I know words cant express what your feeling. I have prayed for the boys and will continue to keep your family in my prayers. Sorry I didn't get to stay. To laugh and run and play. To be there by your side. I'm sorry that I had to die. God sent me down to be with you, to make your loving heart anew. To help you look up and see Both God and little me. Mommy, I wish I could stay. Just like I heard you pray. But, all the angels did cry when they told little me goodbye. God didn't take me cause He's mad. He didn't send me to make you sad. But to give us both a chance to be a love so precious .. don't you see? Up here no trouble do I see and the pretty angels sing to me. The streets of gold is where I play you'll come here too, mommy, someday. Until the day you join me here, I'll love you mommy, dear. Each breeze you feel and see, brings love and a kiss from me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribute from: The Ganchi Family We truly can not express how sorry and sad we are for your loss.....our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.

Our entire church family are praying for his brother and your family. May you feel some comfort in knowing that many feel your pain. May God continue to be with you through these trying times. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribute from: Estee&Edward Harris (from EB Friends) Whisper close dear Kyle, in your parents ear, with sweet butterfly kisses, to calm all there fears. Fly and flutter close, and warm them with your love, so your tender loving hugs can reach them from above. Be free sweet butterfly. (by Estee Harris) Butterfly Wishes (from Edward) Yesterday a butterfly Came floating gently through the sky. He soared up through the atmosphere Then drifted close enough to hear. I said, "I'd love to fly with you And sail around the way you do. It looks like it would be such fun To fly up toward the summer sun. But I have not your graceful charm. I haven't wings, just these two arms. I've been designed to walk around. My human feet must touch the ground. Then magically he spoke to me and told me what his wish would be. He said, "What I'd love most to do Is walk upon God's Earth with you, To squish it's mud between my toes Or touch my finger to my nose. I'd love just once to walk around With human feet to touch the ground, But I have not two legs that swing, I haven't arms, just these two wings." And so we went our separate ways In wonder and surprise. For we'd both seen God's precious gifts Through someone else's eyes.

Mariellen & Wes Pierson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribute from: Joy Kaniper Dear Jerome & Suzanne, You don't know me but I can feel your pain. I had a child at age 22 with Down's Syndrome, and had no clue that that was what was going to happen. He is gone now almost four years and I miss him everyday, but as your husband said after the death of your second son, they do have a way teaching us of life and what it really important. Take care of each other and may God bless your life always. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribute from: Kathy Hedden Jerry & Sue, You do not know my family or I but our prayers and heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family.
