This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Isabella Buzzotta who was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 11, 2005 and passed away on April 18, 2005 . We will remember her forever.
 Isabella was a twinkle in our eyes when my husband Tony and I first met. The strong love that we had for each other helped us create such a beautiful baby. We knew it was going to be a girl the second we found out we were expecting, we even had a name for her. My 3 year old son James, at the time, was so happy in knowing that he was soon going to be a big brother. We even bought him a toy baby doll so that we could get him use to a baby in the house. He carried that baby doll around as if it were a real baby. Such nurture and love he knew to offer; I knew that he would be the best big brother any sister could ask for. I remember the day our sweet Isabella was born, we were all so calm yet bursting with excitment within. She made her entrance into the world at 1:05 pm on January 11, 2005. The sweetest cry you've ever heard. Dad could bearly contain his tears knowing that this was his first child, a child that he longed his entire life for. He was finally complete. When we brought her home, you could tell that she was comfortable. Never a fussy moment, only coos and happiness. As Bella grew day by day, we began to notice that she was always so happy. The second she figured out how to make an expression, she made sure it was always a smile. I remember how much Bella loved to take baths. But what I remember the most was how much I loved the smell of her skin after a long days work of sleeping and feeding. My most favorite smell was her feet. Who could believe that a baby so small could have such smelly feet. But I loved it...I yerned for it. I would catch myself daily removing her socks just so I could smell her feet. The way they were so clammy, and how she would curl her little toes over my upper lip. Sometimes I can still feel them there. Our sweet Bella eventually turned her smiles into laughs. The thing that would make her laugh the most was the word "Goo"; something my husband discovered; he thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Because of that, we started to call her our "Little Goo Goo". I spent three wonderful months at home with Bella. Everyday with her felt like heaven, I longed to keep her a baby forever. On Sunday April 17th, James, Bella and myself spent the afternoon playing. We sang and we read and we laughed; I even caught Bella and James on the camcorder playing with one another. James was laying over Bella and was kissing her on the forehead. Everytime James knelt down to kiss Bella, she would let out a laugh. It was a very special day, little did we know that it would be our last full day with Bella. The Lord knew what was to come, so he blessed us with a loving farewell. If I could go back to that very moment, I would wish to kiss her a million more times and repeatedly tell her how much we all love her. I go back to that moment in my heart everyday, and everyday I hug her... I kiss her... I smell her feet.. and I tell her "We love you baby girl". Bella passed on of SIDS, we were now the statistic. Something we never, ever imagined happening to our baby. How could a healthy, very happy, very loved baby be taken away so unanounced. Bella came to us for a reason. She came to teach us everlasting love, cheer, and loss. Everything that life should be. She now plays at the Lords feet, because Heaven was made for such as these.

       
      
       
Please take a minute to listen to the audio we provide called Glory Baby. This song was written by Watermark. Watermark is a Christian married couple that write their own songs. Glory Baby is a very special song for us. The song was written for anyone who was lost a child. I listen to this song more than once a day, and I use it as a sense of healing. There is a lyric in the song that goes "Can't wait for the day when we will see you...We will see you...But baby let sweet Jesus hold you 'till mom and dad can hold you...You'll just have Heaven before we do." It has very beautiful words, that has helped me cope, and I hope that I can share this song with you; as it was once shared with me.
