I want you to know that even though I am not there physically, I am there with you in spirit,thoughts, and prayers. May God be with you and your family tomorrow and the days ahead which are going to be very hard. Love, Rita Lewis

God sent an angel to the earth...
The sweetest angel too
and for such a tiny little thing,
he had so much to do.
He knew he did not have
much time upon this earth to stay,
so he did not waste a second;
he got started right away.
His eyes were bright and sparkly,
he took in every turn.
He did not miss a single thing,
because Jayden came to learn!
God sent him here to touch the
hearts of those he could not reach...
He taught them courage, strength and faith,
because Jayden came to teach.
His tiny little body
was so full of God above,
you felt it when you touched him,
because Jayden came to love.
In two short months he managed
what many never will.
When he went home to Jesus,
his purpose was fulfilled.
He learned and taught, loved and fought,
he learned his lessons well.
I know the Lord was so proud of him,
when he went home to dwell.
But when Your missing Jayden OH-SO-MUCH,
You can almost hear him say,
please understand, his work was done...
Jayden did not come to stay.
