Landon Michael Smith This memorial website was created to remember our angel Landon Michael Smith who was born at Good Samaritan Hospital. on May 22, 2007.
From the day we found out we were going to have a baby, our hearts were filled with love, happiness, and joy that We were going have a family. As the days grew closer to finding out the sex of Landon we grew more and more excited.The day we woke up to go to the ultra sound Landon was moving. For the first time his mommy got to feel him kick. As we walked into the hospital to meet grandma and grandpa Lewis we noticed that the grandma's had pink shirts on and grandpa and Daddy had on blue.Daddy and I knew you were a Boy. We just had a feeling. When we all went into the room we were so excited that Grandpa, Daddy and Grandma Smith were going to get to see you in action. But our dream of having a family were shattered as the nurse looked at us and said, "there is no heartbeat".
We were told that he had passed within the past 24 hours. He kicked that morning to say "Hi" and I guess he knew I would never feel him again. The doctor told us he had Gastroschesis. For those who don't know what that is, it's where the intestines are on the outside of the body. His stomach sealed before his intestines made it inside. It wasn't genetic. I just have to keep reminding myself that he just wanted to be an angel and watch over me.
Landon was 5 ounces and 7 inches long. Normal size for as far as I was (18 weeks). Even though he wasn't fully developed, he had features that I couldn't believe. He had his daddy's jaw line, the long fingers like his grandpa Lewis' and the cutest little nose and feet I had ever seen.
I made this memorial site for Landon knowing that he will always be watching over me. Mommy and Daddy love you. Landon, you have so many freinds and family that will never forget you.
You will forever live in OUR hearts!
i cant believe its almost been a year. i bet your getting so big... i just want to hold you again, i never wanted to let you go. i look at your ultrasound all the time where you are smiling at us and it warms my heart. daddy is going threw a really rough time in life but every night i lay next to your things and know you'll always be there waiting for me. i miss you so much.... but you have to stay strong for daddy as i must do the same for you. i still remember the first time i caught a glimpse of your beautiful lil face and looked at your tiny hands and feet. i could have sat there and held you forever. i want you to know i love you more then life itself no matter what. and please forgive me for bringing that bad man to your funeral, i will always feel sorry for letting him in. but your service was still perfect. me and grandma will be down to see you real soon. until then you be safe lil man. and always remember..... daddy loves you so much.......

You are in my heart
Through and through

Oh yes we do
Landon, why
Did our Lord take you?
I know we will never know why
I know this is true
Landon Michael
We love you.
We think about you all day
And dream about you at night
Knowing what a perfect little boy you are
Knowing the reasons why
Keeping watching over us
To keep us all safe
Keep on loving us
As we do the same.
Play with your cousins
For they know you are there
Even though we can't see you
Show them the way.
We love you Landon
Yes we do
With all my love
This is for you.

Landon,
I wrote you a note to be put in your caskey but they had already sealed it so we didn't get to put it in there. Well It basically said how I wasn't expeting to be there when you were born, and since I was it was a way for You and God to let me know that I was meant to be there. It scared me because your mommy said something felt weird and not even a minute later, you were here. We all cried when the nurse picked you up.. and we just sat there comforting your mommy. I loved being able to see your little toes, hands, you had your daddys face... You were soo tiny but yet so precious. We will always love you and we will always miss you. You are forever in my heart.
Love you little man..
Your Aunt Laura Wrote these to Us From You!
Daddy Wipe Those Tears
Daddy Daddy wipe those tears
I'm all better, I have no fears.
Jesus took my hand today
and said Landon I will lead the way.
This is where the Angels play
this where all my babies stay.
We watch down on our loved ones
we show them the way
we show them how to go day by day.
Our loved ones look to us and pray
we respond and say "okay".
Daddy I know why I am here
Jesus told me why
He said that this day was my day to fly.
Like I tell mommy
and I'll tell you the same
I am loved and it will never change.
We will be together
but no time soon
until that day I will always be with you
I love you Daddy
yes I do
Please hold Mommy to get her through
I'm with Angels everyday
but you already knew this was the way
Keep me close for I have no fear
The love you have has set it clear.
I love you daddy
yes I do
I'll see you daddy
but No time soon.

Mommy Mommy Please Don't Cry
Mommy Mommy please don't cry
Here's all the reasons and I'll tell you why
I'm the rain that falls from the sky
I'm the wind the blows through your hair
I'm the tears that you feel are near.
I'm the laughter that keeps you going
I'm the shadow that's on the ground
I'm the angel that you know is around.
I'll be here forever and ever
You can feel me throughout the day
and you know in your heart what I will say
I love you mommy
and my daddy too

We will be reunited

My deepest condolences |

My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)
Please go to the following link to obtain more information regarding the Hope expressed in this passage and again we are sorry for your loss.

My condolences. It is my hope that these words of the Holy Scriptures, prove to be supportive in this difficult and painful time…..
John 11:32-45
32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”
38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”
45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;
