fanatsic image and excelllent:)
Too many crimes against children happening these days. Up here in Toronto, a total of 4 children died this past weekend at the hands of their parents. Don't know what goes through the heads of people, but to take away the innocence of someone that has yet begun to live is clearly wrong!! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!! I pray one day that all this will change!!!
Excellent heart felt work, seven is the number of angels, I am sure their were many angels there to welcome Ricky home. Dayna xxoo
Makes me sick to my stomach to think of all the children who suffer by the hands of such sick people ! ! ! this is very sad ! ! Love the image it says a lot thanks......
A very sad and disturbing story and one that happens way to often definitely needs to end. There is no reason for man's inhumanity to man to continue like this especially when it is children tis totally wrong.
I also hope Ricky feels your love as well! Bravo Leah!
My heart breaks for that little innocent child- at the hands of monsters- I am glad that you made this in memory of him- God how can ppl do such thing?! I to pray that one day it will all stop...... hugs Anne
Beautiful!
I just can't understand how someone could do something like that to a little one. They are so precious. The only comfort in all this is knowing that he is away from them and somewhere now that he is surrounded by peace and love. This is a beautiful memorial. Blessed be.
In heaven a tribute like this is as good as a thousand hugs.
How very sad. What a beautiful render. There's so much feeling in this piece! Excellent work!
Very sad story, and hate to see them.. I don't understand parents like that!! At least I know my son gets lots of hugs whether he likes them or not!!
Very moving image, Leah!! You have such a wonderful heart! Excellent work!
Fantastic concept and a real moving image!!! Fabolous work!!!
Beautiful expression of that sad story!
How heartbreaking and you did a wonderful job honoring this little boy's spirit. Those of us who read your words and ache for him hug his little spirit-in this way he did not die without love. I hope there is a special heaven for children who lose their lives at the hands of evil where they can dance together in happiness for eternity.
This is a depressing image Leah!! I always say to people who commit crimes against children, better for that person to never been born!! This image is really moving, I hate to think what can happen to my nine year old niece out there!! Well done Leah!! Vote!!! :-(
This is an excellent dedication, Leah! I hope both his parents rot in jail for this. He is a darling little boy.
A fantastic and very creative realization Leah....!!! Beautiful collage of images......!!!!
Very sad... a beautiful dedication. Excellent work!

This is beautiful and sad Leah.. The creatures that do this to children should die... SLOWLY!!

This is simply unacceptable and yet it happens a lot! Touching image Leah, I wish the whole world could see this!

It's horrible! I live in Michigan and it's been in all the papers. The parents must be insane. Gorgeous, touching tribute!
