Sadie Grace Pomeroy
Sadie Grace Pomeroy is our beloved 14 month old daughter, who went to Heaven on October 5th 2007. Sadie was born with trisomy 18 on August 16th, 2006.
We found out about Sadie's condition at 20 weeks gestation. We knew from the start that we would always keep her. We treated her with as much care, respect and attention that we gave to her three brothers. Why not? What had changed? Simply the fact that we found out that Sadie had trisomy 18.
The following 20 week march to get to full term (40 weeks) was a tough one. We are forever thankfull to Sadie's wonderful Mother Tracy who was so strong and brave and believed in Sadie while being continually faced with harsh statistical odds and professionals that kept deferring to the tragic scenarios that loomed. Our miracle came true and it was all worth it when we met Sadie face to face on her birthday August 16th 2006.
This was a glorious, yet scary day for our family. The professionals had us expecting and anticipating the worst, but Sadie lived. She breathed on her own and was able to eat. We brought her home after just 3 days in the hospital.
Our love and appreciation for each day that our family was able to be with Sadie became our source of energy and motivation.
Soon we transitioned from fearing the worst into a wonderful thing called "Living in the Moment". Enjoying today for what it is. Living life. Celebrating Life. And our family did just that.
Great Moments:
*Sadie was Born August 16th, 2006. Sadie was baptized moments after birth by Father Dan.
*August 19th Sadie came home from the hospital.
* 1 Week Old birthday - Sadie celebrated weekly birthday parties every Wednesday. We gave her a cake and candle plus singing from the family. Sadie lived to celebrate 59 birthdays.... Every one was one to remember.
*25 days old Sadie was Christened at Church with over 150 people celebrating the occasion.
*1st Halloween - Sadie dressed up as a doctor for Halloween and went trick or treating. Tracy found her costume a Build-a-Bear.
*100 days old - Sadie and her family went to cut down a Christmas Tree. Sadie and her brothers loved decorating the tree.
*Sadie celebrated her first Christmas.
*6 months old Sadie celebrated by having a beautiful tea party with 65 guests. Her
brothers and father served tea and desserts to her and her mother.
*11 months old Sadie and her family went on vacation to Loon Mountain, NH
*1 Year old Birthday party (365 days old). Sadie celebrated by having 325+ guests attend her birthday party. The theme was a "Carnival" which included pony rides, animal show, games, clowns, balloons, cake. Over 25 of our friends and neighbors volunteered to help make this occassion a great success.
*415 days old - Sadie went to Heaven while in her Mother's arms and Father's arms. She was peaceful.
*Oct. 8th, 2007. Sadie had a beautiful funeral service lead by Father Dan and Pastor Bob. Nearly 200 people attended to say goodbye.
*Forever- Sadie will always be remembered. Sadie mattered. Sadie made a difference. She was loved, and taught us all what love, and life were about. Having her in our life was such a wonderful gift.
Our Message to Sadie:
Sadie Grace Pomeroy
Dear beloved daughter, sister, grand-daughter, niece, cousin, friend.
It was once said, "The secret to life is what you add to it".....
Sadie, you have absolutely added miracles to our lives.
We want to thank you for the wonderful 415 days that you spent with us.
You have inspired us all, and taught us a deeper understanding of love and life.
Your strength, courage, and love are truly amazing.
We will love you forever and carry all of our precious memories until we meet again.
We miss you dearly and will always remember your smile, and the love that we shared. As painful as it is to think about life without you,
we will march on with life and always remember
the lessons that you have taught us.
*Live in the moment and enjoy it. No matter how healthy you are, tomorrow is never sure.
*The secret to life is what you add to it..............ADD SOMETHING.
We love you sweetheart.
God Bless you.

You and I have never met, but I feel I know you. I work at school with your Mommy. How lucky for you to have such a beautiful Mom. I love looking at your pictures. Mommy gave me a bracelet for Olivia. (How I would loved for you to get together with her. I think you two would have been quite the companions!) Olivia loved her bracelet and wore it in her pictures the other day. We call it her Sadie bracelet. I thank you and Mommy for all the support and peace you give me. Someday we will meet! In the mean time watch over us!
Love, Beth
Do you know how much I LOVE YOU??? I think about you ALL the time. Wish you were here. Braden continues to sleep in your room. He calls it his "Sadie Room". He is taking good care of it. He even has a "Keep Out" sign on the door. Very protective of your things. Love you Forever!
Love,
Mommy

I think of you all the time. Wish you were here! I love you Queenie!! I miss hearing GiGi call you that!

I have seen a bunch of costumes that I know you would look so sweet in. I even saw a sweet little ladybug the other day. I continue to wish I had tried on your flower costume when we bought it. I really wanted it to be a surprise, however, you had to leave before then. I think you would have made the prettiest flower around. I often see you in it, and think about how perfect it was for you, as was your Build a Bear surgeon suit. I am so grateful that we had the one Halloween together. We were blessed to have 1 of everything. I miss you! Thinking about you all the time.
All My Love,
Mommy
xoxoxoxo....
I love you!!

Camden
Thinking of you on this very sad day. We miss you!!!
All My Love,
Mommy
xoxoxox....
Thought about you all day yesterday,as I was overwhelmed with missing you!! I love you! All your special friends and family attended Mass, but I am sure you know that. Daddy especially missed you at the wedding as he had such dreams of dancing with you one day. Remembering the way Daddy would hold you and dance around the house with you. When he meets you in heaven one day, remember that he'll want to dance with his Princess. We all miss you terribly. We will never forget the love you showed us and continue to show us.
Love Always,
Mommy
xoxoxo
are not sick anymore and you are not suffering. Your family sure is blessed to have a beautiful angel watching over
them! I love you sadie!
God bless,
A friend
Has it really been a year since you went to heaven? We went to your church today where Mommy, Daddy, and your big brothers had Mass held in your Memory. I think of you every day. It breaks my heart to see your family so sad w/out you. I know you're still here in spirit looking over them. Just want you to know how many lives you've touched and how much you're missed. Love you sweet Sadie!!
Thinking of you every minute. Remembering our visit at the hospital last year. Remembering how calm you were and how Daddy and I enjoyed holding you all those hours.. You were just so tired, as you could not sleep without having apnea. Daddy and I just prayed that it would go away, as we so wanted you to come home with us. Well, that wasn't meant to be. So many "What If's" run through my mind. I hope you know that Daddy and I did what we absolutely thought was the best thing for you. Had we know that things would have gone so wrong, we would have never opted for the surgery. When you came back and were able to breath, I remember thinking we should have done it a long time ago, as it was just so nice to see you breathing without struggling. Because of the outcome, I am so glad we didn't do it earlier, as we would have missed out on so many wonderful moments with you. I think about you all the time, as I miss your smell, and your soft skin touching mine. I will never forget our time together nor will I ever forget the love you brought into my life. I hope you will always know how grateful I am to be your Mommy. So blessed that God chose me to take care of you, until it was time when he would want you back. I only wish we had more of you. God Bless you, my sweet Angel. You are always in my thoughts and in my heart.
I Love You all the way to heaven and back!!!!!!
Love,
Mommy

Thinking of you.
Love Always, Your Greatest Fan,
Mommy
xoxoxoxo....
I continue to think of you each and every day! I find myself wanting to tell everyone at school all about you. Soon they will all know about the miracle you are to us and how much our angel is loved. I'd do anything to be home with you; holding you, kissing you, hugging you, loving you. I miss your sweet little giggle. Daddy was so great at getting you to do that. You thought he was all that. He misses you terribly too!!! We all do. Thinking of you today and ALWAYS. We truly are so blessed to a have you as our daughter!
All my love,
Mommy
xoxoxoxo...
Just wanted to stop by and write to you. Jocelyn misses you and was talking about you the last night alot.
I hope you are enjoying your time with JESUS. Im quite sure you are.
As I have mentioned before I wish I got the chance to meet you, I see just how important you are through my daughters eyes....
She truely loves you and will always have a special place in her heart for you!!!!
God Bless YOU--- SADIE!
Eleven months and I still miss you every bit as much as I did when you first left us. Our family was so blessed to have been loved by you! You're always in my thoughts. I miss you, I miss you, I miss you!!!!! Wanting you back so badly, but glad that you are happy and healthy in God's Heavenly Kingdom.
Love you FOREVER!
Love,

room which you entered was transformed. Each person in the room
seemed to be drawing breath in unison with you. Everyone cried,
clinging to the moments, having been prepared to lose you within a
very short time. Yet, despite the odds, you survived!
You became the central heartbeat of your entire family. You seemed to
have an almost mystical presence. Your eyes sought the world of your
mom, dad, and your three brothers. You appeared to look upon everyone
with a depth and stillness which feels impossible to convey with
words. Friends and family reported to your mom and dad that they felt
changed by the experience of being with you. A few wondered, "Where
was God to allow an innocent baby to be born with so many problems and
so little chance of survival?" I know the answer to that question.
Where was God?
God was there in your parents, who challenged opinions about your
right to be born, who were determined that you should have all the
benefits of family, love, home, and healthcare, and who at the same
time accepted that God's will would prevail and they would be obedient
servants. God was there when mommy and daddy selflessly turned their
lives over to you and guarded you each night and day with every fiber
of their being. He was there in the courage of your mommy and daddy
allowing themselves to love you passionately and risking the horrific
pain of losing you in a short time. God was there in your parents who
valiantly struggled to live joyfully in the moment and who celebrated
each day of your life and chose to share your beauty with the world.
God was in your young big brothers who, despite having to share their
parents and see them tired and worried, loved you with such tenderness
and care.
God was in Gigi, who was on call night and day for any emergency in
which she was frequently called to support your mommy and daddy.
God was there in Father Dan, who rushed into the delivery room with
such love and passion and determination that you should be dedicated
to God. In his tenderness on looking upon you and talking to you. In
his complete faith, support and love for you and your family.
God was present in Pastor Bob, who comforted and blessed you and your
family each step of the way. I shall never forget his prayer shortly
before you were born, asking God to put his arms around you and your
family.
God was present in the community of your church. In each prayer and
act of love and support.
He was there in all of the doctors and nurses and therapists who made
valiant efforts to assist your tiny body, and who fell in love with
your powerful being.
God was surrounding you when your neighbors and friends came forward
with help of every kind. He was present in the relatives and friends
who came to celebrate your miraculous one year birthday.
Most of all Sadie, God was in you. In your determination to live; in
your eyes seeking the soul of those you looked upon; in the blessed
smile you bestowed on so many, as if to convey you were okay and life
is good. God was in your gaze of grace, opening hearts and
transforming so many of the people who you looked upon. Your
magnificent being was God's presence on earth, burning so brightly and
briefly, teaching gratitude, compassion and love.
Sadie Bug, God is still here through you. In the beautiful Angel of
Hope Memorial Garden inspired by your beautiful brief life and in the
transformation of so many people through knowing you.
I celebrate the second anniversary of your birth with humble gratitude
and love for the light you brought to the world.
I carry you forever in my heart.
Love, Nana
Sorry I missed you second birthday and the Angel dedication. We were camping in VT, just like we were on your first birthday! I feel so badly that I keep missing your big days! I did say a prayer for you and your family on your birthday, as I was looking out over a beautiful sunset on Lake Champlain. You are always in my heart.
Tara
Love you Sadie
Nancy
Happy 2nd Birthday. We hope you had a great day. We felt your presence at the Angel Memorial. So many families were there to remember their Angels. Your love, spirit, and courage has inspired us to build this memorial that is serving so many families. Thank you my love. Many of your Dr's attended, another sign that you touched so many. We all wore pink, (our favorite color).
Thank you for the rainbow, and the sunshine. Thank you for giving me the strengh and courage to live life to the fullest and thank you Most of all for the sense of HOPE that you have shared with the World.
I love you Sadie,
Love,
Daddy, Mommy, Lucas, Camden, Braden, Gigi...
Wow, 2 years old already! Where did the time go? Remembering with fondness the day you were born. How blessed I felt to have met you, and how blessed I continued to feel each day I got to keep you.
We spent our day yesterday celebrating you. Braden is wondering if you got the balloons we sent to you? He helped me pick out the big #2 balloon for you. Our Angel dedication was so special, as Daddy spoke of you and the miracle you are to us. Did you send the rainbow over us? Everyone who saw it thought it was beautiful.. I especially love that you sent that picture to me. Daddy and I were in disbelief when trying to delete pictures for memory in the camera, and a picture of you showed up from last March. It was an amazing way to say hello to us! We love those signs, keep them coming. I bet you were so proud of Daddy, as I was. Although I think he gives me too much credit, as it was always God's plan for me to be your mommy. There were never any choices about it. You were meant to be mine, and I was meant to be yours, even if only for a short time. How blessed I am that Jesus chose me to take care of you for him, until it was time that he would want you back. What an honor it is to be your mother. So, although I am late writing to you, I want you to know that I thought about you every minute of your special day and about the love that we share. You will always be my princess. May you always know how much you have changed my life and stengthed my faith and hope.
Happy 2nd Birthday My love,
Love,
Mommy
p.s. Please watch over GiGi, as I know how sad and lonely she is without you!
You picked the most amazing family to be a part of. The amount of love and devotion your family has is extraordinary. I miss seeing you in church and admiring how much you look just like your mother. We pray and think about you and your family each day.
I bet birthdays are extra special in heaven.
Love,
The Bruneau family
Happy Birthday we will all be thinking of you tomorrow.
xoxo
p.s. can you do anything about the weather.
I have never written to you before - I have been at a loss for words. I am going to sing for you tomorrow at the Angel of Hope dedication. I think now that you must have sent the words and music to me from Heaven so I could write it all down and sing it for your birthday! I know that your mom and dad and brothers have been working very hard to get the Angel ready. You must be very proud of them! I continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. You are missed by many. Happy Birthday. With hope,
Mary Jo Rett
I watched you from afar, I looked forward to seeing you every week in church. You and your family are so inspirational. To bad for me I was afraid to approach you, to afraid of the pain I would feel when you left us. I thought it wouldnt hurt so much if I didnt know you, I was wrong, the pain came anyway and i missed the opportunity to know an angel.You have left many life lessons to all who were blessed by your presence.So happy birthday Sadie, I can only imagine the work you are doing now.
With love and admiration to you and your family.
A secret admirer
Ten months ago today, we let you go. Your Mommy and I, and your Brothers love and miss you very much. We think about you every day. The Angel Memorial is under construction. The dedication will be on your 2nd birthday. What a special day for the dedication to take place. We carry you in our hearts always, and every step that we travel. We love you Sweetheart. Love, Daddy, Mommy, Lucas, Camden, Braden xoxoxoxo
Another sleepless night without you!! How I wish you were here to keep me company. Remembering all of our late nights together. I imagine you looking at me as I type on the computer, anxious to be up and bouncing around. Oh, how I miss you on my shoulder, kissing your cheeks and the smell of your skin and hair. I pray that you know how much I love you. My heart is so broken, now that you are gone, never to be mended. I continue to think about you all the time. I miss being your Mommy. My world is a better place because of you! I love you all the way to Heaven and back.
Love Always,
Mommy

Even though I never got to meet you, I feel as though I did. That being through Miss Jocelyn. I have to tell you first just how PROUD she was of you!!! When she would come home from spending time with you, she would always say with a smile how much she LOVED you...
I really just wanted to let you know and your mom and dad, and brothers know the difference you made in my Jocelyn's life, I have to THANK-You for that....
Your invitation to the ceremony is right on the fridge where Jocelyn placed it.
You are truely an angel and have won the hearts of so many people that express how much they love and miss you.. God Bless You Sadie...
Love, Kristen ( Jocelyn Madore's Mom)
I asked Mommy to send you an invitation for the Angel dedication today. She said you didn't need one because you were already going to be there. Is this true? I think about you all the time. Everytime Daddy plays that Angel video, I cry. I cry because I miss you so much. Seeing your pictures makes me miss you even more. I miss playing with you and kissing you. Mommy says you are with me all the time and that you will look out for me,,,I hope so. I just wish you were here. I love you!!
Love Always,
Your Big Brother, Brady-Bug ( my new name. I asked Mommy to call me that because it reminds me of you..Sadie Bug!!
xoxoxxo
I love you sweetheart. The Angel Memorial will be built in the next few weeks. The dedication is on your two year birthday. We will have a big cake for you. Your Mommy, the Boys and I think about you every day. We love you Sadie,
Love Daddy.
Here I am again saying goodbye to you this morning on your 9 month anniversary. I dream of you often and pray that you are happy and healthy. It is so hard for me, as I reflect on what could have been and maybe decisions that may have made things different for your outcome. I know in my heart that you are where you need to be as your body was struggling so hard to survive, but it doesn't make my saddness any less. I continue to miss you so much each day. I so wish God had made you a healthy baby girl and that you would be mine to keep. I will be thinking of you tonight. As others are celebrating the summer, Daddy and I will be celebrating the love that you bring to us each day. I often think about our summer time together in New Hampshire last year...you were so happy(well, as long as you weren't out in the heat). You and I had a lot of bonding time as your brothers and Dad went out on adventures. One of my favorite pictures is the one of you sucking your thumb under the tree at Clark's. I bought a Tinker Bell frame for it in Disney. There were so many Princess things there that reminded me of my Princess...YOU. God Bless you and Keep you always. I Love you!!
Love,
Mommy

I miss you terribly here in California. I wish you were physically with us. It feels a little like we have left you behind. Felt you at the beach though. I miss you more and more with each new day. So sad without YOU!!!! Braden brought a few of your things, he just couldn't leave them behind. You know what I brought. I love you and miss you sooo much.
Love,
Mommy
xoxoxoxox.....
It is an absolute honor to be your father. I loved our time together. I miss holding you in my arms and looking into your big blue eyes, and adoring your beautiful smile. Mommy, Lucas, Camden, Braden and I, talk about you every day. You will always be in our hearts. Our family is blessed to have you as our daughter and sister. The Angel Memorial Garden we are building in memory of you and all other children who have passed, was approved to be built at Peaceful Pond. We are working hard to have the dedication on your birthday. We know you are helping us with the process. We feel you near us and it is so nice to be working to raise the donations and spend that time together as a family and thinking of you. I love you sweetheart. God bless you. xoxoxoxo
Love, Dad.
Wow, 8 months. You woke me again. Always at the same time. I hope this will always be a sign from you. I remember well the day you left to meet Jesus. Although I was happy that God granted you peace, I was so so sad that I would no longer be able to kiss you. I remember fondly our time together, your smell, your touch, your bright blue eyes. How I miss you more and more with each new day. I love you sweet Angel of mine. Wish you were here. I hope you will always know how special you are to me.
All my love,
Mommy
xoxoxoxox....
I am doing a science project on Trisomy 18....and the stories I have read are so sad. But yours...you celebrate her life..I dont know u, but I can not even imagine what losing a child was like. Please know your daughter and the rest of your family are eternally in my prayers.
To Sadie: What a strong girl! As you are up in heaven please know your family is not wallowing that you left them to go meet God, but celebrating the days you gave them to be with you.
You have touched so many lives and you dont even know it
I continue to think about you all the time. I am sorry that somebody took your flowers from the cemetery. I am going to Lucille's tomorrow to try and replace the plant. It was just perfect for you...beautiful and very pink!! I love you. Wishing you were here all the time. I imagine what we would be doing or how our day might be different if you were with us physically. Your brothers are getting so big and missing you terribly. Braden wears his bracelet often, and Lucas bought himself a pink bracelet the other day at the zoo. I think it reminds him of you. Camden says he thinks about you all day at school when he is doing his work. He still has a hard time talking about you, it makes him cry. He misses you so much. We all love you and wish we could have you back, only healthy.
All My Love Sweet Baby Girl!

Mommy

Braden has picked out your clothes for California. He thinks we need to bring them. One of them has your Pedialite all over it,,,it is very orange(your drink of choice).

You have been blessed with so many friends. The golf tournament was such a huge success and the weather ended up great afterall. I am thinking you had something to do with that!! I missed you terribly yesterday!!! I wish you were here. Somedays, not sure how I get by without you. Thank God for your brothers, they keep me very busy.
Well, the Angel is on her way. She should be here in a month or so, and now we have enough money to begin construction. Just need the land. We continue to pray for the perfect spot. Thanks for all your help. We love you and miss you all the time.
Love Always,
Mommy

Wow, now it has been 7 months since your arrival into Heaven. I miss you more and more with each new day. How can it be 7 months since I've held you in my arms? I feel you often, as I know you are with me. Thinking of you all the time. Still makes me so sad when I see little baby girls. I often just think of what could have been, but was not meant to be for us. I feel so blessed for the time that we had together, but always prayed for more. I love you, my sweet Pricess Sadie. Wish you were here.
Love,
Mommy
xoxoxoxoxo
Heard you are with Pepe', makes me happy to know. I love him dearly, and I am glad he was there waiting for you. Give him a kiss for me. I am missing you terribly, and continue to think of you all the time. You'll always be my Princess! Wishing you were here with me at this early a.m. hour, it is not the same without you. I miss your company. Still can't watch Conan. Imagine, at the time you were here, I was wishing we were sleeping, now I would do anything to be up all night with YOU. I love you,,,,forever!
Love,
Mommy

Not a day passes in our home without thinking of you! Kevin and I smile when we see your picture in his room and on our fridge. We are going to visit your family in June... sadly, it won't be the same without you there. Kevin says he is going to bring something from Texas to put in your special garden. I know you are happy and loving being in Heaven, but so many people miss you on Earth. Hugs and kisses to a very special angel!!Love, Janet and Kevin
xoxoxoxo
I am thinking of you!! We bought some plants and flowers for your garden and for your spot at the cemetery. Braden and I are planting your special bulbs next week. They are pink, your favorite. I miss you terribly. God Bless you!~

Mommy

I thought about you all day from the minute I woke up at 5:03 a.m.. Amazing that it was the time when you were getting ready to leave for Heaven. I was thinking that maybe it was your way of saying hello to Me. I miss you so much. My heart is so broken without you. Six months already,,,,1/2 of a year without kissing my sweet angel. I still can feel you on my shoulder and the smell of your sweet skin, and your soft, soft hair rubbing up against my face. Oh what I wouldn't do to have you back in my arms. I hope you like the flowers, although I know they are not pink. I love you forever!!! Missing you, Missing you, Missing YOU!!!!
All My Love,
Mommy
xoxoxxoxo
I'm so sorry it has taken me six months to sign your guest book. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and how blessed I am to have known you. God couldn't have chosen a better family for you. To see the way your smile lit up a room always melted my heart and gave me hope. You will forever remain in my heart sweetie.

I saw this quote in the newspaper yesterday, and it reminded me of you. "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." What a treasure you will always be to me and our family. I love you, and with each new day, I miss you more and more.

Wow, 4 months since you've left. I am so sad without you. I woke up early in the a.m. and said goodbye to you all over again. Letting you go was the hardest day of my life. I knew you were tired and very sick, but still I wanted you to stay. As Pastor Bob prayed God grant you mercy, I realized that I was praying for the wrong thing. I was praying that God not take you yet, but Pastor Bob was right, it was more important that God grant you peace and mercy. It was selfish of me to ask that you stay, as you were so sick, so many days. God gave us 415 days, and for that I will always be grateful, but still I wanted more. I know now that you are happy and well and although I miss you terrible, I will look forward to the day when I will see you again. I miss you more and more with each new day. They say time helps, for me it does not. It just reminds me of how long it has been since I kissed your sweet face. Please know how much I love you and how much you will always mean to me and our family. Sweet dreams my precious daughter!
Love and kisses,
Mommy
Talk about you all the time.
Love Always,
Your Big Brother,
Braden and Baaabsy too!!!

I miss you more than words can say. When I was at church on Wednesday, I kept feeling as though you were right there on my shoulder. I could almost smell you and feel your hair against my face. Life continues to be so lonley without you. Heaven sure is lucky to have an angel like you. Thinking of you always. Wow, almost 4 months since you left, feels like yesterday, but at times feels like a lifetime since I've touched you.
All my love,
Mommy

Im always here looking at the site and i never could write anything because i never knew what to say. I got to be at your first birthday with you and your family. You looked absolutely gorgeous and when u looked at me i knew u were here for a reason; you changed my life. I wish you could just know the affect you have on everyone. You are so missed and so loved. I have a research paper to write in class and i couldn't think of anything to write about until i thought about you and how everyone should be educated on your disease. Well sleep well and we will talk soon.

We just had Auntie Tina's surprise party. We sure missed you. I know she thinks about you all the time too. Wishing you were here to celebrate with her and all of us. A celebration just isn't the same without YOU!! I love you! See you in my dreams. Goodnight my sweet angel!
Love, Mommy

Missing you terribly. Thinking about you all the time. So sad without YOU!!
Love, Mommy xoxoxoxoxo.....
I was so happy to spend lots of time with you. I have a picture of you and me in my room. It makes me smile and it makes me sad sometimes becuase I won't see you when I visit your family this summer. There is a picture of you and your brothers on our fridge too. What is Heaven like? I miss you.
Love, Kevin
Thinking of you all the time!!! Miss feeding you and rocking you! I love you.

Happy New Year!! We missed celebrating with you last night. I am wondering how it can be such a great new year without you? I miss you terribly. Thinking of you always. I've put little lady bugs around the house. When I see one, I stop and think about a wonderful moment with you. I think about your wonderful smile and big blue eyes too. I continue to find comfort in knowing that you are in the arms of Jesus and that you are happy and healthy, sometimes the only way I can get through the day, as my heart is so broken without you!! God Bless You, My Sweet Sadie Grace.
All My Love,
Mommy

We all miss you so much. When we opened up many of our presents, we received an extra surprise in each of them...Braden had put a picture of you in each of them when he was helping Mommy wrap the gifts. It was wonderful to see your smiling face. He also wrapped up the big picture collage board that Mommy made for your Birthday party. He gave the wrapped board to me as a Christmas gift. It was the best gift of them all. Your brothers have been busy playing with their gifts. On Christmas Eve we went to the cemetary to sing christmas carols and remember You. We also stopped by on Christmas to pray some more. Your Love is burning strong in our hearts. We love you Sadie. God bless you.... Love Daddy.
merry christmas sweet heart
Love Always,
Mommy

You entered my mind again today. I'm sorry we never met. The moment I saw your picture your spirit spoke to me deeply and I will never forget you. I often pray that Mom, Dad, Lucas, Camden and Braden find comfort in knowing that Jesus holds you forever in his arms. Thank- you for touching my heart.
Braden and I have been thinking of you all day. He was wishing you could come to the movies with us. Happy Christmas Eve. We love you and miss you. Christmas just won't be the same with out you!!! Remembering our time together last Christmas. I especially loved you in your Santa dress. How blessed we were to have you!!! We'll miss you at church, but will think of you the whole time.
Love Always,
Mommy and Braden too!

Here I am again, at the 3:00 hour, waiting for you to call me. I miss you terribly. Thinking of you every minute. Our family just isn't the same without you. I am asking Jesus to give you a kiss for me. So glad you are healthy, just wish you could have been healthy here. I miss taking care of you and being your Mommy. Shopping just isn't the same without picking out something for little Miss "Quennie". "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be!"--A favorite story of mine, that we never got to share. Sleep well my angel, and know thay you are always in my thoughts and in my heart.
Love Your Biggest Fan,
Mommy
I was not lucking enough to have met you. However I once lived near your family, so I know what wonderful people God surrounded you with. You could not have been given to a more loving family. You truly are the face of a miracle. Your story has touched my life.
I miss that you don't play with me anymore. I love you soooooooo much. I am taking very good care of your Lamby. He helps me when I am sad.
Love Your Big Brother Braden

Your Mommy & Daddy wanted a baby instead they had an Angel.
You touched us all so much I thought I could be a big part of your exceptional life.But really you were a big part of my mine.God knew what he was doing when he picked your family they love and miss you so much "keep saying HI to Braden in your special way" You did so much when you were here with us (Sadie the fisher of men)
you are still inspiring us all.
Always a sweet memory in our Hearts
I miss seeing you to much! But I know that your in a better place now!But the most thing I miss about you is your laugh and smile.It was so gentle and soft.Like a small angle!I love you and I promise I will write more to you soon!XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Sorry it has taken me so long. I try to make it like it is a bad dream. You are missed so much. Your Mommy, Daddy and Brothers are so strong. I know we didnt spend that much time together but, I know how much happiness you brought to everyone. When I first saw you, to talking to mom on the phone, it was like forever and I will never forget those moments. I love you
Miss you, Miss you, Miss you!!! Thinking about you ALL the time. Wondering what you are doing. Camden is taking your Red Sox cap to school tomorrow for Show and Tell. It is very special to him. Braden thinks that when a raindrop falls on his eye that you are saying hello to him, is this true? Lucas made a bracelet with your name on the beads. Rachel made a beautiful picture of me holding you and requested many pictures of you. Madison wished upon a star that you could come back to us. We all miss you so much. How does life go on without our Sweet Sadie Grace? I love you more than you could ever know. Dreaming of kissing your little cheeks again and playing touch-down and "patty cake". I love you my sweet, sweet angel!
Love Always,
Mommy xoxoxoxo.....
I never had the chance to meet you, although I wish I had, but I have heard so much about you..what a sweet and beautiful little girl you are. You have an amazing family who I know misses you dearly.
I know that God has introduced you to my son Matthew James and I am sure the two of you are having fun running and laughing and doing all the things your little bodies wouldn't let you do here. Thank you and all the other precious angels you are with now for showing us the true meaning of life. You and your family will forever be a part of our hearts.

It's 3:30 a.m., your usual awake time. Wish you were here, as it is very lonely without you. I miss our time together. To think I ever complained about being up all night. What I wouln't give to be awake with you now. I miss you so much and think about you all the time. I hope you know how much I love you! You'll be forever in my thoughts and forever in my heart. Sweet dreams, Angel of mine!
Love always,
Mommy

Your picture and your story make me want to smile, hug my own children and deam big! I hope to see pictures of you in your doctor costume from build a bear!
I know you left the world a better place by being here.
Love to you and your sweet family.

I am sad because you won't be here for Christmas. Have fun with God. I miss you and love you. I am using your Lamby when I suck my thumb. His tail is just like Ducky's.
Love Always,
Braden

Indeed Sadie's family are special people just as she was to everyone who touched her short life...much love and light to everyone and for keeping her memory in the hearts of so many people...
When Father Dan came to us looking for help for you because your Mom and Dad
asked him,You became a special member
of our Knights of Columbus council's
family.
We were thrilled we could help you and
your Mom & Dad. We were so sad when God decided to call you home.
We promise we will try to help another girl and her family and we will look after
your Mom and Dad and your brothers for
you always.

Happy Halloween sweetheart. Everyone sure misses you and is very sad without you. We visit you everyday. We also look at your legacy page many times during the day to say hi. Your brothers and I went trick or treating tonight, they had fun, and got lots of candy, but it just wasn't the same without you here. Oh honey we miss you and just hope that you know that we love you and think about you all of the time. We pray for you always and just love seeing all of your pictures that we have around the house. Mommy sleeps with your lamby every night and thinks about you always. She sure misses you also and is very sad without you. Her days are just not the same. You taught us what it means to truly appreciate, and love what you have now, and live now. We love you Sadie. You are a huge part of our family and always will be.
Love, Daddy, Mommy, Lucas, Camden, Braden, Ruby.
I am so thankful that your Mom, Dad, and brothers were willing to share you with me! I loved our sessions together, I'm not sure you always did :) You had such an amazingly strong spirit. It was sometimes hard to see your strong spirit that wanted to play, run, and talk, stuck inside a body that was not letting you do all of those things. Your eyes were able to communicate all of that! I wish that I had been able to help your body do all of the things that you wanted to do. You made those around you stronger, and I know that you are still offering us all of your strength from up in heaven. Thank you for touching my life, and letting me touch yours!

I miss you, I miss your blue, blue eyes, I miss your smiles and I really miss playing with you. Every child I treat I see you in them. Every accomplishment they achieve or when they are just plain done with PT for the day. Over the past two weeks, my little ones have made such wonderful gains, and I can't help to think that you are behind it all. Giving them the amazing strength you had while you were here with us. So, thank you, my little (yet powerful) angel, for your strength, and love. Thank you for giving me signs, through my little ones that you are still strong, and you are laughing and playing with Jesus in heaven.
Love, Lisa
I miss you more and more with each new day. I find comfort in knowing that you are in the arms of Jesus now and that you are healthy and happy. May you always know how much I love you and may you always know how special you are to our family. I love you, I love you, I love you, my sweet Sadie Bug!!!
Until we meet again.....
Love Always, Mommy xoxoxoxo....
What a beautiful name you have. I wanted to let you know how very lucky you are to have such a loving and caring Mommy, Daddy, and three brothers. You are missed terribly and I promise to pray for you each day!
My heart goes out to you and your family. Even know I never met you I heard so many good things about you and I always prayed for you. Now you are in the hands of God and in peace. You brought such happiness to your family and friends and you will be missed so much. God Bless you and your family.
Even though we never met, we followed every bit of your sweet life through your Grandpa in Las Vegas. You brought such happiness to you family. Yours is truly a blessed life. God Bless you and your family.
All my love and prayers, Lisa
Sincerely; Jane
family, friends and strangers - together to share in the Joy of her life,
while becoming a community of care.
Sadie made a difference, touched many hearts and changed us all to really appreciate life and care for each other.
