My article in newsletter for this december. / Beverly Koch (mommy)
I’d Like You to Meet My Little Boy, Logan Zackary Reed.
Logan is my youngest of three boys. He was born on 4-21-01. He has two big brothers, Steven 22 and Kolton 13, who miss him terribly! No one in our family was prepared for what happened on August 19, 2005. It was an instant in a stock tank that took the life of my precious 4 1/2 yr old son, Logan. I’m certain he accidentally fell in and he couldn’t swim… I’m not going to go into all the details of that day as it’s still so torturous to do so. But what I do want to express is how very important it is to teach your children about the dangers of water - be it your backyard swimming pool, a stock tank on your neighbor’s property or the lake/ocean your family swims in on vacation. Children need to have swimming lessons at the earliest age possible. The more they know about swimming/water, the dangers involved and what to do in the case of an emergency is the best way to prevent this tragedy from happening again. Equally as important, is having these bodies of water fenced, gated or whatever it takes so that children cannot gain entry. If you have a stock tank or pond on your property, please post warning signs and make sure it isn’t accessible to children. Awareness and prevention are so crucial in this fight to save our children from drowning. I know Logan is smiling because he knows he is saving children just like him and that makes me smile. That is the only comfort I can find, knowing Logan is saving another family from going through this heartache and suffering.
It will be one year on 8-19 since I lost my sweet Logan and I still find it hard to believe he’s never coming back. I miss him so much and I cry every night – I just want to tuck him in with his Spiderman blanket “just right” and give him hugs and kisses over and over and over! What I wouldn’t do to be able to walk him to his Pre-K class and try my best to be strong for him and not cry myself as he’s telling me “Bye mommy, I love you” and “you’re gonna pick me up, right?”, the whole time his little bottom lip just a quivering. That’s how it was the last time I saw him. I didn’t get to pick him up, he rode the bus to his grandmother’s that day. It is so hard to understand why this happened to Logan, but I do believe he is safe with Jesus and I know we will be together again – to play, laugh, kiss and hug all we want, and I can hold him in my arms forever.
I am blessed to have so many happy, sweet and wonderful memories of my darling, Logan and I am thankful for that. But I know he is still here with me…I can feel him in the breeze, smell him in the flowers, hear him in children’s laughter and I can see him in my dreams. Logan has always been my little angel...then, now and forever.
I love you too much Mr. Logan Pogan!
Love, Mommy

I'm sorry / Gretchen Mooney I just got done looking at all of Logan's pictures you have touched my heart deeply. Logan loved god so much and I think that he was an angel. I am so very very sorry for your loss. When my daughter was three years old we were going over her address and phone number and she couldn't get it. I asked her what she would do if someone kidnapped her ( I was a very protective mother then and know. She told me with a smile on her face I'll go to heaven and be with jesus. I didn't know if that should have made me happy or scared to death. Needless to say she learned it. Kids are so wonderful and I am so terriblely sorry for your precious loss. I would say god be with you but it so obvious that he is. Logan is still around you and always will be. In gods love I pray for you. Thank you for sharing Logan with us. Gretchen E. Mooney
My family and I are truely sorry for your loss, we know trust and believe, god dont make mistakes, a blessing will come out of this, logan will bring salvation to many that need to know jesus,
Our prayers are with you and your family,

I know your pain / Angel Jessica's Mommy -. Lori (Visitor)
I also lost a child to accidental drowning. Jessica was 3 and drowned in our bathtub June 15, 2005. I will never forgive myself for walking out of the bathroom. I also posted some of the warnings of acccidental drowning when I did her website last year. I have had so many people that have contacted me and said that they have done the same thing and always thought they would hear something or didn't know it takes seconds not minutes for a small child to drown. Jessica told me some remarkable things about her dying and going to live in heaven a few months before the accident. I wrote about it on her website www.jessica-sweetangel.memory-of.com What she said has given me peace that she is with jesus in heaven and she is in a much better place than we are. But we miss her soooo much like you do Logan. This year has been hard because of the "first holidays" without her. Please feel free to email me if you ever need to talk. God Bless you and your family and your sweet little Angel Logan Love, Lori Dorrough

Your Mom is a survivor / Zana My mom is a survivor or so I have heard it said, But I can hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand, She doesn't know I am with her to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach that never wash away...... I watch over my surviving mom who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others..... a smile of disguise! But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive. But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving Mom through Heaven's open door.... I try to tell her that angels protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her.... or ease the burden she bears. So if you get a chance, go visit her.... and show her that you care.
For no matter what she says.... No matter what she feels. My surviving Mom has a broken heart that time will never heal.
What Blue Eyes!!!! / Terri Dassing (Mom of Angel Michael Brian ) What a special little angel...He has such blue eyes. Yes, I'm sure that my Michael has taken Logan in as his little brother! My prayers are with you. So many precious moments from such a short life!
Sending my condolences / Zana (Visitor) I just wanted to send you my love. I lost my son Alex on june 3rd of 05 to a drowning as well. You have a beatiful baby boy. Always remember how much he loves you and doesnt want you to be sad. I know that doesnt make anything better but just know you are not alone. Much love, Zana Alexs mommy 12-19-02 / 6-3-05 alexchristopher.memory-of.comhttp://alexchristopher.memory-of.com
