Dear Mr. Pauli, Mrs. Pauli and family,
You are not far from our thoughts each day as we look at our own precious children and realize how fleeting time is. It is God's way, not our way. Not something easily accepted at times. Again, thank you for sharing your family with us while you were at Lincoln Christian School and thank you for allowing us all to be a part of those who prayed for Kaden. He brought us closer to the Lord. He was not just your blessing, he was our blessing.
With our deepest sympathy,
Kim Cockrill Van Noy

To Kaden's family:
Looking into Kaden's eyes in his picture, I can't help but think that he was looking into the eyes of God at that time. His little eyes were sparkling and appear to be filled with the love of God.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Our children are really God's children that He has loaned to us to love and care for here on Earth. Know that your sweet face child is in a much better place where he does not have to suffer anymore and I am sure he is waiting to be reunited once more.

I just happen to see this precious child of God picture. I want to say may God be with you in a time of need. Remember your tears are just temporary relief. Your tears are just a release of the pain, sorrow, grief.
Your tears are expressions that can't controlled. A little crying out is alright, but after awhile you won't have to cry no more; don't you worry, God's gonna wipe every tear away.Weeping may endure for a night, joy will come in the morning.
Hold on to His unchanging hand, brand new day is to come.

To the Family of Kaden,
Some angels can not stay on earth too long-I know you all will cherish the short time you had with this precious child. Chris Wells
February 5, 2009
"I'll lend you for a while a child of mine," He said.
"For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be one or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise he will stay; since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?"
"I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay;
But should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand!"
I am so sorry for your loss.
From,
A Mommy

"Jesus loves me this I know. For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong - they are weak, but he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me. The Bible tells me so."

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.
