Shaina Tyler-Nicole Garber Born still on January
1, 1999 at 25 weeks gestation. Unknown cause...autopsy revealed
she was perfect...no explanation at all as to what happened. She
weighed 1 pound, 1 1/2 ounces and was 11 inches long. She is our
one and only daughter...
Daughter of Matt & Jody Garber. Big Sister of Koby, Brayden
& Dayne Garber.
This is a poem I wrote for Shaina- Oct. 2001 It was published in
the Salem, OR chapter of the Compassionate Friends newsletter-
June 2002
*The definition of the name 'Shaina' does mean 'beautiful'
according to my baby names books.*
Shaina Means Beautiful
'Shaina' means beautiful
like the curtains of night, pinned
back by the stars.
All the lights are out across town,
but we cannot sleep - the pain is
only ours.
'Shaina' means beautiful
like the sweet scent of spring,
promising new life all around.
She was born in the springtime, but
breaking the promise,
she was born months earlier, not
making a sound.
'Shaina' means beautiful
like the warm dewdrops of Heaven,
kissing a rose.
To us, the dew is not water at all,
but the tears of angels. It's our
secret - no one knows.
'Shaina' means beautiful
like the persistent sun, peeking at
us through the gray.
Our hearts were once filled with
sadness and hurt,
but God comforts us - on our knees
we pray.
'Shaina' means beautiful
like our most precious memories of you.
Shaina, we dream of your perfect
little face-
for you, our angel, no other name
would do.

How softly you tiptoed into our world. Almost silently a moment you stayed, but what an imprint your footsteps have left upon our hearts.
In memory of Daxton
live birth dateJanuary 19, 1997
date diedMarch 08, 2005
Daxton was born a "special"
child. He brought more joy to my
life than I could ever imagine.
Daxton couldn't speak and his
vision and developmental delays
did not allow him to use sign
language. He found his own way to
communicate. I know that he was
the Lord's precious gift to not
only my husband and I but all our
families and all the lives that he
touched. We were blessed to have
him for the 8 years we had him.
We will forever love and miss
him. Looking forward to seeing
him in heaven where all of his
burdens are gone. He was always
happy and a big inspiration to
me. We love you and miss you
Daxton.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
