them and let them feel the spirit and love of this

precious little girl, who was a treasure of love on this earth.

Thank you

Francine
