Ryan,Kay and Kids:
We are so sad about Gabriel, we loved him very much as we love you guys. We loved his smile and always made you happy by just being around him.
We are so blessed to have had the chance to know him, to laugh with him, hold him, and just be around him. We will miss him but we know that we will see him again if we live the gospel. You guys are a great special family, we learn so much by your example by just being around you. Keep strong and you will see him again.
Remember you can still feel his love around you.
We are blessed with your friendship, we love you guys and count on us, we are here with you.
I would like to finish with this words with my favorite hymn, "A Child's Prayer", read all of it everytime you have a chance.
..." Pray, he is there; speak, he is listening.You are his child; His love now surrounds 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.

Dear Pettit and Bateman families--
My heart goes out to all of you...it pains me to hear that my dear friends from long ago are suffering such a tragic loss. I love you all, and I am forever grateful to you for having been such a positive influence in my life. Ryan and Kay: The scriptures promise us "That same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will be coupled with eternal glory, which glory we do not now enjoy." (D&C 130:2) I know that you will be with your precious son again in the eternities.
The Lord bless you and keep you.

And to the family of this little boy, who must bear the loss of one so young and so precious, know that your Father in Heaven loves you and will heal the wound in your heart, and will give you the strength to go on, and the hope of a reunion in the realms of Eternity with Gabriel again. May God Bless and Sustain you all in this time of mourning is my humble prayer...

Dear Petit Family
We are so sorry for the loss of your little Gabriel. I loved seeing him and our Kenzie play together and I remember the sweet spirit he showed. A dear bishop told my parents when they lost their little baby that they will have the chance to raise him in the millenium, just where they left off. You will too. Please find comfort in that. We love you all, and you are in our prayers.

My friends,
I'm so sorry you had to experience the bitter pill of parting with your beautiful Gabirel. You don't know me, but we are connected. I had to bid farewell to my four year old at Primary Childrens Medical Center too. One year ago my son Wesley was "called home." It's been a very difficult year, but I made it. I want you to know that little by little the sun will shine on you. Little by little you will feel angels around you helping in your healing and little by little, you will feel Gabriel...like an angel himself...envelope you in the arms of his light and love. I promise you will. God bless you as you face this first year without your son's touch. You are ever in my prayers.

Ryan, Kay and Family,
It is so comforting to think of the atonement of the Savior. What we truly have been given. I KNOW that Jesus Christ lives. I am not going to pretend I know what you are going through. However, I found comfort in picturing Grandpa Cookie crouched down with his arms out and Gabriel running into his arms. The happiness in knowing the joy on the other side gives me peace.
To remember this life here on earth, is just a moment in eternity. We love you!!
Grandpa Lynn and Grandma Gail, We love you, and our Father in Heaven loves you too!

I cannot even begin to express how I feel for all of you right now. For a family that took me in without even thinking about it, it must be harder than I can even imagine to let go of one of your own. Thankfully there is the solace of knowing that families like yours will alway be together again, even if it's not right in front of you at this moment. I love all of you, and if there is anything I can ever offer you, please don't hesitate to ask.
My heart and thoughts are with you always-

With God's strength behind you...His love within you...and His arms underneath you...You are more than sufficient for the days ahead
of you.
Trust Him...When dark days assail you.
Trust Him...When your faith is small.
Trust Him...When to simply trust Him, is the hardest thing of all.
Our prayers are with you today and always...

Gabriel was such a happy and beautiful baby. He wanted so much to keep up with his big brothers. He even cried like a boy. He was so quick to catch on to everything, it was easy to forget that he was so young. There is a void in our family..... my heart is torn open, and I am greiving very much the loss of this choice little person. I love you Kay and Ryan. We are all praying for you and want to be there as a support. Stay strong and faithfull. You are both a great example to me. Don't ever forget where he is now, and that you will hold him and love him again one day.
