Dear Kelly, Adam and Family,
We all prayed for a miracle for Skylar. God answered those prayers differently. We all fell in love with your son and have learned to hold on to everyday with a new perspective. Laugh and love with all your heart!
We grieve with you. Things can never be the same but we can hold on to Skylar's goodness and share his love for life! May God give you His grace to mend your broken hearts. In time, peace.
Praying for you,

My sister is best friends with Jessica West, who's hope was to have little Skylar in her wedding. I am so sorry to hear that he has passed, but I am sure that you know that nothing will ever fill that void in their hearts for this little boy. I know that he is at peace now and we can all take at least some comfort that he is in a safe place. Michele

I know that you do not know me but I am good friends with a couple that loved you dearly. They often would tell me things about you and sent me a picture that I taped to my work computer to keep you in my thoughts throughout the day. You will definitely be missed but know that you will never stop being thought about and loved. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

An angel baby was given
to be cared for on earth
for a while.
An angel boy was given back
to be cared for in heaven
for eternity.
Mother, father, grandparents all
will see their angel boy again
in heaven.
I'm one of Gus Berry's co-workers. I wrote this poem to extend my condolence to the famly. I pray the God of Comfort to comfort you all in this time of sorrow. May you tangibly feel His arms around you as He carries you thru this valley.

Skylar, one of the first times I met you was at my wedding when you cried because you wanted to dance with the princess. I will never forget how adorable and loving you are. You bring a smile to everyone's faces, even if they never met you. Your mommy is an inspiration to others. You are absolutely an angel and everyone feels the impact you made in this world. We love you all so very much. You will forever be in our hearts and minds.

As I was looking through the Omaha Obituaries, I couldn't help but notice this particular Entry, "Skylar M. Berry, age 5." I am a mother of a 2 year old, and I can't imagine how you are feeling right now. Please know that my heart goes out to you in so many ways. Skylar is now an angel, he\she is playing in heaven with his favorite toys, singing favorite songs, jumping, running and skipping...he is happy...happier than we could ever imagine being here on Earth. My prayers are with you in your time of pain...your sister in Christ, Jessie. (You don't know me, but sometimes in life...we all need to be there for a stranger.)

To Kelly, Adam, Sue, Bernie...and all of Sky's family. Thank you for taking such good care of this precious little boy. He was loved every moment of his short life. Deeply and truly loved. Many people have long lives and are never loved. Not so with Skylar! God gave him to the perfect family, He knew you would do everything you could to make him happy...and you did! We grieve now...but we grieve with HOPE...because one day we will be reunited with sweet Skylar in heaven. Please know that God has been there with you every step of the way, and He is with you now...catching your tears and holding you in your sorrow. Thank you Lord for the last wonderful 5 years that we were blessed with Skylar here on earth! We look forward to being with him again one day!
