He was so small,
So beautiful,
So full of hope and promise. What a blessing he has been to all of us who knew him those few short months.
He taught us to love,
To hope beyond expectation,
To trust in that which is unseen. He drew us together
In our anxiety,
Our moments of despairing and hopelessness,
As well as in our joys and delight, and in his every breath.
His life ended prematurely; just so had he been born. Too soon he died.
We wept.
The tears continue.
We hugged
And held one another.
The pain will always linger. Our hearts emptier
For his absence
And the unfulfilled dreams he promised.
But the love he brought
Into our lives will live forever.
Thank you for giving him to us.
Thank you for the blessing
That he will always be.
Thank you for the love we would never have known,
But for him and his brief days with us.
Thank you for our blessed child of grace. Our angel you took home to your place.
Amen
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Words, however kind,
can't mend your heartache:
but those who care and
share your loss wish you

May you find strength
in the love of family
and in the warm embrace
of friends.
