Hello. I'm Kd and I met you in the TCF group this evening. I am very sorry for your loss of your beautiful Abby. She was a beautiful child. I wish there was no pain and you could find peace. I know how hard it is. I lost my son Sean in June. The thing that live on forever is our love for our children. It is the strongest tie we can have with them. May you find peace and if I can say, stay close together. Talking about how you feel is the best way to communicate. We can't always know how the other is feeling; it is such a delicate thing when we lose our child or children. She will remain in your hearts eternally. Your Compassionate Friend, Karen

Jerry, Lee Ann, & Brittany, This precious website in memory of your little Abby is beautiful. She is loved and missed so very much by her two wonderful parents and a sister. Even though we didn't get the privilege of meeting her, when looking through the photo gallery it was as if we had known her. What a precious angel. She is now in heaven with our little 3 year old angel son & brother Anthony, who we lost in Dec '05. They are laughing and playing together. We are here for you, anytime, always. We will keep you in our prayers. "Gone from our sight, but never our memories. Gone from our touch, but never our hearts." Friends; Jeff, Linda, Joseph, & Matthew Summers

I work with Jennifer Smith, a friend of your family. We spent some time reflecting on the precious lives of our own daughters today over lunch. This is such a beautiful tribute to Abby's memory. Thank you for creating this website. You are in my thoughts and prayers often. Although I don't know your family, by sharing, you have impacted my life. Thank you, Christine

Dear Jerry, Lee Ann & Brittany- I have had a great loss for words for all of you since Abby went to heaven but know that my prayers have gone up to Jesus often. It all still seems so unbelievable to me to this very day. I feel like Abby should be running into my office, calling me "Grandma" and asking me for a cookie out of desk drawer. I will never forget the first day she called me "Grandma". She really thought that was my "name" since that is what Courtney called me. What a smile it brought to my heart. Everyone of us has an ultimate goal in life, which is to be with Jesus in heaven. Abby just got there sooner than we did and I'm sure she's having a heavenly time. I can't wait to see her again. I love you all-Diane Heide

Although I didn't know Abby well she will never be forgotten, when I see Jerry, LeeAnn or Brittany I see Abby too. I can't emagine the pain and if I could change or take the pain I would. But knowing that one day there won't be a empty spot in your hearts only joy, on that heavenly day of uniting. I love you all and am looking forward getting to know you more. Meantime my prayers will always be with you. Your friend always Marilyn Brennan

I AM ABBY'S GRANDMA FROM ILLINOIS AND THE FIRST TIME I TRAVELED TO MARSHFIELD TO VISIT ABBY I HAD JUST HAD BACK SURGERY SO I HAD TO SIT ON THE COUCH AND HER DADDY PUT HER IN MY ARMS AND SHE LOOKED AT ME AND STARTED TO SCREAM AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL HER AUNT CINDY TOOK HER FROM MY ARMS. FOR THE REST OF HER DAYS SHE ALWAYS WENT TO HER AUNT CINDY FOR HUGS AND KISSES ! I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER WHEN I CALLED HER ON THE PHONE AND SHE TOLD ME WHAT SHE WAS WATCHING OR WHERE THEY WERE GOING AND THEN ALWAYS SAID ''I'M DONE TALKING NOW'' AND SHE WOULD HAND THE PHONE BACK TO HER DADDY. AND THEN THERE WAS THE DAY SHE LOST HER BALLOON OUT THE TRUCK WINDOW AND BLAMED MY FRIEND FOR LOSING HER BALLOON. TO THIS DAY I TRY TO BUY FIVE BALLOONS ONCE A MONTH AND LET THEM GO IN HER MEMORY. ABBY HAD THE BEST FAMILY ANYONE COULD ASK FOR AND SHE WAS A VERY SMART AND BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL AND LOVED BY EVERYONE THAT EVER MET HER. I KNOW HER MOMMY AND DADDY AND ''SISSY'' MUST MISS HER SO VERY MUCH ! WE SURE MISS HER UP HERE! UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN..............

My heart goes out to you. I have a 2 year old and I couldn't imagine losing her. We came across your site while searching for Abby Cadabby. We will think of your little girl when we see Abby on Sesame Street.

Comments

Gloria Paget-One year, I still can't imagine your pain but hopefully the good memories are beginning to overcome. You are still in our prayers.

Comments

Jerry- You and your family are in our prayers. We now watch Abby on Sesame Street with you in our hearts. Gina Lee & The Lee Family

Dear Abby, We never had the chance to meet you before Jesus came and took you away. He must have needed a little angle to help with the other little children that needed to come there. I have a few pictures of you and I feel you were a very special girl. You will always be remembered. Your Great Aunt, Grace. May God continue to watch over you.

Comments

I Love what you have done in memory of Abby. She shall always be with you both and shining down upon you.

Abby, I have seen alot of photos of you, i feel like I knew you. You are a very pretty girl. Like a flower which butterflies come to for your love. I can see the love that shines through you. We will meet someday. Until then, enjoy the butterflies. With My Love, Your Great Aunt Rose.
