My Dearest Beloved Christian,
As you lay in rest in utter peace and harmony in God’s kingdom, may you know that you will always have a very special place tucked in Auntie Monica’s heart. Although you were only here for a short time, your soul will linger on with us to carry forward into the rest of our lives.
Seeing you in the hospital was heartbreaking, but at the same time you filled me, and I’m sure many others, with so much love and strength, all because of your endurance and motivation and struggle to fight for life. That little tiny body had so much to live for still, and I wonder everyday why God took you away all too soon? To put up a fight like you did is just amazing to us all. Most of us think we have it so hard in life, but nothing compares to what you had endured during the 6 months you were here, day after day, hour after hour, you struggled and fought through it all, the tubes, the injections, the medications, the surgeries. However, I could see in your eyes, that you were very tired, but I know that you wanted to make mommy and daddy proud, and continued to fight. Just know that Mommy and Daddy are still very proud of you and happy to know they have you as a Son, and that they built memories of you that will forever be kept in their hearts.
Arlyne, you are such a blessing to Christian and he is so very blessed to have you as his mother. I know that you and Paul are hurting like no other hurt you’ve felt in this lifetime. I know that the pain you endure now is numbing but at the same time unreal and heart-stabbing. I hope you find an ounce of consolation and reassurance when I tell you that Seeing you hold Christian one last time during his last minutes as he looked into yours and Paul’s eyes was a very heartfelt and saddening moment, but at the same time a relief to you as parents, and Christian as your son. His last breaths were shared intimately with you both and I’m sure he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Mommy and Daddy have been so strong for you, Christian, and I wanted to say to you Arlyne and Paul, that I love you both so much and we are all going through so much anguish with you both during this time. The love you both expressed to Christian is an undying and an unconditional love, and every second you spent with Christian was always filled with so much hope, an utter hope that he would one day get better and you would soon one day take him home to raise like any loving parent would their son. I’m sorry this had to happen to baby Christian, but just know and be reassured that he is in now in the loving arms of God smiling down upon you, and us all.
We love you and miss you Baby Christian.

Dear Paul and Arlyn,
Pictures say a lot and words can't even be uttered; our hearts are grieving with both of you. Baby Christian is now smiling and playing with the angels in heaven with no pain; and his soul is at peace. The days following takes time to heal and we are with you. Our sincerest condolences.
Lovingly,
