Abby- I always wonder what you would be like if you were still here with us. I can still see you smiling and laughing and dancing. I have so many memories with you in them in your short time on earth. I am so thankful that your mom and dad let you come to Arkansas to visit as much as they did. I think of you often. I will always love you!!

Pat & Deanna,
We just wanted ya'll to know that we are thinking of ya'll today. Abby was a precious little girl and she will always be remembered. We think of her every day. She would be spoiled rotten if she were here today.(We would make sure of that.) Just remember that she is in Heaven and she is watching over us and we will see her again someday but until that day we will always have sweet memories of the time we were able to spend with Abby. She will always have a special place in our hearts that noone can replace.
Love ya,
Rob & Jenn
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!!!
WE LOVE YOU,

One year ago today Abby was taken from us. Noone can explain why, yet we still have to ask because we don't understand. All we know is that we have a precious sweet little guardian angel watching over us and we know that she will take care of each of us. Knowing that there is a guardian angel watching us helps keep us going and knowing that there will be a day that we will see Abby again, but for now she has granddaddy spoiling her just the same as he did us. We know that she is happy. Abby will never be forgotten by anyone that had the pleasure of meeting her because she was a delight to be around.
Abby- We love you and we miss you. You are always in our hearts.
Love Always, Uncle Rob and Aunt Jenn

Our little angel,
We can only imagine the little stinker that you would be and can only imagine the grin you are putting on Jesus face. I can only wonder if terrible two's are a little different in Heaven. We all love you so and miss you very much. One day we will all get to see you again ... what a wonderful reunion it will be but until then just keep Jesus on his toes and a smile on his face.

Dear Deanna & Pat,
Today we wanted to say Happy Birthday to Abby. You know that she is having a big birthday party and she probably has cake from head to toe or cheetos if she didn't want a cake. Granddaddy is making sure that she gets everything that she wants. One day we will all be together so we can celebrate her birthday with her, but for now she has granddaddy and she probably has made a lot of friends. She is well taken care of.
We love ya'll both and we want you to know that Abby will never be forgotten. She has touched so many people. We will always love her.
Love Always,
Rob & Jenn

Dear Deanna and Pat
My heart goes out to you both. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Abby was a beautiful little angel here on earth and now she is a beautiful little angel in heaven. I can see her now peeping around the file cabinets in the office and giggling. We were with her grandma Tammy today when she looked at the pictures of her grave site. It was really hard for her and I'm just glad we could be there for her. We all love her. Abby was her heart and our hearts break for you all. But just know that God heals all wounds and he will get you through this.

Deanna and Pat
Never in my life have I witnessed such wonderful parents!! I have told all my friends that the two of you were perfect parents making sure that everything in your life was arranged by what was best for Abby. Even arranging your work schedules as to not leave her more than necessary with others and then when she was left you made sure that the babysitter was one of the best that could be found. I so enjoyed watching the two of you together with her. I loved being a new mom and I know your Uncle David loved being a new father however I do not believe either of us held a candle as to the joy that showed on your face everytime you looked into your baby girls eyes. Also most often its the mother that does most of the caring for the newborn but with you two it was so equally shared I have and most likely will never see a dad that had such a part in his daughters life. Wow, what a lucky little girl to have had so much love. She has the best parents, ones that will keep her with us all by sharing photos and funny memories. I look forward to hearing more funny stories of our little angel. When I told one of my best friends about Abby now being in heaven and how now with her there it will make it easier when other loved ones from our family go on to be with the Lord because we know they will not only be with the Lord but will be there with Abby!! Her reply was touching and so true...she said "Abby brought Heaven closer." I had never looked at it like that but Wow how true that statement is. Thank you both for sharing your little girl with us. Allowing us to get to know her and feel apart of her life through all the wonderful photos you shared. My favorite photo is the one of the two of you at the hospital holding Abby. That photo sums it up. I dont have the photo but if you get a chance please put it on line so others can see the happiness on your face. Thats the happiness I have always seen every time you were around your little one and still see on your face every time you mention her name and tell cute stories about her. She lives in all our hearts and always will. Your lives have left an impression in my heart that will last forever. Love Aunt Shirley

Deanna & Pat-
Thank you so much for sharing Abby with us. She was a joy. I am so proud that we were able to spend as much time with her as we did. We watched her grow through pictures and that made us feel like we were around here even more than we were. Those pictures mean the world to us.
Thank you for chosing us to be Abby's Godparents. You will never know how much that meant to us. We loved that little girl more than anything. Abby will always have a special place in our hearts. Abby is now watching over us and she will always be our Guardian Angel.
We love you both and we will always be here for ya'll.

Deanna and Pat, So many things to say, so many things you don't want to hear right now. Just know that God is with you both at all times and I know my Jason is playing with Abbie right now! Please know that you both can get in touch any time you want or need to. Yes I have lost a child , NO I don't know how you feel, it is different for everyone, but God is the same and he will give you strenght. In Christian Faith, Sandra

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. John and I are good friends of Jen Slusar and Chris McGrath. We lost our baby girl in August of 2004 so we know just what you are going through.

Dearest Deanna and Pat-
All of our worlds came apart upon hearing that our baby was gone. Deanna, it was so hard for us to have to tell your mom (our dear friend and co-worker) that her precious Abby was gone when only days earlier in the office after speaking with you she had so excitedly informed us that "Abby had learned something new and was jumping off the couch". We all love her and will miss her deeply, but take comfort in knowing that she touched us all in her very short time here with us.

I am so very sorry for your loss and I dont know that reading these messages help you, but in some small way I hope that comfort is given to you by knowing people care, and that your whole family is in the thoughts and prayers of many. I was a family friend of the Lahnans from Springfield Pa, and grew up with Larry, Cindy and Cathy. Such a beautiful little angel, and God bless you all.

Deanna & Pat –
I only had the joy of meeting Abby a couple of times, but I will never forget her smiles and laughs. Try to remember the good times. I can’t imagine what you all are going through. Hopefully knowing that you and Abby are in the thoughts and prayers of everyone at the office is of some comfort to you in these trying times.
I’ve told you this before, and I really mean it. If there is ANYTHING I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to call me, anytime, day or night.
God bless you, Abby, Bear, Jan, Larry and Jane (and all the family and friends I didn't get to meet).

I didn't know anyone in this family or Abigail. I'm just a complete stranger that came across this obituary today. I can't imagine losing a child. It has got to be the worst pain to go through. I wish there were words of comfort I could offer you to ease the pain. Please know that my heart and prayers go out to you and may your precious Abigail rest in heavenly peace.
Heaven's Child
I would not like for you to cry
It's just a part of life to die
I know you miss me and you're sad
But dying isn't something bad.
I'm only just beyond your sight
Iv'e gone with Angels to the light
I send to all of you my love
From Heaven's garden up above.
I like it here, I'm having fun
And I am with The Holy One
I am sitting on his knee
With Jesus watching over me.
So many souls I knew before
Were waiting here at Heaven's Door
To welcome me with open arms
And keep me safe and make me warm.
So when you think of me please smile
For I will see you in a while
Trust the Lord, don't ask Him why
He wants me here to paint the sky
With rainbows, clouds and shining lights
To brighten days and warm your nights
Remember what I said before
Please don't cry for me any more.
I am Heaven's Child, you see
I play with Angels surrounding me
I can fly with the speed of thought
To be with you when you think I'm not
So please remember I love you
And I know you love me too
And even now, while we're apart
I'm still right here... I'm in your heart.
Remember there is no deaths, just a change of worlds.
God Bless,
Tracy
