The Yates Children:
Feb. 26, 1994 – Noah Yates,
Dec. 12, 1995 - John Yates,
Sept. 13, 1997 - Paul Yates,
Feb. 15, 1999 - Luke Yates,
and on Nov. 30, 2000 - Mary Yates.
The Tragic End:
In March of 2000, Andrea, on Rusty's urging, became pregnant and stopped taking Haldol. On
November 30, 2000, Mary was born. Andrea was coping but on March 12, her father died and immediately
her mental state digressed. She stopped talking, refused liquids, mutilated herself, and would not
feed Mary. She also frantically read the Bible.
By the end of March Andrea returned to a different hospital. Her psychiatrist, Dr. Mohammed Saeed,
treated her briefly with Haldol but discontinued it, saying that she did not did not seem psychotic.
Andrea was released only to return again in May. She was released in 10 days and in her last
follow-up visit with Saeed, she was told to think positive thoughts and to see a psychologist.
Two days later, Rusty left for work and before his mother arrived to help, Andrea began to put into
action the thoughts that had consumed her for two years.
Andrea filled the tub with water and beginning with Paul, she systematically drowned the three
youngest boys, then placed them on her bed and covered them. Mary was left floating in the tub. The
last child alive was the first born, seven-year-old Noah. He asked his mother what was wrong with
Mary, then turned and ran away. Andrea caught up with him and as he screamed, she dragged him and
forced him into the tub next to Mary's floating body. He fought desperately, coming up for air
twice, but Andrea held him down until he was dead. Leaving Noah in the tub, she brought Mary to the
bed and laid her in the arms of her brothers.
During Andrea's confession she explained her actions by saying that she wasn't a good
mother and that the children were "not developing correctly" and she needed to be
punished.
Her controversial trial lasted three weeks. The jury found Andrea guilty of capital murder, but
rather then recommending the death penalty, they voted for life in prison. At the age of 77, in the
year 2041, Andrea will be eligible for parole.
May these precious Innocent children Rest in Peace.

What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.
SWEET DREAMS IN HEAVEN

It's night time again...
Beautiful Angels above
So tonight I will send you lots of love
Cuddle up warm..
On this November night
We all love and miss you..
With all of our might
You sleep on the clouds..
All fluffy and white
I bet you look..
Such a beautiful sight
Just snuggle up..
All cosy with God above
And watch me light..
Your candle with love

For those who suffer,
and those who cry this night,
give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes
where they experience peace,
not of man
but of angels.
Love them, Lord,
when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord,
when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers
and give them the ability to hear You back
in whatever language they best understand.
You are all now safe together. Forever in our hearts xxx
Child Gone Home
Children's voices fill the air,
Life and laughter ring,
Across the hills of Heaven
Small, sweet voices sing
.
Gone to be with Jesus,
Each little girl and boy,
Now run and play as never before,
In the land of eternal joy.
Never to know another tear,
Or face another pain;
What was senseless loss on earth
Has now become Heaven's gain.
While Heaven is much sweeter,
In your heart you'll not be alone;
God filled it with memories of laughter and love,
Of that child who has now gone home.
~~ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS~~

NIGHT NIGHT AND GOD BLESS ,SLEEP SAFELY WITH THE ANGELS.xxx
~~~For All Our Little Angels~~~
For all our little angels
Gone before they've grown
No one knows the reason why
The angels called you home
I've asked the Lord a million times
Why this should have to be
The angels whispered softly
One day you will see
That doesn't help us now
We're feeling sad and low
We need to understand
Why it is you had to go
But I know we will never get
An answer to this plea
Until we are together
In heaven for eternity
So many of us miss you
So many of us grieve
So many hearts are broken
Because you had to leave
Be happy our little angels
Remember each of us with love
Until one by one we meet again
With you in heaven above.

The touch of His hand will let me know
He takes me in and lets me go
If not for love, who would believe?
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in you and me
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
Close enough to heaven
Far above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels
To understand, yet never say
How every plan would fade away
If not for love, where would we be?
Ashes to dust, water to rust, eternally
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
Close enough to heaven
Far above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels
Given wings to fly
Leave the night behind us
Trust the light to find us
Even as we rise
We're lifted up by angels
We're close enough to heaven
Far above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels.

God's Heavenly Garden
Sometimes God picks the flower that is in full bloom:
sometimes the rosebud's chosen that we
feel He's picked too soon.
Sometimes the flower is fading with petals
floating down, but God knows the perfect time
to gather flowers from the ground.
There is a heavenly garden in which God takes
great pleasure because He's placed within it the
loved ones that we treasure.
He walks among the blossoms giving them eternal
rest, and I know that it must please Him because
He chose the very best.
