This Angel was only 4 months old. Born in Bakersfield California October 29, 2008. He was courageous and inspirational in his battle against AT/RT, an aggressive and rare form of brain cancer.

He acquired a virus called RSV with his immune system at risk and depleted his little body could not fight anymore. His battle was not fought alone. He had the wonderful and compassionate Doctors, nurses and staff at St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Also his family, friends and perfect strangers who inspired and supported with non-stop prayer.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death. |
