Your words and expression when sharing about Paul were always overflowing with love and adoration. Thank you for always spreading these beautiful memories. I am so sorry for your sudden loss.

Melissa & Family,

I cannot express my sadness for your loss of little Paul. It was obvious how much he was loved and what joy he was by the way Melissa's eyes sparkled when she spoke of him. Hold your memories in your heart and always know how very lucky he was to have had such a great mother, father and brother. My heart breaks for you as you grieve losing your little boy.

I am not sure I have the words to express how sad I feel for you and your family. I do know I felt like I knew little Paul from following your blog as he grew into a strong little guy.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. My thoughts are with you all daily.

I am a neighbor and friend that you have not met yet. I helped with the meals, Aspen, arranged when sweet Baby Paul came home. I heard from a dear friend that a baby died, but I did not know that he was your Sweet Baby Paul. I have been crying with you since I first heard this tragic news. I will continue to pray that God will somehow give you the strength to survive this. Please remember that even though you have not yet met many of us here in your new neighborhood, WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS AND WE CARE DEEPLY FOR YOU and your entire family. In God's peace, Lyn Petersen

Dear Melissa and Christopher,

My heart hurts for you and I know that no words can take away your pain. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Simply holding Paul in my arms is my greatest memory that I will cherish for my lifetime until I get to hold him again in heaven. I am so privileged that I am your aunt and you will never be far from my thoughts and I will always hold you in my heart. I find myself wondering what Paul and Grandpa T are doing together in heaven. I picture Grandpa holding him and reading him a story. I also picture Grandpa teaching him how to fish. But most of all I picture Grandpa giving him lots of hugs and kissing him with his whiskers rubbing on Paul's precious cheeks. I love you, I love you, I love you...

My thoughts are with all of you at this time .He was a special boy to Grandma and Grandpa and the aunts and uncles as well as mom and dad.I watched him grow and heard all about him from Grandma who loved him so much.

The Wmc ob family ( nurses and physician staff)sends prayers ,hugs and our warmest sympathy to all of you.

Missy and Chris my thoughts and prayers are with you now and in days ahead.
