hello my little angel. You would have been 5yrs old tommorow, and although I know you are still here with us in spirit, I miss the real you!! Last year on your birthday there was alot going on...G-ma and Aunt Grace took you and your big brother Xavier to Chuckie Cheese, so you could play and take your mind of things. I wanted to be there soooo bad but I missed out. There's nothing more I would like then to turn the clocks back, and have spent that time with you!! I know you were never mad though! I know you were loved in that moment just as you were in every moment of your little life!! And even though I couldn't be there, please know that i certainly wanted to!! Life is funny... the word tommorow is almost a curse...it's never a guarantee! Later or next year, are never a promise...rather they are a hope. My hope was that I would make it up to you this year, and sadly I can't do that. My new hope is that I'll remember this and cherish you for all that you are to me and everyone who loves you!! Sweet little angel I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH! And on your special day I promise to hold you high in my thoughts and honor your memory!! Please know that you will never be forgotten, you will always be loved, and your memory will live on forever!! I love you!!

to my sweet little angel, I miss you so dearly! Life has been so difficult here without you. I try to make sense of it all, look for answers. I just can't seem to understand why we would have to continue without you. You made life so beautiful and bearable and meaningful. Although I didn't spend enogh time with you, the times we were together were perfect. I realize I may never understand the reasons you cannot continue here with us. I hope to honor you by living my life joyously, and hopefully by guiding Xavier in the same direction. You were an angel, and I miss you soo much. I struggle daily, I am consantly reminded that you are no longer here. I keep praying to wake up and find you there even if just in a dream. During this time it is especially hard, please help us all to do the right things. Please guide us, please help restore the faith that I lost the day you left. I once believed that everything happened for a reason, and although I may not believe it right now, I hope to one day understand that. I realize that I do not have all the answers and nor do I need them, I hope that I may one day stop trying to control everything! Bishop although it is hard for me to face what has happened, I hope that you will guide us all through this world, and help us to get through it! I love you soo much and miss you with all my heart! You will never be forgoten, I will try my best to honor you!

Love always,

Aunt Leila

To know Bishop was to love her, and the way that her smile lit up a room when she entered was simply amazing. I feel so fortunate for the time that I was able to spend with her and the happiness that she shared with everyone that she encountered. Every time that I think of her smile it brings back some of my fondest memories, you will always hold a special place in my heart and for that I will always be grateful.

Bishop, without you there's a piece a piece missing. A missing part of the equation longing to be filled. I am sorry that we couldnt get to know each other any better than we did, but it will never be forgotten.

To understand such a loss will take a lifetime or more

Left feeling empty and hollow to the depths of your core.

Not a day will pass when she’s not on your mind,

Missing her smile, her laugh and her heart - so kind.



Only family and close friends can truly understand

The void created by losing our little Bishop.

Such a joy to your life, such a treasure to hold

A lifetime of love, wrapped in a 4 year old.



God's word promises that again you'll embrace

and all sorrow and pain will be quickly erased.

In His word you'll find comfort when you're losing control

Lean on Him always, let him into your soul.



And as we pass from this life on to heaven to reside

All our prayers being answered, grieving tears have been dried.

As the gates slowly open, the truth shall be seen -

Our beloved Bishop - "Forever”

Love Uncle Angel Morales

Dearest Bishop,

Your endless love and energy graced my house the Saturday before and everyone wanted to know who the “ cutie “ with the pig-tails was. Words can’t express what I am feeling at knowing that when I hugged and kissed you goodbye it would be a final goodbye. Life is not fair for many reasons but I am a better person for having known you. You brightened everyone’s day that came in contact with you during your much-too-short life but I know that your endless love for all (strangers and family alike) has touched many. Keep smiling down on us.

To my little mamma... you have been a blessing to us all. Watching you grow was one of the greatest joys I have ever experienced. Although our time together was limited in this world, you have touched my life in ways I never thought were possible. I always wanted to protect you, and now it is you that will continue to guide me through this life, you are my little angel. I pray that we can all learn from you, and offer our love as selflessly as you did for all. You have touched so many lives in such a short time, you are my inspiration. To all those who have added your comments I thank you. Our family appreciates your thoughts and prayers in these hard times. Bishop you will be missed and will remain in our hearts forever!! I love you sweet mammas!!!
-Your Aunt Leila

My "sweetie girl", G'mom loves you so much and will miss you forever. You were such a wonderful little sister who taught her brother to share. I promise to take care of Xavier here on earth and I'm sure you will do the same from Heaven. Keep smiling and be happy playing with the angels. As much as we wanted to keep you with us, we understand why you are in Heaven instead. It's because you were ALWAYS an angel... Precious sweetie, you taught us so much about love! May we never forget...

Little Bishop, you touched so many lives the short time you were on earth but now your life of joy is just beginning. Unending comfort & contentment is yours while you bask in His presence forevermore..May we all prepare our hearts to meet you there some day.

Bishop, I never knew you but I wish I had. I only know you through your Aunt Carmen. Sounds like you were an Angel even before you got to Heaven. I know you have found peace and will be watching over all your love ones, especially your older brother. My prayers go out to your family and all who loved you.

Bishop, I loved you the moment I first met you and that love grew every time I heard your laugh or saw that sweet smile. I miss you dearly but rejoice in knowing we will be reunited one day in heaven. Save me a place next to you, sweetheart. Keep dancing with the angels! Love, your cousin Jess

To my family, Bishop is now our littlest angel watching down from heaven and smiling on us. We had such a short time with her, but she touched us so deeply. I love you all and pray that our Lord will continue to give comfort and strength to sustain us through the difficult times ahead. Love, Aunt Carmen

Although i didn't know Bishop personally, I felt as though I knew her through her Aunt Grace. I do know that even though Bishop was on this earth just a short time she was able to touch so many people lives in so many ways. We just have to trust in God and know that she is up there with him watching over us. May God Bless you all and keep you in his Loving care during this time.
