Hey Lijah!!
I was thinking about you today. I was initially sad remembering how you were such a sweet baby boy, wondering what you were doing, but I know you're OK. I know you can't read your guest book yet so hopefully somebody up there is reading it to you. We love you!!!

You don't know me and I don't know you but, as I was reading Saturday's Times Dispatch I came across your precious baby boy's obituary and I had to write something. He was a beautiful child and I will be praying for your comfort and strength in the Lord God Almighty. I don't know why the Lord chose him to come live with him at such a young age but, everything happens for a reason. I will pray for your strength and please try to keep hope and faith in God.

Dear Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear child. I drew his blood and for that brief moment I could since his sweet spirit. I can't stop thinking of him, however I know he is with the Lord. During this very tough time you all must keep his memory alive and live on for him. He's in heaven smiling down and saying "don't be sad for me. The lions and the lambs are playing together up here!"

I am truly sorry for you loss. He was a such a joy. I am going to miss him at the nursery at church. He was my little friend that never wanted to leave his grandma to come to the nursery. But once he was there we had such a good time.

My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. May God bless you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
