March 29, 2006 to March 24, 2007

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I say that beautiful little Riley Jane Prochaska went to Heaven yesterday. Her family is obviously devastated and in need of your prayers, so please send them their way.

Riley fought so hard and was 5 days away from her first birthday.

Please head over to Riley's page and leave your condolences.

She will be so missed.

She will be eternally loved.

A HUGE GIANT HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOES TO

AVERY MAE
ZIEBART

Although Avery is no longer here on Earth, she and her phenominal mommy, Lauren are literally changing the world. 

I GIVE MY MOMMY KISSES

I give my mommy kisses

when she’s sleeping in the night,

when she’s driving in her car

and when her face just isn’t bright.

I know my mommy loves me,

and wishes I were there

where she could sit and hold me

and tell me that she cares.

I knew from very long ago

she would give her life for me

but I had many things to do

so much she couldn’t see.

I give my mommy kisses

for every tear she cries.

She doesn’t know why I am gone

although I know she tries.

I kneel when she is praying

for answers as to why.

I wave here from the Heavens

when she looks up to the sky.

I smile when she speaks my name

and calls me ‘little one.’

I see the veil across her eyes

blocking out the sun.

If only I could tell her

and let her feel my touch

So I give my mommy kisses

so her heart won’t hurt so much.

Don't forget to check out "Avery's First Year" - the new video (above) for Lauren and Avery.

It was sent to her via mail, and she has already seen it. I forgot to ask her if she was OK with me posting it....I hope she is! It is 10 minutes long....so sit back, and enjoy the beauty of this wonderful little girl!
