	My Sugar Pie, Big Girl, Mom’s Girl, MaMaMaMaMaMa and My Piece of the Pie that Grew SO BIG and turned into My Whole Pie, I cannot put my finger on just one memory of you, because in your 6 ½ months of life I had over a million that I will never forget!! I miss you to the moon and back sugar pie!! I wish I could just see you, hold you, kiss you, talk to you and see if you are okay! I always wonder if you are dancing around with the angels and how you are doing with your new set of Angel Wings! There is never a day that goes by that I do not think of you Pie! I see your pictures all around our house everyday and I talk to you everyday, because I know that you are such a good listener! I know that you are watching over your Dad, Andrew, and I… We have reasons to really believe that you are! I will never forget you Addison Nicole, My Precious Daughter, Mom’s Big Girl, My SUGAR PIE!!! And I will always love you! Love Mommy One Memory that sticks out in my mind is when I would be holding you and saying MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMA to you and you would be smiling at me of course! But then your Dad would hear me and he would come in and start sayingDADADADADADADA! But then Andrew would hear him and come in and start saying BUBBABUBBABUBBA! We all wanted you to be able to say ours’ first. But you and I know just how much MAMAMAMAMA was your favorite!!!!
Every minute that I had with my little girl was the best!! I can not pick out just one memory because there was not just one memory there were millions. I will never forget the first basketball game she went to. She loved to help me with my basketball stats and she loved to watch OU basketball games with me. I also know that she loved to go swimming with me!! Addison you will always be dad's "first", from the day you were born I was the proudest DAD in the whole world. You made me so happy and I treasured every minute that I had with you. Addison, you will always be "DAD's GIRL" and you and I will always know who your favorite is, even though your MOM thinks it is her. We will just let her think that!!! You will always be DADDY's little girl and DADDY'S little angel!!! I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!! Always, Your Daddy
	I really miss talking to my Sister! As a joke I would tell Addison "DO NOT smile!" or DO NOT laugh!" and Addison would smile GREAT BIG or make a kind of laughing noise out loud to me. This was VERY special to me! Love, Andrew, Your Bubba, OX
I remember me and Addison looking at each other and both thinking, "lets get this tube out of my nose and play ball".. Love Papa Jack
	My special memory of Addison is how beautiful she looked at her Aunt Moo's Bat Mitzvah. She was all dressed up and looked gorgeous and it meant so much to have her here. Besides how beautiful she looked at Amanda's Bat Mitzvah, I wanted to say it was so special that Addison was able to attend Aunt Moo's Bat Mitzvah. Keira, you truly are an amazing daughter, mother, and friend. I love you very much. Love Barn
One of the fondest memories I have of Baby Addison is when I would tell her stories of her mom's childhood. It just seemed like she was listening to every word of every story... especially the FEW where her mom wasn't such a little girl! Love Gram
	Love Grandpa Benny
What sticks in my mind the most (and everybody elses' for that matter) is the way I could always get Addison to smile at me with my Gama, Gama, Gama saying... Love Grandma T
	...the one thing that always comes to my mind when I think about Addison, which is at sometime everyday.. I remember the first time you put her in my arms and she looked up at me, so beautiful and precious, it was love at first sight. Papa was so happy he could walk with her just like he did with all you children. It's his way of bonding. She was and is loved so very much.. Love Papa Sr. and Nana
How's my sweet little squeedunk? Love Granny OO How's my baby sweetheart? Love Grandpa H
	Addison it was always a joy to come see you and talk to you and see how you had changed each time I came. Love Mema
Our relationship began when your daddy and I were arm in arm watching you come into this world. Your poor mom!! During those moments she didn't have anyone to rub her feet or hold her hand. We were all wrapped up in you. You were such a precious baby. From that moment on I loved you. I remember as if it were yesterday the first time I held you in my arms at the hospital. We were both thrilled. I was thrilled because you were a beautiful addition to the family and I already knew how loved you would be. You were thrilled because I was wearing a Texas shirt. By this time you had already been introduced to those two letters O&U by having to wear a O U hat. They had overwhelmed you with O U and Texas was a sight for soar eyes (even though your parents wouldn't agree). After leaving the hospital that early morning I could not wait to see you again that evening. And when I came back I could tell that you were happy to see me. We continued to be filled with excitement every time We were able to see each other. I came to see you often and would hold you any chance that I had. I love you Addison! Although Aunt Dana and I will always have a different idea on who your favorite aunt was (I know you and I have the same idea!), we do agree on one thing and that is that you are our first favorite niece. Love Aunt Kendra BABY....KISS.... I loved to hold and kiss you. I would kiss you so hard that it would almost pull out your feeding tube. I would do that on purpose because I knew that you didn't want that thing in anyway. And I really liked to share my clothes with you, you looked really cute in them! Oh yeah, I learned how to say your name in October 2005. I yuv u baby Yatitin!! Love Kennedy I loved the day that I tickled Addison and she smiled at me. Love Kendyl
	Baby Addison has gone on. At least I think she is. Where? Heaven. But it is easier for her now To stop, and go, and play, and sing, and dance. Baby Addison, good-bye, I know you are having so much fun. I miss you. We miss you. And all your friends and family Sends… - What could we possibly send someone who has everything we desire? - Well, anyhow, we send Our love Love Uncle A.D.
My favorite memory is going the beach with her when she was in California and at the beach for the first time. Love Aunt Nick
	I remember how important it was, and still is, to me that Addison was able to come all the way out here for my Bat Mitzvah. It was such a long car ride for all of you and it meant so much being able to meet her. Love Aunt Moo
While everyone moment I spent with you was PRICELESS, the one that sticks out the most would have to be the day you were born. I remember sitting in the hospital room and I was holding you. I was having a conversation with you as if no one else was in the room. I told you how alike we were since we were both born on the 18th (I was born in April, you in January). You were small when you were born just like I was. I was going on and on about how you and I had SO much in common. About that time your mommy, daddy, Grandma Terre, Gram and anyone else that was in the room at that time just started laughing at me. I didn't care because I was having that first special moment for my FIRST niece. From that point on every time I came home, your mom would always say "That's the one that we've been telling you about. The one that thinks you're SO alike." We always had to laugh about that and I know you enjoyed hearing those stories. I might have been your CRAZY AUNT that everyone told you stories about but I really believe that you and I will ALWAYS have the special bond. I knew it from the moment I found out we were having you. I will always be that CRAZY AUNT of yours that will spend the rest of my life making you proud of me because we do have so much in common!! I love you to pieces peanut!!!! Love Aunt Dana
	Addison - one of my favorite memories of you was the time I was holding you at your house. I was wearing my Mizzou shirt and you were in your little OU outfit. Everyone kept telling you to spit-up on your Uncle Ya-Ya's shirt. Love Uncle YaYa
Love Uncle Dan
	Addison made my day every time that I saw her! I loved the fact that she knew when I was there she was going to be able to suck on her hands, for the fact that I would always take her gloves off. Love Aunt Staci
...we enjoyed being able to have Addison with us for Easter, I know it made our Easter extra special and we will never forget all the fun we had with her. We love you lots and your always in our hearts. Love Rick, Tiffany, Kathyrn and Dylan
	I remember when Addison and Anthony were laying on the floor trying to grab each others hands. Love Ally and Josh I will always love baby Addison! Love Anthony
I remember the first time I met her she was so precious and had such a cute personality. We will always have the memories of Addison on Easter. Love Auntie and Uncle Tom I remember being at the beach with Addison, Darren, Keira, Andrew, Kayleigh taking pictures. She seemed so happy being in the sun!! Love Lisa and Love Your California Cousins
	Baby Addison, I pray every night that God holds you close in his arms. I love you. Jalen
Sweet Angel Addison, You blessed our lives in countless ways. Your spirit and love will live on in our home always. We will love you forever. Love Cliff & Casie
	Addison---One day you will learn of the impact you have on us in understanding courage, hope, passion, faith and love--to name a few. Sometimes life issues obstacles that are neither welcomed nor wanted but you overcame tremendous odds to provide many moments of laughter and enjoyment for your family. Courage- your ability to fight for all you strived to see. Many times we give up on the most basic of situations, but you taught us differently. Hope- the continuous progress in life. You offer encouragement and integrity to all who seem to struggle. Passion- whether close family members and friends on the outside, you touch the lives of all who know you; impacting their daily lives and teaching us how to be better people. Faith- without it, what do you have? We have learned anything is possible and realistic. If it wasn't for you, we made be lost. Love- the never-ending feeling toward you, teaching us the true meaning. You are in our hearts, making it stronger and bigger. You are in our thoughts before we sleep, as we awake, and endless moments in between. A thought I send to you...............As You Rest Where the White Dove Sings, One Day We'll All Have Perfect Wings! Bless You Always! Love Cory
Precious Baby Addison, Oh, sweet girl! How do we even begin to describe how special you are to us or how deeply you touched our hearts! You were such a wonderful little miracle! Everyone could feel how proud your mommy & daddy were of you. I don't know of anyone who has had as much of an impact on anyone's life the way you did! You were (and still are) a very powerful little angel! We'll never understand why God took you from us so soon, but we'll always know that he chose the most special of the little angels. You will never be forgotten~We'll cherish every moment that we had with you~You're in all of our hearts forever! Watch over us, little angel--keep us on the right path so that one day, we'll be with you again! ~We love you~ Love ~Shannon & Dennis~ Special Angel Addison, I always thought of you as a birthday present, because you were born two days after my birthday (I was born the 16th of January). I know I only saw you a few times, but when I hear your name or see pictures of you, I know in my heart that I will never forget you, because you were such a little angel to me and you will always be that no matter what. And just remember that eventhough you are up in heaven watching over us, we still miss you very much. ~I love you VERY much and I will never forget you~ Love ~Lanie~ Baby Addison, I know you didn't know me very well, but that doesn't mean that you weren't special to me! I wear one of your little angel pins almost everyday--and when anybody asks me what it's for--I'm very proud to say that it's for my little cousin who is up in heaven! ~I miss you very much, Addison~ Love ~Bailey Jo~ Baby Addison, You will always be in my heart and I will pray that God is taking care of you and that he is having so much fun watching you dance in your little pink ballerina slippers. ~I love you~ Love ~Kylie~ Momma--she looks just like a baby doll! ~I love you Addison~ Love ~Logan~
	Living so far away, we didn't get to see you that often. It was always nice when we did get to see you because there was always so much happiness in the air. One favorite memory I have of you is when some of the little cousins went swimming at your mommy and daddy's pool. The water was freezing! You were a trooper for a while, but then let us know you were way too cold. You never complained about being in the cold water though. We still think about you every day Addison. Every now and again Aidan will look at one of your pictures and quietly say, "Sssh, Baby Addison is sleeping." It still amazes me how many lives you touched in such a short time, especially your young cousins. Love Janaye
I was always glad to see Addison at baseball games, I was one of the lucky ones that held her. She would sing me a song ( others might call it cooing) but it was a song. I loved giving her hugs and kisses, and she always smelled so sweet. Another time I stopped at the house and was talking to her I started to count the smiles and there were so many I lost count. MAYBE the best memory was July 30th, she had pulled her tube out( so she didn't have gloves either) And you could tell she felt free, throwing the arms, and kicking her feet. Listening to every word. She was SOOOOO HAPPY! I will always remember that day. Love Maggie
	When I would kiss Addison I couldn't tell if it made her happy or upset. Sometimes she would smile and sometimes she would look at me and almost frown. Either way, I'll never forget her little angelic face. Love Alfred
Love Jules Addison - I have several favorite memories of you... but I think the one that stands out the most is you at the ball games... your Mommy would yell SO loud while she was holding you! But that would give the rest of us a good excuse to steal you from her! :) You are such a precious little angel! Love James
