Kaden Mallery

Kaden Matthew Mallery, 5 years old of Belleville, Ill., born May 5, 2006, in Belleville, Ill., died Wednesday, July 20, 2011, at his residence.

Kaden was a loving son and brother. He was full of life and enjoyed spending time outdoors riding his bike or playing with his brothers. Kaden was dearly loved and will be truly missed, but his spirit will live on forever in our hearts. Kaden's life was short but the foot print he left on earth was large. His smile would light up the room. Kaden is now heavens newest angel. Kaden loved to dance and go fishing.

Kaden was the best little buddy a man could have.

Kaden was preceded in death by his grandparents, Richard and Joan Morris Jr., and Tom and Kathy Schieffer.

Surviving are his mother, Melissa, nee Morris (Thomas) Stuart; father, Joseph Mallery; brothers, Tyler Betts and Corey Owens; grandparents, Tony and Theresa Mallery; step-grandparents, Diane and Quentin Lauer; great-grandparents, Richard and Joan Morris Sr., and John and Alice Seeley; aunts and uncles, Richard and Crissy Morris, Matt and Beth Morris, Andrew Mallery, Casey and Edy Mallery, Clint Mallery, and Michael Schieffer; step-uncles, Brian (Rhiana) Stuart; Jason (Sara) Stuart, Justin Stuart and Matt Lauer; beloved friend, Mark Schnider; and many great-aunts and uncles, cousins, step-cousins, and other relatives and friends.

There are no tears in Heaven

Only bright and joyful days

Tears of yesterday are gone

God wiped them all away.

No memory of pain lives here

Heartaches never come

Storm clouds never visit

Each day is bathed in sun.

Though time to part has come to pass

Please lay aside all sadness

One day we'll walk together

In this joyful place of gladness.

Kaden, my heart is broken...I miss you so much baby.... I just want to wake up from this horrible, horrible dream I seem to be having. I just want to see you again and hug you and kiss on you again. Our lives have just come to a halt while everyone else keeps moving around us all we do is think of you every minute of the day. I just want to see your cute dimples and mischievous smile again. I'm glad there are so many of our loved ones to meet you up there and take care of you until we get to see you again. I'll look after your mom, T.J. and your brother until then. We love you so much and miss you Kaden.

Joe and Melissa,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been praying for God to give you strength and comfort. It's okay to get mad at God, He wants to know your true feelings. Remember to ask, believe, and receive His comfort. Unfortunately bad things happen to good people but God can help you through this time of sorrow. Kaden was a cutie. Talk about that little sweetie and keep your memories alive. Nothing can take those away from you.

July 28, 2011

May my thoughts of sympathy help to ease your sorrow.
Only Prayers & time will help.Their is no words to help the

July 25, 2011

Melissa, my heart goes out for you and Joe,Tyler & Mike. You are a strong woman of God and I know this because U have been through so much already. I also know that God doesn't give us anything that HE knows that We can't handle. And I ask that God give U a break even though HE has made U strong! I have known Tyler since he was in diapers and although he has turned into a strong young man he will need you,Joe and Mike to be there for him as well.
Remember Tyler that it was Gods plan to take Kaden home to heaven. And although, we don't understand it now when we meet in heaven one day everything will be understood then. Gods in charge so we need to love and keep close the people we love everyday now ..for we never know what Gods plan is and when he will take his children home,like Kaden.
Rest in Peace Kaden, sweet boy!
And prayers will be with this family now & always!

Kathy & family

July 25, 2011

Words can not express the sorrow and heart ache that you & your family are overwelhmed with.I was friends with Melissa's mom, Kathy when she worked at the hospital she was my best friend. Not only will God give you strength and comfort if you allow him to. But knowing that Kaden is in heaven with Gma Kathy & Gpa Tom and lots of Bailey & Tripp family members he is loved everywhere! You have your memories of your precious baby boy, but Tyler needs you's as well, too..so be strong and believe God for all your needs! And know that God never leaves you! You & your family are in our thoughts and prayers, now and always!

I had the honor of being Kaden's student teacher at Franklin this year. He was such a sweet child, always polite and never had to be corrected. He touched a lot of hearts, including mine.

Melissa, even though I had never met Kaden, I saw him through your eyes, your voice, and your pictures on facebook. He was a handsome young man with a beautiful smile. He was very happy in every picture. I know how much you loved him and so did he. I pray that God will give you and Tyler the strength to get through this. "When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure that lasts forever." Kaden was treasured and will live forever in the hearts of all who loved him.

Kaden was my cousin, and I saw him a lot. He lived right down the road from me. I babysat both him and Tyler a lot, and he was always so good, and sweet. He was one of the kindest and most energetic kids you could ever meet,and he always left a smile on your face.It hit me hard when I found out what happened to him, and I hoped it was just a bad dream. It's going to be hard for all us to go without seeing him, and his smile. I wish I could have seen him one last time, and I regret this happening. I love you Kaden, and I miss you so much... I hope you're happy in heaven, and I know you're now watching over your family. I always think about you buddy. You knew how to brighten someone's day, and how to make me laugh. You always found new ways to have fun, no matter what. I love you more than you could ever know Kaden...

ANGELA Hayes

July 22, 2011

As you go through heartache and sorrow, it's on your mind what will happen tomorrow.

Don't worry about tomorrow, live for today.
Remember God above will surely make a way.

God gave you Kaden for a little while, to put joy in your heart and to make you smile.

Kaden was surrounded with plenty of love, He went home to HEAVEN on the wings of a dove.

Just keep him close and never part because little Kaden will always be in you heart.

You have our deepest sympathy.

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.
