how much Lexi was loved.

Please sign her guest book in her memory. I hope she will touch your heart
as much as she did ours.

Lexi's Story


Alexis "Lexi" Jade Mayberry was born on November 9, 2000. She weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz. with a headful of hair. From the moment I saw her, she was my beautiful precious angel.


This is a beautiful and loving gift for Angel Alexis from my dear friend, Carol, mom to Angel Michael.




Lexi and I had a wonderful special bond. She slept in the bed with me till she was about 4 months old. I put her in the crib one night to see how she would do, and from then on she loved her crib. She was a very good baby. When I would get ready for work in the morning, she would play and lay on the floor. Over the months, she developed her own cute little personality. She loved music, jewelry, flowers, reading her books and especially getting new clothes, except shoes and anything that went on her head. My mom would pick her up in the afternoon till I got off from work. She loved her nana.


Nana and Lexi.


Lexi loved to pick buttercups in nana's backyard and watch the butterflies and birds fly. On the weekend we would sit on the floor and read her books, watch TV, and she loved to help me clean house. She would follow me through the house wherever I went. I could always count on her being right behind me.


Mama and Lexi.



Lexi usually carried her favorite purple beaded necklace. She loved them. When we watched TV, her favorite show was "Fresh Prince of Bel Air." She loved the music.


The living room was full of toys and so was Lexi's bedroom. She was so very sweet and playful. She was such a good happy girl. I remember when she first started talking, she was just so cute. Her laugh was one in a million.



I loved my baby so very much. I took her picture all the time. She loved to have her picture taken or for me to videotape her. Now I am so thankful that I have those gifts. I tried so hard to be a good mother and protect her.


Mama and Lexi.



On the morning of February 6, 2002, it snowed a little bit. We got up as usual because I had to go to work. I took her to my mom's, and she was taking her to daycare later. I told Lexi I loved her, gave her a hug and a kiss, and said I'll see you later. If I had only known what would happen that day.


This picture was taken the morning Lexi passed away...


My mom took Lexi to the at-home daycare where she had been going for about 6 months. I got a phone call around lunchtime that changed my life forever. Lexi stopped breathing. A friend and co-worker drove me to the hospital where I found out what had happened. Lexi was given a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch, which she shouldn't have been eating. She only had 4 teeth. She was also unsupervised while she was eating. Lexi choked on the sandwich. I was in utter shock. My baby was gone because of someone's neglect. Someone that was supposed to be taking care of my child. Lexi was 14 months old.



Lexi turned 15 months on the day that she was buried. I miss my baby so much. Not a day goes by where I don't think about her sweet little face. She was my only child. I promised Lexi the day I buried her, I would inform and educate parents about daycare rules, so no other parent would ever lose their child because of daycare neglect. I will keep that promise to her. Even though Lexi was only in my life for a short 15 months, she gave me so much. I am thankful that I have 15 months of memories of my baby Lexi.

In loving memory of Lexi
I miss you and love you very much,
Mama





If Grief Were Measured in Tears

If grief were measured in tears,
There could not be a compromise.
When I lost my child that day...
Tears began to flow from my eyes.

The tears have stained my face,
And left my heart with a scar.
A scar that shall never be erased,
Tears ease the pain from afar.

Grief is different for everyone.
Each stage is oh so real.
And no one can tell you how to grieve.
They can only share how they feel.

No parent should bury their child.
This fact seems so unfair.
Grief tells a heart its been defiled.
Tears flow from here to there.

If the tears I have cried to measure
How much grief is in my heart,
There is no limit to the pain I feel.
My life has been torn apart.

I know how other mothers feel.
I see the tears they too cry.
Oh, grief were measured in tears...
We could fill the earth and the sky.

Dearest Mommy, I am with you always.


JOY IN HEAVEN

Listen...can you hear it?
A heavenly choir sings.
Another little angel just got her set of wings.
There's joy and there is shouting
As she steps through heaven's gate.
They all lined up to greet her.
All the angels celebrate.
Her eyes are shining brightly
And a smile lights her face,
As she receives her halo
And takes her special place.
She's the smallest little angel
With the biggest kind of love.
She's wiser than an owl
And more peaceful than a dove.
And though there's joy in heaven,
There is sorrow down below.
broken hearts are crying
Since they had to let her go.
So she watches them from heaven
But she knows the time will come,
They will join their precious daughter
When their work on earth is done

Dear Tresly
It broke my heart again reading over your sweet ANGEL Alexis's story.
I can only imagine how much you miss her.
But just know you will see her smiling face again, and that she had.
MUCH LOVE

"The poetry that was written on Lexi's WebPages
by yourself and your family, touched my heart so deeply
A mother's love for her child so great,
that the memory of a special angel lingers on."


For You Lexi

Sweet Little Angel of God
Gone too soon, and there upon your mommy's face
Are tears that fall like rain, as you wait for her
in that sweet place, where one day she will rock you
once again in that place where angels fall asleep,
Where now you are immortal, and the Lord your soul does keep.
With My Love and Prayers
May God Bless you Always
Ann, Laurasmom


For Alexis
A Little Angel in God's Kingdom
With Love and My Deep Sorrow
