Dear Christine and John,
I share this verse with you. I hope will bring you comfort.
Each life is indeed a gift,
No matter how fragile, no matter how short.
Each life is indeed a gift,
To be held in our hearts forever.

Dear Chris and John,
There isn't much to say that we haven't already said or continue to say on the phone (sorry about that late phone call, I thought the answering machine would pick up and I could just leave a message). Thank you for the care you both took of me in spite of your own pain while we walked through the days following the 27th. I love you both so much and it was hard to see you hurt so much. You are constantly on my mind and I can't wait until December 6th, even if it means getting back on an airplane.
Love Mom
Patrick honey, I miss you and there will be a hole in my heart that never heals until the day I die. See you when I get there.
Love Yaya

Dearest Christine & John,
I have thought about you every day and wish that I could be by your side. You both have been like parents/siblings to me and have helped guide me over the years. You have been loving, guiding, supportive, nurturing, and have been my cheering section. I love you too so much and know that you two will be great parents. I am sorry that you lost your prescious Patrick and know that he is with you in spirit. I love you both and send my wishes and prayers to you.
Dearest Patrick,
I am sorry that you are not with us, but know that you are with those we love that have gone before you. You're the first great-grandchild of our family and though you were only with us a short time, you were very much loved. I am sorry that we didn't get to meet you, but I am glad that your parents did. Take care of our loved ones and I know that you are with us in spirit. Rest in peace sweet baby...
Love,
Raenell
