I would like to thank CAW and the members of “Scrapbook Flair” for honoring Tesslynn is such a beautiful manner. These amazing members are creating absolutely stunning scrapbook pages for Miss Tesslynn. Please visit their site to see what awesome tribute pages they have made to honor our precious Tesslynn. As always, I am thrilled that people are willing to keep this beautiful child’s memory alive. I cannot thank each of them enough for their efforts!

Please view Tesslynn's Tribute.

Also, I would like to thank the person that has sent me pictures of Tesslynn's resting place.  If I could I would give you a great big hug for being such a kind and loving person.  Thank you so much. 

Tesslynn O'Cull was a child abuse victim who was murdered by her mother’s boyfriend and her own mother.  Her image was used in the Stop the Abuse poster for Oregon.

I have very little knowledge of this baby. No pictures, other than her poster, that I have been able to find and limited information, but this child was ignored in life and in death she should not have to suffer the same fate. Do not ignore child abuse because Tesslynn's death could and should have been prevented. It is up to all of us to protect the young children that roam this earth.


Children Who Die Are Not Really Gone

Children who die are not really gone,
But go to a place that is something like home,
Where they sleep the deep sleep, as quiet as stone,
Until we can join them when our lives are done.

Children who die are not really dead,
But just like good children tucked into bed,
Wait the long wait while we go ahead
Till our tales are all told and our tears are all shed.
Children who die feel no pleasure or pain
In the place where they wait till they see us again,
And all of us dance in a world washed with rain
Where the sun shines so brightly no sorrows remain.
