A Child On Loan by Denita Sutherland

A Child On Loan
"I'll send you for a little time
A Child of Mine," He said
"For you to love while he lives,
And mourn for when he's dead."

It may be one or seven years
Or twenty-two and three,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

he'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from earth returns.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over
In search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's loves
I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
And take him back again?"

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done
For all the joy Thy child shall bring
The risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness
We'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we'd planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that
comes And try to understand."

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

My One Wish..... by Aunt Dee

Dear Baby Boy:

I've had to stay away for a while for my own sanity! I feel a void that can never be filled...it has your name SANTANA forever and always!

As I read through your tributes, I'm happy to know how many love you, miss you and wish you were here! Of particular note, your grandfather’s tribute has profoundly touched me. I know the pain and regret that exists in his heart. I know how much he would give to have you here to love, just like all of his grandchildren! He didn't get a chance to meet you - but he miss's you so much little man!

As I write this tribute to you in tears, I think of the moments that lead to your birth and the blessings and lessons you left behind in such a short period of time. Through the love of Jehovah and through you, there exists no malice/judgment in my heart. I think of you every day, and admire your mother for her strength! Your love lives in me like the love for my children, it grows endlessly as time passes. My only wish is that you could feel all of this love!! Because of you, I will live every day of my life loving harder, loving stronger, and appreciating everyone for who they are and what are! I pray that my name makes it to Jehovah's memory book; so I will have the pleasure to see you healthy and as beautiful as Jehovah made you out to be. So that I can hold you and tell how much you inspired the love me!!

I will love you forever and ever Santana...I look forward to seeing you in Paradise!!

Love Always,
Aunt Dee

Santana's First Ball Game by Auntie Dina

Hey little guy, just wanted to let you know that I was at a National's game the other day at the new stadium. And I was in the suites at the stadium watching the NY Mets play against the Washington Nationals and guess what both teams had at last 2 or three players with either the first or last name as SANTANA. Boy everytime they called up a player to bat with the name of Santana people would chear but I would YELL. I YELLED and cheared for that person but not because I liked the player because that name will always LIVE ON...I cheared for just you Santana. People were confused as to why I was chearing for somebody on both teams but what they didn't know was that I was chearing for you. The name just eckoed in the entire stadium. It was the best feeling in a long time. Imagine your name being called out among thousands of people in a HUGE stadium, with huge lights and fireworks popping off everytime their was a home run "SANTANA" "SANTANA" "SANTANA". Man...it was great! That was such a good feeling it was the best game I have gone to just for that!!!! Miss you little guy.

Hes my Guardian Angel! by Mommy!

My angel's right beside me,
wherever I may go,
keeping close watch over me,
he's MY SON don't you know.
God took him away from me,
not so long ago,
but he promised he'd never leave me,
dear lord I miss him so.
But I know he's right beside me,
wherever I may go,
for he's my guardian angel,
my love, my life, my soul.


At times when I am feeling sad
and think that no one cares,
I feel the vibrations of your wings
and know that you are here.


I then feel your tender touch
as you enfold me with His Love.
A yearning prayer has come to earth,
sent down from the Father above.

I can never deny your presence.
You fill my heart with song.
All sad thoughts simply disappear,
knowing that I am not alone.

You loan me strength when I give out.
And you raise my courage up.
I can face my troubles head-on
Mortal thanks is not enough.

I will live each day I have
in humbleness and in prayer.
With heartfelt words I'll write
and with all others, share.


It feels like you are always there Santana and it dosent scare me at all!....I turn to you for all my decisions now..My Son is gone but now i have a Guardian Angel to Guide me! I Didnt get the chance to take care of you Papi but now you got the chance to take care of me!

Help me through this Lil Man!

My Change of Adress! by From Santana!

Hi Family and Friends,

Its ME..Santana!

Please be advised that I have moved. I received a call the other day from God/Jehovah and he informed me that my new home was completed. I knew that my mansion needed some finishing touches and that The Father/Jehovah had to inspect it and give me the final approval.


On Saturday, June 21, 2008 He let me know that my mansion was finally completed and I could move in right away.

He told me to go ahead and change my address. Let me tell you that my new home is finished and what a sight to behold. It is located on an exclusive estate area behind the pearly gates and surrounded by a beautiful lake, it's beautiful. I couldn't believe it til this moment that now I am also proudly and happily living down the street from many of our family members It is truly an honor to meet Everyone. More than words can ever express. Oh Father what a heavenly and joyous day this truly is. As you know the roads are paved with gold and everyday is Sunday, just like you have been told. The trees of fruit grace my garden here and I can walk and talk with my Master without any worries or cares.

Please My Dear Loved Ones there is no need to cry or be sadden any longer, for I want you to celebrate my homegoing because for me there is now true peace, happiness and joy here, and of course, there is no more pain or heartache, no strife or discontent, only sweet serenity....you don't have to worry about me or any of our other family members ever again. WE are all together just like The Father/Jehovah had planned.

We are all sitting at the Master's bountiful table and listen to a Heavenly choir, which contains some heavy hitters, like Barry White, Luther Vandross Aaliyah, Lisa "Left Eye Lopez, Tupac & Biggie and of course Gerald breaking it down and would you believe Jam Master J is on the wheels of steel, we are jamming and having a good time. And best of all, my Heavenly Father is here in all His glory.

I also have my own designer who has fitted me with my own white robe and my own wings. I could go on and on about my new home but instead I am going to pray that you will get to move here yourself one day.

Before I go let me give you my new address & please pass it on:

Santana Dior De Leon

92868 Heavenly Gateway

God's Town, Heaven 33020-08

P.S.-I don't have a telephone yet either, but you can always call on the Master, for he likes to deliver messages. If you don't know his number, just pick up your Bible and begin to read, for it is listed on every page. Just remember that I am never far away and that I am always with you for I am just a heartbeat away, just look into your hearts and look up to heaven. Please continue to talk to me on my website and take the time and be sure to give me a call for I look forward to hearing from you...smile!

I Love You All With All My Heart!

Always,
Santana

My Grandson by Grandad De Leon

Hey son I don't know where to begin. I had so much hope you were going to make it that I didn't visit you while you were in the hospital. I thought to myself "I can not see him like this, I will see him when he is good and strong like his father and his uncle Danny" I NEVER thought I would be sitting here writing something in your honor. Grandson, I am so sorry that I was so hard headed as usual and didn't go and see you. I regret every day of the 11 days that you were alive to not make it to see you. I just knew I was going to have you sitting on my lap, taking you out for ice cream or even taking you to the store to buy your first toy truck as I did with your father. You were so special to me before you were even born. You didn't even know it. You were my hope that your father would turn his life around. Your aunt dina printed out a picuture of you and laminated it for me and I look at it and I just shut down when I see how much you looked like your father. You were everything I was looking for, I don't know if I was looking forward to your birth to take away the pain of missing your father so much or because I wanted to feel like I was raising your father all over again. I have not known what to do with this pain all I can do is stare at your picture and pray that I have lived my life good enough in gods eyes to be able to see you again. I think about the fight you put up in the little bit of time here on earth and how you overcame so many obstacles and it made me so PROUD because I knew you were a TRUE DE LEON. Everyday while you were alive I thought about how I raised my boys and then I thought what I could do different so that I could be a part of raising you. There is no way to describe how I feel of your loss. I haven't even spoke to your mother about your loss. Nothing is worse then loosing you my grandson...I wanted you so bad to heal the emptiness that I have felt in such a long time from wanting your father beside me as he was when he once was a child; that now I don't know what to do with myself. But as you know I am strong and I can be knocked down but I will continue to pick myself up. I promise that while I am still on this earth I will continue to guide your father in the direction so that he will be able to see you again. That is my promise to you son...till the day I am layed to rest your father will have someone to guide him and continue to look up to. I have never been so proud of a DE LEON like I am proud of you. Every De Leon in this family has so much to do to live up to your name Santana. We all have a lot to learn about putting up a true fight. You have left leaving us with what a true fight trully is...LOVE YOU SO MUCH GRANDSON AND I WILL SEE VERY SOON!

One moment in my hand....forever in my heart! by Mommy

God saw Santana was getting tired, and a cure was not to be!

So he put his arms around him and whispered "come with me"......

With tearful eyes I watched him suffer and slowly fade away...... :(

Althought I loved him dearly, I couldnt make him stay.....

A Golden heart stop beating and a warm little heart to rest....

God Broke my heart to prove to me that he only takes THE BEST!

R.I.P SANTANA....GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!

MOMMY LOVES YOU!

What do I Do? by Auntie Dina

Hey little guy I am so saddened today this morning August 5th at 8:26am. Your mother has asked me something that I have been dreading for some time now. She wants to see your website. I did create this for you and she has every right to see it but I don't know if she is ready. But who am I to judge when she is ready and keep your mother from seeing something that belongs to HER only son. What do I do Santana? I am so saddened at this moment and as grandma Moore said all we can do is ask for strength that she will be able to handle this. She is going through so much I don't know if she will be able to get half way through your website. I am torn because I made this website special in your memory but now I am not sure if it was the right thing to do Santana. It just brings everyone so much saddness. Well little guy all I can do is pray. I miss you dearly and I still can't' believe your not here. I love you WITH ALL MY HEART SANTANA and I will pray to give your mother all the strength to be able to view your memorial site and see it as an apportunity to bring her some sort of closure. See you later little guy.

Praying for Strength by Renee Moore

Hey Grandson,
I thought I would put in writing a plea for everyone to pray with me on this matter. Your Mom have not visited this website yet, because she still hurts so deeply from the loss of you. She knows that you are okay, but she wishes that she was able to love you and raise you in the flesh. The time is coming soon when she will see this site and I pray for her strength at that time. I love you little man. Your Mom and Dad will get better with time, and you will never be forgotten. Continue to watch over us because we're the ones who needs what you now have. PEACE, LOVE AND HAPPINESS.

Love Grandma

See You Later by Grandma Ruby

Oh...my grandbaby. You don't know the pain that I am in. I have lost you on the same week I lost my dear sister. What pain I am in. When I saw you for the first time there was nothing anyone could tell me...I knew you were my little fighter. You have given me the strength that I need to get through this tremendous loss. But I say to you little one that I do not say goodbye...I will see you later. You are in Jehovah's Memory book and you will NOT be forgotten. You will forever and ever remain in my heart. See you later Santana!!!

May Jehovah God Forever Bless You - You will be MISSED! by Aunt Dee

Santana,

It seems unreal to even think that you're no longer here! On your birth day, I remember looking at you and thinking "in twelve months your new nickname will be Fat Man". Although my heart is broken hearted and I'm filled with torn feelings/with the WHY's - I know deep down inside that Jehovah allowed you to be here for as long as you were for a reason! You will lie in the hearts of those who love you until the end of time.

You are a true blessing and will forever and always be remembered for your strength...I'll see you soon my little fat man...I'll see you soon!

Love Always and Forever,
Aunt Dee

My precious grandson by renee moore

The sweetest little thing you ever saw. I fell in love with him the moment I laid eyes upon him. I held him after his passing and our hearts touched. I will never be the same. However, I do know that God makes no mistakes and Santana is now being held by the most high.
Santana, I love you and I will see you again.

Forever Loved by Dina

I'm sure God will remeber you with tender loving care,
for you are the most beautiful baby I have ever seen 'I do swear'
But all we have to remember you by are photos and your belongings.
Our hearts seem to have formed a very large tear, left baffled, shocked and in despair.
We know that life is not always that fair.
But the pain is at ease for there are people showing they care.
Santana, it will take time but don't worry for we will be there.

Sweet dreams Little One
Auntie Dina
