This memorial website was created to commemorate the beautiful life of our baby boy Ethan Edward Lombard who was born on July 5, 2007 and returned to Heaven on October 20, 2007.

Dear Ethan,

Since the day you entered our lives, we knew that we were given a very special little angel. We cherished every moment of your life that God blessed us with... 3 months and 15 days worth. It hurt more than we could have ever imagined when you went to Heaven, but we trust that God knows how special you are and that He needed you by His side.

Your impact on our lives, and the lives of so many others that love you, will never be forgotten. We miss you every second of every day baby e, and we will live with you in our hearts forever.

With patience, we will see you again, our little angel baby. <3

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.
 It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
 
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

The Tree of Life
by Lisa O. Engelhardt

If I could grow a tree for you,
I'd water it with tears,
And nurture it with memories
gathered through the years

Grounded in firm values
this tree would find its roots
And from its legacy of love
would grow the sweetest fruits.

Ever branching outward,
its canopy would swell,
A living, loving tribute
to a life lived full and well.

Finally, its leaves would reach
the floor of heaven, and then
I'd climb up on its branches...
just to hold you once again.

 

 

 

 

May we live in peace without weeping.

May our joy outline the lives we touch without ceasing.

And may our love fill the world, angel wings tenderly beating.
