Hard to believe it has been one year since we lost Casey to infant reflux disease. He is still missed by all who knew this little guy, and his life was celebrated in a big way in the Houston area on his birthday (September 21st), with the Mayor proclaiming it Casey Alexander Martinez day. We still miss our little Casey, but I wanted to report that my granddaughter and her husband welcomed another son to their family in October 2010, Noah Adrian, and he is a perfectly healthy little boy. God doesn't send us more than we can handle, and this new child is a true blessing. I haven't gotten to see Noah yet, but they are coming after Christmas to visit. Merry Christmas to all...hugs, Judy

    Dear Casey is your little angel up in heaven now.
    So sorry for your loss, Judy. I can't imagine the grief of losing a sweet, innocent little baby.

    I am so happy, though, about Noah. Hoping he brings everyone years of joy. I bet you can't wait to see and hold that little boy.

    Merry Christmas,
    Renee

    HUGS!
    Merry Christmas to you and yours Judy, it will be special to have little Noah with you this year what a true blessing. In my minds eye I see little Casey hugging Noah before he arrives and telling him what a special family he is entering.

    Much love to you and yours,

    Judy im with Char in her
    Judy im with Char in her statement. Couldnt of said it better!
    My nephew lost his 2 month old baby a few years back to a heart condition and i see how it still effects him...he is still not understandably over it and probably will never be. I think loosing an infant is one of the hardest to deal with no matter how your related to it. There are no words that can make the hurt, or missing them go away.
    Just enjoy your new blessing and i'll be thinking of you!

    Casey will always be in your
    Casey will always be in your heart. Losing children is so difficult and it is something I don't think it is something that we every totally get over. It is comforting to know that they had a healthy baby and I can't wait until you take pictures of you holding baby Noah. I hope that your holiday is filled with family, love and good health.

    Oh Judy,
    I was going to say

    Oh Judy,
    I was going to say it doesn't seem possible that a year has gone by~ thank you for reminding us, difficult as it must be for you and Casey's darling parents. Noah is a blessing, special and unique ~ and of course not at all a replacement. A gift of epic proportion!
    I can't help but think that after the Great Flood, the one entrusted with family life was also named Noah...

    May you all be blessed~you deserve it.

    Happiest of Holidays,
    Chen♥

    Judy,
    I can't even imagine. I am so happy that another baby came to bask in all the love his parents have to give.
