Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
I miss you my son. I love you!
I miss you my son. I love you!
I miss MJ (STEWIE) luv u 4 ever tio Josh.
We love and miss you M.J. Love Mommy, Peyton and Family

Good morning and Happy Birthday my little Boobie, Hope your running around up there and spreading your beautiful spirit. I wake up every morning and go to bed every night thinking about you. This morning when leaving to work I saw your bright shining star in the sky and knew you were looking down at us. We miss you so much and wish you were here, however we know that God had a plan for you and needed you back. MJ you brought such joy to us when you were here, you are definitely a borrowed Angel from above. You’re our Guardian Angel Boobie, you will never be forgotten. We we’re blessed to have you in our lives as long as we did.I look for your shining star every night and say have a good night Boobie. Have a Happy Birthday and please watch over Peyton and keep her safe. I received a beautiful heart pendent from my co-workers in your honor, the meaning for the heart states; Each time I think of you passing through my grateful heart. I think of you always Nana & Tata loves you so much…. 🙂
I just want to send my best wishes on MJ’s birthdate. It’s amazing how a little guy like MJ can bless so many other lives……God had a special plan for him from the beginning:). My prayers are with all of you always.

Hello my son. I miss you so much and would give anything to see you or feel your little hands touch my face again. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. I remember the first time I met you. I was so happy. I felt so blessed to have a beautiful and healthy baby boy. M.J. you were truly a blessing son. I will forever cherish all of the memories and the short time I was able to have you. You were always such a good baby, always so happy. Sometimes I hope to walk into the kitchen and see your little toy cars lined up side by side. Or to hear you laugh, or say MUM…I hope to hear your little feet pitter patter down the tile floor in the hallway. I miss playing peek-a-boo with you and trying to scare you and you would just laugh. I miss you sitting on/or next to me watching your favorite movies with you Cars, Cars 2 and Wreck-it-Ralph. You were always so loving and sweet. I miss holding you in my arms and you resting your head on my shoulder. Or me patting your back as you would gently pat mine. I remember how you would blow me kisses, or dance when I would sing to you. I find myself at times eating your favorite foods such as Chicken Nuggets, Gold Fish and Cherrios dry in a bowl with a cup of milk on the side just the way you liked it.
You were a borrowed Angel baby.God had better plans for your life.You have touched the lives of so many people. You forever changed the lives of four people and their families. You gave them the greatest gift ever. I am so proud to be your Mom. You are always with me. I love you son.
Good Morning M.J.! Thank you for blessing me with you presence this morning. You are the brightest most beautiful star in the sky. I love you to the moon and back.
Good Morning Boobie, Nana’s thinking of you always.
Trying to get through another day, I miss you so much…. I’m yearning to hear your laughter and sense your presence, as we have done many times in our home. It’s a beautiful experience to feel your presence and know that you are around so much. I am saddened to almost feel that you are not resting because of all the disconnect that we are going through with Peyton. We love and miss you both so much, hoping this will all be over soon and you will be able to rest and we will be reunited with my little Sookie…… Nana luv’s you Boobie

I see that you have a great wonderful Mommy & NaNa from what I here you were wonderful to be around 😉 you must of been a true Angle from up above, you have touch so many life’s for the short time you were here. But God needed his lil Angle back for another task at hand.
P.S

Good Morning Boobie, saw your bright shining star again this morning. We’re praying that everything will turn out good today “the way it should turn out”. Please help bring our little Sookie back to us, we love and miss both of you so much. Keep shining bright my little Angel and continue to watch over Peyton and keep her safe. Luv Nana
Good Morning Boobie,
I miss your laughter and all your energy that surrounded it, Nana loves you with all my heart.
Lots of hugs and kisses are flying your way……
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs
I love you to the moon and back
I remember your brown eyes looking into mine
Like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bed time
Then jumping on me, waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand, little man
And even the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
Come on M.J. with me, we’re gonna fly away from here
You were my best three years
I remember the drive home
When the blind hope turned to crying and screaming “Why?”
Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say
About a beautiful boy who died
And it’s about to be Halloween
You could be anything you wanted if you were still here
I remember the last day when I kissed your face
And whispered in your ear
Come on M.J. with me, we’re gonna fly away from here
Out of this curtained room in this hospital grey, we’ll just disappear
Come on M.J. with me, we’re gonna fly away from here
You were my best three years
What if I’m standing in your closet trying to talk to you?
What if I kept the hand-me-downs you won’t grow into?
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through?
What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you?
Come on M.J. with me, we’re gonna fly away from here
Come on M.J. with me, we’re gonna fly away from here
You were my best three years
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back
I love and miss you my beautiful Angel.
Love, Mommy
Good Morning Boobie, I’m missing you terribly, my heart is in much confusion as I am extremely sad every time I think about you but on the other hand full of happiness remembering your bright little face. As I finish up my Christmas shopping I see signs of you every where, at first I find myself beginning to giggle then I my eyes begin to tear up. I continue having the most difficult time believing that you are gone. The Holidays have not been the same without you and they never will again, you are truly missed Boobie there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you.
P.S. all Nana wants for Christmas is to know that you are resting and that Peyton will soon be reunited with us. I miss both of you sooooooo much, MY HEART BREAKS FOR THE BOTH OF YOU DAILY………………….
M.J. you will be missed. Forever in our hearts.
M.J.
Hello my son. I miss you so much. I yearn to see your sweet little face and to hear your laughter.There are signs everywhere. You are always with me. It’s so hard to except the fact that you are gone forever. I try not to cry as I know you do not want me to be sad. I cry everyday for you. I think of all the beautiful memories we shared and I can feel my heart smile. I miss you terribly. I hope all this is over soon. I will find peace in knowing you are resting and I am hoping to be reunited with Potato soon. I can see you now spreading your beautiful spirit up there in Heaven. Please watch over your sister, keep her safe.
I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Mommy
M.J.
I miss you son. The holidays have been really difficult for me. It is not the same without you and your sister. I can still see you and Peyton opening Christmas presents from last year at Nana and Tata’s house. You were so infatuated with the ABC blocks that you got from your Tia Bridgette. You were repeatedly dumping your blocks out on the floor and then putting all of your blocks back in the container they came in. You did that for about 15 minutes. It was so cute. It saddens me that your gone and we won’t be able to spend anymore holidays together, but I know you are always there in spirit. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. Everywhere I go and everything I do there seems to always be something that reminds me of you. That is why I know you are always with me, wherever I go. M.J., Mommy knows that you do not want me to be sad. It is so hard. When I began to cry I think of your bright smile, it makes me happy and for a moment the hurt and pain goes away. I would give anything to see you again even if it is just for a moment. A moment would be all that I would need.
I love you to the moon and back M.J.
Love,
Mommy
M.J.
Hello my son. I can just see you now spreading your beautiful spirit up above. I always get so teary eyed whenever I come here to write to you. I miss you so much.
One of my greatest memories of you is when we would go to Nana and Tata’s house, you would always play with the door stopper. You would flick it and it would make a funny noise, followed by your cute little chuckles. You really did get a kick out of the noise it made. I always got a kick out of watching you laugh. You were always such a cheerful and happy baby boy. That is the way I will always remember you.
I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Mommy
I HAVE REGISTERED AS A DONOR IN MY GRANDSON’S HONOR. MJ, YOU ARE MISSED DEARLY. OUR HEARTS ARE EXTREMELY HEAVY HAVING TO BE WITHOUT YOU, WE LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU WERE HERE WITH US . PLEASE KEEP PEYTON SAFE AND BRING HER BACK HOME TO US SOON, WE MISS HER SO MUCH.
Good Morning MJ, Nana’s thinking of you “as I do everyday”, hoping that you are resting and are in caring arms. Your Aunt Carrie is now up there with you “which you’re probably already aware of”. We miss the both of you with all are hearts and think about you always, my heart remains heavy without you being here with us as well as having the emptiness of not having Peyton in our lives right now. I would love to hear both of your laughter and see your beautiful little faces again.
Nana loves you and misses you with all my heart 🙁
M.J.
I remember when I would take you and Peyton to the park to feed the ducks. You would start to giggle when the ducks would come toward you and start quacking. Peyton would always scare them because she would yell at them and chase them away. I often go to the park to feed the ducks. It is not the same without you and Peyton.
I remember taking you both to the playground after feeding the ducks. Peyton loved the swings, but you absolutely hated the swings. You threw a fit when I tried to put you in the swing. Once I took you out of the swing and your feet hit the ground you took off. As you always did. You had the shortest little legs, but you were so fast. You loved climbing and sliding down the slide.
It always made me happy to see both of my babies happy and enjoying themselves.
I miss you so much. I will forever cherish the beautiful memories I have of you.
I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Mommy
M.J.
I think of you always. I miss you so much. The days are long and the nights are lonely. I often wait and hope that you and Peyton would just sneak into my bed in the middle of the night, like you both used to. I remember all those sleepless nights. (I would wait until you and Peyton were in a deep sleep, that way I could put your both back into your beds.) At times I was so sleepy and we would play the back and forth game 🙂 The truth is I wish that my sleepless nights now were because of you and your sister hogging up the bed and the blankets. I miss waking up to you slapping me in the face with your little hands saying “MUM” to wake me up. Or you would just lay next to me and lay your head on my chest. You were always so cuddly. I miss Saturday mornings…I could hear yours and Peyton’s feet pidder patter down the hallway, running towards my room. So I would act like I was asleep and put the blankets over my head. You both would get on my bed and start bouncing around, and I would try to scare you both and you two would just laugh. Those were the best times.
I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Mommy
M.J.,
Hello son 🙂 I am thinking of you. I always think about how you always had your favorite “Dallas Cowboys” blanket with you wherever we went. When you would walk around with it, you would have a part of your blanket hanging off your left shoulder and the rest of your blanket you would drag behind you. You were so cute. You reminded me so much of Linus from Charlie Brown. That blanket went through everything with you. It had seen the washer machine so many times, that it started to fall apart. It was often used for tug-o-war between you and your sister. I crack myself up when I think about how you would sit on a part of your blanket while Peyton pulled on a corner of it and she would drag you around the house. You would hold on and the both of you would just giggle. Peyton would say “hold on O.J.” as she never called you M.J. You both were so close, like best friends. You two were inseparable. I loved how when I would drop off and pick you both up from daycare you greeted each other with a kiss and a hug. You two loved each other so much. I loved watching the two of you interact with each other.
I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Mommy
Hi my little Boobie, I miss you so much. I say hi and good morning to you every day and look into the sky every night searching for your star. I know you’re at peace now because I haven’t sensed you around lately. If every you feel like popping in we always look forward to feeling your presence. We miss you Boobie, stay shining bright in the sky like the twinkle, twinkle little star you are.
Nana loves you so much 🙂
Good morning Boobie, tomorrow is another court date for your mommy. Please provide your strength to do what you can and what is right for the well being of my Little Sookie. I was able to speak with Peyton one time 2 weeks ago and haven’t been able to speak with her since then. I was so happy to hear her voice and especially happy to hear her laugh. However I was very saddened when conversation was coming to an end. I was attempting to end call when Peyton says to me “I love you Nana and my Tata” she then said I can’t find my Momma and I need to go to school”. This crushed my heart to hear her say this, please help Peyton get back to us so she can return back to her daily routine that she is use to. We miss you Boobie, Love Nana
Good morning Boobie, thank you for helping us have the strength to deal with court yesterday. Things really haven’t changed much because of lack of information, however there was a little light at the end of the tunnel. We are finally able to see Sookie this Saturday and are very excited to spend time with her. I can’t wait to have her in my arms and squeeze her until I cant anymore. Hoping you can share your presence with us on this special day. We love and miss the both of you dearly.
Love you always, Nana
Hi M.J. this is your cousin Michelle,

Good morning Boobie, was only able to see your little star for a brief moment this morning before the clouds came in but you were shining bright like always. “Well, tomorrow is the big day where we will all be able to see my little Sookie” it’s only for a short time but it’s better then nothing. We have been so excited that we haven’t been able to sleep. When telling Peyton that we were going to pick her up this Saturday I can hear the excitement in her voice as well. She began repeating over and over “I’m going to my Nana and Tata’s house and I’m gonna see my Momma and O.J. I tried to explain to her that you wouldn’t be there and when doing so she said “oh, O.J’s still at the doctors Nana”. This broke my heart because Peyton doesn’t even realize that you are in Heaven and that she will never see you again. We are hoping that we will be able to have the time to explain it to her but only when she is capable of understanding. I know she thinks about you all the time and is probably pretty confused that you haven’t been around, because after all you two were inseparable. You will never be forgotten Boobie, we will keep your memory very much alive and will speak of you always to Peyton. We will give her big hugs and kisses for you tomorrow. Nana loves you and misses you dearly…..
M.J.,
Hello my son. I miss you dearly. Over the weekend I was able to finally see Peyton. It was a wonderful visit full of smiles and a little bit of happy tears. She asked “where is my O.J. mommy”? She knows that you are with the Angels baby. She misses you so much. I know she really doesn’t understand, and is a bit confused about where you are. Make sure you visit her from time to time. I feel as if you may be resting now, as I don’t feel your presence as much as I used to. I yearn to feel your presence again soon.
I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Mommy

Peyton loves you so much. She loved on you while you were sleeping.
<3
Peyton was a good big sister. She loved feeding you.
My little Angels, forever in my heart.
Boobie, Nana loves you and misses you so much, Peyton misses you too, she’s been asking for you a lot lately. When we finally had the chance to be with her last weekend your mommy explained to her that you are now with the Angels. My poor little Sookie believed that you were still at the doctors and would be coming home soon. I’m not really sure how much she was able to comprehend what she was being told to her, but she now says “OJ’s with the Angels now and is in my heart”. Hopefully the time will come soon where we will be able to explain to her better about Heaven. Sookie was also informed that you’re watching over her and will keep her safe, now you can protect her and watch over her like she always did you…… I miss you Boobie, Luv Nana
M.J.,
Hello my son. Today has been 4 months since you went away. I miss you so much. I still cannot believe that you are gone. I never thought I would ever be without my babies. It hurts so much. I would give anything to see your sweet little face again. I think of you always. I love you to the moon and back.
Love, Mommy
Good morning Boobie, Nana just wanted to let you know that I am always thinking of you. You will forever be in my heart and I will always cherish all the beautiful memories you left us with. I miss you Boobie so much, I wish that I could embrace you just one more time, hear your laughter and see your beautiful little face. Love you dearly, love Nana
Here you are with your sister, Nana. and Tata.
