A Kiss For Mommy from Braiden
 
MY LITTLE ANGEL
You've just walked on ahead of me
And I've got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I'm missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you've just walked on ahead of me
Don't worry I'll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.
For Andye's 4th Rebirthday!!!

In Memory of
 Adrianne M. Findley
Adrianne M. Findley
Adrianne M. Findley was born in Ft. Worth,Texas
to Deborah A Northcutt Findley and Richard A. Findley {deceased} and died in Williamstown, Kentucky on a very cold and dark December night. She leaves behind a 10 day old son who will never get to know his Mother and remember her as she lived.
Not a day goes by, that I don't think about Adrianne, for you see I am her Mother. I was with her that cold and dark December night, but I didn't get to say Good-Bye to Andye, for I was unconconcious and in a coma for 6 days. When I
woke up from my coma, she was already buried. So now, I want to tell you all about her, so that she
will be forever loved in writing this memorial for her.

"IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN" IS THE SONG THAT
I WOULD HAVE WANTED PLAYED AT ANDYE'S FUNERAL SERVICE IF I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE. I WAS IN A COMA AT THE TIME OF HER FUNERAL. I NEVER GOT TO SAY "GOOD-BYE" OR GIVE HER ONE "LAST KISS".
THIS WEB-SITE IS MY LAST KISS TO ANDYE!!!
 
"IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN"
BY REBA MCENTIRE
 
IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN
IT WAS THE LAST WALK IN THE RAIN.
I'D KEEP YOU OUT FOR HOURS IN THE STORM.
I WOULD HOLD YOUR HAND
LIKE A LIFE LINE TO MY HEART
UNDERNEATH THE THUNDER WE'D BE WARM
IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN
IT WAS OUR LAST WALK IN THE RAIN.
IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN
I'D NEVER HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN
I'D MEMORIZE EACH THING YOU EVER SAID
AND ON THOSE LONELY NIGHTS
I COULD THINK OF THEM ONCE MORE
KEEP YOUR WORDS ALIVE INSIDE MY HEAD
IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN
I'D NEVER HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN
YOU WERE THE TREASURE IN MY HAND
YOU WERE THE ONE WHO ALWAYS
STOOD BESIDE ME
SO UNAWARE I FOOLISHLY BELIEVED
THAT YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE
BUT THEN THERE CAME A DAY
AND I TURNED MY HEAD AND
YOU SLIPPED AWAY
IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN
IT WAS MY LAST NIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
I'D PRAY A MIRACLE WOULD STOP THE DAWN
AND WHEN YOU'D SMILE AT ME
I WOULD LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW
MY LOVE FOR YOU GOES ON AND ON
IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN
IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN
THE LOVE I WOULD'VE SHOWN
IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN

GRIEVING MOTHER APPRECIATES COMMUNITY SUPPORT
To the Editor,
On Dec. 14, 2002, at 10:13 P.M., the lives of my family changed forever. There was an automobile accident on Ky 36 and my Daughter, Adrianne M. Findley, was injured and died at the scene of the accident. Thanks to the people of this county, such as the firefighters of Williamstown Fire Department, the paramedics, Grant County Sherrif's Deputy Mike Garvey and Kentucky State Trooper Chad Mills who were with Adrianne and held her hand as she died on the scene. I "Thank You" from the bottom
of my heart.
The people of Williamstown and Dry Ridge assisted in the burial of my daughter, Adrianne. I thank Williamstown Baptist Church, Oak Ridge Baptist Church, Grace Baptist Church and their people for their prayers and support during this crisis. I also want to thank Brother Mike Beasley and family for their support and his funeral message. Also, thanks to the patrons of Shoney's Restaurant, Shanghai buffet,
Grant County Middle School and everyone
who gave donations to the Adrianne M. Findley Memorial Funds and to Elliston-Stanley Funeral Home for the cost of the burial of Adrianne M. Findley.
I would also like to thank the people of this county like Donna Smith, Ina Marshall, Linda Moore Murphey, Rene Ecklar, Janelle Sanzenbacker, Lynda Mann, Jackie and Mark Chance, Brother Joe Hall, Sharon Thornberry, Danielle Hardyman, Lawson Northcutt, Pam and Paul Smith, Debbie Nickell and all of Adrianne's friends for
their help, support and a shoulder to cry on. I Thank You and my family also Thanks you.
And, last but not least, would like to thank Jamie Baker-Nantz, editor of the Grant County News for remembering Adrianne from that accident at the Grant County Fair, 5 1/2 years ago. She wrote a really nice artical in the newspaper.
My daughter was buried by the generous people of Grant County, while I slept in a coma at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. That is why I am writing this letter to you and to all Grant Countians. I owe a
big hug to Deputy Mike Garvey and Trooper Chad Mills.
Thank you very much,
Deborah A. Northcutt
Dry Ridge, Kentucky
 
 
The Day My Heart Broke
The day that my heart broke was 14 December, 2002. It was a very cold Saturday. My Daughter, Andye called me that morning and told me that her 10 day old Son, Braiden's naval cord had fallen off and she wanted me to come over and show her how to set up the baby's bathtub and how to bath him properly. After we finished bathing Braiden, we went to Wal-mart and bought some more paint
and supplies to finish her apartment. Afterwards, we went back to my house and met up with my husband, who had just gotten off work. We had a late lunch and she nursed the baby. After lunch, we loaded up her car. For the life of me, I can not remember why we all went in her car. Why did we take her "car" and not mine? I don't guess I will ever remember why we took her car and not mine. Maybe things might have been a lot different if we had taken my car, but I guess we will never know.
Andye, Braiden, my husband and I got to the basement apartment around 4:00pm that afternoon. Braiden was real fussy and wouldn't settle down to sleep, so Andye had to stay upstairs with him. My husband and I finished all of the work downstairs. We got done about 8:30pm that evening. The basement apartment was all done and ready for Andye to start moving in the next day. My husband was tired and
in a foul mood, because he had been up since 4:30AM. He was also angry, because she didn't help us finish all of the work! Andye was hurting real bad, because her body was producing more milk than the baby could consume. So, I was going to show her how to milk herself and freeze the milk for later use when we got back to my house. We loaded up her car with all of the cleaning equipment. We got in the
car. This is the last thing that I can seem to remember of that night!The rest of that week is what I have learned from everyone else.
We were going down Highway 36, just south of Williamstown. It was about 9:15pm at night. Andye was driving the speed limit. She must have hit a patch of Black ice and slid off of the road. She tried, but she could not get her car back onto the road, because the road and the shoulder were way too different in height. Where she
went off of the road, the road was 8 inches difference to the shoulder. Andye panicked! Before she knew it, she ran out of shoulder and went down the hill and slammed into some trees. We must have hit hard, because the impact slammed me into the side window, which shattered, and it broke my seat belt and I ended up in the floorboard behind the seats. I was unconscious! My Husband was the first one out of the vehicle that night. He was walking around worrying about himself! Andye was pinned in the car by the steering wheel. It had been pushed forward in the impact. There were several cars behind us, and they stopped to help us. They got a crying Braiden out of the car and was holding him when the ambulance arrived. Andye saved my life that night! The ambulance crew looked in the car and only saw her. They didn't see me, because I was in a heap on the floor of the car. To them, I was just a rolled up coat! She pointed it out to the ambulance crew that I was there and needed help! The fire department had to cut off the roof of her car to get us out of the car. After
they got Andye out of the car, they laid her down, while they got me out of the car. By this time, a Sheriff’s Deputy was holding Andye's hand. The Sheriff’s Deputy knew Andye, because his best friend was Andye's best friend's Dad. He was holding her hand and praying with her as sh
