Gavin Christopher Rivers

God Bless this little Angel.

Chris and Aimee,

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Thank you so much for sharing Gavin with us. I have enjoyed visiting with your family. I will never forget Gavin's sweet smile and those big beautiful eyes. Hugs and prayers to you all!

Sincerely,
Annie Clary

my heart goes out to all of the family. will be asking God to relieve your hurt and emptiness. <3

Just wanted to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We are so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Gavin's death. He is a gorgeous little boy who looks like he lit up every room he was in! He will be missed.

I witnessed a strength I have never seen in a man before, that of a father carrying his son. The honor, respect and love of a child has never been shown so completely.

what a beautiful, sweet celebration of Baby Gavin's short life! that beautiful angel touched more lives in his short 5 mths than most of us do in our lengthy lifetime! God bless you precious child! Thoughts and prayers continue for Christopher (Aaron), Aimee, Emilee, Melanie, and the rest of his family. The poem written by mommy was beautiful! Rest now Angel! You are now completely healed!

so so sorry to hear this i know Elmer ..

My heart goes out to y'all and y'all's family...I'm so sorry to hear about Gavin....y'all be in my prayers

Please know that you remain in our prayers. May God's peace saturate you and may HIS hands carry you at this time. I appreciate you allowing us to be a part of Gavin's life by sharing on FB. Daily ,when I would see his beautiful smile posted on FB it brought a multitude of feeling and truly warmed my heart. We love you Aimee and are here for you.

I was sadden to learn that Gavin lost his battle. He touched everyones heart with his beautiful smile and his bright eyes. Through those hard times he still smiled. He is a special Angel now with God.

My heart goes out to you and your beautiful family.

My sympathy for you and your family.

So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss he was precious.I love you all very much.

Dear Rivers Family-
We do not know eachother but as I was looking for the funeral service details of a friend of mine, I saw Gavin. My heart is broken for you. My prayers are with you and your family. There is nothing anyone can say to make you feel any better but please know that even strangers are broken hearted and praying for you.

"A Parable of Immortality" by Henry van Dyke.

I've always known it as "A Parable of Immortality" by Henry van Dyke.

I am standing by the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength,
and I stand and watch
until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says, 'There she goes!
Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all.

She is just as large in mast and hull and spar
as she was when she left my side
and just as able to bear her load of living freight
to the places of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says,
'There she goes! ' ,
there are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout :
'Here she comes!'

Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Praying for our Lord to send comfort to your family. Gavin has been an amazing lil baby. His smile will be remembered forever. We know he is free from pain & with Jesus. I pray for each of you to know that you were the best sissy and mommy and daddy and grandparent to your lil guy. What a blessing to have him in all our lives. Thank you lil Gavin for touching my life. God bless The Rivers family.

My precious little cousin:

Unbeknownst to you, you touched thousands of lives during your time with us. Your big beautiful blue-eyed smile gave grins to many people everyday. People from all corners, cultures, and belief systems. All sending so many thoughts, prayers and concern for you, Mom, Dad, and Emilee. Complete strangers caring about one another.. This has amazed me and I know brought much comfort to all of the family.

You have our love always little man..

My deepest sympathies to you and your family Chris

My heart goes out to all the family. What a precious Angel, smile so contagious!! Love and Prayers to All.

I saw on Avery's Bucket List page that your little angel had passed away. I wanted to take a moment to tell you that your family is in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Much love to you and your family from Huntsville, AL.

Chris, Aimee and Emilee, words can't describe how sad I am for ya. The loss of a child has to be the hardest thing to go through. Just know that God sent you a very special Angel, but he needed his Angel back so that cut Baby Gavin's time on earth short. But thank God he is not suffering tonight are will he ever suffer again. I also thank God that ya don't have to watch him suffer anymore. You had a very special precious baby, who was born to serve God, and he's doing that. My Prayers are with your whole family. Love Lisa

So sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss... My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

There are no words I can write to the family that would adequately convey our sincerest and deepest sympathy for the loss of little Gavin. May you all find strength in God's promise of the resurrection.

He was the happiest little man and loved his family so much. From his pictures, you could tell he never met a stranger. I cannot wait to see him in the paradise that Jesus spoke on the day he gave his life for us. Love you Chris, Aimee and Emilee. Our heart's weep with you

You are still in my prayers. May you find ccomfort in the hope of the resurrection John5;28,29. May you find strength by throwing your burden on Jehovah, May you find love from all your family and dear friends.Gavin will truley be missed he was so precious. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful pictures with us all. Love
Aunt Sabrina

My wife and I are so sorry for your loss.

I just can't imagine the hurt in your hearts right now. There is another bright star in the sky shining down on you now. He is with his heavenly Father and his Grandfather Randy. Love and prayers to you both.

I wish I had words to lighten your agony but sometimes words are just not enough. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Gavin was one of those butterflies!

We are so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to understand when a child a passes, but you have to believe that there are bigger and better plans for Gavin. Gavin will be with his Grandfather Randy looking down on you and sharing in your lives even though they are not there physically. Even though Gavin was here on earth for a short time, cherish the memories. We will be praying for you and all your family to have the strength to get through this difficult time.

Only time and Jehovah's comforting spirit will help you cope with your loss of your baby Gavin. Our hearts are heavy and may Jehovah bless your family. Much love..Bev and Rick.

I always thought Gavin was the cutest little boy. Everytime I saw his picture on FB I would smile. I believe he touched a lot of people that only knew him through FB with his sweet little smile, precious eyes and little boy face. He became a part of my everyday life which made me think of him as family. He was such a precious gift. Praying for peace for the family that only God can give at times like this.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there I did not die

Our Hearts and Prayers are with you and yours during this emotional time.

Your family is in my thought and prayers. I am so very sorry for your loss.
