Can you believe our baby girl started first grade today?! It seems like yesterday when we brought her home from the hospital. I wish you could have been there to see the smile on her face. I'm sure you're proud of our little girl - she is everything we dreamed for her to be plus more. I often look at her and it's just like looking at you. I miss you so much Stuart. One day we will meet again.
I love you, always.

Oh Stuart, where do I begin? As days pass, your loss only gets harder. My heart breaks for our sweet Olivia. She is really struggling with your death these days. I don't have all the answers for her but I'm doing the best I can. I ask that you please pray for her.
I love you. I miss you.
Until we meet again...

I'm looking forward to spending the weekend with your family and visiting your resting place in LA. Olivia can't wait to see everyone! It's not the same without you, but I know you're always with us.
Olivia has been asking a lot about you lately. She always wants to see new pictures, ask what your favorites were, etc. It's very bittersweet; we miss you so much.
Love you, miss you.

You would be so proud of Olivia, she is so smart for her age! She looks and acts so much like you, it's so bittersweet. Livvy likes to ask me questions about you, she is very curious about her daddy. I wish you could be here but I promise you will always be very much alive in our hearts.
We are heading to Lafayette in our two weeks to visit our family. Livvy is counting down the days! Catherine and Natalie are huge blessings in our lives; I feel so close to you when I'm around them.
Give our little man a big hug from his momma. I love you both to the moon and back.
Until we meet again,

Olivia and I spent the weekend with some of your family. It's so nice to be around them, I feel so close to you. Going to Lafayette isn't the same without you there, but Catherine, Natalie, Mazie, and the kids make it so enjoyable for Livvy and I.

I miss you more and more with each passing day. Olivia told me a joke that had me in tears from laughing. I KNOW you would've enjoyed it. "How do you wake up Lady Gaga? Poke her face!"
We made an amazing little girl, Stuart. There are so many times I look at her and see you, it's bittersweet. Give our little man a kiss for me; I miss you both so much.
Love you always!

I love you Stuart, I always will.

So many things left unsaid, so many memories to cherish, I find myself forgetting for a millisecond that you are gone and then a big dose of reality slaps me in the face!

I cant sleep, just thinking bout all of our memories we had together. I go and visit you next to your grandpa often. I remember the first time i met u, ever since we have ben 6 years old you have never ben out of my life for more then a few months at a time. Its hard to believe that its going to be longer then that befor i can share a laugh with you or just see your face. Im so sorry i broke our promise , but i will always love you..

I can't get you out of my mind today after seeing your handsome face in my dreams last night. You're so loved Stuart, and missed by so many.
Love Always.
April 23, 2013
The moment that you left my heart split in two. One side filled with tears, the other went with you. I often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep. and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, for I do it every day. But missing you is a heartache that never goes away. Life has gone on without you - but it will never be the same. Please forgive a silent tear - a sincere wish that you were still here. I love you baby. Aunt Catherine

Stuart,
I still can't wrap my head around this, I can't believe you're really gone. We had some wonderful times together in our five years, I'll never forget the memories we made. You have a personality that is one of a kind, I've never met a funnier person in my whole life and I probably never will.
I ask that you please pray for us Stuart. Today, we lay you to rest with our little man on his three year angelversary. This will be extremely hard, but our family has been through a lot, we're going to be okay. Please send your guidance and peace, we need it now more then ever. I promise to always take care of our Livvy to the best of my ability. Give Jeremy a kiss from his Momma.
Love you, always & forever

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
