Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

This memorial website was created in the memory of my loved one, STEPHAN BELL who was born in Brooklyn, New York on October 03, 2004 and passed away on November 10, 2005 at the age of 1. We will remember him forever. God giveth and he taketh. Let us remember and enjoy his life. We will not mourn but celebrate his wonderful life. God knows best. And we loved him but God loves him more.   "Lest we never forget, his legacy must continue" 


 


'I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine,' Christ said. For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, but will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief, you'll have his lovely memories of solace in your grief. I cannot promise he will stay--since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I looked the wide world over, in search of teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lane, I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain--nor hate Me when I come to you and take him home again. I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done." For all the many joys he'll bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay. But should the angels call for him, much sooner than we planned, we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand." 


          
Dear Mr. Postman,
Can you send a letter from me
I need it sent from up above to my earthly family
Please send it quick, my mummy's sad, I hate to see her cry
Every night she prays to God and sadly asks him why.

Please let it say, I could not stay, with an angel I had to go
I'm fine, I'm happy here with the other babies I know
I hope it reads to my uncles, I know you love me too
I miss you lots and all the things that we had planned to do.

Grandma, how I'll miss your hugs and kisses planned for me
I know how much you'll miss the growing child that I should be
Close it with I love you so, I'm with you in your heart
I never really left you see, I was an angel from the start.








Don't Cry Mommy
I know your heart is broken,
from the pain of losing me...
but Mommy, I’m so happy,
if only you could see.
There are angels all around me;
 with flowers in their hair...
this place is filled with beauty,
 God’s love is everywhere.
He spared me from the sorrow,
that your earth has come to know...
so please don’t worry, Mommy,
'cause Jesus loves me so.
Heaven’s light shines brightly,
on my little angel face...
if only you could see me;
your pain would be erased.












Such happiness is waiting,
and one day you will see...
we'll finally meet in heaven,
forever, you and me.

Don’t Think I Do Not Grieve
By Brenda Penepent
Don’t think I do not feel,
because you see no tears.
A river rages deep inside
of grief, and loss, and fears.
Just because I do not cry now,
don’t think my heart’s not broken.
I keep inside the misery
of words not to be spoken.
Sometimes I smile, or crack a joke,
so you won’t see the pain;
or notice how my hands will shake,
or how I’ve gone insane.
Each time I chance to think of him,
my heart is ripped asunder.
The loss I feel is mine alone.
You will not see my thunder.













Letter to Mom
By Joy Curnutt
Mom, please don’t feel guilty
It was just my time to go.
I see you are still feeling sad,
and the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,
And for some it’s not many years
I don’t want you to keep crying
You are shedding so many tears.
I haven’t really left you
Even though it may seem so.
I have just gone to my heavenly home,
and I’m closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say my name
I’m standing next to you,
I know you long to see me,
but there’s nothing I can do.
But I’ll still send you messages
and hope you understand,
that when your time comes to “cross over,”
I’ll be there to take your hand.

His LIfe  
     Stephan Handsome Ronald Bell was born on Sunday October 3rd, at 8:11 a.m. He was delivered by Dr. Andrew DeFazio. Attending his birth were his Mouma Georgette Champagne Gomez And one of his favorite uncles Patrick Champagne. He came rushing into this world with out any problems. And the first thing he did was look his mommy in the eyes, and start sucking his thumb. His umbilical cord was cut by the proud uncle whom everyone thought was his daddy. He was born at 8 lbs 4 oz. and at 21 3/4 inches.
     Stephan was excellent at the hospital like a little angel. He never cried(only when he was hungry or needed his diaper changed.) He was circumcised the very next day and my boy didnt cry. He passed all his screening test and was allways hungry.
     On Oct. 5th, 2005 Stephan and I were released from the hospital. We went home to begin our journey of life together, with Symphony of course. Stephan adapted to the outside world really well. He did what all babies do best. Eat, Sleep, Eat some more and sleep some more. He never gaves us any problems. The only time he cried was if he was hungry or needed to be changed.
     In December when Stephan was 2 months old he had developed a bad cold. He was coughing and was kind of wheezing. I brought him to the doctor and was told it's just a bad cold he'll be fine. Two days later he was rushed to Kings County Hospital. Where they gave him a nebulizer treatment and sent him home. The next day Stephan was having so much difficulty breathing that his ribs were contracting. I rushed him to KCH again and this time they kept him. They ran all kinds of test. Pneumonia-Negative, Broncitis- negative and the next day they discovered that he had R.S.V. He was in the hospital for about 3 days and by the time he was discharged his O2 count was 100% Afterwards he was fine.
Stephan had a wonderful life. He stayed home with me until he was about 6 months. Then he went to Cora's Safehaven Daycare with his 2nd momy. The one who told him him what to do at all times Miss Symphony. In August of 2005 I took both Symphony and Stephan out of Daycare and Kept them with me for thye rest of the summer. We did everything together. We went to movies, the beach, different parks. But the thing Stephan loved the most was the pool. I brought an inflatable pool for them. I kept it in the back yard so every morning I would fill up the pool and Sami, Symphony, Stephan and I would just have a good time all day. I would bring the radio and barbeque while we were out there. Soon enough it turned into a friend and family thing. Everyone would bring there kids and we would spend the day together and have a good time. I have to stress this part because we really had a good time. Stephan got to know everyone and he got to enjoy his family and friends. This was the best summer that i think we could of had. We Just relaxed. 
On June 4th,2005 Stephan was baptised at Our Lady Of Refuge Church, by Father Perry. This was a truly blessed event. This was also the weekend for his best friend/ cousins 1st b-day so we had one big party. Gauldo's first b-day and Stephan's Baptisim, right in the back yard.
My baby's favorite shoes  
Stephan had these sandals that his Mouma brought him. He had 2 pairs one black and one blue. They were these squeakie shoes every step he took he would squeak so he would just start stomping his feet just to hear the shoes make noise.
My baby's Favorite food.  
White Rice with Black Beans soup And cooked vegetables Creole style. Di Riz Blanc Avec Sauce Pois, Legumes
