Today was very special family time for all of the Gonzalez's, Rachel, Jonathan, Sarah and Tabitha went to the hospital this morning to see baby Timothy and to take family photos. They all got to see him, talk to him, love him and then they all got to say their goodbyes. Elizabeth's 2 sisters and one of her brothers came out from Texas and Louisiana to be with her and to see their newest nephew. Later on in the afternoon Elizabeth and Jesse sat with baby Timothy held him, loved on him and said their final goodbyes as he went back to heaven with our Lord.
The hospital has been filled with love and comfort for Jesse and Elizabeth and their family these last few days. Family and friends have come to visit from all over San Diego and from out of state and shown so much love.
The details of his condition were confirmed last night, a blood clot formed and went to his brain which caused his tiny little body to have a stroke; it happened in an instant. As said in a previous posts, Baby Timothy had little to no brain activity and there was nothing further that the doctors could do. We know that God has taken the Gonzalez's little angel back to heaven and he is happy there free from all pain.
As the days go on the Gonzalez's will need all of your prayers and support during this very hard time.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" -Philippians 4:13
A Memorial Service is tentatively scheduled for this coming Thursday at Bostonia Church of Christ in El Cajon. We will keep you updated with exact times.
Thank you for all of your love and support and please keep praying.
"God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way."

Dear Elizabeth and Jesse, our hearts go out to you. May you find strength through this difficult time. God bless you and your family. We are praying for you.

This angel touched your hearts
For only just a while
To teach you what it means to love
And show you how to smile
He could not stay for long
For God soon would call him home
But he left behind these memories
To carry with you when you roam
He taught you through his courage
And the strength it took to live
And to see his eyes
Oh, what you wouldn't give
Now your tears of sorrow fall
But through each tear there is a light
For this end is not goodbye
Its only time till you'll unite
For one day the skies will open
And God's hands, they will unfold
And your precious baby will await
For your arms to hold
So till then, hold on
Keep his legend in your hearts
And know the journey isn't done
It's only just the start...
With love,
Cousin Angela
Dear Timothy,
Hi. I one of your many uncles. I am deeply saddened that your time on earth was so short. We never had chance to throw the football, laugh or cry together. Although we do have pictures of you to remember forever!
We know that you have gone to place where your father is holding you tight in his arms. A place where the birds are singing and never ending waterfalls.
You are much better off in Heaven than here with us. Life here on earth is ultimately to be with God. You just took the shortcut. Many people live here for 100 years and do not influence people as much as you have impacted our lives. It’s now up to us to make it a positive influence.
Tell God hello for me. Give him a big hug and kiss. You have a many family members waiting to see you again one day. So get that football ready and practice your routes.
With all the Love your uncle James.
Timothy,
I feel truly blessed to have had the time that we were given with you. You have touched the entire family and others in immeasurable ways. Your life and your passing has reminded us how important family is and how truly fragile we all are.
We love you so much and can't wait to give you the hug that we have all been yearning to give you when we meet you in Heaven.
Zachary and Ethan will be sending you balloons soon.
Your Aunt,
Shannon
Elizabeth, I am so so sorry for all the pain you and your family must be feeling. I pray God will hold you up in His arms.
I don't think anything I could say could make it better for you, but at least know that we are praying for you, and hurting with you, and know at least how it feels a little bit...many of us have babies in heaven waiting for us.
Lots of big hugs,
Erica
I am saddened by the loss of my nephew Timothy; I am left on earth filled with the lingering question of why? And the ones who know, are not here physically on earth any longer.
Timothy, I do know that you are in a better place and we are the ones that have to live life on this earth with you in our hearts, until we meet again.
I find comfort in our family and friends who rally around all of us in this time of need, and as no one can really say they know how this feels we can say we are here with you and for you.
I will leave you with a story I heard once. There were two little creatures living under the water. They noticed that when other creatures climbed up the stem that was in the middle of the pond they never came back. The two made a pact that which ever went first the other would come back down and tell the other what happened. One day it was time for the one to make the climb. When he reached the top he turned into the most beautiful butterfly that was colorful and free. He suddenly remembered the agreement with his partner but unfortunaly could not return to his previous world to tell of the wondrous change and the feeling of being free he now has.
You will not be forgotten and know that you were loved by me.
Love,
Uncle David
We can not describe the heartache we are feeling for your family. You are in the hearts and prayers of all of your Pine Valley friends.
God saw that he was getting tired
And the cure was not to be
So he put his arms around him
And whispered, " Come with me"
With tear filled eyes we watched
Him suffer and fade away
Although we loved him deeply
We could not make him stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard-working hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He Only Takes The Best...
I'm so sorry!
