Cretzman Family - I know nothing anyone can say or do will bring Azlynn back. However last night God gave me these words. My prayer is they will give you comfort. He always puts me in character when I write so I wrote this from Azlynn to you. It is:
BIG MESSAGE FROM A SMALL ANGEL
My dear precious family, at this your time of grief; I know it's hard to understand why my life on earth was brief. I know you all miss me and how I miss you too. But what happened was an accident, no one is blaming you. Jesus sat me on his knee when he brought me here. He held me close then gently took his hand and wiped my tears. He told me you would be just fine and you were not alone. His angels are surrounding you and even though I'm gone, the day we're reunited we will never part. Until then please remember I'm alive in your heart.
