Angel Gage, World's Best Hugger

Gage Daniel Edwards
August 2,1996~June 12,2005

Gage joined the angels in Heaven after a long and hard fight with Choroid Plexus Carcinoma, a brain and spine tumor. He enjoyed a three year remission from 2001-2005 where he was given the opportunity to spread his love, happiness, kindness and hugs to everyone he met. He endured horrible chemotherapy, several surgeries, radiation and a long, long stem cell harvest and rescue. He made new friends everywhere he went. We are so grateful that we got to hold him, love him and hug him the extra 3 1/2 years that we did. He got to go to school, make new and precious friends, join boyscouts, do karate and what he liked most...give out hundreds and hundreds of hugs. We miss him and love him to infinity!!!



God saw he was getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around him
And whispered, come to Me
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer
And saw him fade away
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes THE BEST!



You are forever on our minds and in our hearts Gage! We Love You To Infinity!

"I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name,
All I have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part,
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart."

Hi all. Hope all are well. We are coming up on the Brain Tumor walk this weekend. It will be exciting to be part of it. Hopefully the jackets with Believe in Miracles will be done before it. I will have to post pics. It has been kind of a tough week. There is a song about bring on the rain but I think I need bring on the sunshine. This is kinda weird and maybe to personal but maybe some other angel family has gone through it. We always go to the cemetery on Sundays...the day Gage passed away. Well we went there this weekend and I literally felt like sombody had punched me, Beau was freaking out and ...like I said it personal, weird, selfish...I don't know but there was a fresh grave by Gage. When your not expecting it...it freaks you out. Beau was screaming, cussing, punching the car...all the things I felt like doing. Luckily...Justin has strength and was trying to console us with Gage was a people person...he liked people around etc. To get the picture I guess is..Gage's class put a tree by the road...there are 4 plats or spots behind the tree that we felt were to close to the road when snow and plow season come along so we bought Gage's plot, the one to the left and 2 to the right. I guess I knew there were others but you just don't expect to go and visit I guess and see a fresh grave right in front of your son. Like I said...selfish I know but it just freaked Beau and I out. I don't know if it brought back memories, we felt like our area was invaded or what. Beau just kept saying I come up here to see my brother and there is blankity, blank, blank blank...it was pretty bad...He said he wasn't going back and they should dig the other person up and move them etc. Started...my sad week I guess. One of my Make A Wish fellow grantors came into work yesterday and told me she has breast cancer. She has already had a double mastectomy and has chemo now. My heart goes out to her completely because I know second hand what hell chemo is.I hope and pray she makes it through everything okay. Even though we were there...it is just so hard to know what to say. You want to say it really blanking sucks and its not fair but that doesn't help anything or anybody...so you just try to stay positive. I think all this, it being June and just everything has us a little on the sensitive side. I sure miss my Gage!!!He was definitely a huge part of my sunshine.
Okay...enough with the sad stuff. We have almost reached our goal of $1000.00. You can just go to denverwalk.org and look up team Believe in Miracles to watch out progress. I am excited to get away for weekend and try to have some fun. I know Beau is excited for camp but I know I am going to miss him. I will just have to exercise!

Please keep Zoie in your payers as she has scans tomorrow.

Hi sweetie. We miss you and love you to infinity!!!
