The Eckert family,
I am very sorry for your loss, i hope that the love in your family stays strong through these trying times. i know you took your boys fishing, so i send you a Fisherman's prayer
God grant that i may live
To fish until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray,
When in the lord's safe landing net,
I'm peacefully asleep,
That in his mercy i be judged,
Big enough to keep.

Although, i don't know the family, it is very sad and grieving to read about the tragedy of little Gavin. He is now an angel, one of the cutest angels in heaven. God knows best and farther along you will understand why he was taken away so soon. May your hearts be comforted, even tho' it is very, very hard loosing a child. Rest in peace angel ( Gavin), rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus.

I told my children about Gavin. My five year old daughter prayed to God that he hugs Gavin tight and tells him it will be okay. She was very touched by this because she has a 3 year old brother as well. It reminded us that life is such a precious gift and the little things are what count. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Obviously he has touched many and maybe that was his gift to the world!!

Dear Kristin, Andy, Ethan and Ryan,
Our hearts are heavy from thinking about this difficult time you are going through. We can't begin to know your sorrow, but we will pray for you to have all of the strength you need until beautiful memories of Gavin will begin to comfort you. We miss Gavin terribly and will always remember him fondly. His energy, his laugh, his smile, his silliness, and his kind heart will always be with us. Anarosa fondly remembers playing dinosaurs with Gavin, how much he enjoyed her lifting him up and spinning him around, and how much she loved watching Kathy feed him when he was a baby. She also said, "Migdalia and me liked to play with Gavin a lot and we had a lot of fun with Gavin playing hide and seek, tag, and playing on the swings." Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
Love,
Liz, Anarosa and Migdalia Braun

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.
Eckert family, I found that poem and having kids of my own I thought it might give you some peace later on. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this horrific time. Though we have never met, I am a resident of Muskego and mother and cannot ever imagine the pain you are going through. Hope the prayer helps in some way.
