Beautiful Kaylee,
It has been almost a year since you left this life. It is unbelievable how many lives you have changed and touched, while you were here and since you've gone. I love you and thank you for all you have shown me. And especially for the closeness that I now share with your parents. I will always be there for them. I promise that to you.
You have a piece of my heart with you always.

Dear Ed and Amy,
They say that time heals all wounds,sometimes that's not possible.As time goes by the one constant feeling of loss,sometimes is so unbearable,u wonder how do I continue?But u just do for some reason. The only reason I can think of is Kaylee, keeping the 2 of u together,committed and strong and so that u could go on. I know that there are no words or actions anyone could ever say or do that would ever make this a less difficult time for the 2 of u, but just know that u are always in someone's thoughts and prayers.

Love JoAnn

Amy & Ed,
This past weekend, one year after my Mom's passing, my entire family gathered to celebrate a Mass followed by a quiet brunch in the home of my aunt in PA. At Mass, we were asked to bring the offering of gifts to the altar. The second the priest took these from my hands, I closed my eyes and prayed for my Mom and Kaylee to hold us always in their loving arms. And in the second that followed, I felt them. I hope you are healing.

April 18, 2007

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.

Kaylee's photo with her little blue dog is sitting on my desk, and I think of her each time I look at it. Though it doesn't seem like it right now, time heals all wounds, and you will both move past this rocky road. I miss that little angel!

It feels like yesterday.
I have not stopped thinking about your beautiful little girl for a minute. I have not stopped thinking about you, Amy and Ed. Kaylee's smiling face is next to a picture of Gracie-I put a statue of an angel holding a baby next to them.
My love forever,
Debbie

Russ & Martha Pilgrim

February 7, 2007

Dear Ed and Amy:

Martha and I send our sincere best wishes to you both. We understand that 4 months have past since Kaylee left you, and the conventional wisdom suggests that time will heal your wounds.However, as therapists we know that a loss like yours is profound, and there are no rules about how you work through your grief. Everyone does this painful work in their own way, and in their own time. Our wish for you both is that you accept the support of your friends and family, and accept each other wherever you may be in the process. Sounds simple enough, but as you already know, there is nothing simple or easy, or even logical about what may you think and feel at different times. We also hope that whatever professional and/or support group help you may be getting is helpful in some way. God bless you both.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Lara Puccio

February 7, 2007

Dear Amy and Ed,
We're well into this new year, but I know that for you time is standing still, or moving quite slowly. Please know that despite the days and months, you remain ever present in my prayers. When I look at my niece, just slightly younger than Kaylee, I grasp the magnitude of this tragic loss even more so than usual. Please be strong.

Francine Pilgrim

Although I didn't know Kaylee well she lit up the room at Matthew's birthday party in June. And I've heard she did that everywhere. I think of you often and hope that you will somehow find peace. I'm praying for you especially through the holiday season and can't imagine how much you must miss your beloved Kaylee. Peace be with you now and always!

I'm thinking of you so much this holiday season and it seems impossible to find the right words. I can only share what I know to be true. Your beautiful Kaylee Rose is with her Heavenly Father. Through his faithful grace and mercy he is there for you when you are ready to find peace and hope again...and I pray that you do. We will light our candle this Sunday and always think of your beloved Kaylee.
Love, Karen

Dear Amy and Ed,
Although there are no words I can say to ease your pain, I want you both to know that you are in my thoughts every moment of the day. In all the little things I do, I think of you and of Kaylee and I pray that somehow you are strong. She was such a sweet, smart, and beautiful little girl blessed with two of the most loving parents in the world. It was amazing to see the unspoken bond you had with each other. Anyone could see the love you shared in each look you gave, each smile you smiled, and each kind word you spoke. We were all blessed to have Kaylee in our lives and she was truly blessed to have parents like you. We love you both.

Dear Amy and Ed,
My Mom died on June 8 of this year. One month later, I was still a wreck. So I know that you are somewhere between wreck and resilliance right now. Do not apologize for your feelings. Your pain is still raw and your disbelief is changing to deeper grief. Please be strong! Many, including myself, still pray for your peace and resignation. Beautiful Kaylee is even more so in Heaven. Thinking of you still...

Chrissy & Kevin Murphy

November 7, 2006

Amy and Ed,
There is nothing more precious in this world than a child. There is nothing more devastating than having to say goodbye to that child.
Suddenly, the happiness, bliss, wonder and elation given to you by this angel are gone. It is replaced with anguish, agony, grief and sorrow. These words cannot even explain how you feel.

We know. We lost our Gracie when she was 3 years old.
We would have traded our lives for hers, but couldn't. You would make that offering for Kaylee too, but you cannot.
As we live each day, we never forget Gracie, but we know she forever looks over us. We know our Angel wants us to be happy, and continue on with our lives.
Our Gracie is with your Kaylee in heaven. Kaylee too, is watching over you, hoping for you to continue on.
You have an Angel in Heaven.
Kaylee will be in your thoughts and prayers forever.
She will also be watching over you forever.

If you ever need to talk, we are here.

Debbie Shaw

November 7, 2006

Dear Amy & Ed
I know today is one month since Kaylee has passed and I can't even begin to imagine what the both of you must be feeling. I think of the last time I saw you guys over the summer at Danielle's party and even though I do not know you all that well I do think of you both every day and pray every night that you find the strength to go on.
Sincerely,
Debbie Shaw

To the family of Kaylee Rose,
You do not know me, nor do I know you. But the prayers I have been saying have only been for you. Constantly in my thoughts and in my heart, I pray for you to find some peace and comfort in this sad time in your life.
Since I heard of your loss from Theresa you have been on my mind. She has told me wonderful things about Kaylee, and from all the people that signed this guestbook, you can see how many lives she has touched. She has also touched mine.
My deepest sympathy.

Dear Amy and Ed,

I have been trying desperately to come up with words to offer some kind of comfort for you. Needless to say, there are none. I can only tell you how my heart aches for you. I think about you all the time and continue to look at Kaylee’s beautiful pictures and smile…and cry. She truly is an angel. I cannot begin to imagine the pain you are suffering. I can only pray that the memories of all the joy she brought you will bring you some comfort. You are surrounded by so many who love you. You are in my heart and I will continue to pray for all of you.

Love,
Joan

Kathy Conigliaro

October 21, 2006

Dear Amy and Ed,
I can't imagine the immense sadness you are feeling. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for the loss of your beautiful child. Kaylee was so special and so loved. She glowed with such gentle beauty and character. The love and appreciation you shared with her was so obvious, right down to even just the way you glanced at her. She was truly blessed to have such gentle, caring parents.

Please know that Kaylee's memory will forever live in so many hearts. May you both find solace and peace in knowing that you are deeply loved and cherished by so many who are praying for your comfort and strength during this time of such profound sorrow.

Tatjana Stanovic

October 21, 2006

My dear Amy & Ed,
I am so sorry for your loss. I wish there was somthing I could say that would ease your pain. Kaylee was a beautiful little girl whom I loved very much. She will always be very close to my heart. She always made me laugh and smile. She was so loving and fun. There were so many things I loved about Kay Kay. The way she would try to get you to chase her around the house or the way she said my name. She pronounced it so well. Last time I came to visit Kay Kay was sitting at the dinner table eating ice cream and she said to me "cool shirt". We all laughed and then she got embarrassed. I have such fond memories of Kaylee and I am so fortunate that you let me be part of her life. You both were such wonderful and loving parents and Kaylee was very lucky to be your daughter. The love she felt from you she projected on to others.
Amy you are my dear friend and I love you so much. I am here for both of you to help you get throguh these tough times.

Love always,
Tatjana

Dear Amy and Ed,
I was so saddened to learn about your sudden loss. Even though I never met Kaylee I have learned so many things about her from people who have told me such wonderful stories about her. Kaylee sounds like such a beloved child and she will remain that way always in your hearts.

I'm at a loss for words to comfort you; being a parent I can not imagine the incredible pain that you are experiencing. However, as I read this journal I find that you have wonderful family members and friends who will help guide you through this difficult time and the times ahead.

My prayers and thoughts are with you daily. I am sorry I could not make the wake and see you in person. If there is anything at all that I (my family) can do for you all you need to do is ask.

Our prayers are with you and your families.

Sincerely,
Stacey (Smagala) Bailey

Our hearts are broken for you, Amy and Ed. How we wish we can take away your pain. Never before have I seen such wonderful,adoring parents, or such a beautiful child. Her life was filled with smiles and giggles. So many people are praying for you. Your family and friends love you so very much. Dearest Kaylee, you have my heart. Watch over mommy and daddy.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sunshine warm your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Dear Amy and Ed,
I've been told by our mutual friend Mario Arbore of your deep sorrow and
mourning due to Kaylee Rose departing so soon...
so unexpectedly. He speaks of
how precious she was and, how precious you were as the very best loving parents. I mourn with you
and also celebrate that in this earthly dimension you all shared such joy and love that will continue
eternally. Thanks to each of you for your courage in life that is not always easy and living it so committed to give and be love!!!

P E A C E .

PEACE.

October 17, 2006

Ed and Amy, Your hearts are broken and so are ours. Your lives changed when beautiful Kaylee came into this world, and all of our lives changed when she left. The time she was with us will be cherished forever. She made such an impression on anyone who ever met her, that you can not help but think of her everyday. That will never ever change. Not for you, and not for us. You are the best of people, and the best Mommy and Daddy Kaylee could ever have. Max kisses Kaylee's picture everyday. Although he's young, I know he will never forget her. Your friendship means the world to us. There is nothing we wouldn't do to help you through this. We love you both so. Michelle, Kyle, and Max.

Kate Allegretti

October 17, 2006

Dear Amy and Ed,

Like everyone else, I wish I could find the words to express how sorry I am. Kaylee was a sweet, loving and beautiful little girl. Everytime I saw her she was smiling. You both made her so happy. Please know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of each other. I am always here if you need anything.

All my love,
Kate

Dear Amy, Ed and Family,

One day at the library we met a beautiful little bald headed girl and her mommy. From there we came to know a beautiful angel and her wonderful parents. What an amazing journy we have had together. The bonding of our children. The play dates, the "crushes". I can go on and on. From learning to walk (which took a while) to making "pud" and singing "abc's". Swimming and coloring in our tents. Parties, painting things and painting faces. The joy little Kay-Kay brought to our lives we will never forget. Thank you for allowing her into our hearts and lives. Thank you for being great friends and now for allow us to be great friends back. Always here to listen, talk and cry together. We love you all. You are forever in our hearts and prayers. Have fun little Kaylee until we meet again.

The Madr Family

October 15, 2006

Amy & Ed,
There are no words for us to express how sorry we are for your loss. Kaylee is a beautiful little girl who will live in our hearts forever.
Ron was unable to make it to the wake with me and he felt like he needed to do something to honor Kaylee's memory... we now have dozens of tulips planted in our yard to remind us each year of your beautiful little angel.
If there is anything you need please let us know.

Love,
Eileen and Ron

My dear friends Amy & Ed:
I can see that beautiful smile and those sparkling blue eyes so clearly and I hear that infectious laugh echoing in my ears. She was one of Angela's first friends and best friends! They really enjoyed playing together and they played so well with each other! She is proof of what great parents you are! Don't ever forget that you are great parents!
Please know that your family and friends love and support you and we are all here for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers, today, tomorrow and always!

Dear Amy, Ed and Family,

I'm not sure if it's even possible to find the words to express how saddened we are by Kaylee's passing. She is one of the most sweetest little girls we have had the fortune of knowing. Her eyes, her smile, her fun and kind personality, will be remembered by us forever.
You both are truly amazing parents. Please know and remember this. There is no doubt in my mind that all of Kaylee's wonderful characteristics are due to the unconditional love you gave her. There is no way that she doesn't continue to feel that type of love.
Our thoughts and prayers will remain with you, not only during this difficult time, but always. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you.

Her time on earth was too short,
Her life was filled with love.
Now heaven has a sweet angel
To watch us from above.
I’ll miss her beautiful smile
And watching her run and play
She’ll always be my “best friend”
And I’ll think of her every day.
She loved to chase and tickle,
Was quick to share a toy.
Her parents gave her so much love,
She brought her family joy.
And now she is our angel
Her love for us still grows
She’ll never be forgotten,
Our lovely Kaylee Rose.

Dear Ed and Amy,

Some words from a book that has helped me:
"Be grateful to God for everything that happens to you. Everything -
the negatives, the positives, the karma, the calamities - because they
are teachers, they are lessons."

I wish you Divine light and love through this sad time of loss.

Kaylee was blessed with loving parents and adoring family.

You made her feel mighty real!

Love,
Mario

Kaylee's life though short was filled with love and laughter. She enjoyed the days that God gave to her. I met her once but I feel like I knew her forever through her Father's stories. If on her life's journey she wanted to bring joy and laughter to the people she met then rest assure she lived an accomplished life. Go Mets Yankee P--h

Dear Ed and Amy:

When we your coworkers and friends first heard Kaylee was so gravely ill, we were in shock. Everything happened so fast. This isn't suppose to happen to a two year old little girl, who is the apple of her Father and Mother's eye.

Frantically, we all started prayer vigil's petitioning to God in hope of returning Kaylee back to you, and Amy. And when we were not praying we stood around just comforting each other that this could not be happening to one of the nicest people we know, and his wife. We tried to make sense of this tragedy.

It was in my prayers on Saturday, October 7th, that I had an image in my heart and my minds eye. I saw Kaylee walking with someone. It was a man. I couldn't make out the image of the man, was it an Angel, or was it Jesus Himself, I don't know. I only know she was content to go where he was leading her. As she walked with him, she was looking up at him and chatting. Under one of her arms she was clutching a stuffed animal. It appeared to be a favored stuffed animal.

The part I found so comforting about this image, was as Kaylee was walking with him, she never looked back. This image was so real in my minds eye, I discussed it with my husband. We both decided right then to prayer for Kaylee and asked Jesus once again to heal her.

The image remained in my heart and mind. Later that day, in my prayers, I asked Jesus again, please give her back to her parents. Then a quiet voice in my heart said, she is with me, she is all right. By evening, I felt a peace that all was well. I didn't know until the next day that Kaylee had gone home to Jesus.

I know the grief you have, I lost a child myself. I've dreamt about my little one, and know that he is in a Heaven. Someday, I will see him.
Jesus said, "he or she who believes on my name, has passed from death to eternal life."

Kaylee, is safe with the Lord Jesus, where nothing can ever hurt her. I pray the both of you keep your faith, so that someday, you will once again be with your beloved daughter.

Jesus said "Hinder not the children to come onto me, for such is as the Kingdom of God."

Play in the sunlight of Heaven Kaylee. Run with the other children and laugh. Sit on the lap of the creator of your soul Jesus. And know that in a twinkling of an eye someday your mommy and daddy will be with you again.
