Kaden Andrew Perez was welcomed into this world on February 26, 2009. He was adored and loved by tons of family, friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and his Mommy and Daddy. He was a joy in our lives and was always full of laughter, smiles, giggles and curiosity. On December 12, 2009, our little Kaden was called on by the Lord. We were blessed to have him and to know such an amazing little spirit. May he rest with the Lord and guide us all as we continue our journey in life. We will see him again. Our little angel will watch over us all.

Kadens service and celebration of his life was amazing. God surrounded us with love and support and we said our goodbyes for now, we will soon see him again.
Love you Kaden baby!

Poem written by Kadens Great Aunt Kathy

Dear Mommy,
Today I woke up in a brand new place,
An angel came and she had your face.
She held me in her arms so tight
She held me through the day and night.

And Daddy,
Guess what I could see?
Another angel just for me!
He said he loved me just like you
And I know you still love me too!

And guess what else? I can fly around!
I can play in the clouds and the wind I found.
I’m not sad here, there’s lots of love
And we can see you from above.

I have come home, God called me here!
I fly into His grace.
I’m with Him now, I’m full of joy
And you should see this place!

Love,

Kaden Andrew Perez

    Sarah & Andrew, as I said before, I am deeply sorry & so heartbroken by the tragic loss of baby Kaden. He's been on my mind since the first post that I saw about what happened. I hope that you'll be able to find hope & peace in all this someday & again, as I said before, if either of you ever need anything, anything at all...feel free to let me know. I'll do whatever I can.

    Now, this little part of my note is for Kaden. Little man, even though we never met, I still feel like you hold a special place in my heart. From the second that I heard the news, my heart began to break for your mommy & daddy. I have a sweet & precious little girl & I wouldn't even want to imagine what your mommy & daddy have gone through these past few days after God decided to call you back up to heaven to walk beside him & his other beautiful little angels. I hope that your mommy & daddy can find some closure & peace with what has happened to you, so young & innocent. I know it will be a struggle & sometimes they'll feel like they won't be able to take another step forward. But you will be there, always & forever, by their side to guide them & make them see that they'll make it through it all together. You brought so much joy into everyone's lives that got even a chance to see those beautiful blue eyes & gorgeous smile in pictures. You've touched the hearts of everyone you met & left your footprints there to remind us of you. I know, in everyway possible, you'll be well taken care of up there with the big guy & all your family that you're surrounded by now. We love you, Kaden. Even those of us who never got the chance to meet you in person, you will always hold that special place in our hearts. RIP & God Speed Little Angel

  6. Sarah & Andrew. I know this is the hardest thing you will ever have to go thru in your life. This is something no one should ever have to go thru because it is just not fair. Just alwyas know, Kaden is very very loved. I know we live across the country, but if I could I would be there right now just to be able to give you any support you may need. I am truley heartbroken by what has happened and if I could have traded places with him I would have in a second because no one should have to go thru this kind of pain. Always remember, he will always be your baby and you will always be his mommy and daddy. He will always live on in your hearts. As I have said before, you have one amazing little angel looking after ya'll right now. Sarah, you are a strong person and I know as hard as it is, you will pull thru this the best you can. I just wish there was something I could do to help take the pain away, but I know theres not.. I wish I could turn back time and make everything better..but I know I cant... All I can do is give you any support you may need. So please, don't hesitiate to ask. I am here for yo if you need to talk or cry, or vent.. anything.

    *hugs*

  7. Sarah,

    I've met you through Dalas & seeing you in the salon. My heart is hurting for you both. I am truly sorry that you have this pain in your hearts. And I know that no words can make this better, but please take some kind of comfort in knowing that a LOT of people are praying for ALL of you. Kaden touched a lot of hearts by just being Kaden. I have not been able to stop thinking about all of you since saturday. My heart goes out to all of you. Stay strong. I will pray for ALL of you.

  8. Dear sweet family. I am so sorry for your loss. It is the morst heartwrenching and devastating loss anyone can experience. I have been there myself, a child at 3 weeks old. Hold on tight to eachother, be eachothers rock. Lean on your friends and family and especially those who will listen to you talk about your sweet baby. Talking about him will help you heal. Find those who will listen when you need to talk. It helps so much. We have a hummingbird that started to visit us after our daughter passed. Our older daughter named her Belle and now whenever we have a hummingbird we think of our angel in heaven watching over us and saying hello. This next year will be very tough. It will get easier but the pain will never go away. I will pray for you to get through this. There is a society called "Compassionate Friends" that helps grieving parents. Is is immenseley helpful for support. Check them out online. Once again I am sorry for your loss. Know you are loved, you will get through this and will find a way to be happy again. All my love and prayers- Gillian

  9. Sarah,
    I always enjoyed reading your status on myspace regarding your baby boy. Today my heart is torn to know that he passed. He was obviously the center of your world & your company when your hubby was away. My condolenses go out to you and your family. Kaden was one of the most beautiful babies ever. I know he will be your little angel, looking out for you throughout the rest of your days. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. I wish you the best. I hope that God provides you with strength at this time. You are such a great person. I'm here if you ever need anything at all. I'm so sorry for your loss. I mean this from the bottom of my heart.

  10. Andrew & Sarah,
    You don't know me. I heard about your horrible tragedy through Kris & Christie. Christie is my aunt. I just want you to know how very sorry I am. Although I never knew either of you personally, as a mom myself I can only imagine what you are going through, there truly are no words. I have shed many tears and said a thousand prayers for you both. Now I pray God would wrap His loving arms around you both and comfort you in these days ahead. Again, I am so sorry and will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

  11. Kaden, Auntie Shellie loves you soooooo much baby boy! You are the greatest blessing God could have given to any of us. Your mommy and daddy love you more than you could ever know. But we know that God will care for you now and will find a way to get us all through losing you. You must be the most beautiful angel in Heaven because you were the most beautiful baby boy on this Earth. I miss you so much already and always will. You'll always be my favorite nephew, and always the most perfect little angel in our worlds.

  12. There are no words.
    There is no explantion.
    There is no reason.
    There is no blame.
    The intesity of your grief is a relection of the intesity of your love.

    Feel your grief and know you are loved!

  14. My heart has been broken since the moment Sieana told me about Kaden. I have cried many tears for you two, Sarah and Andrew. May God wrap his arms around the two of you and help you through this hard time. You guys are in my prayers. Kaden is around you two and he will keep you guys strong. I know it's easier said than done but try to smile about the wonderful memories you have had with your beautiul baby boy. I know I messaged you about this but if you need anything at all give me a call, I would be more than happy to help in anyway I could.

    Love, Breeann Gardiner

  16. To his mommy, daddy and grandmas/grandpas, I am so sad and sorry for the loss of this dear child. I can only imagine what it is like to see his little shoes lying around, his blanky, his crib, his smell on his clothes, his favorite toy- please wrap yourself in Kaden's blanky and smell and love him. He is with our Lord and will be with you again. I pray that God gives you His peace that passes all understanding. Much love, prayers, thoughts to you and your family. Sincerely, another mom.

  18. Clearly Kayden is well loved by his parents, grandparents, extended family and anyone that ever met him. I had the privilege of meeting Kayden last month and I remember thinking he had an AMAZING smile. The loss is unimaginable. Our hearts cry out to God on your behalf.

  26. Andrew & Sarah,
    You do not know me nor I you but as a parent and a grandparent that has lost a grandchild ..my heart aches for you all. Know that God does not allow us to go through ANYTHING that He cannot take us through or turn for good. I know you cannot imagine how or what the good could ever possibly be...neither can I. But I do trust God's word and I know HE will Carry you through.
    Andrew and Sarah be there for each other,cry,scream,get angry,and yell but always continue to support and love each other because that love is what Kaden is made of. Kaden is a part of each of you and without one of you he would have never been...so stay faithfull to your love and turn to God and He will get you through this.
    I am praying for you both and your families,

    Andrew and Sarah, We have had your entire family in our thoughts hearts and prayers this week, and although we can not be at the services, we send our love and support to all of you. There are just no words at a time like this that express the heartbreak we feel at the loss of such a precious little soul. He was blessed to have you as his parents, and although his time on earth was too short, he will live forever in the memory of the people he touched.

  31. Very sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. I too lost a son, his name was Andrew. Not a day goes by that I don't think about and miss him. He would have been 9 in April. Your son's memory will live on in you forever. I will pray for you and your family.

  32. How blessed you are that the Lord entrusted such a beautiful angel to you, for his brief time on this earth. Your time with Kaden was short, much shorter than you both would have chosen. Your heartbreak is unimaginable... We pray for you both, that the Lord will wrap his loving arms around you and give you His peace and strength in these lonely days without him. We also pray that, in those precious memories you have of Kaden, you will find joy. And you will share how Kaden's life is a testiment of our Lord's love so others may know His love through Kaden's life. God's comfort and love to you both Andrew and Sarah.
