My prayers are with you...
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

Tristan, you were Krista's little twin at Luv n Care daycare. I went to pick up Krista many a times and I would always confuse Tristan with my own daughter. They looked so alike. Our hearts sank when we heard the news. She was such a bright loving child, and you will be missed. Our condolences go out to the family and friends.

Tristin, your 2nd birthday party last month provided my four children wide eyes and smiles with all the exotic animals that came their way.. We had a wonderful time and loved your tutu you wore. May you be giggling and dancing in heaven. Much love to your Mom, Dad and McKay who will miss you the most until they see you again.
