Through the September 2009 pregnancy forum you began to share your story with all of us ladies on there. I am deeply saddened by Jesse's story you are so brave and strong. I am sending many prayers. Much love.

I'm sure the Baby Jesse foundation will help so many!

Words cannot adequately express how deeply sorry we are for the loss of your precious son, Jesse.  Life doesn't prepare us for tragedies like this because they are simply unimaginable and the grief nearly unbearable.  Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, your husband and family and all of Jesse's loved ones.  We send you our heartfelt sympathy and hope that the wonderful memories you have will help ease your pain very soon.

Chantal, I came back to this again also. Haven't been visiting MH as much these days as I have been busy with my toddler and baby but I want you to know that I personally have been touched as well. My bond with my kids is stronger because of your Jesse. The Love you were blessed with in the birth of your son carries on in us all. That is very powerful!! God gave you such an amazing little boy with a BIG GIFT to share. LOVE. I cherish that Gift more than you know. Thank you for sharing him and yourself with us. I will be thinking of you tomorrow especially.

I keep coming back to this as well, along with checking your FB updates. He was such a cute and happy little boy; I adore all the pictures of his smiling face and his head full of curls (and even the adorable little buzz cut you gave him last week).
I showed Trevor the last video clip you had of Jesse two weeks ago posted on FB where you're playing peekaboo with him and he's laughing and enjoying Jeremiah showing off in the background with the iPhone. When I had told Trevor about Jesse's passing on Tuesday, he broke down crying.
Jesse touched so many lives, even those that have never met him.
I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through, but like the other ladies, I admire your strength and faith during this incredibly agonizing time.

Ugh, I keep coming back to this.  I'm crying at work...I can't even imagine how you are doing it Chantal. You are such a strong woman.  Jesse is on my mind all the time and that's a good thing...because at least you know he's touched so many.

Chantal, Like the other women Im wiping tears away. As i read your post, I couldnt believe that God made someone as strong and as beautiful as you are! Don't Feel guilty, You have another sweet boy who needs as much love as before, Jesse is happy and painfree.Of course you will miss him, you will always miss him. He is a part of you, a part of your family, He will always be with you. Always. Thank God we have faith in Him! Knowing you will see your sweet boy one day is one of lifes most precious gifts! I cant imagine what you are going through right now. I cant even picture it, and im afraid too. I honestly am. But you arent alone, you never are, God is always by your side, and so is little jesse! =) My friends child (3yr old) passed, The family loved to talk about what Nikii would be eating for breakfast and what she was wearing today, I think that might help alot for all of you, but expesially for Your other son! Imagination is incredible and it might be the answer that your son is searching for. Bless you! And again please dont feel guilty one day youll wake up and realize youve just spent time with guilt for no reason.. Jesse is happy and can fly! =) Hes lucky to have had a mom like you, and he is also in a wonderful place which is also his home! Hes waiting for His family now..... <3 sending you love and warm wishes!

oh my this story definitely brought tears to my eyes. i am SO incredibly sorry that you are having to endure this pain, but i share your faith and i can tell you with confidence that God has a perfect plan for your life and for your family's as well. We might not always understand it, and sometimes it seems cruel. but each and every thing that happens on this earth happens for a reason. they are all intricately connected and one cannot happen without the other. Your son Jesse has had more of an impact that us as humans could ever understand. he has touched so many hearts; think about the blessings others have experienced just by meeting him!! like rdh1981 said, his purpose on this earth was fulfilled. one day you will meet him again :)
i know nothing can erase the pain; and i cannot imagine losing a child. my little girl has only been with me for 2 1/2 months now. and to lose her would be devastating. i can't even wrap my head around 11 months. im so so sorry.
take it day by day. dont look toward the future. find little ways to remember him. pictures, flowers, songs, videos.
and never feel guilty. we are only human, and you were the best mommy to him you could possibly be.

The tears are rolling down my face. I am shaking as I am typing. Chantal, you were incredibly kind enough to share Jesse with us and now you are sharing this incredibly thoughtful post with us. You are an amazing, strong and wonderful mother.  

I am begging you not to feel guilty. What you are feeling, is Jesse telling you everything is going to be okay. I had that same sense of guilt after Cooper passed away. Then one day I realized that was Cooper talking to me and letting me know that he was happy and healthy with God!

Your poor little Jeremiah. Losing a sibling or any loved one is hard for  a child to understand. They just do not seem to understand that death is permanent. Heck, there were days when I often thought my Cooper would be back.....and I know better. Just give him time and maybe you guys can go to a family grief center that can help him express his thoughts.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing that wonderful little boy with us!

Jesse, everyone in life has a purpose. Your purpose was filled! You taught others to love, to trust in God and to fight, because life is worth living! Your tiny footprints will forever leave a mark on my hearts, next to Coopers and all the other Baby Angels!

God Bless you Chantal!

Oh Chantal, I'm holding back the tears because I'm at work.  But I'm so happy to hear from you.  Jesse was a little fighter, he made me smile every time I looked at his picture.  I can't even imagine what you are going through but I have to say you are a strong woman.  Jeremiah might not understand now but he will one day.  It is very hard explaining that to a 2 year old but I think you did the best job you could.  Jesse was a blessing and yes, I believe he was here for a reason.  Maybe to bring awareness to others about his rare disease.  Maybe to give you someone to love even if it was just for a short while.  He has touched so many with his life and now with his death.  Don't feel guilty, you did what you had to do and now you can know he is in peace and out of pain.  Spend time with Jeremiah and know that we are all here for you.  Love you!

Chantal,

You and your family are in our prayers. I pray your guilt will fade because as you stated he is perfect now no more worrying. He's no longer in pain. I'm sure he's playing in Heaven with my Little Matthew and having a great time.

Hi, I am not on here very often, but still like to catch up from time to time and see how we are all travelling.  I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about little Jessie and his family and would like to add my thoughts at this very sad time.  There are so many people who are on here and care about the members of medhelp and their families and I hope our thoughts can give you some comfort and let you know how many people knew about Jessie and his life from all over the world and that he will not be forgotten.
