Sweet Baby Girl  / Beverly Gentile (Grandmother)
Isabella, I need you to know how much Love you brought to our lives. You and Luca are the center of our world. It may have been for a short time but you live on in our hearts and our Love continues to grow for you. I stare at the picture of you and luca and you can see how much he loves you. He is so proud to be the big brother. As little as Luca is he too will never forget you. He has the special memories. Little guy to little girl. There was a very special something between you. He would pat your little head. Usually knowing what you needed. He watched over you like a hawk. It did my heart good to see the two of you together. Luca sparkled when he looked at you. We all sparkled.
Little one, you and Luca are the most precious thing that has happened to me since my own children. You and your brother mean the world to me. 
I can't touch you, I can't see you  but I can feel you and I can LOVE YOU FOREVER. I miss you so much my little beauty. MILLIONS OF HUGS AND KISSES DARLING. Close

My little Angel  / Mommy

Isabella,
 I am missing you so much my little sweetie. I can't beleive how much time has passed since you have been gone. The pain that I feel inside is still as great as the day you left. I will always feel an emptiness in my heart. There will never be a day that passes in my life that I don't think about you and miss you.
 My little darling I wish so badly that things could be different. I would do anything to have you here with us. 
 Your big brother Luca misses you so much. He talks about you everyday and he is always saying that he wishes that you could come back. Luca has been telling me that he dreams of you and that you talk to him in his dreams...
 Please stay close to him, stay close to all of us. 
 Missing you is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. I hope you feel all the love that surrounds you. In the short time that you were here you made life so much more beautiful. You have made me a better person....a better mother. 
 I just pray that you always knew how much I love you and that you continue to feel that love.
 I love you so much my little angel.
Missing you more than ever
Mommy

Isabella the Beautiful  / Esther Kraig (PW mommy (Sept 06) )
     She's so beautiful!  I wish you didn't have to go through all this pain.  You're doing a good thing, here.  I didn't even THINK about water intoxication from a swimming pool.  THANK YOU - I've been wanting to teach Brendon how to swim since before he was born!  Now I know that I should wait until he's older (summer's perfect - he was born August 30, 2006, so by then he should be old enough).  And reading about mommies who lost five month olds to SIDS - it makes me rethink my decision about how Brendon sleeps.  I thought since he's mobile, he's safe.  Thank you for showing me that I'd better get more knowledge, and fast.
     One thing - I think he's safe from choking by now.  Maybe it's time to worry more about SIDS than aspiration.
     THANK YOU!!!!!!  God bless! Close

Darling Isabella.

    I have been thinking about you a lot lately. Although I never met you, I miss you every single day. I am constantly looking at pictures of you, I just love seeing your smile. I hope you know how much your mommy misses you! She is so strong. I look at her as one of my heros. I hope you are looking down on us all and smiling. Your smile makes the whole world light up. Keep smiling baby girl, we all need it down here!

Sweet Face  / Beverly Gentile (Grandmother)
Isabella, Not a moment goes by that you are not on my mind. I still cant believe you are not with us. Every day is a struggle. I look at Luca and I thank God everyday he is here with us. I can only wish I could say the same about you. My heart shreds in a million peices with the frustration  that turns to anger of knowing I cant change anything, nobody can. The only thing no one can take from me is my beautiful memories of my beautiful granddaughter. I Love you Sweetheart.~~ Millions of kisses, Millions of hugs ~~ Close

Beautiful Website  / Mari Wolfe (From "Mothers of Angels" )

Kristen, the website you created for your daughter is sooo very beautiful and touching.  I loved looking through the pictures and seeing the love that was evidently there.  Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.  We won't know in this lifetime why these things had to happen to us so try and stay strong.

My little Love Bug  / Beverly Gentile (Grandmother)
Sweetheart,  It seems impossible for you to have been gone for this long. The day you were born is so freshly etched in my mind. Remembering just seconds after your birth, I felt like jumping around like a little kid. Looking at your face and all its beauty brought tears of joy. I counld't wait till Autntie Nancy and Uncle Carlo saw you. To see the look on Luca and theos face brought even more emotion, they were so excited and so gentle. What a wonderful day that was. A day to cherish forever. I loved you from the moment mommy and daddy told me  they were expecting. True love never dies my little beauty. It lights the sky like the candles that are lit every day right here honoring your life. Although we cant touch you, hug and kiss you we can and always will LOVE YOU. ISABELLA, YOU WILL NEVER FADE TO A MEMORY GONE BY. YOU ARE A PART OF US AND THERE YOU WILL STAY.
I LOVE YOU MY SWEET GRANDDAUGHTER. Close

Kristen / Logans Mommy
Kristen.....thank you so much for all of your support, and for being such a good friend. I am glad that we kind of have opposite grief cycles, it seems like we are always able to try to hoist the other one out of the pit. Isabella, as you know, is such a precious, sweet baby girl. And I miss her so much!! I am so heartbroken for you, and she will always have her very own special place in my heart. Lots of love to you tonight, and I hope tomorrow is easier for you.

Missing you..  / Mommy
Isabella I am missing you so badly today and always. It has been 3 months since you became an angel. Where has the time gone? You have now been gone for longer than you were here but in that short time you have left me with so many sweet and beautiful memories. The two proudest days of my life were bringing you and Luca into the world. You are more loved than you could ever know. There is not a time in the day that you are not on my mind.
I carry you with me always and forever in my heart. Ten weeks with you my sweetie was the greatest gift.
I Love You sweetie. Close

Isabella / Mommy
I am missing you so much sweetie. I am always thinking about you and your sweet smile. There is such an emptiness without you here with us. The times that should be happy will always be filled with sadness knowing that there is such an important link missing to our once complete family. 
You Isabella will never be forgotten, you have touched more lives in your short time than others do in a lifetime. 
I love you forever and ever my little sweetie.
Please stay close baby Close

Sweetheart / Bev Gentile (Grandmother)
It feels like yesterday mommy and daddy called to let me know they were headed for the hospital. I remember the excitement, finally we were going to meet you. I couldn't get there any faster. It seemed like mommy was long over due but in fact you were born on your due date, just like mommy was born on her due date. You were born rather quickly, mabey mommy wouln't agree with that~~~Seconds after you were born I remember the tears running down my face, looking at you then looking at your mommy and daddy, and Grammy saying she is beautiful, oh my God she is just beautiful!! And that you are sweetheart.
When I think of such a perfect, healthy beautiful YOU I get so angry and frustrated. That baby book should be filled with all the wonderful things Luca's baby book is filled with. Instead it lays silently with only a few entrys. Life can be so filled with all that is good and within moments your heart and your world can be shredded like ours is now. I am heart sick for you my little girl. Sending you all my Love and a million kisses Sweetie. I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH.  Sending your mommy and daddy hugs and kisses too. I Love you Kristen and Derek.

Missing you so much  / Mommy
Five months old today sweetie, I am missing you more than words could ever express. I can't stop wondering what you would be like today. Since the minute that I woke up this morning I have been looking at the time all day just thinking about exactly what I was doing 5 months ago today at the same moment. I wish so badly that I could go back 5 months and live that day all over again.
When you big brother Luca was a baby I had a baby book and another notebook in that notebook everytime he was a month older I would start a new page and write about all the milestones he had reached over that past month, I am so saddened that I am not doing that today in yours.
Isabella, you were in our arms for such a short time but you will forever be in our hearts.
I miss you so much, I love you baby. Close

Isabella / Maria M. (PW Momma )
Ive been asking myself why god would call on such young people in the world.. I would like to think that he was saving you from something much worse later on.. Maybe that seems stupid, but it helps me to feel more peace about sids, and other illnesses and things that take our children so early.. maybe god has a plan for each person in the world.. I beleive that you surround your family with your presence and that you wait for the reunion with them when they have to leave this world.. I hope that everyone that met you is doing ok.. It must be so hard.. I never even got to meet you and i stilll think of you every day..every time i lay my daughter to sleep.. every time i wake up to her..  just know that you have touched so many people baby girl,, mummys little princess.. You will live on in the hearts of your family that you have here on earth.. xoxoxoxo Close

New Years  / Mommy
Isabella today is New Years day. Today I sit here and reflect on the past year that has past. Last year at this time I was pregnant with you daddy and I and the rest of the family were all starting to get excited about the day you would be born, we were all wondering what you would look like, would you be a girl or a boy? There was just so much excitment. Last year started off so happy and from the New Year on only got better we watched you grow in my belly we found out that you were a girl! We got to see you by ultrasound and then you were born just so beautiful and perfect. After your arrival daddy and I felt like we had it all, that lfe could never be any better. Last year was a wonderful year until October 21 when you left and our world fell apart. It doesn't seem right or fair to start 2007 with you not here with us. I am so sad that there will be no new memories or milestones of you in this year that has just started. I wonder all the time what you would be like right now. I long so badly for all the milestones that we have missed together and all the beautiful little dresses that you never got to wear. I miss your big beautiful smile everyday. I miss you sweetie with every breath I take. You are so missed by everyone who loves you and people that had never met you. I love you so much sweetheart, you will never ever be forgotten. Close

Our Angels  / Shannon Troncoso (Friend of Mommy's )
Kristen & Beverly, 
Thank you both for sharing the love of your sweet Isabella with me, you have both been so constant in your support. You have made the hardest days of my life a little easier. Through the tragedy of losing my Luca I have gained your friendship, I will always be grateful. Wishing you peace and blessings in the New Year. Close

Sweetheart / Bev Gentile (Grandmother)

I am missing you terribly. My world feels so empty without you here. You really made life such a joyous place to be. All the smiles, such happiness. A real love bug. You are such a special little girl.
As for mommy and daddys friends called the SUNFLOWER SWEETIES, these wonderful people come from a web site that mommy  would go to long before you were born. Each one of them would celebrate the birth of each others child. They come from all over the world. When they learned what had happened there was an out pour of saddness it was just like they had known you and your family always. Without hesitation they all got together through e-mails and message boards wondering what they could do to help mommy and daddy. They knew Christmas was right around the corner and knew just how difficult it would be for mommy and daddy. They out did themselves, they sent gifts for your brother Luca and your Uncle Theo. They sent gifts for mommy and daddy too they even sent a gift for your puppy Maggie. There also was donations made to the SIDs foundation so that maybe one day these tragedys will stop. See Sweetheart, do you see how special you are! From one end of the earth to the other, you have touched so many hearts. TO THOSE SUNFLOWER SWEETIES, MY GRADITIUDE IS ENORMOUS. YOU HAVE MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE IN MY KRISTEN AND DEREKS LIVES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WISHING ALL OF YOU A TRUELY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

My Sweet Angel  / Mommy
Well Isabella today is Christmas. It should be a day filled with joy and happiness. Instead it is filled with tears and sadness. I wish so badly that you were here for your first Christmas oh how I was looking forward to seeing you on Christmas morning with excitment in your eyes and a big smile on your face when you would see all the bright colored wrapping paper. Now all daddy and Ian do is wonder how it would have been. I know that Luca and Theo would have been more excited to see how you would be then for themselves. Today and everyday be it a special day or just a regular day there will always be the sadness that you are not here with us. I know right now you are in the loving arms of your grandmother for Christmas, give her a big hug and kiss for me. I miss you so much with every breath I take I love you so much sweetheart.
To any parent who has lost a child who may be reading this God Bless your Heart. 
Please Isabella saty close to us. We love you. Close

My Sweet Granddaughter  / Bev Gentile (Grandmother)
Darling,
   It's Christmas little one. Not that the day makes any difference, really, but it is so painful to know when we wake you won't be here. When Luca was asked what he wanted Santa to bring him he said "I'm going to ask Santa to bring Isabella back and a truck". Out of the mouths of babes as he is only 3. Theo has asked for a cross to wear around his neck so he can feel closer to God, he is almost 10.
We as adults will struggle with this tragedy for eternity. Isabella, such a sweet innocent, happy, healthy  and content baby.  Smiles for everyone! People who have lost a child certainly understand and for those who havent can't fathom what this can actually do to you. I thought I could understand but now I know  I didnt come close to understanding the pain the despare parents, grandparents and close aunts and uncles and friends go through. I wish I still didn't understand. May God Bless all of us and give us the strength to get through tomorrow as this is really a childs day.
I miss you more each day that passes Sweetheart. Life has changed completly. You will NEVER be forgotten. I will remember everything about you. You are so LOVED LITTLE DARLING. Close
