Sad. Very sad. I can't think of anything else to say.

The loss of a child is a terrible, terrible thing.

So very sorry.

Thanks Charles for posting this site.

Beagle, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Bubble Girl

The pictures on the site are so wrenching... they look like my son when he was born, only a bit smaller and frailer... Oh Beagle, G-d bless and comfort you and your family. I am so terribly sorry.

(I lost my father some months ago, and I'm still hurting from that... I cannot even begin to think about losing a child.)

*HUGS* {Beagle}

Deepest, most heartfelt condolences, Chip. I am so sorry.

Beagle.

As the father of little ones I share your grief and was deeply moved by the pictures.
Alexander was a beautiful child and may you always cherish the time you ahd with him.

God has his own plans and is no doubt sharing them with Alexander who is sitting besides him.

No words, just prayers.

Deepest condolences.

My prayers and thoughts are with you.

God bless your family. What does not kill us makes us stronger. Your pain is huge, our sympathy and love is great.
Stefan

Chip and Jennifer: My most heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

I am so sorry. I have been praying for all of you.

I am sorry to hear that, but i prayed for him.

This is a tragic thing. I can't look at that page without feeling that knot in your stomach. Just a terrible sadness.

Chip my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.

I hope you are able to find comfort with the people in your life who love you.

Ben

Chip and Jennifer, we all feel your loss, although we can never know your grief at losing your precious baby. God speed you in your recovery and God keep Alexander until you see him again.

I am so sorry for your loss. How awful.

My heartfelt condolonces.

It is the worst possible loss. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

you and yours are in my prayers.
my deepest sympathy...

My thoughts and sympathies to you both.

I can not even begin to comprehend what the loss of a child feels like.

My mother lost two: my older brother Robert and my twin sister Diane. She had 4 more children, but I know that a place in her heart always ached for her two lost ones.

Chip and Jennifer, my heart is with you.

Thank you for putting up the site, Charles.

Alexander was a precious baby, and Beagle, we are all thinking of you and your wife.

May you be comforted in the knowldege that Alex is with G-d.

There really are no words..

Beagle
Just know how many there are of us that care for you and your wife. It may not lessen your pain (which I cannot imagine to understand) but may help in your continuing on in this life here on earth. For Alexander the pain of this world is gone. You have unfortunately missed out on the pleasure he would have brought you. I will pray for your loss and hope for your recovery from it. I am sure Alexander will like to see your smiles from Heaven as much as you will miss his smiles here so be strong and find hope.
RIP Alexander

What a beautiful child. What a heartbreaking loss.

My deepest condolences, Chip and Jennifer.

I am terribly sorry to read that :( My very best thoughts and affectionate feelings go to Beagle and his Family. May the Lord bless him and his wife with serenity and joy to come.

Beagle,

My sincere condolences.

May little Alexander rest peacefully amongst the clouds in that utopia where innocent children and the pure of heart dwell for all eternity.

And may you, your wife, and he be reunited one joyful day, to bask in the warm glow of the Creator's smile.

May Alexander's memory be a blessing to the Johnson family, the LGF family, and all freedom-loving families everywhere.

(((chip and jennifer))) may you know the comfort of God as you grieve. He understands the loss of a son. you are in our prayers.

Prayers for strength, peace and comfort for Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. Godspeed Alexander.

My condolences to you and your family. At times like this, you'll know you're not alone in your grief. Hope you find some small measure of comfort knowing we all pray for your family.

Kristy

Chip and Jennifer, may the blessings of the Lord be with you, and carry you in your time of grief.
Such a beautiful baby.
My deepest sympathy to you both.

"Jesus called them unto him and said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.'

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arms, and carry them in his bosom.

'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?' And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, 'Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.' "

My heart is broken for you.

But I know Alexander is with G-d.

Beagle, I wish all the strength and endurance for you and your wife. This is a truly terrible loss, but baby Alexander is not gone-he just crossed over to be with the angels and everything beautiful that awaits us in the future.

Chip & Jennifer:

...we don't know each other, but I want to offer my support to both of you...

we have two children...both great kids...I can't imagine losing either...

May God keep you and comfort you and heal your hearts.

Know that you are in our prayers!

Frank & Penny Alderson

so sad no words can help.

My mother lost a child
I will say a prayer.

I am not Jewish, I am pretty sure Chip is, I do not know if this is appropriate. But it is a traditional Jewish prayer for mourning and sounds beautiful. If it has meaning that in not appropriate please let Charles know so he can remove my post.

Glorified and sanctified be God's great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.

May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

Bless you Beagle, and believe it or not he' Alexander" is watching over Mom and Dad, all of you are blessed

My heart, thoughts, and prayers are now with you.

Love,
annakita

Chip and Jennifer - words fail me as they fail all of us; just please know that you have our condolences and sympathies for your loss, and that God will watch over Alexander.

Chip & Jennifer
Hold to your faith.
& Hold onto each other.

Beagle, I'm praying for you and your wife.

I have lost a child and gained a child through a past adoption. God knows what He is doing. I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord Bless and Keep You!

My sincere sympathies for the parents. Rest in peace Alexander Johnson.

Tragic

"Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Revelation 21

May God bless and comfort them in their time of loss.

Dear Beagle,

It is obvious from your memorial website that your beautiful son Alexander flourished under the care of his parents once he arrived at his home after a couple of weeks in the hospital. His rapid weight gains were no doubt as a result of the tremendously loving parenting that nourished his emotional being prior to his passing. I am so sad to hear of this tragedy, and no normal person could not feel deep sympathic pangs of sorrow for your loss.

May God soon grant you amnesty from your pain. I cannot know the suffering that you are experiencing, but all of the loving world cares about you, your family, and beautiful Alexander.

Beagle,

I lit a candle over at your beautiful memorial website.

I'm so very sorry. May God be with you till you meet again.
Alexander is a precious, beautiful son.

I am so terribly sorry...Beagle,to you and your family, my deepest condolences..
May G-d give you strength in this most difficult time.

Chip & Jennifer

My thoughts and prayers are with you, so sorry.

Chip, My heartfelt condolences for you and your wife.

I can't begin to understand.

Stay strong.

Chip and Jennifer,
Praying for you in this time of awful sorrow. The Lord comfort you both and all those who grieve with you.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

#36 Radian
This seems to be a translation of Kaddish. I have a vague knowledge of Hebrew (or is it Aramaic?). I recognize in your post the meaning the prayer conveys, because, like Beagle and all of us, I also have lost cherished ones. If it is a translation of Kaddish, allow me to join you in saying it for Beagle's baby.

Life surely is surreal at times. I am in Pittsburgh and just started reading this thread--my wife came into the room and said someone in the neighborhood was playing the bagpipes--Amazing Grace--at 11:30 P.M. How Appropos.
As other other posters have stated there are no words to express our sorrow at your loss. May G-d grant you strength at this most trying time.
God Bless you and your wife.

"Death be not proud".

I am so sorry you lost your son, know that we grieve with you for your loss.

Hmmm.

My hearthfelt condolences for your loss. I can only hope that you will be reunited sometime far in the future.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your wife, Chip.

Thoughts and prayers to your family.

Chip and Jennifer,

May the Lord give you his blessing and give you strength. May he hold Alexander in his arms, until you meet once again and forever hold Alexander, in yours.

Beagle, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. May God bless you and comfort you.

Chip and Jennifer...may the Lord bless and keep you, the Lord make His face shine upon you from this day forward and forever more. May the Lord grant you His peace that passes all understanding at this time.

Words cannot express...

I will continue to pray for you and your family, and hope you will find strength in the knowledge that little Alexander is now with God.

Chip and Jennifer,

May God hold you and your precious baby boy close to His heart, and sustain you in the days ahead. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

That my young and precious family hasn't suffered a similar tragedy is surely something that can only be attributed to divine will, the fates, sheer luck or whatever one's faith allows.

My deepest sympathies to you, sir.

Beagle; Chip and Jennifer, my heartfelt prayers are with you in this time of incredible sorrow.

To Chip and Jennifer: There are no words at this time that I can think of that could possibly ease the enormity of your anguish. My sincere and most heartfelt condolences to you both. Cling to each other and to the grace of God. May you both find the strenght to get through this difficlut time. God bless you both.

Having three little girls, I don't know how I would handle the death of one of them. I have only a small inkling of what it might feel like.

Chip and Jennifer, I share in your sorrow, and I will pray for you and for Alexander's soul.

I also pray, that if it your wish, that God will grant you more children. I know that no child can ever take the place of Alexander, but I hope that you can again know the joy of the blessing of a baby.

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss.

My prayers are with you.

Michelle

Chip and Jennifer

I’m sure that the grief and pain feel somewhat like being lost and afraid on a lonely road, on the darkest and dreariest of nights. Please hold on to the assurance that Alexander is bathed in the warmest, most loving light ever imaginable. Though he now is safely kept and cherished at the hands of his eternal Father/Mother/God, your love for him as his earthly parents is forever woven into the fabric of his very soul. Someday, in ways none of us will ever fully comprehend, little Alex will return your unconditional love with the light and comfort of his memory. He and his Creator will see that the road you will travel becomes a little less dim, a little less lonely and one guided by hope, love and the lessening of grief. The Lord hears our prayers for you Chip and Jennifer, and He will help you deal with this terrible and painful time in your lives. You are in the hearts of many, this evening. Most significantly, you are forever in your son’s heart, as he is in yours.

My most sincere prayer and love to you both.

Tim

Chip and Jennifer,

All my sympathy and prayers are with you. I can only imagine the sorrow that is in your hearts, but please remember, all things will pass, and there is a reason for everything in God;s creation.
My tears, sympathy, and love to both of you.

My wife and I send our heartfelt prayers and thoughts to the both of you and both of your entire supportive families.
May they help you both try to deal with your loss as you will find strength thru them.

Beagle

I can only send love out to you and your family.

To Chip and Jennifer,

My deepest sympathies.

What a nice bunch of people is posting here. What a pleasure to be in such company. And it's all Charles' "fault" ;).
Dear Chip, Jennifer and family: I already posted my heart-felt comment on the site that Charles provides here. May God always bless you abundantly and give you strenght now.

My deepest sympathies and prayers to Chip and Jennifer on the loss of their precious child. I am so sorry.

Chip and Jennifer,

I cannot experience your pain, but I sincerely grieve for your loss.

Turn to your love of each other for comfort.
Turn to G-d for strength.

Chip and Jennifer: Love and prayers to you. I am so very sorry that you experiencing this agony. My Hashem grant you comfort.

My deepest condolences to Chip and Jennifer.

Stay strong.

Dear Beagle and Mrs. Beagle, my condolences. Alexander brought joy in his short time, and much love. For this we can be grateful. I wish you peace.

Emily

Chip, my heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. Know you have our love and our prayers.

That's just awful. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how terrible they feel.

As a new parent I still can't even imagine.

My deepest sympathies.

My heartfelt prayers to you and your family. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

My condolences, Beagle.

Chip and Jennifer, I am terribly sorry to learn of your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Chip and Jennifer:

Find a LOCAL grief/support group -- one with face to face meetings, for a few months or longer.

/sympathy and prayers

this is horrible news. God bless and keep you and your entire family beagle.

Beagle - We'll be praying for you and your family. The child is safe in the arms of God.

I can't think of anything more painful than losing a child.

My condolences.

Chip,

My condolences to you and your good lady wife Jennfier.

Know that people that you have never met weep for your loss, and pray for both of you.

Shalom...

My deepest sympathies to Chip and Jennifer.

Dear Jennifer and Chip,
He isn't gone...he's just away for a while. Know that when your time comes to leave this world for the next, your precious son will be there, greeting you with a big smile, and saying " Daddy, Mommy, I love you."

You are in my prayers.

Bethany

Chip/Jennifer:
I do not know where to begin to express my sorrow and condolences for you and your wife.
I have gone throught 4 miscarriages with my wife but it cannot be the same as loosing a
son that has been held.
I will lift you and your wife up on my prayer
and the church's prayer list.

Those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31

My the Lord hold both of you in his arms.

Jennifer and Chip:

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Beagle,my deepest condolences to your and your wife.

Beagle, I am simply heartbroken for you and your wife. Alexander was a beautiful little boy, he looked like an angel. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I don't know what to say to comfort you. May his memory be for a blessing.

I'm just crushed by your loss.

Why must one so innocent, so loved , be taken from us?

We can only have faith.

I pray for your healing, though long and hard it may be.

Take care of each other now.

The day will come when you will meet your son again, and all answers will be known.

Bless your family.

Mark

Beagle and Jennifer,

My heart aches for you--my deepest sympathy to everyone in Alex's circle of love. I'll continue to pray that something good will come out of this terrible loss. I hope you take comfort in knowing how many hearts Alex touched.

Beagle,

I'm afraid I'm at a loss for words. But you and your wife are in my family's thoughts, and we extended our deepest symapthies for your terrible loss. We also extend our firm hopes for a happier future for you and yours.

I won't even pretend to know how you feel right now. My family and I extend our deepest sympathy to you and hope for all of GOD's speed.

Chip and Jennifer, may your loss make you better people, and may you one day hold joy again with a deeper appreciation than any of us.

Chip,
You and your family are in my prayers, and take comfort that Alexander is in the arms of a loving God.

Mike

Chip and Jennifer

Deepest sympathy for your loss. May G-d grant you peace in your time of grieving. Loosing a child leaves such an ache in the heart.

j

Chip and Jennifer:

Your family will be in my prayers. May G-d comfort you and grant you strength.

Chip and Jennifer
The loss of a child is agonizingly hard to bear, but know that you are being prayed for and that God answers prayer. May He wrap you in his arms and give you comfort and strength as you grieve for your precious baby boy.

Heartbreaking.

Dearest Chip and Jennifer,

My wife Deborah and I offer our deepest condolences in this time of heartbreak. The loss of a child is the greatest sorrow any of us can experience.

My own little Jimmy lived just 7 weeks. He would now be 31 years old. Not a day goes by that I do not think of him and wonder what he would be like.

Beagle,

I am so sorry.

The thoughts and prayers of all your friends here are with you and your family.

My sincere condolences and deepest sympathies,

GJ

Deepest sympathy to Jennifer and Chip.

To Jennifer and Chip,

Please accept my deepest respect and sympathy.

There are no words of true comfort now, but try to know that Alexander is at rest in God’s loving arms.

I pray for your peace of heart.

may God keep you strong.

I looked at the memorial site and cried.

May Alexander's memory be blessed forever.

Chip,

I'm very sorry. My sincere condolences.

My deepest condolences.

Alexander is now an angel.

Beagle,

Our LGF hearts are with you at this hour of sorrow. Such a tragic loss. Sincere condolences and much love.

Awww...this is so sad. Chip, my deepest condolences to you & your family.

What a beatiful little boy. I am so sorry for your loss. His memory will be precious to those who never knew him in this life because you let us share in this struggle. God bless you both, your families and friends.

We almost lost our 6 yr old grand daughter,
2 months in the hospital.
i cant imagine coming home without her.

God bless you for having to endure so much.
Words can never express our sorrow.

ibm.

I know how deep this pain goes; It is the most terrible imaginable. You and he are in my prayers and I pray for your heart and for the Creator to grant you strength in the years to come.

My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I wish I had words to ease your sorrow in this nightmare. My deepest sympathy.

My deepest sympathy,

poor little fella.

My condolences to the entire family for this heartbreaking loss.

My love and sympathy to Chip and Jenn.
I know something good will come of your loss.

Beagle,
My heart aches for you and Jennifer.
I am so very sorry.
J.D.

Beagle,

You have our deepest sympathy. I wish I could say something better than that. But for those of us with little ones, Alexander reminds us to treasure them all the more.

My deepest condolences. You, your wife and beloved son are in my prayers.

Mapenguin

God bless you and your family, Beagle.

Now the sun will rise as brightly
as if no misfortune had occurred in the night.
The misfortune has fallen on me alone.
The sun-it shines for everyone.
You must not keep the night inside you;
you must immerse it in eternal light.
A little light has been extinguished in
my household.
Light of the world, be welcome.

Kindertotenlieder

May the light of a merciful God comfort you and grant you peace.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family, Chip. I pray God give you all strength now and forever.

My heart breaks for you and your family. This is a tragedy no parent should have to bear. God speed.

Sorry and sad, nothing else I can say.

Beagle & Jennifer,

May the happy memories of your precious son comfort you both forever.
The grieving process may be long and tortuous; please consider professional guidance to assist you with this journey. It is imperative that you understand and support each other during this time; this can be more difficult than it may seem right now.

Prayers for your family,
ctrlL

So sorry to hear about your loss-I hope you never, ever know sorrow again. This is the greatest loss imagineable. My thoughts are with you, though no words can be of comfort.

I just looked at the pictures-he was so beautiful. I'm in tears. My son spent 5 1/2 months in the NICU and this brought back memories. So sorry this happened to your beautiful baby.

*Makes sign of the Cross*

Rest in peace little guy.

Chip and Jennifer,

Unless one has lost a child, and I have not, there is no way I can possibly share in your grief. I can only imagine the heartbreak. Having two daughters whom I love dearly and are the world to me, I can think of nothing more tragic than the loss of a child.

During periods like this, I've found that none of us can provide much solace to the two of you. God alone knows why things like this are allowed to happen. There is no earthly explanation.

A neighbor of mine lost her 7-year old daughter a few years ago. She is truly one of the nicest folks I've ever met and a wonderful Christian lady. Why bad things happen to good people is one of the great mysteries of the universe. In talking to her, she told me that time does heal some of the pain but there is always a hole that can never be filled.

I know that my neighbor has received comfort from support groups. Only parents who have also lost children can know how you both feel at this moment. She told me to tell you that when the time is right, you might want to join an association that can better understand your loss.

Until then, all I can say is I am very sorry and your both in my thoughts. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Chip and Jennifer,

I am so sorry for your incredible loss. May God give you strength and hope in these dark days.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this extremely painful and difficult time.

Chip and Jennifer, your loss is so great because in his short time with you, Alexander gave you such great joy. I'm crying as I type this. Rest in peace, precious boy.

Prayers, not words ... and m'sorry for you, Chip "Beagle" and Jennifer ...

I've been out of town and just logged on. I'm so sorry Beagle.

Love to you all in the Beagle world and may Hashem give you the strength and courage to come through this whole, and as more than you were before.
You have an angel now.

I just got back in, my heart goes to you Chip & Jennifer.

Strength.

My condolences. I'm very, very sorry. I know you will always hold him in your heart. He had a wonderful name.

(((Chip & Jennifer)))

I wish I had words to express my deep sympathy. I can't imagine your loss.

Hold onto each other and remember Alexander with love.

Nonnie

Jennifer & Chip "Beagle" -

My deepest symphathies. There are no words to describe such a loss. May I suggest "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" by Rabbi Kushner, who despite being a clergyman had the guts to ask the question "Why us?". May Hashem give you all the strenth to confront this most tragic loss. Alexander is an angel.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

May you find peace in your hearts and solace in each other.

Our thoughts are with you.

Chab

Please accept my condolences.
May you be comforted in this time of grief.

Jennifer and Chip,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Chip & Jennifer:

What a beautiful little boy! I cannot begin to know what this time is like for you both, but please know that there are many people who have been touched by this, and our hearts and prayers go out to you both.

When the time is right for you, you might want to read Dr. Brian Weiss' book, "Many Lives, Many Masters". The book is about how Dr. Weiss treated a patient through past-life regression, a subject I do have some doubt about. What was really moving to me about the book was what one patient, while regressed, was able to tell him about his late son, who had passed away not long after his birth. It helped Weiss understand his loss better, and at some point it might comfort you both as well.

My heart goes out to all of them.

I am so sorry.

This is just the pits. Prayers to you and your family, Beagle. IT is beyond our human ken to figure out the why.

I cannot imagine what Beagle and his family are feeling. Words are inadequate. My deepest sympathy.

I have been gone for a while. I just logged back in, and I find we have lost a great soul. I weep for Chip and Jennifer, and I weep for all of their families. I weep, because I feel. It is what makes us human. I do not know any of you, personally, but I would weep for you as well. Bless you Charles, for giving us all this extended family, even when it causes us pain. Goodbye Alexander.

*HUG* for Chip and Jennifer. My condolences.

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 diamond glints of snow
I am the sunlight of ripened grain
I am the gentle, autumn's rain
When you waken in the morning hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die

My deepest sympathies. I am so sorry for you both. What a beautiful boy he was, what a horrible loss. You are in my prayers.

So terribly sorry to hear of such a shocking loss. Such things are impossible to understand. May you know no more sorrow and have only happiness in your life from now on.

G-d rest him and give you both strength and peace of mind. My deepest condolences to the both of you. You have suffered the very worst any person can suffer. May you both be granted many more children and may your son's memory be preserved.

Yikes! I am so sorry to read this. My heart goes out to you both.

My condolences to both of you, I am so sorry to hear this.

My wife is 13 weeks pregnant this weekend. I can't imagine how dificult this must be for you.

My prayers are with you both.

And I will say a prayer for Alexander, though he is safe with God now.

Dear Johnson Family,
I can not imagine what it would be like to lose a precious child. My heart goes out to your family, and may God hold you close and comfort you in this time of sorrow.

Love,
John Churchill

I wish there were words I could say to make this time better for you, but I can't think of any right now.

He was a beautiful little boy, and I always liked the name Alexander.

I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your lovely child.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the Creator of the Universe bless and hold him.

The Other Elizabeth
Imperial Keeper

Jennifer and Chip - Tears as I see the pictures of your Alexander. His beauty and sweetness shine through. How you must long to hold him again and to smell him...

Life may seem too long when you have known your son and yearn to be reunited, but at last, you will, you will. Quietly with you in your pain.

God be with you Beagle
