Popped by on my way through  / Cherie Lyon (Grace of God )

I'm glad you had those 7 minutes with your baby.  You got to say goodbye to your wonderful boy - that is a gift many parents do not know. 

I hope I'm not dragging up anything negative by visiting your site so late.  My wish is that you continue to be blessed with joy. 

I know through Jesus our Lord that your son is.

Peace.

Love never leaves us.  / Nancy Thompson
Love never leaves us. The perfect love that Baby John brought to his sweet Mother, Father and sister and touched the lives of so many continues to live in and through them. That love has touched me, and I am grateful for the experience. Close

Matthew 19:14  / Grandma Yoli (Maternal Grandma )

"Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs."  Matthew 19:14    John Raphael...You will never be forgotten.  Wrap your arms around your Grandpa Harry, Popo Clem, & Uncle George and know those "hugs" are as real as the ones you received here before you left your earthly home.  Let your spirit continue to strengthen and guide us through our Lord's intercession.  We would have never thought those who love you would need such a tiny soul for our own comfort.  Thank you for being with us.  Love, Grandma Yoli  3.28.07

Blessed / Carl De La Garza (Friend of Baby John's mother )
Elizabeth, I am so glad that all went well on baby John’s birthday. I am sure you must be thinking where have the last four years gone, how quickly time passes. As mentioned before baby John is in the Lord’s hands and in His presence every moment of the day. I am very sure that those who are in heaven are able to see us and all the good we do for the Lord here on earth. I can imagine countless of those who have gone before us baby John included standing and cheering as we serve our Lord and baby John saying go Mommy go as he claps and screams at the goodness you have shown others during your life. That you remember him on his birthday, that time is so special, and that the nurse that took care of you and baby John was there was also no accident. The Lord arranged for that to happen, I am sure that it made the time spent there that much more special and meaningful. I can imagine the great love your baby has for you and that you have for him Elizabeth. The Lord is showing me that love right now and I am sure He wants you to know that there is no greater Love than the Love that comes from knowing Jesus. I will pray that each and every day you receive heaven’s best, that our Lord watches over you and His angels protect you and family. That the blessings you receive fills your cup, a cup that is shaken down, packed down and overflowing with countless blessings from our Lord. The great news is that when we all get to heaven we will have an eternity to spend with our Lord and with all those who are in a place that is truly too wonderful for words.  You are truly blessed and I am so proud of you. You continue to bless all those around you I am so Thankful the Lord has allowed me to know you. You are one of a kind there is no one like you. Your friend, Carl Close
