| Met Chase's favorite band Yellowcard |

Tuesday March 11, 2008
How ironic is it that Yellowcard was here on the 11th, which is our family number and then Matt pointed out that he would have been 3 the year he passed (3/11 was the concert). It was the most amazing concert we have ever been to and the band is awesome. They took pictures with us and signed autographs and talked with us and then they dedicated Chase's favorite song View from Heaven to us. It is a night that we will never forget and the weather was perfect so thank you Chase. |

We went to the Children Memorial on your birthday, Hunter and I went out to lunch and then to the memorial to send you some ballons but they got stuck in the tree by the memorial. Then Mom sent you some ballons down by the river and hopefully you got them. Here is your other brick. |

The Footprints in Time has finally be finished. It is such a beautiful place. It is a place we can go to that we can be happy when we think of Chase. It is a wonderful memorial for all the Children that have passed too soon in South Elgin. |

Chase passed away at the tender age of 2 1/2 on Thursday July 27, 2006. He tragically drowned in a nearby river and became an angel at 4:10 p.m. Although we will never know the exact time, just the time the hospital pronounced him an angel, mom believes it was 1:57 p.m. that he became an angel. Mom believes that Chase was playing tag with mom and looked to see if mom was coming while he was still running and tripped and fell as he had a big bump on his beautiful head.
Here's the last picture we took of our angel, a few days before he left us. |

| Chase's Last Annual Indiana Trip |
|
|
|
|
The last week of June is always the annual Indiana trip where Grandma Shell courageously takes all the grandkids neices and nephews to Indiana. They had to be potty trained before they could go but Grandma always made the exception for Chase. He had so much fun playing there with all of his cousins laughing and playing in the water. Who would have thought that was the last time that he would have ever gone to Indiana.
Mom and Dad went to Cedar Point while they were in Indiana. We stopped at the cottaqe on the way home thinking the boys would run right to us. No not Chase he was having fun away from mom and dad and he thought we were going to take him home. He was fine once he knew he had a few more days at the cottage. |

Chase was born almost two weeks early to Matt and Jackie on November 5, 2003. He was born at Sherman Hospital in Elgin. Mom noticed labor started right after dad went to work and called him about an hour later to come home. Mom and Dad had to go into the Doctor's office first for a checkup and was rushed up to the hospital right away Good thing the Dr.'s office was downstairs at the hospital so we just had to go up a few floors Dr Estes was due to deliver Chase but he came too quickly, just like he left this world, so Linda Meillan, Midwife delivered Chase one hour after arriving at the hospital at 12:10 p.m. Chase weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long. He was a very healthy baby boy. It snowed the day Chase was born, it was so beautiful. There were no complications and we left the hospital 2 days later. |
