HAPPY 1ST B-DAY REESIE CUP!


Reese,

Happy 1st Birtday beautiful. We all love and miss you so much. Your birthday yesterday was very difficult to get through but we had everyone over and that made it more tolerable...I guess you could say. We didn't want to write you until after the Silent Auction was over. We are so happy to have so many great people in our lives, and so many people who's lives you touched (either directly or indirectly) as they helped us raise over $4,600 towards SIDS research. Your Mom & I are still in shock and cannot believe (even about 8 months later) that you are gone and not coming back. Every day we get up and it's like a ton of bricks are on our chests pushing us down. We know that we have to get through all these tough days and your big sis & big bro, Noah, help us do that. We told you at the cemetary yesterday but Mommy is pregnant again and expecting on April 28th. We are so happy yet it is definitely bittersweet since you are not here with us. You will never, ever be replaced nor forgotten. We are going to find out the sex of the baby on Dec 9th. There is not a second that goes by that we don't think about you. It is just so hard to write as many times we just ramble....but there is so much to say. It is just not fair that you are gone...and SIDS is what took you from us. We are doing all we can and will continue to fight SIDS our entire lives. They still don't know what it is, yet progress is definitely being made. So many people visited you at the cemetary yesterday, it's incredible. We let 3 balloons go for you there and then later last night Mom-mom & Pop-pop & Maddy & Noah let more go for you. Hopefully you get our notes. When we left the cemetary yesterday, 3 deer ran right by the front of our car. We will take that as a sign that you are saying hi. Happy Birthday little lady. Keep smiling over us as we really, really need it! We love you and will talk to you later birthday girl!

--Love Daddy & Mommy--

'Sea Of Souls'
As I go through the gates before they close
All I can see is a sea of souls
Head to head it seems like miles to me
As I drive along the narrow road
I wonder if they lived the life of their mode
Some soul died before they were born
Other sweet souls died before their time
Some left us suddenly and yet some lingered on
Someday we will all be in the sea of souls
It is all in God's plan
We sill meet again
In the sea of souls

God bless you and your family.
ReesieCup, is in the arms of God for now.
With wings of white!
And eyes so blue.
This I believe is true!

Happy birthday, Reesie Cup! We miss you so much and love you even more. Your birthday was a really tough day to get through. Michael and Shane brought you some balloons. Then we all went to your house to spend time with your mommy and daddy and Maddy and Noah. I am sure you heard us singing happy birthday to you, adn I'm sure you were looking down with that big smile of yours. We all wish you were there to blow out that candle.

Keep watching over your family, sweet girl. Everyone misses you so much!

Love you, Aunt Shanna

Hey there Reese. Just wanted to say how much everyone misses you, but you probably already knew that. Your birthday was a really tough day for your family, but the silent aution went soo well. I was so happy to hear that so much money was raised to end SIDS. There is not a day that passes where I dont think of you and wish you were still here. I visited you at your angel cemetary and "wow" so many people left so many things. Sang happy birthday to you, hope you heard it. And I re-lit your blue candle for you and left you a bear and some Reesie Cups (i think of you everytime i eat one!) Miss you soo much Reese..keep watching over us, as I know you always are. Love you Reesie. -Your babysitter, Kristen.
