Dear little one, we look forward to the day we will meet you again in Heaven. We love you very much and would have enjoyed watching you grow to be a man, but God had other plans. Now that you are with God, we ask that you watch over us and pray for your family and friends until we meet face to face in Heaven and can embrace you once again. Prayers and blessings to Kristen and Billy for their grief and loss, and for all who loved Ash – we will always be here for you. Love, The Lambins

I’m so sorry I didn’t have a chance to meet you, my little cousin. You looked very sweet in the pictures your mom posted on facebook, especially when you were in your Santa costume. In memory of you, your great Auntie Jenn (my mom) painted the “Adonis Branch” off a birch tree on a wall in the music room in our house. You’re in God’s hands now, and I can picture Jesus holding you right now, and you’re happy. I’m looking forward to meeting you in heaven, my sweet cousin Adonis, and may the Lord bless you. I’ll be praying for your family as they go through this tough time. Revelation 22
I love you,
your cousin Lissa
Iris Revai says

Precious two
Not yet due
New lives in the NICU
Baby boys
Too young for toys
Bringing family tears of joy
Babies blink
Was that a wink?
Grandma�۪s playing games, I think.
Babies sigh
Was that a cry?
Nurses always close by.
Stretch and wiggle
Makes me giggle
Watch those babies squirm and squiggle.
Mommy�۪s song
It won�۪t be long
You�۪ll come home when you are strong.

One is gone
Not home long
Went away with the dawn
Not just sleeping
Family weeping
Close eye on the other keeping.
Family praying
Friends are saying
Hope the other one is staying.
Baby brother
Will miss the other
When it�۪s time for him to discover
Little family
Filled with love
For the one who is now above
One is left
Now half of two
Adonis Steven we will all miss you!
Christine L. Cajka (Ash�۪s grandmother – blessed to have known him for his brief time with us)
