Eleven years ago, you blessed us with your presence into this world. To this day, we feel this terrible loss. Your parents continue to keep you in our hearts and minds. Mass was celebrated in your memory. Family gathered together. Even your siblings who never met you talk about you. You are a special angel to us. Please know that we love you, we miss you, and we know you are blessing us from above.

My heart hurts when I think of you. Daddy and Mommy, as always, have a Mass said for you. This year, because of the pandemic, Papa and I did not attend. We watched the Mass on-line, but it was not the same. We went to visit you and celebrate you at your resting place. You have a wonderful family who honors you every year. Even your brothers and sister who have never met you know that they have a brother in heaven. Papa and I love you so much. Watch over us from heaven. Love, Grandma

Nine years. My first thought this morning was of you (as it is many days - but especially today). Papa and I miss you and love you. Your family celebrates your life today, and your brothers and sisters will always know about you. Your dad and mom keep your memory alive. I know that you are the angel watching over your family. I love you, sweetheart.

Happy Birthday in heaven, my dear George. Thank you for being our guardian angel. You would have been 8 today, and that hurts my heart. And still... it was a miracle that we were able to meet you. Daddy, Mommy, and Angie remember you. Carmino, Andre, and Cassandra will always know that they have a brother in heaven. Papa and I love you and miss you.

Happy Birthday celebration! I can't believe it has been seven years. You are loved and missed, even by your little siblings that did not get to meet you. I hope you enjoyed seeing them celebrate your birthday. Keep us in your prayers.
Love,

I never got to meet you, but your Mom was my best friend in college, and she's told me about you, and how much she loves you. It may sound strange, as we've never met, but my children know all about you, and what a special angel you are. I know we will all meet as we kneel before our Lord Jesus one day. Many blessings.

Happy Birthday celebration! We love and miss you very much! I hope you got a kick out of the little pumpkin your siblings picked out! Their love for you warms my heart. Thank you for your prayers.

I know you are watching over us, blessing us, and seeing Angie, Carmino and Andre and the wonderful and joyful children they are. I miss you, honey. Please know that none of us will ever forget you and the valiant effort you made to meet us. I love you and miss you. Love, Grandma and Papa

Georgie,
Happy birthday, my love! We love and miss you so much. Thank you for coming to us. Every time I hear your sister mention you, it fills my heart with joy. You are not forgotten and forever in our hearts. I look forward to your little brother learning more about you and reaching out to you in prayer. Pray for me as I take my 3rd degree on your birthday; that I may better be a reflection of His love and have a steadfast dedication to His Church.
