Marissa . U mean and ment so much to me. And I don't no if u new that. But I think about u every single day. It's been 5 months. The pain that we all have from u leaving isn't as bad as it would be if it weren't for u. Cuz ur always here to talk and were never alone . U make us a lil but stronger every day. It's just I need to see u and hear ur voice and see ur smile . We all took u for granted . Cuz we thought u would always be here . But instead of fixing ur own problems and having us be there for u . U fixed our problems and were there for us . U were the reason me and Adrianna became friends and I wish u were still here today to fix us again . See u always fixed my problems. I wish this all never happened. But god never puts u thro something he doesn't think u can't Handel. But it's selfish for me Wanting u back cuz ur In heaven now which is the greatest place ever . And maybe if u were still here . The pain would also come.. And u have already been thro enough pain. But I just want u. To no that I love u more then anything and miss u so much and would do anything have u back. Fly high babe

Mitt you will always be missed. Your the most beautiful angel in heaven<3<3<3

Hi Mitt! I know a lot of time has passed, but I just wanted to say thank you for letting me vent to you today. It felt so good to sit by you! I miss you so much. I will never, ever forget anything you said to me. I was looking at pictures of us from when I was in first grade and I laughed so hard I cried. We were so cute with our barbies! I'm never going to forget you. I love you, so much. I see you in my dreams almost every night. Love you, beautiful. Waddle waddle ! Every storm runs out of rain.

A bit of time has gone now but I wanted to let you know that we are still thinking of you. I shed so many tears and missed sleep over a beautiful child that I did not have the pleasure of knowing. Although my daughter did and said she was a sweety. I know time doesnt heal all wounds but it can help lighten the load a bit. We wont forget you in our prayers. Try to remain strong for your other loved ones and children and so you may reunite in heaven some day and all be together again.

'Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and her tears are pourin' down

wishin' she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely
just remember she can see
there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and she's watchin' over you and me!!!

Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.

Stay Strong! And look to God for peace and comfort!

He loves you and He cares.
