Sweet Darling  / Grandmother Gentile
Isabella,
   It seems impossible that it has been an entire year since I was able to hold and Love you.  It feels like time has stood still. Nothing has changed as we are all still living back in 2006 unable to move forward without you. If we did move forward it would be time to say goodbye and none of us are willing to do that. It is deeply unfair to have taken you and deeply unfair to put a family through so much. I can and will never understand. There will never be enough time on earth to heal all these devestated and broken hearts. You mean so much to us Beautiful girl.  Just remember Sweetheart we will always share something and that would be my heart. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DARLING GRANDDAUGHTER. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF US. SNUGGLE HUGS AND A BILLION KISSES. FOREVER AND EVER. GRANDMOTHER Close

Thinking of you  / Dawndela Webb
I am so sorry for your loss and I am thinkin of you today. I know your angel is missed and is watching you. Close

Truely an Angel (author unknown)  / Mommy
An Angel is what she is to me
That's what she was truly meant to be
As her time on earth has past
Her memory will always last

She was put to the ultimate test
Now it's time for her to rest
So as she goes
Heaven only knows

That she was more
Than you or me
Because an Angel is what
She was truly meant to be 




My Mom Is A Survivor
My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom...through Heaven's open door.
I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more.
But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal~! 



I looked toward the clouds today
and for a moment saw your face
And wondered just where you have gone
with the hope it's a peaceful place

Did you show yourself to me today
to tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
playing tricks upon my sight

Then I thought of when you left
still too young to say a word
Yet the look you gave us said it all
in our hearts, your good-bye was heard

You have changed our lives forever
your short time here not in vain
and hope you know we tried it all
to keep you safe from pain

We will always feel the void inside
because you are not here
But each new thought you send our way
let's us know you're always near

So until our journey nears it's end
and we hear the Angels sing
We'll face each new day as it comes
and live off the Love you bring.

~James Sullivan 


Don't cry for me Daddy
I am right here
Although you can't see me
I see your tears
I visit you often
Go to work with you each day
And when it's time to close your eyes
On your pillows where I lay
I hold your hand and stroke your hair
And whisper in your ear
If you're sad today Daddy
Remember I am here
God took me home
This we know is true
But you will always be my Daddy
Even though I'm not with you
I am Daddy's little girl
We will never be apart
For every time you think of me
Please know I'm in your heart.
I Love you Daddy!
You're Baby Girl 



Precious Angel
Precious angel sent to earth,
Did they tell you of your worth?
More than diamonds, rubies or gold,
Only you do I want to hold.
So perfect your beauty as I look into your eyes,
That gentle reflection of angels in the skies.
Each day you grew inside me, so big and so strong,
But your time here with me was not to be long.
Oh how my heart aches as I have to say good-bye,
As I let you go back to play in the sky.

One year ago today...  / Mommy
Was the last day that our family was truly happy. I remember everything that we did on October 20, 2006. Never could I have imagined that would be the last day that we spent together as a family. Life was so complete a year ago. I can't beleive that it has been a whole year tommorow since we last held you. I wish we could go back. You brought such happiness to us and it is so unfair that you are gone. 

I would give anything to have you back and our family to be whole again. Luca loves and misses you SO much he still talks about you all the time. How wonderful it would be if that instead of writting this you were here playing with Luca and running around the house.

Sweetie I will never understand why this had to happen to you, but I just pray that you know how much you are loved and I hope you still continue to feel that.

I love you SO much Isabella..

Hugs and Kisses xoxoxoxoxoxo Close

One year...angel Isabella  / Monika Patterson (Friend)
 On October 21, my water broke. I felt so anxious and excited to finally have my son, Mason. Who knew a sweet little girl was taken to heaven that day? When I learned about you, I knew you were an angel for all the babies. God chose you to be with him in heaven. Your mommy loves you so much. I'm truly inspired by her. I know your keeping watch over your brother Luca, and the little baby growing in your mommy. God bless you sweetie. Your a beautiful angel in heaven. I'm thankful for beautiful angels like you. You make heaven a beautiful place. Keep watch over your mommy & daddy, & siblings. Send lots of hugs, and kisses down to earth. This world needs your love. Love, Monika & Mason Close

Sweet baby..  / Mommy
I am miss you so much Isabella. We are aproaching a year that you have been gone and I can't seem to beleive still that this year has even happened. I am thinking back to this exact time last year, you were here with us and our family felt so complete. Life was just wonderful. You brought so much happiness to us.
Luca still talks about you all the time and he misses you so much. I see babies all the time they are doing all the things that you should be doing and it makes me so sad. I can just imagine you here running around the house and the yard taking you down to the park to swing on the swingset. My heart hurts so much for you knowing there is so much to life that you never got to expreience. It is just so unfair. I will never understand why things happen the way they do. 
I just hope you ALWAYS know and feel how much we love you and nothing will ever take that away. There will never be a day that passes by that you are not my first thought of the day.

I love you so much Isabella.. Close

Isabella / Grandmother Gentile

Beautiful,
  This has been the most difficult year I have ever lived. Being able to hold and love you was such a gift. I knew deep in my soul you were a gift from God but that really did not enter my head. All I knew is that you were Beautiful, healthy, cuddly and oh so kissable. I took for granted that you would be with us forever. I will never take things for granted again. I now cherish everything around me. That doen't mean I'm not angry and bitter that you are not here with us it just means I look differently at whats around me. It's a more fearful way of living but thats better than thinking nothing can or will never happen. Every day all day you are on my mind. My Love for you grows each day. It didnt stop growing on October 21st. You are so much a part of me. True Love never dies my little beauty.........It lives and my Love for you is proof of that. Stay close to us Isabella we need you. I LOVE YOU BABY, SNUGGLE HUGS AND A MILLION BUTTERFLY KISSES. XXXXXOOOOO

Bittersweet... / Leslee Frary (PW)
I remember your mommy announcing when you were born. She was so happy and proud. I remember looking at all of the pictures she posted, they always made me smile. You have the most beautiful smile. I think about you every day. I know I never got to meet you in person, but you still touched my life. I tell Ambria about you all the time. I bet you two would have cracked each other up with your big smiles. 

You are very missed baby girl. I hope you know that. So many people care about you. I bet it was fun for you to see all the balloons today. I hope you the special note that I wrote on the balloon. 

Don't ever forget how much you are loved. Your mommy talks about you all the time... she has done so many things in your honor. Please help her though the times when she feels like it is too much to handle. Happy birthday little one... God bless you and your wonderful family.

With all my heart,
Leslee aka Ambria's mommy Close

Sweet Isabella  / Mommy
Today has been so hard. We should be celebrating your birthday with cake and presents and a beautiful little birthday dress. Instead we had to celebrate without you and release balloons and a very sad hearbreaking visit to the cemetary. I will never understand why you had to be taken from us so soon. This is not the way that things should be for us. 
Isabella you have touched so many lives in such a short time. Everyone who loves you and cares about you got together today and released balloons for your birthday. Some people that never got to meet you and some who were lucky enough. Balloons were sent up from all over the world.
Me,daddy,Luca, Grandmother, Theo, John, Auntie Nancy and Uncle Carlo all gathered here to let the balloons go. It was truely beautiful. You have made me a different and better person. Thank you so much my little sweetie. I love you so much. My heart is so broken. I miss you always sweetie.

Sweet baby  / Sarah McChesney (Friend)
Isabella,

I know I never got a chance to meet you but, your life has made an everlasting impression on my life and my families. You have been the inspiration for so much positive change in my life. Also, because of you I have been given the gift of friendship from your mommy and family. I will never forget all the happiness you brought into the world or the gifts you have given me. I am sure your great grandmother is holding you tight as you look down on your family today. Happy birthday, beautiful baby. Missing you always. Close

Heart felt  / Bev (Grandmother)

With all my Love  / Bev (Grandmother)
Darling Granddaughter,
                 
                 Today Sweetheart marks a very special day. The day you were born, the day we all waited for. The day we met you "Beautiful Isabella". This is your birthday. 
                  Today I want to reflect back on August 10, 2006...
In my mind I can see all the happiness thats going on. Smiling faces every where. Pictures being taken. Everyone commenting on just how Beautiful you are. As you lay looking around without a care in the world, not understanding what all the fuss was about. You had better things to think of. Wondering where you were and why things looked so different. A Day to Remember.
                   Little did we know that in just a short time life would change yet again only this time there were no smiling faces. This time there were just tears and heartbreak. It has been ten months since I have been able to snuggle with you. Time doesn't heal. I am as broken hearted today as I was that horrible day you left us. You left behind a legecy of joy and happiness, take nothing for granted and Love to your fullest capacity for tommorrow may never come. Why are you the one that had to teach us that lesson.
Today will be to celebrate the time that you graced our lives. I am a richer person and a thankful Grandmother that you are a part of my life. With tears of joy and tears of helplesness I LOVE YOU MY DARLING ISABELLA WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL.........SNUGGLING WITH YOU IN MY DREAMS AND THOUGHTS.........BUTTERFLY KISSES FOREVER.................AND A DAY.

I can only imagine.....  / Melissa Eason (Mum 2 Angel Cooper )
Hi,

I know. I know how hard it is. Impossible even. How do we do this? I wish there was some miracle formula for grief. I'm afraid we have to grit our teeth & bear it. No matter how hard it is. We have no other option.

After our son Cooper died to SIDS last August we started going to church. I really struggled with this as I was SO COMPLETELY angry with god.  Anyway, one of the songs stuck a cord with me, it was "I can only imagine".  This song is amazing and I can only imagine what it will be like when we spend eternity with our babies.

Take care of yourselves and be kind to yourself.

Warm wishes.

Sweet Girl  / Mommy
Sometimes Isabella it is just so hard to beleive that you were here. At times it all feels like a dream. I am missing you so much it hurts to breathe. They say time heals all wounds but I don't think there is any amount of time that could heal my heart. I was at the docotrs today and I could have thrown myself on the floor and cried, it was the same doctors office that i went to when I was pregnant with you. I remember sitting in there almost weekly around this time last year. As if it weren't hard enough to be back there I hear music in the backround and it was the song "I can only imagine". My arms ache for you as bad as my heart does sweetie. There is never a time when I am not thinking of you.
You sweetheart will never be forgotten. I am just so sorry things had to be this way. I wish that we could have had more time.
I have shared how you passed away with the entire world and I promise you when I feel I can I am going to share more about your short time with is here. I have to beleive that you are in the arms of your great grandmother right now watching over us. 
I hope you know and that you always knew how much I love you baby.
Always and forever baby doll.. Close

Isabella... / Mommy
I am thinking of you every moment of everyday. I miss you more than I could ever even say. I am so heartbroken that you are not here with us. Around this time last year we were so excited because you would be here soon and now this year here we are heartbroken because you were here and now you are gone. I wish we had more time sweetie. This is not the way things were suppose to go. I never imagined that I would have to say goodbye to one of my children, I only thought one day you would have to say goodbye to me. I wish that I was planning a birthday party for you right now, instead I am planning a balloon release. I just cant understand how you were given to us so beautiful and perfect just to be taken away. I will always long for you and miss you and there is nothing that can take away this pain.
I love you always and forever sweet Isabella.

Beautiful Girl  / Bev (Grandmother)

My beautiful girl even though its been 7 months since you left us I feel life has stood still. I still can't believe it. I hang desperatly to the memories. I remember I couldn't wait to get out of work so I could go see you, Luca and Theo. When I went home I looked forward to tomorrow so I could run back and spent more time with you. Sometimes you would be sleeping in your swing and I would just sit near you and watch. What a beautiful baby! Luca was always very close making sure you were ok. Mommy would say she's not happy unless she is being held so in our arms you did stay. You loved to be cuddled and snuggled. Grandmother misses you more than anything in this world. I am so very sorry Sweetheart. I wish so badly things could be different. My heart is with you Darling, always and forever..... 
Stay extra close to Daddy today Sweetie it's his birthday let him know your near..................................................Love you Derek..

Hello Cutie  / Monika Patterson (None)
Dear Isabella,
            This morning I had Mason out in the back yard, and we were staring at the angel that my father-in-law made for the front yard. My FIL said "You have one of these watching over you!" I said "Yes, he does, baby angel Isabella." God bless you cutie pie and your family. Thank you for being an angel baby! Love, Monika & Mason Close

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAYT  / ^KALEL'S^ MOMMY
I THINK IN HEAVEN OUR LITTLE ANGELS SIT AROUND AND BRAG ABOUT THEIR MOMMIES. WE NEVER CEASE TO BE THEIR MOMMY. WE NEVER STOP WORRYING ABOUT THEM. WE WILL NEVER STOP LOVING THEM. MAY YOU SMILE WHEN YOU THINK OF ISABELLA TODAY. SHE LOVES YOU SO VERY MUCH AND I KNOW HAS A LOT TO BRAG ABOUT.

Miss You...  / Mommy
Isabella,
 It is still so hard to beleive that you are gone. I miss you more and more every single day that passes. I wish that you were here with us. I can only imagine what you would be like now, what you would be doing and how big you would have gotten. As Mother's Day slowly creeps up on us it hits me that this year I am a mother, I am a mother who is without one of her children, I am a heartbroken mother who longs for BOTH of her children to be here with her. Every day without you is a stuggle but it seems that these "special" days are always a little worse.
 I miss you and Love you so much Isabella, thank you for being my daughter. Close

I Love You  / Bev (Grandmother Gentile )

This almost feels like a dream, how can something like this happen to such a young healthy beautiful you. How could you have been so happy and content? Your smile so contageous~Love and excitment that filled the air. Luca and Theo so in love with the thought of you. I have to wonder what Gods reason was to take you and make a family so deperately sad. Lives come crashing down and left with such emptiness and lifeless feelings.  Teary eyed frustration and angry heart break. This is a life time of pain that we all will feel. At times it gets overwhelming.
Isabella my precious baby girl, I LOVE YOU more and more each day. Each day I pray that you are peaceful and that you know with no doubt how very much you are Loved by so many.
Sweetheart, You, Luca, Theo, Mommy,Daddy,Auntie Nancy,Uncle Carlo, John and Uncle Eddie are my life. You are all precious to me. You will always be with us Darling. I LOVE YOU BABY, SNUGGLEY HUGS AND A MILLION KISSES ISABELLA.
