Toddler starves to death after mother dies

I don’t know if you still check this site Mike so I don’t know if you will even read this. I was an old friend of Janelle’s, Cindy’s, Aaron’s and Boo’s and when I first heard about this I was completely beside myself, as was my sister who was also friends with Janelle Aaron and Boo. I so wish I had been able to keep in touch with Janelle over the years, but am very sad to say that we lost touch a few years after Earnie was born. He was still a baby the last time I saw Janelle, she had brought him over to my house for a visit. I attended the service for Janelle and Zeke and wanted so much to share my memories of her when asked, but the tears and the overwhelming grief I was feeling kept me from doing so, I knew I would go up there and do nothing more than cry and not be able to say the things I wanted to say. The Janelle I remember had this really sweet soft spoken voice, a very gentle voice! She had the biggest heart and the sweetest soul! When I saw her with Earnie she was always so sweet and gentle with him, just the perfect little mother. I was saddened to hear she had gotten into drugs after Earnie, but was happy to hear she was turning her life around. If anyone could overcome it, it was Janelle! She also always had a smile to share and a laugh that would always make me laugh, she always seemed so happy with life!
I still cry when I think about her being gone and when I think of little Zeke, it breaks my heart still! I wish I had been able to be there for her more!
Your entire family are in my prayers! May you find some sort of comfort knowing that Janelle and Zeke are together in Heaven with your wonderful mom, whom I loved dearly!

When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of His love.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold,
so he picks a rosebud,
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few,
to make the land of Heaven,
more beautiful to vew.
Believing this is difficult,
still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be “goodbye”.
So when a child departs,
we who are left behind,
must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.
