God's Child On Loan  / Teresa Luden (Family Friend )

"I'll lend to you for a little time,
A child of mine," God said,
"For you to love while she lives
And mourn for when she's dead."

"It may be six or seven months
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you till I call her back,
Take care of her for me?"

"She'll bring her charms to gladden you
And should her stay be brief,
You'll have these precious memories
To comfort you through grief."

"I cannot promise she will stay
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn."

"I've looked this world over,
In my search for teachers true.
In the crowds of this great land,
I have selected you."

"Now will you give her all your love
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take her back again?"

It seems to me I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joys a child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run."

"We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay."

"And should the angels call for her
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

Thoughts and prayers  / Stephanie Sperling
From one aunt to another...

I know how hard today was... We lost my baby niece 6 months ago this coming Friday and I see how sad my sister is. I can feel her pain along with my own. If I could bring Olivia back for her to hold I would in a heartbeat. My heart hurts for your family. Just know that Addie has touched more lives then you will all ever know. I pray for you sister and her family( being a mother myself) and I pray for the rest of you knowing what pain and sorrow you are feeling.

With thoughts and prayers...

Beautiful Heart  / Princess Alina's Mommy (Friend Always )

The tattoos you are asking about are my husband's arm's, I also have one on my right forearm but not quite ready to put it up on her sight yet, I'll put it up soon so you can see it. Some people like to be judgemental but dosen't get to me, I know why I have it and the meaning to it. Well enough of my tatto, I really do hope you, Kari and family are doing a bit better, it's a long journey, but together we can make the pain a little better. Always know I keep you all in my thought's, heart and prayer's♥  Just picture sweet Addi and Alina playing patty-cake together, awwh the best picture ever.

Beyond Missed Addi  / Alba~Mommy To Princess Alina Nevaeh (Friend Always )

Oh Kimberly how you fill my heart with joy, I have been feeling so depressed and just not me, and just when I wanted to give up I read his beautiful message and bring's me such joy, like if you knew something was wrong. I feel I have to be helping you and your family be stronger and not feel so sad, my appologies,  Thank you for giving me and my family all your love, prayer's and thought's. Addi is beyond missed, If I could I would change thing's and bring your angel back. I have such peace knowing My Alina Nevaeh and Addison are playing, flying hand in hand, watching us waving hi, and shouting we love you both so much♥ 

For Mommy and Daddy

A perfect baby we created, one that was mine. Then that tragic day it came, there was nothing we could do, only hope and pray for the precious life of you. Daddy loves you so much this I know, as he cried for you that day when the doctor said he had to let you go. He held you close to him and didin't want to let go. A gift of Daddy's love would have kept you safe and warm. Only now you are an angel over us, beautiful as can be. We will come with you someday only now it's not our time. I count the day's til we can see you again. Then we will be together again, again you will be mine.

Love Always

Alba and Family

My mommy is a survivor  / Kimberly Mulligan (Aunt)

My Mommy is a survivor

My Mommy 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 does not  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 Mommy, who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others...a smile of disquise.

But through Heavens door, I see tears flowing from her eyes.

My Mommy tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.

But anyone who knows her knows it's her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving Mommy...through Heavens open door.

I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more.

But I know that doesn't help or ease the burden that she bears.

So if you get a chance, go vist her...and show her that you care.

For no matter what she says...no matter what she feels.

My surviving Mommy has a broken heart that time won't even heal.

For Kimberly  / Noah Morell's Mommy (angel friend )

Thank you for your kind words. I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious niece Addison. While my situation is not the same, I know how it feels to stand by helplessly as your child slips away. It is the most horrible thing any parent can ever face. I understand your pain. My sister and I are very close as well. In fact I couldn't go back to our house after we left the hospital that night so we stayed at my sister's until after Noah's service. She and my mother-in-law took care of Everything, as I wished I could just fall into an abyss. Please know that you can email me anytime if you ever need to talk. As survivors, we are left to be here for one another.

With love & prayers, Emelita Morell

Little Angel Missed  / Jenn Fisher (Freind of Kim and Rich )

A few weeks ago our nephew passed away and this was given to us . I think of Addison when I read it also.

Little Angel Missed

We miss our little angel. So infinitely dear...We shared a whole lifetime of love, In your short lifetime here. If it had been within our power We'd not have let you go... And yet, we trust the One who said He loved the children so. And though the years will pass-"time heals all wounds ." they say. We'll always miss our angel sweet- The one who went away. But we can smile -For up in heaven. Where little ones are kissed-We know you're in Jesus' arms. And never, ever missed.

We pray every day for all of you and know that Addison will be with you  always.        Love, Jenn,Ray, Alyssa and Madison Fisher

ADDISON IS STILL STILL HERE, THE ONLY DIFFRENCE IS, SHE TRADED HER PRETTY PINK DRESS AND BOW, FOR SNOW WHITE WING'S AND A HALO. LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU KARI AND FAMILY.

letter from heaven  / Brooke Ramey (cousin)

I read this letter online ant thought it might offer you some comfort, i am so sorry for you loss and only wish i had the chance to meet your precious angel

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
