~In Loving Memory~
Casey James Overacker
March 2, 2001-March 9, 2001
The following tells the story of our son, Casey James, who died March 09, 2001.
Casey James was born after only 28 weeks gestation weighing 1 pound 4 ˝ ounces; he was 11 ˝ inches long. He lived on this earth for just 6 days, 12 ˝ hours. To you, this may sound like a heart breaking story, but my husband and I think that we were so incredibly lucky to have been able to enjoy those days with our precious little boy.
We are grateful to have had Casey even though it was for such a short time. We were able to get to know our son and he was able to meet many of his family and friends. Casey liked to have his head rubbed and he loved to hold his mommy and daddy’s hand. Casey had blonde hair and blue eyes, just like his mommy and daddy did when they were little. He had his mommy’s lips, fingers and toes and his daddy’s earlobes and flat feet.
We treasure our memories of Casey and take great comfort in knowing he was able to touch so many people’s lives during his short life. Our hope is that this will continue as people visit this website we have dedicated to our Casey James. We are very proud that he chose us to be his parents.

Oh the longing we both had
to be a mommy and a dad
We put our hopes and dreams in you
He hoped for pink, I dreamed of blue
But for you God had a different plan
One we may never understand
We were visited by an angel
Though we didn't know it then
You were the answer to our prayer
Our Angel Unaware
We barely got to say hello
Before we had to let you go
God breathed your name
and called you home
So briefly here, so quickly gone
But in the stillness of the night
My empty arms still hold you tight
We were visited by an angel
Though we didn't know it then
You were the answer to our prayer
Our Angel Unaware
In my mind I see you running
Chasing bees and butterflies
Soft hair gently blowing
Healthy cheeks, laughing eyes
in the quietness of the morning
When the mist hangs in the air
I hold you close within my heart
My Angel Unaware
How can I miss someone so much
I barely had the chance to touch
Yet as you grew inside of me
I learned how strong a love could be
I knew you for a lifetime
I'll love you all of mine
We were visited by an angel
Though we didn't know it then
You were the answer to our prayer
Our Angel Unaware
