This is Christian Michael Copits' Memorial Web Page
Please let the music and pictures load - it may take three or four minutes... Thank you.
This page is dedicated to our son, who is now an angel.
On the Day after Christmas in 1996 we had the worst tragedy that a family can have. Our beloved son, ChristianMichael Copits died unpectedly at about ten A.M. in his bed. He died totally unexpectedly of a very fast-moving and virulent form of pneumonia called klebsiella. We didn't even know that he had it. There were no warning signs, and he even asked his mommy for his favorite toy which she gave to him. When she went back up to check on him about an hour later, he was gone....
Although Christian Michael was multiply-handicapped, he did not let that deter him from being happy and enjoying as much of life as he could. We have included his story in a link below. But, even through all of his handicaps and problems, he was always smiling. We will miss his cheerful little voice saying "Hi, Daddy" and "Hi, Mommy Doodles" Hopefully, this page will remind you to tell your family and friends how you care about them. Christian was a very special little boy and knew that he was loved. We have no regrets in that, and find a bit of comfort in the knowledge. If you get nothing else out of this page other than turning away from your computer and telling one person - be it a friend, a child or your partner that you love them, we'll be thankful.
Christian Michael, our angel on earth is now our angel in heaven.
How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to.

Little Angels
When God calls little children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child.
Who does so much to make our world
seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be "Goodbye".
So when a little child departs
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children.
Angels are hard to find.

The Song you are Listening to is "Precious Child"
Written and Performed by Karen Taylor-Good
In my dreams you are alive and well,
Precious child, precious child.
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child.
In my soul there is a hole that can never be filled,
But in my heart there is hope, 'cause you are with me, still.
In my heart, you live on - always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon...
Though it may be true that we're apart,
You will live forever in my heart.
In my plans, I was the first to leave,
Precious child, precious child..
But in this world, I was left here to grieve,
Precious child, my precious child..
In my soul there is a hole that can never be filled,
But in my heart there is hope,
And you are with me, still.
In my heart, you live on - always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon...
Though it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever in my heart.
God knows I want to hold you, see you, touch you..
And maybe there's a Heaven, and some day I will again.
Please know you're not forgotten, until then.
In my heart, you live on - always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon...
Though it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever in my heart.
