Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. A memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are & the things you never want to lose. He is my sweetest memory.


This Memorial site was created to honor the memory of Brian Warren Shimanek. Born October 24, 2004. We were blessed to have Brian in our lives for 4 months and 14 days. With his sweet brown eyes, full head of hair, small fingers and toes - He touched many hearts and and was living proof that "no foot is too small that it can not leave an imprint on this world."  He was nothing short of a miracle from the day he entered into our lives. Born at 32 weeks gestation with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, duodenal atresia, and only one functioning lung, Brian was not expected to survive. Defying odds, he became my inspiration, he changed my life and taught me how to love and let go, he gave me the ultimate gift , the gift of motherhood. March 10th, 2005 the day came when I learned to let go & give my child back to the Lord who so graciously allowed me to care for my little boy while he was here on Earth. I feel blessed to say I was this precious little boys mother and I would give anything to have just one more moment, one more kiss, one more time to cradle him in my arms. One day I will....until then the angels will sing my sweet Brian lullabies. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.

Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

We all have to remember that Earth is only a temporary situation...our life truely begins when we meet with the Lord above, in Heaven. When we loose a loved one we must remember this, because knowing this will make mourning the loss of a loved one easier to understand as the days turn into months, and the months turn into years. Its not a "good-bye", but more of a "see you later". Heaven might be out of sight, but it is not out of mind...John 3:16 teaches us that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, Jesus Christ to whoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life"...the bible will not let us down, and the Lord promises that we will all be together again in his home...forever.

I never had the privlage of meeting Brian Warren, but his mother is my best friend who might as well have been a sister to me. It is a terrible thing to loose a child, but it's her strong faith in God, a strong family support, and loving friends that helped her get through this. She is the strongest, most giving person I know, and for that I am truely honored to have her as a friend...I love you guys so much, don't ever forget that
