Well, we spent Christmas with you so we were'nt able to post (smile) to wish you a Merry 1st Christmas with Gabriel, so we're doing that now (smile) & as for New Years, I had no computer- so we're wishing that to you as well! I just viewed your precious pictures and absolutely adore them! Hooray you both got to hold him- how precious!! Congrats!! And I am so glad to see Donald & Jeanne with him too! YEA! (Yes, I spelled the name correctly smile). Don't know what got into me, with the ole slip, must be old age, lol. We forgot the batteries, & canopener & Seths cords & ouch did I get in trouble when I got home! Poor kid has been waiting on me forever. Guess we have to catch you next time.. Tell Jeanne I have a brand new digital camera for her as a Xmas present (never used) with software etc.. I don't know if she wants me to bring it to you to give or what & I will have her Cd ready within next few days if computer continues to work well. I hope to buy some blank Cd's and copy all pics of Gabriel & videos to give to anyone who wishes them here so give me a day to find if comp driver is ok & I will post the makings of them. Love Mom, Dad & Seth & Lindsay (Yes, I was spelling her name wrong too, oops, smile, I got it straight now! Smile)

Nate, Corin, and Gabe, Eric wants to keep looking at the pictures. He keeps saying Gabe is cute, his boo boo is all gone, he's getting better, and he wants to play with him. Glad to hear he's in another room. Hopefully things will keep progressing. Still a few more obstacles to overcome, but Gabe is a fighter. We all miss you very much. Please keep us posted and let us know if you need ANYTHING. Love, Aunt Michelle,Uncle Gary, and Kids

It was so nice to see you Christmas Eve. We've missed youboth so much and it was such a nice surprise that you stopped by. that meant alot to me. I love the recent pictures you sent. I am saving the picture of Gabe with his big beautiful eyes looking at the world. everytime i look at that picture, I want to kiss my computer. The pictures of you holding Gabe. they are great. That was a long time waiting. I am so glad that you are able to hold him now. Give him a squeeze for us all. I can see by the pictures he sure got alot for Christmas. I hope he can see by all his gifts he got, how much he is loved. People in work want to be updated so i send your lastest updates to my friends. i also have copied a few of the pictures and sent them along. Everone is saying how beautiful he is and you can see what a fighter he is. I am glad to hear his third (and praying it will be his last) surgery went well. Things can only get better from now on. he's fought such a huge battle and keeps winning which can only make him stronger. God Bless you all for being so strong. I know you are tired of hearing this, but We miss you all so much. Gabe, hurry and get better. pee, baby pee, so you can come closer to home so we can see you and talk to you. you are in our thoughts and prayers. love you all, Aunt Ann, Kristina and Kevin

My heart aches not being able to help you. Poor Gabey, going through so much, I just can't imagine! He's going to make it Corin & Nate, Just you wait & see, he's just taking a step back again before he goes 2 forward. I know he gave you two & us an awful scare tonight but he holds dear to being strong for his daddy & mommy & the rest of us, & I know he hears us & our prayers. Gabriel, we are holding you in our arms, rocking you, loving you, reading stories to you & helping you get better! Hang in there babe, everything will be alright!

MAY GOD WRAP HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND YOU MUCH LOVE AND HEART HUGGSS ANN CP JAMIEANDZACHARY

God's Littlest Angel January 13, 2007 at 05:38 PM EST

Don't cry Mommy and Daddy, I am here with Jesus, and I don't feel any pain. He is letting me be His Littlest Angel, and will let me watch over you, until we meet again. He told me you will be older, and that the time for me will go by in a blink of an eye. I just know I will always love you and to me you will always be beautiful.

Our Holy Mother was with me when I had to leave you. She carried me with my angel up to see Jesus. I really tried to stay mommy, I had loved the warmth of your arms when you held me and the tenderness of your lips when you would kiss me. I couldn't tell you, but I sure did love you. Your smile was always so radiant and your touch always made me feel good. I hope you realize, that I loved you so much.

Daddy, you are so loving and tried so hard to take my pain. I know that you have a very special gift, and will be there to help others. You were always encouraging me, and if you listen, I will always be there encouraging you too. Your heart is so big, that it will help you to be able to talk to others and feel their sensitivity to their problems. I would have loved to have learned how to play baseball, but that is ok. I will always be next to you and mommy, walking with you, (well running is more like it).

Jesus told me that I had the BEST PARENTS. How lucky can a little guy be. I felt you with me all the time. Please send my love to all by grandparents, aunt and uncles, and to everyone that loved me.

There are so many other children out there, I sure hope they can feel love like I did. Love, what a special word, what a special feeling. Mommy and Daddy, you have so much love, you make sure that you share it with others.

Mommy,Daddy, I just wanted to thank you for everything. I will never be far, and I know you will always hold me in your heart. That is the best place to be. I will love you forever and ever.

Your Littlest Angel

May God's strength carry you through this rough time. Gabe gave it his all and is now an angel in Heaven. My prayers are still with you Gail

Nathan and Corin: Your loss is very sad and difficult to truly comprehend. I’m not great with speaking words of sympathy during times like these, so I thought I would use this medium to convey something meaningful and comforting. There’s been so many wonderful and supporting words written by so many caring people, however, I’m not sure how best to add to them. One thing I am sure of is that Gabriel is truly proud of the parents he was born to and appreciative for how much they loved and cared for him and were strong for him....incredibly strong for him. You truly honored his life by caring for him, protecting him, and loving him so immensely. I wish you peace and strength throughout the process of healing. With love and respect, Glenn

Dear Corin and Nate: Please accept our condolences on the loss of your son Gabe. He was a beautiful baby; you should both be very proud! We can’t even begin to imagine what you have been through these past weeks. It is a journey no parents should have to endure. Your courage and strength is to be commended. You are in our thoughts. With sympathy, Laurie, Nick and Al Vario

Nate & Corin, We Love You two so Very Much!! Please know, you are in our arms holding you dear every moment!! When you were little we could wipe your tears, rub your back when you were sick, give you medicine when you needed it, advice & guide you to our best capability, clean your wounds & just advice, guide, & protect you & now we find ourselves for the first time, not being able to make you better or ease your pains or make things right for you and it is heart wrenching as a parent & as a grandparent. We have no way of making things better & feel helpless as parents. Even Seth, as your brother, is walking lost as we all are. We would give anything up to give you Gabriel who is so dear to you & to all of us!! We are so very sorry, we haven't the way to do so as we would give anything, anything to do so!! We are very proud of you, as you walked as the best parents on this earth, & we know Gabriel knew it too, as it is from you he gained his strength & love from and it showed!! The nurses said to us, that you two amazed them & they admired you two with your deep devoted love for eachother & for Gabriel & we whole heartedly agreed! Gabriel gave us the best 56 days of our lives and now the days will continue from the other side while he sits with Pappa Joseph & Mamma Mary & in sweet Jesus's lap to be our little angel, our star in heaven, & he will always be with you & us as our Guardian Angel til we meet again. He loves you two so very much & thats why he wouldn't give up the will to live, it was just his little body couldn't handle it, and all I can say is with that spirit, he hasn't still given up & he is with you as we speak! He is holding you as we speak, is walking with you, talking with you, & being with you forever as he loves you forever!! He is, the most precious gift anew in our family & when we cry we hold his things, we hold him & are also holding you. We love you, mourn with you, & thank you for blessing us the privelage to know Gabriel & for bringing him into our lives, as we wouldn't trade it for a second, and the time was beautiful & precious!! Love Dad, Mom & Seth & Lindsay xoxoxox We are here for you always whatever you need! xoxoxo

Nathan and Corin, with tears in my eyes and an ache in my heart I send this message. I am So sorry to hear the heart breaking word. Gabriel was a Fighter. He will always be my Good luck charm and the 2006 world champion. He Has made this world shine a little brighter. I Thank you for giving us all the chance to know him, and love him. I will always know he is a tickelish little boy who sometimes got mad. And a baby that fought every step of the way. We are all so proud of him. We will always love him and remember him. We share with you now, the tears and pain. Please know we are all here for you. And Thank you again for Sharing your ANGEL with us. Lova, Aunt Ann

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Gabriel was such a fighter. He knows he has such loving parents and the two of you should be commended for everything you did. You will be in my thoughts everyday. Gabe was a beautiful baby. All my love and prayers.

Dear Corin and Nate, Uncle Tom and I have followed Baby Gabrial's daily progress and were so sorry to hear that he lost his struggle. We are in Florida and will not be able attend the service, but are thoughts and prayers are with you both. Love Roanne and Uncle Tom

I have been following your sweet babies progress for a few weeks now. What a shock when I got on today and heard that he had earned his angel wings this week. Know that he is out of pain, that he is watching over you. He was so loved during his life here on earth. It showed through your updates and through your faces in the pictures. You are such choice parents to have held this sweet baby in your arms. You were choosen by him to love and nurture him as his parents. What a wonderful family he was born into. He had the most beautiful eyes-they were so strong and wide. He saw and felt your love. I know he did. I'm sure it was so precious to hold him as he took his last breath, but also heart wrenching. You are loved by so many. I pray that you will find comfort in each other and your family. That you will always remember his love for you. With much love for you Kari

I am so sorry to hear. Thank you for keeping us in the loop, and please plese let me know if there is anything I can do for you two. Love Stefanie

Dear Nathan and Corin, My sincerest condolances on the loss of your son. May God uphold you and your family during this time. There are no words to describe how you must feel, but in time.... Sincerely, Arlene Hebert

May GOD be with you and your family at this difficult time. I heard about your son while on another person's care page and my heart goes out to you. My cousin has experienced a similar situation. She had her little girl on 11/21/06 and she too passed on 1/15/07. She had her last heart surgery to repair 2 leaking valves and was doing great. The doctor's stiched her up sooner than expected and they were decreasing her vent to try and get her off of it and removing tubes. My cousin updated her care page that morning a little before 9am and by around noon she was gone. I was looking at all of your gorgeous photo's of your son and when I read your last update about the services my heart just sunk and I welled up with tears. I don't know you and just came across your care page yesterday, but, I wanted you to know that there are lots of people praying for you because of this site. Whatever you do, please allow one another your own time to grieve. There's nothing worse than feeling like your being pushed to get over your loss and to move on! GOD is with you and has your best interest at hand, even though it doesn't seem like it at this difficult time. If you would like to check out my cousins care page it's KyaEmmaClark. GOD Bless, Stacie in Iowa

Each day I come back to check on you. This must be such a hard time right now for you. I want you to know that you are in my thoughts daily. I pray that you are finding comfort in eachother, and your family and friends. Sweet little Gabriel, you have touched many hearts during your life here on earth. You are loved by many.
