Our son's service yesterday was beautiful, a wonderful gal who has touched our lives forever gave a heart warming eulogy, my husband and I were able to share some long lasting memories with our family and friends, his music therapist performed "beautiful boy" which summed his life up in two words, and a wonderful student performed a song that he had written for our little Brexy. All in all - a very memorable day - we will certainly miss our little angel!
We were to lay him to rest today - however my husband and I thought things were moving to fast - so we have decided to slow life down - and bring him back home - his body will be cremated and placed in a beautiful urn and join us once again in our loving home.
We are doing a couple of things in remembrance of his life :
The first thing - will be to purchase a granite brick (8" X 16") that will be placed at a local zoo in his memory - that will read . . . "In memory of Brextin - our Brexy Doodles - May 2007 - May 2010)" that will placed in an area just for special children who left our world way to early.
The second thing - is a memory garden will be created (a landscaper is actually coming today) it will be filled to the max with a ton of sun flowers and forget me not flowers.
I am really overly whelmed with the love and support of friends, neighbors, family and even strangers! God Bless our little Brexy!
The service was very beautiful, Randi. The music therapist and your student's songs were very touching.
ReplyDeleteMike has been talking about playing some "backyard baseball" with Andy--we'll have to stop over soon- I'd love to see your sunflower garden. I'm sure it will be gorgeous.
We're thinking about you and you're in our prayers.
Your old neighbor,
