Jessica,
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I know we haven't talked in a long time, but I thought this deserved some reconnection. Hang in there girl and never forget.

Jessica and Chase,
My heart, love and prayers go out to you and your extended family and friends. I won't be able to attend Kaden's funeral, but want you to know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of 20 little second grade friends and their teacher. I've always found comfort during times like this in the words of one of my favorite poems, "Footprints". I'm sure you're familiar with it as well.
May you take comfort in those words in the days and months ahead.
Sincerely,
Ruth Smit

Dear Dave, Becky, Jessica & Justin,

No one can take away the pain that you are feeling right now, but take comfort in knowing that you have a very very special Guardian Angel watching and protecting you and that from this day forward know that he walks beside you, guiding you and one day, when the time has come you will be re-united with your precious Angel.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

A Loving Stranger

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. ~Mary Elizabeth Frye

Although I do not know the family, I wanted to express my deepest sympathies towards the family for the loss of your precious baby. It always breaks my heat to see little ones go. As a mother, I would be devastated just as I know that this family is. Please take comfort that Kaden is now with our Lord and will have eternal happiness.
