This memorial website was created in the memory of our precious little angel, Hazel Virginia Ducat who got her wings on September 24th, 2007 @ 3:24am. Her mommy was 39 weeks along in a perfect pregnancy. Something decided to stop her heart & take her from us. She was born perfect! I guess they thought to perfect for this world? Perfect chunky cheeks, cute hands & feet to kiss on. She was born at St. Mary's Hospital in Kankakee, Illinois on September 24, 2007. Her mommy, daddy, big sis Ella, and her new baby brother Eli love her & miss her soo much & always will. She will always be that star that shines the brightest(an official star located next to the big dipper) every night when we look out the window or sitting on the porch thinking about her. We know that Nana G & many others up there are taking good care of you & Jake is there protecting you!

WE LOVE YOU HAZEL VIRGINIA DUCAT FOREVER & ALWAYS!

Mommy made you a special video with the precious pictures St. Mary's hospital took of you :o)

*(Found on the right side labeled Hazel's video)*

Precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to us.
So perfect, pure, and innocent
Just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life
And all that it would be.
We waited and longed for you to come.
And join our family.
We never had the chance to play,
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle.
We long to hold you, touch you now
And listen to you giggle.
She will always be your mother,
He will always be your dad.
She will always be your big sister
You will always be their child,
The child that they had.
But now you're gone...but yet you're here
We all will sense you everywhere.
You are our sorrow, our joy,
our sweet precious angel
There's love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong
We'll forget you never--
The child we had, but never had
And yet will have forever!

AN ANGEL NEVER DIES
DON'T LET THEM SAY I WASN'T BORN
THAT SOMETHING STOPPED MY HEART
I FELT EACH TENDER SQUEEZE YOU GAVE
I'VE LOVED YOU FROM THE START
ALTHOUGH MY BODY YOU CAN'T HOLD
IT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GONE
THIS WORLD WAS WORTHY,NOT OF ME
GOD CHOSE THAT I MOVE ON
I KNOW THE PAIN THAT DROWNS YOUR SOUL
WHAT YOU ARE FORCED TO FACE
YOU HAVE MY WORD,I'LL FILL YOUR ARMS
SOMEDAY WE WILL EMBRACE
YOU'LL HEAR THAT IT WAS"MEANT TO BE"
GOD DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES
BUT THAT WON'T SOFTEN YOUR WORST BLOW
OR MAKE YOUR HEART NOT ACHE
I'M WATCHING OVER ALL YOU DO
ANOTHER CHILD YOU'LL BEAR
BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY TO YOU
THAT I AM ALWAYS THERE
THERE WILL COME A TIME,I PROMISE YOU
WHEN YOU WILL HOLD MY HAND
STROKE MY FACE AND KISS MY LIPS
AND THEN YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
ALTHOUGH I'VE NEVER BREATHED YOUR AIR
OR GAZED INTO YOUR EYES
THAT DOESN'T MEAN I NEVER "WAS"
AN ANGEL NEVER DIES
