Rocco didn't survive

ChrisRocco - 08:20pm Aug 26, 2005 EST

Rocco's little lungs were just to wet from the pnuemonia. He passed away while we were at the NICU last night at 10:40 (we live in Tokyo.) We are making arrangements to take him back to Texas for him funeral.

So Sorry

So sorry to hear the passing of your precious little boy. I can't imagine how you must be feeling. My prayers are with you and your family. You know that we are willing to talk if you need to... You lost a precious little angel that will forever be in your hearts, and don't forget that you also gained a precious angel that will always watch over you and keep you safe and warm. Once again my prayers are with you and your family during these heartbreaking moments.

To Rocco's Mommy & Daddy

There are no adequate words to express my true sorrow for what you are going through right now. I can only pray that calm and peace envelope you and may you feel love surrounding you during this very very difficult time. We lost our thirdborn son almost four years ago, as time goes by it does not feel so raw.

I gently remind you that your precious son felt love from you his entire life and will continue to live on in every person you share him with. May you be wrapped in comfort and support.

Thinking of you.

RIP ROCCO

There are no words to make this any eaiser for you and your family. May Gods peace be with you and give you comfort in the days, weeks, and months to come. It is hard to understand why things like this happen to innocent babies, but rest assured their is a greater plan and Rocco will be watching over you and all of your family until the day you are all united again.
My deepest sympathy,
 Gunners mom

Prayers are with you

I am sorry to hear about your son. I know it is hard sometimes to not feel angry. You just need to remember that god has bigger plans for him in heaven. As someone told me little Rocco is a little star shining down on you now. He is up to protect and comfort you.

I will be thinking of you and your family as you make the journey to send him back to god. God bless you

God Bless Rocco

Chris,

It is with great sadness today that I read the news of Rocco passing. Through your loving words in sharing your beautiful son, know that he has touched all our hearts. I celebrate his life, even for this short period, because it has tremendous purpose. An angel has touched the hearts of many to remind us how precious and valued we all are. As you journey home to take Rocco, I pray you will find peace one day. Please know that we are all here for you whenever you need to just talk, have someone listen to you, cry or hold your hand through a difficult time. An angel has left us and we share your pain. Even through this difficult time, I thank you for touching our hearts with a mother and father's tremendous love for their son. My prayers are with you and your family, and a special God Bless for Rocco.

MOM TO BABY JIM (FULLTERM STILL BORN)

CHRIS, HANG IN THERE, THE DAYS ARE LONG AND TOUGH AT TIMES. BUT AS TIME PASSES BY THE SADNESS AND PAIN LESSENS. WHEN YOU NEED TO TALK, MAKE SURE YOU DO, WHEN YOU NEED TO CRY MAKE SURE YOU DO. DONT HOLD ANYTHING INSIDE. YOU WILL ONLY MAKE YOURSELF. I LOST MY SON ON AUG.26,2005. I WAS 36 WEEKS PREGNANT. WHAT A SHOCK! THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT I CAN SAY: DONT BLAME YOURSELF! TAKE CARE & MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU, SANDI
