An Angel Again

Last April I was'nt a member of JLand and could'nt do a memorial tribute for my great-nephew who returned to heaven just 5 short month's after his birth. He was born in November of 2004, but was'nt expected until February of 2005. He had three surgeries in those short 5 months. Was in and out of the hospital, for all sorts of things, fevers, breathing problems, colds. For a while he was kept on oxygen while at home. His doctor took him off the oxygen a month before he passed away. He was scheduled for a 4th surgery, but this sweet little baby dies a week before that surgery was to take place. His name was Bryant Aiden Turner. The son of Danny Ray Turner and Donna Lee Szymankiewicz. Bryant also had a big brother named Anthony.

I am paying this small but loving tribute to Bryant, because when he went to be with the Lord, I was'nt able to attend his funeral. I was very sick with Cancer and was doing the chemo treatments. If I were able to I would of went, but a 4 hour drive mixed with chemo just would'nt allow it. It was so hard on his parents losing their precious baby boy. Danny tried to give the baby cpr but it did'nt do any good. Bryant had passed away during his sleep. The medical examiner placed as cause of death on the certificate as: SIDS.

So, to this little angel Bryant Aiden Turner I say sweet dreams baby boy. You are in heaven now in god's arms, and being cared for by your Aunt Sandy who passed away in September of 2003. Sandy was Donna's sister. She was 18 when she went to heaven, just 12 days after giving birth to her own son.

Bryant Aiden Turner Nov 04 to April 05

We love you sweet baby.......

  4. Sometimes you can't help but wonder what the purpose is of having one so small be brought into this world, and then taken from you, before they even have a chance to talk, walk or anything.  Just doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but, then we can't question God.  

    What a loving tribute to this beautiful baby boy...   I am truly sorry for your loss and for his parents.  I like to think of  him as being a tiny little angel being cared for by some young mother who died before being able to care for her own baby boy or girl.

    I didn't know you had Cancer, Cindy.  I had it too.  I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer back in 1996.  I had Chemo and surgery.  I'm fine now, but it sure was a scary time..

    Hugs,

  6. Hi Cindy.  He's an angel baby, that's for sure! I'm so sorry your family lost him.  I just can't imagine losing a child.  I've known many people who have, and it just about killed them all.  A friend of mine just lost his 27yr old daughter. I think it kills parents no matter how old the child is.  God bless him and his parents.   Lovely tribute!

  18. Awww... he's so sweet.  It is terrible to loose a child. Like you said I'm sure that his aunt is taking good care of him in heaven.

    Last week, a lady that my daughter works with lost her son. She had no problems all through the pregnancy was ready to give birth. Then in her last week of pregnancy she went to the doctor for a check up and they couldn't find the heartbeat. She said she couldn't remember the baby moving either. So they checked her in the hospital where she was made to have the baby and he was born stillborn with the cord wrapped like three times around his neck and one arm, plus the cord had a huge knot in it. The doctors told her there would have been nothing they could have done referring to the knot. He said these things just happen sometimes and we have no control over it. But I thought how awful for her. It will be hard for her because her older sister has a 6 month old boy and her baby sister is expecting a boy in 2 months. So she will have to go the rest of her life watching her nephews grow up together knowing that her own son won't be there. I just thought it was so sad. Sorry I had to share that.

    Take care, Chrissie
