Isabel's huge smile and gorgeous wild red hair have forever captured my heart. I think of Isabel and her mommy so often. My heart breaks that she is no longer here to light up the lives of those who love her so dearly. There are no words to express the loss of this beautiful girl, but the love she left behind is palpable.

Just stopping by to see Isabel. I just can't get enough of her smiling face! My heart aches for you...knowing how much you must miss her every single moment of the day. I feel truly blessed to have come to "know" her through all you have shared with us at MISS. The two of you will always have a very special place in my heart.

Margo and family, Your beautiful little daughter will sincerely be missed by me at The Sweet Shoppe and by my husband Jack at Lowe's. It would be the highlight of our day when you brought Isabel with you for a treat or a needed home improvement item. While her time on earth was short, it was quite obvious that she lived a very happy life, just look at that smile. She was lucky to have such fine parents and a wonderful sister who loved her with all their might just as you in turn were lucky to have her. Please accept our sympathy and know that Isabel will be in our prayers for a long time as well as your family. Jack and Alice Lee

Bizzy was always one of our favorite children at Pufferbellies, along with her big sister Grace. I loved to sit down and play with her at the kitchen--she was always laughing and smiling and ready to chat, about her day at preschool or about how excited she was that Grace would be home from school soon! I'm so thankful that I was blessed to have known her, and I am keeping you all in my prayers during this difficult time.

I am so shocked and so sorry for all of you. Isabel was such a blessing the day I had her in class at Church. She had such a sweet smile and spirit. I was so sad that she wouldn't stay the second time. I blame myself for this because I saw her in the parking lot and was so busy getting stuff together that I didn't take time to speak. That has bothered me every since. I have been looking forward to having another chance with her. She really stole my heart. I never thought I would never get a chance to see her again. I can only imagine your pain. I am so sorry. You are in my prayers. Isabel was blessed to have such a wonderful family. Grace was the best big sister ever. I will pray God take this burden and fill your hearts with his great love & peace. If I can help in anyway please let me know. Blessing to you all. Miss Penny

Coralee Sheldon - friend and grieving mom

Hello MISSister I saw one of your posts on MISS and clicked on the link for Bizzy's memorial, just wanting to get to know her a bit. Her photos are so precious and the wonderful words from your friends and family - just so pleased to find you surrounded by so much love which I hope will help to carry you through the difficult days/weeks/months ahead. I am horrified to see another parent join MISS but also hope that you find the support from those who have experienced your pain supportive. My Thomas, was 15 months when he died. There are not as many parents of older children on the site so if you want to PM me any time please feel free. 2 years since losing Tom I waver in and out of MISS but am always happy to talk on a more personal level. All the messages posted here are so personal - from dear friends and family. Hope that this isn't an intrusion. Take care Missing Bizzy with you. Coralee (toms mum) xx x

Dear Jim and Margo --- Altho I do not know you or your sweet daughter I needed to write to you and express my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family in your loss.

Arlynda Boyer - Friend

Dear Margo, Jim, and Grace, I join everyone else who knew Isabel in being saddened by her loss. She was a bright, curious child. Every time I saw her she was asking questions about everything and so full of self-assurance that it was clear she knew just how important and loved she was. I wish there were something I could do or say to take away some of your pain. Why you have been chosen for such struggle in life is beyond my understanding. I would gladly take some of it on for you if I could. Your courage and steadfast faith (something that doesn't come easily to me) is amazing. Isabel was mighty indeed, and she inherited her mightiness from you. You are loved (and Jim, also a little feared, but that's okay), and you only have to reach out a hand to any of us if you need anything. Wishing you peace, Arlynda Boyer and James Rogauskas

Dearest Margo, Bizzy will surely be missed. I have barely slept a wink since getting this dreadful news, but have been in constant prayer for you all the days and nights long. I can't imagine your loss, your pains. Bizzy was a delightful little sweetie. When I think of her smile and bouncy little ponytails it brings joy to my heart. I use Grace and Bizzy as an example for my own girls. Bizzy, so lucky to have Grace and Grace the most wonderful, motherly big sister a little girl could have. You Margo are the best mother I have ever met and Bizzy had the best of this world through you and your loving family. I want to share with you the way my Ivy viewed your sweet Bizzy. She saw her at the mall play area a couple weekends ago. I was in the car and Ivy was so excited to tell me she saw Bizzy! Her words, "MOMMY! Miss Mawgo's teeny tiny wuttle gul dare, with the awnge haya! (with a pinched face and a big grin, tickling the air she says) her so velly coote! This is the way she always described your Bizzy, I will always remember her this way. I hope this brings a smile to your heart. Thanks for your friendship and know that you and your family will be a constant prayer in my heart forever. Bless you sweet Margo and please send our love to Grace, your mom and your husband. Love the Millers (Adam, Danielle, Ivy-Anne and Willow)

Fred Randall-Father of my friend

Dear Margo, Craig sent me your e-mail about the loss of your daughter Isabel and I wanted to express my deepest condolences. I have been there and done that and I personally understand that there is nothing like the loss of a child. When we lost Marci, we found a support group call Compassionate Friends. This is a nation wide organization which allows you to deal with the loss of your children. This was the best thing that ever happened to me related to my accepting and dealing with the loss of Marci. A real good bet for you and Jim. It really helped me, as the tough guy, to deal with the grief. Just remember, although the grief never goes away, it does get more manageable and at least the spells get farther apart. My love and heart felt sympathy to you and your family. You take care, Fred Randall

We still can hardly believe it. How can our wonderful Bizzy, filled with that much life, that much determination, and that much love be gone from this world? Isabel taught us so much: the meaning of true beauty and strength, how love really does triumph, how every person has a wisdom and spirit all her own right from the beginning. We are so much better for having known her. Our hearts can hardly comprehend a future without her.

Margo and the Family of Dear, Dear Isabel, I was so saddened to hear of the passing of that precious, gleeful little redheaded Isabel with her contagious smile.

When Dr. Jennifer called through her tears to tell me of Isabel's passing we shared a loving prayer for you, her devoted family.

Margo & Jim, There are no words or beliefs that I can offer you in this moment of anguish that will ease the pain. I know you both you to be kind, loving, generous people who must be terrific parents. I regret that I never met Isabel--she sounds amazing--and that I can not be there to offer whatever comfort I could. Please know you are in my thoughts--you are not alone; you have so much love in your lives and now is the time to let those around you show just how much you have given them. Keep each other close and be kind to yourselves. With much love, Philip Lortie Grief fills the room up of my absent child, Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me, Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words, Remembers me of all his gracious parts, Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form. Then have I reason to be fond of grief. - William Shakespeare, The Life and Death of King John

One of our greatest pleasures at Pufferbellies has been to see Margot, Grace, and Bizzy come dancing into Pufferbellies, led, of course, by Bizzy. We loved watching Bizzy drag the little stepstool over to the kitchen--every time--so that she could cook and wash dishes. Bizzy was a bright spirit who generously shared her energy with us. We all will miss her. We are holding your family in our hearts.
