Sweet little Avery: I know the battle you fought and I know the courage you exhibited. I also know the joy and happiness you brought to every person you met. My heart aches for those you left; your mommy and daddy will draw on the love and strength you brought into their lives as they forever carry you in their hearts. I want to thank you for the awareness you continue to bring to SMA and for your effort to be one of our last SMA angels. Please look up my granddaughter, Margaret Emma Zayas (February 13, 2000-July 12, 2000). Maggie will want to thank you too. AND, she'll want to tell you all about her sisters.
With love to you, Maggie and all the small angels.
Great Kate

My heart goes out to Michael and Laura and their respected families. No parents should outlive their children. Avery was truly a angel. She may of been here for a short time, She changed the lives of the country. People loved her , that did not know or even meet her. I pray that the family is given time to grieve the passing of their precious angel Avery.

Hi Avery, my name is Adrienne. I can't begin to tell you how deeply sadden I have been since I began following your blog. I dont think I can cry anymore for you have touched SO many lives.. I have 3 children and ...... I just dont know what I would do..... The day before I learned about what happened, I wanted to send you a pocket angel that was a healing angel.. I just knew that she would keep you safe.... I have tried so hard to comprehend what you alone went through and your mommy and daddy... I know you are in better hands but it was just so soon... That smile you have is just UNFORGETTABLE and my heart HURTS for you and your mommy and daddy.. My babies even were going to send a note with you and let you know that if you ever came to Chicago where we are from, to send us a text and we could go on a baby night out and let you see how beautiful Chicago is but I know you are seeing it now and the view you have doesnt get any better!! May your little soul rest in peace for now and forever.. XOXOXO

Dearesr Avery's family,

I am not going to say i know what it is like or I feel your pain, because I cannot feel those things. Each experience is unique. I know , because i lost a Grandson at 5 months to SMA. He would have been 7 this past December. I wondered for the longest time why all of this happened and he was taken from us so young, but have some peace about it now. I am sure just as you had doctors and was able to get some publiclity about it(and I hope for lots more) we had a doctor fly in from Switzerland for our little one and they did a bunch os genetic workups. Hopegfully from our tragedy it allowed your Avery to be with us a litlle longer and maybe Avery can do the same for someone and on and on until there is a real handle on it. I know at this time what I am saying may not mean much to you now, but I do believe within every tragedy there is a reason. Every butterfly I see reminds me of our Tyler and I am sure you will see Avery in unique places also, just give it time. Do not forget her smile and how she smiled through it all. You were sent a message from her about smiling through the tough times. I am sorry I could not make it to the funeral and graveside. It was just too hard. Death has hit our family in another way recently. Please know as I pray for my Guardian Angel Tyler I will also pray for your Avery. I know they will watch over us both. Tyler's Grammy

Dearest Avery,
Everyone can learn from the beauty, grace and innocence you maintained throughout your illness. Smiling despite the obvious frustration you must have felt, slowly losing your ability to move your arms and legs... You've done so much despite the terrible hand you were dealt and I will never forget you and your mommy and daddy in my prayers. May God's love and happy memories of you ease the pain they are feeling in your tremendous loss.

My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. In Avery's short and beautiful life, she has taught us to never take one day out of our lives for granted.

My son is now six years old and had four heart procedures at Texas Children's Hospital.

We spent the first 21 months of his life there.

For the last five years, we have taken roses for every mother at Texas Childrens and beyond.

This year, we will do it in honor of precious Avery!

To the Canahuati Family: My deepest sympathies to you all. Thank you for sharing Avery's story with us. She touched many hearts. She was blessed to have parents who loved her so much. May your memories of Avery comfort you now and in the days ahead. God Bless you.

Daddy please don't look so sad, Mommy please don't cry.
Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus, and he sings me lullabies.
Please try not to question God, don't think he is unkind.
Don't think he sent me to you and then changed his mind.
You see I'm a special child, I am needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, a product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, so watch the sky at night.
Look for the brightest star and know that's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a gentle breeze from a gentle wind that blows.
Know that it's me planting a kiss upon your nose.
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a tug,
Don't be sad Daddy and Mommy, that's just me giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy don't look so sad and Mommy please don't cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies!

Mother of a son named Avery

May 4, 2012

I will lend you, for a little time,
A child of mine, He said.
For you to love the while she lives,
And mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for Me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And should her stay be brief.
You'll have her lovely memories,
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over,
In search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love,
Nor think the labour vain.
Nor hate me when I come
To take her home again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done!'
For all the joys Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her,
Much sooner than we've planned.
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.

God Bless this family and baby Avery, she is truly an Angel! I read her story online last week and seen video, and was sadden to learn she passed away 2 days later. My heart breaks for you, as i could only imagine what you are going thru. Thanks for sharing your story, it is truly an inspiration to everyone, especially those that are unaware of this condition. I just loved her trip to the baseball game and the pictures captions. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that Avery has blessed so many people and lived a full life in the time you shared with her.God bless you!!!

My heart hurts for you and your family. Although, you will ache for the warmth of Avery's touch, to hear the chorus of her voice, and see her beautiful smile; I hope you can find some comfort in the knowing that now she is free of the constraints of her little SMA body... And if you listen carefully, you will be able to hear the patter of her tiny feet in the clouds. Your beautiful baby girl will be in your hearts and the hearts of millions forever. Thank you for sharing your story to raise SMA awareness. God Bless...

This Angel doesnt even know it but she will be a angel for ever. Though she is in Heaven, she will be on earth in spirit helping all the other children with their illness. God bless the parents of this Baby. My prayers are with you. Please keep the bucklet list going.

My heart is so heavy for you. I pray that God gives you strength and peace in the upcoming months. I prayed for Avery everyday, all day long. She was blessed beyond measure having parents who loved her so hard.

To the Canahuati family: My heart felt sympathy to you all. Thanks for sharing "angel" Avery's story. My heart was touched deeply when I read her story. Always keep the fond memories of "angel" Avery close to your hearts and may God continue to bless each of you as the days ahead come and go.
