Gi y Ollie 🤍

Hay angelitos que llegan a este mundo para mostrarnos el amor tan inmenso que podemos llegar a sentir y Benito definitivamente fue uno de ellos.

Aunque su tiempo fue muy corto, el amor que despertó en nuestros corazones será para siempre. Que Benito sea ese angelito que seguirá cuidándolos y amándolos desde el cielo. 🤍

Les envío un abrazo muy fuerte

Gigi and Olly,

Where do I even begin? My soul aches, and my heart is broken.💔

Baby Benito brought so much joy to my heart from the very first moment you shared the news with me and the Gals. The most beautiful Galcito chose to leave far too soon, and although it has shattered us, I can feel him surrounding all of us with the infinite love we’ll always remember him for.🩵

I truly hope that with each passing day you find a little more peace and strength to carry this grief in the gentlest way possible.✨

I love you so much, Gigi. I hope to see you soon so I can give you the biggest hug. You are all always in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻

Amor infinito para ambos, cuídense mucho y no duden en contactarnos para lo que crean que podemos apoyar.

Dear Benny,
I was devastated to learn that you came earthside and left again, leaving a huge hole in your parents' hearts. I cannot begin to imagine the grief of losing you. What I can say is that your parents adored you, and they adore you still. I'm so sad that you didn't get to experience more of their loving, fun, and nurturing spirits, or the beautiful life they had dreamed of sharing with you.
Although your time here was heartbreakingly short, you were surrounded by love from the very beginning. You will always be deeply loved, forever missed, and forever a precious part of your family's story.
Sending all my love and strength to Gigi and Olly as you navigate the days ahead - my heart aches for your loss.

Dear Olan & Gigi,

There are no words that will take away the pain of what you are going through. Our hearts break with yours. We know this pain, and we wish with everything in us that neither of our families knew this kind of heartbreak, and that both Benny and Cooper were in our arms instead. Please know that you are not alone. We will be here to remember Benny with you, to speak his name, and to honour the incredible love you will always have for your beautiful son. We will carry our beautiful boys with us for the rest of our lives.

Benny, you will always be loved, remembered, and missed dearly. You are loved so deeply and will always be in all of our hearts and part of our family. You will never be forgotten.

Rest peacefully, sweet Baby Benny. We pray that you and your cousin Cooper are together now, watching over all of us until the day we can hold you both again. May you always know how deeply you are loved, and may you forever rest in God’s eternal peace.

Love Claire, Shane & Farrah x

It’s impossible to reconcile the sense of injustice everyone here feels for you both. As I said to you, Bennys name couldn’t be a more evocative representation of you both as amazing humans - full of life, joy and a friend to many. Benny had many adventures over his short life and with the help of everyone here we will all support you in keeping those memories front and centre for the special parents that you are. Wishing you both so much love and support. Gaz and Kahina
