In memory / Laurie
Dear Shannon, You have been in my thoughts so much lately and most of all today!! I know I tell you this but Luca is on my mind everyday. He will always mean so much to me. I hope today is being kind to you. You are in my thoughts today and always! Close
It's the eve of your birthday, almost two years ago your beautiful face came and graced my life. With time I've tried to reconcile the how's and why's, most days I live with peace. Not because I wouldn't give anything to have you with me, but because my peace of mind and that of your father and sisters depends on me learning to cope. I've learned that whenever fall arrives it will always bring with it sadness, sadness of a life that would never get to run it's full course. While I am so very thankful for the eight days I had, what I wouldn't give for one more.
The other afternoon I sat on the sofa and reflected on our time together. Many memories flooded my mind. The fine hair on your little shoulders, how you would crawl up my chest and tuck yourself into a little ball. A part of me wonders if the pain will ever subside, I guess I know the answer- that is no. For as long I live there will always be a part of me that's missing. A longing to hold and love you outside of my dreams. I love you my precious son, you continue to be the miracle of my life.
It has been a very long time since I sat and wrote you a letter, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and most of all miss you. My mind has wandered lately, at times I have let it get away from me. I told myself early on that trying to imagine you any other way than the beautiful baby I last held was pointless, as time goes on it is harder to not imagine and think what if. The rock bottom devastation is gone, but there is always a presence of what we have lost.
Your sister will be turning one shortly, thank you for watching over her; even in death you are an amazing big brother. I had the most comforting thought the other evening, it was storming and the crack of thunder was so loud. I remembered being a child and my father saying to not be scared, that it was the angels in heaven bowling. I hope sweet Luca that you have met your grandfather and that he is keeping you close.
I love you Luca more than words could ever express...what I wouldn't give to have one more minute, day or hour with you. Through the heartache and pain I want you to know I would do it all over again. You continue to be the miracle of my life, I love you always my son.
Hello sweet Luca! I came to visit your site today and I still brings me to tears. I had such a tough day and when I visit you it reminds me to take each day as a blessing and enjoy every minute of it. You are always on my mind sweet boy, as well as your wonderful mommy!
Sweet boy / Ali Masson (MISS Auntie )
Send your Mommy and Daddy and two sisters some angel kisses from Heaven for Christmas. Know that they miss you terribly and wish you were here.

Luca, It has been so long since I have sat to write you a letter, I'm sorry my precious boy. Your baby sister has arrived, thank you for keeping her safe; please continue to look after her. I look at your pictures and my heart breaks, it has been over a year since I held you. Time does not erase the love that I will always have for you, or the emptiness at the reality that you are not here on earth. I love you my precious son, you are in every breath I take and I feel you with every beat of my heart.

Thinking of you / Angie Means (Friend & Angel Mom )
Shannon,
I have thought of you so often in the past couple of months and have hoped with all of my heart that you are doing well. I apologize for not being more faithful in supporting you. You are never far from my thoughts.
Please know that you are in my prayers and that I know that Luca is so proud of you.
Hugs and Love, Angie Means www.jace-means.memory-of.com Close
I love you- / Your Mommy (Mommy)
My sweet Luca, I don't know where to begin my precious boy, I haven't been checking your site as much lately. Sometimes the pain seems to great, looking at your sweet face is a reminder of all that we have lost. The weather has finally started to get nice, another reminder of you. It was this time last year that I was pregnant with you,I was filled with so much hope and optimism. The anticipation of all the joy you would bring, how our family would be complete. I have to remind myself that you are still here, with me. I look at your sister and feel blessed that the two of you resembled eachother so greatly, a moment to gaze into her eyes and feel you even closer. As you know your sister was sick yesterday, I couldn't help but feel that you with there with us. I try so hard Luca to carry on, to be the best I can be- the ultimate reward of knowing I will be reunited with you someday. I'm taking part in a walk this weekend to benefit Tuberous Sclerosis, every step I take will be with you in mind. I love you so much my son, our love will never die.
Your angel / Terri Jones
Such a beautiful baby boy! I can see from your pictures that he was so loved and comforted. There is no more peaceful place on this earth for a child than in his mother's arms. Close

mother's day from heaven / Kristopher Verge's Mommy
A Mothers Day Wish From Heaven by: Jody Seilheimer
Dear Mr. Hallmark, I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear A rather strange idea, I see everything from here. I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven. She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she's cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know that though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so. She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too, Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight. She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth She needs to be honored, and remembered too Just as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you'll do your best I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest. Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity. Close

My precious Luca, Today would be your seventh month birthday, oh how I miss you my beautiful son. Even in death you continue to bless me, I will always be thankful for our brief physical time together. And equally as thankful for the honor of being your mother, I will always be your mother precious boy- loving you all the days of my life.
I don't have to tell you that you are having a little sister, as I know you are holding her hand and keeping her safe for us. Please continue to watch over and protect her. Thank you dear Luca for being such a good big brother.
I love you son, until we meet again- I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.

Images of Angels
You were made in the image of the angels and all that was good up above, A precious little star in the dark night, Made with God's care, and with his love.
The day you were born he couldnt lose you For you were far to beautiful for earth He made a home by his side up in heaven You were taken by the hand after birth
You said, "I must not go and leave my Mommy!"
God said , "There is something that I must let you see. Can You See that light shining down upon your mommy? She has a part of you now for all eternity. She will soon be in heaven here with you, Come now lets go prepare her home For when the time comes for her to see you again, She will realize that she was never left alone."

My precious Luca, I don't know where to begin other than to say I miss you so much my sweet boy. As time goes on it seems that the pain has begun to intensify, the knowledge that I must live my life without you is too much. I long to have you in my arms, and to be the mother I know I can be; and the wife to your Daddy that he deserves. I feel so empty, like the shell of my former being- that moves and goes about life. Not able to find the joy or same level of happiness that I once did. I trust that God shelters you, and that all you know is happiness. That is my one solace, to know you are loved and protected beyond any and everything I could have given you on this earth.
At night in the quiet times my mind flashes back to our brief time together. The thought of your soft sweet skin, remembering the folds in your neck- the little wrinkles about your knees. How precious and small you were, and how for 8 beautiful days you were mine.
I will love you my son, and miss you all the days of my life.

Luca will always be remembered / Mommy To Kristopher
I just wanted you to know I have updated Kristopher's page and added a section for some of the other little angels of ours who have been lost
It feels good to create a memorial of our babies
I am even thinking of opening an online support page for everyone so we can all connect
Seperate from Memory-of eventually
One that I could expand on more
Just letting you know that luca is remembered by this angel mom
And i have added his webpage to Kristopher's memorial section
Precious Luca, I wasn't sure how exactly it would work, having two websites. Today after I finished visiting the new one, I knew I needed to come here to write you a letter. Maybe this is where I will always be connected to the ability to write and tell you how much I love you. And Luca I do love you, oh so very much. Tonight I was giving your sister a bath, and I wondered what would you be doing right now? Would you be watching Mirabella play, and would the two of you be squealing together? I try to not question my sweet boy, because I don't want to take away the beauty of your sweet, perfect existence here. It is so hard Luca, and inside as time goes on I question so many things. Should I have pressed for you to have the surgery?
I have to apologize to you my precious boy, I know sometimes when you look down- you're not happy at what you see. You see me crying, and being angry because your memory isn't being remembered. I know that you want me to just let it all be, and it doesn't matter who remembers- it will always be you and I my sweet boy.
I love you Luca Elio Troncoso, you are the miracle of my life.
My precious baby / Your Mommy (Mommy)
My precious Luca, It has been four months, today, since I held you your small, perfect body and felt it slip away. Four months since I nursed you, and four months since my heart felt complete. I have a lifetime left to live without you precious, and somedays I wonder how it will be. I hear of other mother's speak of their angels and how they feel them near, I don't feel you Luca, why? I'm sorry that you see me cry, and I'm sorry that you see me angry and frustrated. I cry because my heart aches to hold you, and I am frustrated because this isn't who I want to be- for your sake. Your Daddy has come to visit you here recently, that makes me so happy. We are both trying to live our lives, and I think somedays the silent pain we feel might rip us apart. Luca I know I don't have to tell you, because I believe in my heart you helped God orchestrate it; but we're expecting a baby. I feel so badly because I put all of these adult expectations on you. I'm not really giving you time to just enjoy heaven. But please help guide and keep your little brother or sister safe on their journey here. I love you sweet pea, you will always be my heart of hearts, my miracle.

Your story broke my heart / Terralynn Mommy To Kristopher (mommy of his friend kristopher )
I know it seems hard to understand the way God works. I question him every day, for taking Kristopher away from me before I could tell him I loved him, and look into his eyes.
But although, I cannot imagine how hard it must be to have them alive at their birth, only to lose them. I wish some days I had been given that gift just to see his features, and hear him cry just once.
I know like myself your heart is acheing, but take comfort in the thought that he heard your voice, when you whispered you loved him. As I am sure you did everyday he was with you. I am sure he is in heaven with Kristopher, and telling him all about the wonderful family he was given here on earth. ;-)
Luca was a very lucky little boy, to have such a loving family who thinks of him always. Keep your gorgeous little angel close to your hearts. We must believe that we will all see them again.
It is amazing how strangers reach out to help you in your time of need. Maybe that was their purpose here. To bring us all together, to celebrate lives we created, If only for a minute in eternity.
