Nathanial William Cespedes

Our son Nathanial is in heaven with Jesus I know I will see him again.I only had him on earth for 3 years,eleven months.He was a true angel upon this earth, and as a little boy he was so friendly,loving and caring for others.He always seemed to know what kind of mood people were in, and knew how to say things to them that made them smile and forget what was troubling them, if even for a little while. Nathanial was very polite, courteous towards total strangers, always said "thank you" and "your welcome" to people which was joined by a big joyful smile and brightness in his eyes as he looked up at them. I am so blessed as a mother to have been a part of his life as he was mine for such a short period of time. I would never change anything or anytime I had the joy and happiness with my little angel for nothing in the world. I still and will always remember the times we spent together, the hugs and kisses and I wish I can still hug him once more and kiss his precious angelic face once more. Nathanial is a biblical name in Hebrew, Netan 'el, meaning "Gift of God" and my little boy was certainly that to us. In this picture he has snow in his tonka  truck on a water proof blanket in our livingroom at christmas time he loved snow cream.

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;
