Hey Folks

[Angiekay]

Wow...I don't know what to add to all the heartfelt words that have been spoken. I'd like to say I agree with everyone and more that we all share this grief with you even though most of us only know one other behind a monitor and keyboard.

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family Deano.

[styxman]

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow,
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain,

I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush,
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am in the starshine of the night,

I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room,
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing,

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I do not die.

Take care Dean & Lula, I'm so sorry.

Ian & family

Dean and Lula,

I am shocked at this news. There are no words. The loss of a child has to be the most painful loss there is.

Please accept my deepest condolences.

Your baby will forever be a part of you.

You're in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless you.

Dean & Lula,

I'm so sorry to hear about Trevor. I will keep you all in my prayers. Love, C.

Dean, thats terrible. I cannot comprehend how you are all feeling as I have twins too and the thought of losing one is incomprehensible. Lost for words.

My wife & I have been close to Dean & Lula for some time now, seeing her through the pregnancy & even the honour of Trevor's middle name being 'Jeffrey' showed how close & influential our friendship has become...our deepest condolences, beyond words or sentiments, go out to you both.

D & L, Trevor Jeffrey is now with God, for those who believe, he was meant to rise above any health complications he might have experienced here on Earth, his soul will forever live through his twin brother & that in itself is a miracle, that you two will see his spirit in his brother's.

You have a lot of love & support out there, you know THIS family here is here for you for anything you need us for!

[rdekker]

My thoughts are with you guys. I wish you much strength in the time to come.

Dean & Lula,

My heart goes out to you. There is no worse news in the world than when a baby passes away. Words are futile and I can't find any to express how I feel for you right now.

About two years ago I was very distraught about the passing of two babies that I knew. For therapy I wrote a song. I wanted to share it with you.

Every Breath (Cada Respiración)
Between 2003 and 2004 I knew two babies that departed this world. 5-month-old Joshua’s parents left everything behind in California to go to Columbus’ Children’s Hospital. They were confident that Joshua would get the best possible surgeons and care. To everyone’s horror, Joshua didn’t make it. The funeral was unbearable.

Baby Jack was 6 months old when he succumbed to what appeared to be a simple cold but turned out to be a fatal bacterial infection.

When I think of these babies I can’t help but think of my children and wife - and the baby growing inside her now. Life is so fragile and every breath taken is precious. I get scared sometimes thinking about this fragility and how any breath can be the last.

I don’t know what the parents of Joshua and Jack have been dealing with. Words could never be found to truly convey their agony. I can only imagine that they must feel breathless – constantly gasping for breath.

This brings me to Genesis and how God breathed life into his human child. Considering God as the Parent of All I assign a parental understanding that the "breath of life" is a sacrifice or giving of one's essence in order to enliven another life. As a parent I’ve made this sacrifice and give every breath to our children. I think this is what God intended me to do.

I pray that the parents of Joshua and Jack catch their breaths one day. I pray that when they do that each new breath will bring them closer to their lost babies until they can finally hold them again. I pray that this will comfort them.

You came into this world on a rainy April Sunday
With a smile on your face
You were my saving grace
And when I held you in my arms
I found purpose in the rain

CHORUS
My baby – oh
With every breath I take
So you can find your way
I’ll give them all to you
Every breath

Within my arms I held and cradled you every day
Tickled and laughed and played
Wiped your tears away
Then it came with no alarm
You were gone so suddenly

You departed this world before you ever found your way
Without a cry of pain
You slipped from life’s embrace
And when you were taken from my arms
I lost hope in the rain

CHORUS
My baby – oh
With every breath I made
So you could find your way
I gave them all to you
Every breath

BRIDGE
Every breath
I can’t catch my breath...

CHORUS
My baby – oh
With every breath I made
So you could find your way
I gave them all to you
Every breath

BRIDGE
It’s been a long time and I’ve finally caught my breath
With every breath I feel you nearer
In my heart I’ll hold you dear

CHORUS
My baby – oh
With every breath I take
So we can find our way
I give them every day
Every breath...

Sorry to Hear that Dean and Lula. I have no great words of wisdom, and have no idea of the pain yall are going thru, can't even imagine the pain. All I can say is I'll lift your family up in my prayers, and keep you and Lula in my thoughts. If you need to talk or anything, let me know-ERIC

[KCfla]

Dean and Lula-
I can't possibly add to anything that's been said here except to add my family's prayers.
May whatever higher power you believe in guide you and yours at this time of sadness.

Blessings on you, peace be with you.
Karen(KC), Jon, Becky, Andy and Kimmie.

[Michael Leigh]

Deano and Lula,

Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss.
As JSS said, Trevor is in a better place where there is no suffering or pain.
No words can express how you 2 must be feeling at this time.
Please know your "online family" loves you both, and even though we are all scattered around the world,know that we are all here to support you and to offer any comfort to you guys what so ever.

May God bless you both, and somehow provide you comfort during your time of need.

Love you guys!!

[Mark H]

Dean and Lula

My heartfelt commiserations.

Its only when you become a parent that you realise the pleasure (and pain) that children can bring.

Be strong..

While I'm sure our little site would do something appropriate, it was suggested that we go to the wider audience here at melodicrock and see if we all could help in some way. I'm thinking that is a good idea.

Absolutely. I'm a little out of whack here without my main PC and other problems, but I'd definitely like to help organize this ASAP. AR - lead the charge in my absence will you and keep me posted. I fully support any ideas and all efforts.

No problem Andrew. We'll be setting up a paypal account to help contribute to any incurred medical bills and funeral expenses. I'll keep you informed once we have things set up.

Deano,

Being a father myself I know that there are no words that can help or console you or your family at this time.
I could only ask that the Lord be with you and your wife during this tragic loss. May his spirit and grace support and guide you both.
You have my deepest condolences and my family will keep you in our prayers tonight..

May God bless you and yours

[bublhed]

Dean and Lula,

You are in my prayers. My deepest and sincerest sympathies go out to you. I'm so very sorry.

Travis

[SacredEyes]

Dean & Lula,

As a parent, my heart aches for you both at the loss of precious Trevor. As a mother who has had to bury her son, my soul is broken that other parents must endure this tremendous tragedy. Hold him as long as they will let you and take as many pictures with him that you can. Take as many imprints of his feet and hands. A lock of his hair as well. This may seem strange but you will need them in the near future.

I pray that my son Aiden welcomes Trevor with open arms. If you need anything, please call me or PM me.

Another broken hearted mommy,
Jen

[NealIsGod]

Man, I am so sorry, Dean and Lula. I know it's tough to accept, but God never gives us more than we can handle. Hold Wyatt close and treasure him. He is the blessing that will help you to get through this.

[Red13JoePa]

Prayers and condolences, Dean and Lula.

God Bless Trevor, your're all loved here.

[Wally_Hatchet]

Dean and Lula,

I am so very sorry.

May God bless you and your family, and in time I pray for peace and comfort for you all.

Trevor is now safe in His hands, and I believe that one day you will all be together again, in a much better place.
