My sympathy to the parents and family of Silas. I didn't have facebook until recently and the video appeared on it for me to see when he talked about going to heavy and I first saw it on Jan. 21st, my grandson's 6th birthday. I have been constantly watching it, going to every website I can to know more and find out all about what Silas was going through. What a brave boy. I just can't stop crying and in fact I am a little depressed right now, because I just want to keep looking at him and praying for him. I wish I would have know all of this when it was happening. I want to make a donation in memory of Silas to one or two of the mentioned places to donate. His adorable angelica face I can't stop seeing in front of me. How brave he was and to accept he was not going to get better here on earth, but would get a new body and no more suffering in heaven. God give you all strength also. My prayers are with all of you and Silas too. Irma Foschi-Unger, Bethlehem, PA.

I was doing a project for my senior poetry book, and for my concrete peom I drew a picture of a turtle because Silas loved turtles. I was just think of him, he was a STRONG little boy. As I drew the picture I also shed tears, because my grandma just died of cancer. My prayers are still with you and your family!!! RIP Silas, I hope you're having fun in Heaven!!! <3 <3 <3

To Silas' Family -
I just saw Silas' video clip describing heaven.  I live in Tennessee and don't know your family but I am in such awe of this little fellow and his courage and outlook.  We should all have his anticipation of heaven.  So true that there will be no more pain and all will be joyous. What a beautiful little boy..
I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss but oh how much heaven has gained. I like so many don't understand why things like this happen.  I lost my husband last year at the age of 55 to a brain tumor and I still can't believe it.  I wish I had words to take away your pain but I don't.  Please know that just by seeing the video clip touched my heart in so many ways and I thank you for sharing it with the world.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.  May God surround you with comfort, love and peace.

Silas I'm not crying anymore, becauseI know I'll see you soon and I know you are happy with your new body. Silas you were an Angel Among Us. I felt that you gave your life as Jesus did, so that we could have everlasting life. You changed the hearts of a lot of people. But I wish that I could have given my life in the place of yours so that you could of lived.

Thank you so much for sharing your family with us. This world is so full of meanness & killing & your beautiful Silas made me stop & realize that there are still alot of good people in this world. I loved following his story on FB and looking at all the pictures of your family.  As a mother my heart breaks for you Jessica but I also know that it is awful to watch your child suffer.  Silas brought so many people together for his cause & it is amazing that he had so many people praying.  Thats exactly what this world needs - more prayer.  God Bless all of you.

My prayers go out to the family and friends of the sweetest little boy I only met one time and that was the day of the BBQ sack lunch that Community Hospice held for him. He came in wanting to look and the cookies and I told him he could have all of them he wanted and he came out with just one and it was covered with red sprinkles. He touched my heart so much that day. He will be missed so much. He touched so many lives in such a short time.

I have been following Silas's story for a while now on facebook.

Although he's gone, he will never be forgotten, he will always be looking down on his family, looking out for his brothers, mom, and dad! Still have you all in my thoughts and prayers!

I am from Dallas Ga and have been following Silas' story for many months. I am so sorry for this great loss. My heart hurts for you and can't imagine as I have a son who is a month younger than Silas. Our God is good all the time and I know that our family knows that best. As Silas showed the nation what it meant to have faith in his Jesus! I'm blessed to know where your Silas is with his new body! I know it will take a life time to be able to go a day without wishing he was here. Always remember he is where he wanted to be and that he is watching down and will return with his Jesus one day! I have learned so much from him through these months. I am a survivor and it was the scarest time of my life as a mother and wife. But I am one of the lucky ones who was caught so early that it seemed like a simple nothing compared to those like Silas that go through so much treatment. He will always be remembered my me and I will paint my nails for him as long as I love and every ther child who is or was fighting. May God bless you all and may you have love and joy that Silas gave you locked in your heart forever. Our love hugs and prayers the Pim family.

Dear Family,
There are no words of comfort that we can express to ease the pain that you are going through. As so many have told you, Silas touched our lives and inspired us with his faith that so much stronger than what you could ever expect from our year old. Silas possessed the faith that we should all strive for. I prayed many times for the miracle of healing. God did send Silas a miracle of a new healthy body and a beautiful new home with streets of gold. I lost a three year old brother many years ago. I know the pain that siblings go through learning to deal with such a loss. I watched my parents endure such deep grief and ached for them as I was dealing with my own grief. One day, I will see him again. I hope that maybe he and Silas can become friends and play with each other.
God bless you,
Donna Ann, Al, Alexander, and Andrew Darley

What an amazing little boy Silas was. He acccomplished so much more than many adults ever have. So wise, so carrying, and giving. He was always thinking of others. How proud you must be. He could not wait to go home to heaven and gain his wings to work even more for our Lord and Savior. I know he is going to work his magic there as well.

My dad is also in heaven. In my prayers, I asked him to take Silas fishing when they crossed paths. As I know my dad loved to fish and he will show Silas a wonderful time.

I know your heart is breaking. I pray God will give you the strength to wake up each morning knowing your son was one special Angel on earth. That means he is one super duper of an Angel in Heaven.

Take comfort in knowing he is healthy and whole again with the new body he so many times talked about.

Love, hugs, and prayers,

God's Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, 'Peace be Thine'.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Silas was on this earth for such a short time but God's purpose has been evident! Thousands have followed this little guy wise beyond his years, and many have looked up
and done their own soul searching. Where will I spend eternity? Why is Silas not scared? We have never sense the presence of The Lord anymore than in the lives of Silas and his parents. Still We can't imagine your loss because following your updates daily, we've done our own grieving. Please know how special you & Silas have become to us & we will continue to pray for all of you.

Jesus blessed us with little Silas so we could learn from him.  So young - so wise!  We have been praying for Silas since his onset of cancer and know that all prayers have been answered - the prayer for God's will and peace for Silas and his family.  He is gone from our touch but never our minds and gone from our sight but never our hearts.  Thank you Silas, for teaching us so much in your short life.  Love and prayers to your family.

Our hearts are heavy for your loss and the pain you are feeling. I am praying that God will give you peace and comfort and that you will feel his love through the upcoming days and months. Silas was a child of God and you taught him God's love. That was the greatest gift he could ever received and God in turn blessed him with loving parents and family. His spirit infected many of us as we prayed without ceasing for him. May God bless you all! He will not be forgotten.

I have always been uplifted and relieved when I hear the quote "The Lord works in mysterious ways " Now I understand why He gave us Silas!

We never had the chance to meet Silas but we kept up with you all on fb and through family members.  Please take comfort in knowing that little Silas touched so many lives.  I really believe that there have been many who have come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior by being inspired by your whole family.  As you know, we don't always understand why some are here for long periods of time and others, like Silas, are here for only a few short years, but the impact that Silas had in our community and around the world has been such a blessing.  We will FOREVER keep your family in our thoughts and prayers and we will ALWAYS remember SILAS.

Words cannot express what this family must be feeling in their hearts with the loss of this child. just know that we mourn with you. Silas touched so many lives with his faith in God and his willingness to give to others even though he was so sick. I pray that God will wrap his arms around this family and give them a peace knowing that he is in heaven with a new body and looking down knowing that he brought a community or should I say a state together. We will miss you Silas. I pray that in your memory we will all continue to fight for all of these other children and adults who have cancer. Soar with the Angels now

I have followed Silas on Facebook. He had been brave and his strong faith to God was really inspiring my husband and I. I have lost my 8 years old son - Patrick in this February due to his Neuroblastoma cancer. Patrick was baptized two weeks before he passed away.
I have been praying for Silas and your family. I am sure little Silas is with Jesus in Heaven now. I can always picture that my son always leans on Jesus and full of happiness on his face. No more pain and illness. Only happiness and eternity life. I will continue pray for your family. I trust that God is with us during this difficult period.

I am from Riverside County, California and I wish so much we had the opportunity to meet this sweet and brave little boy! My Neice Amy Gurule is one of the fund raiser captains for Sea World and that is how I learned about Silas.  Ever since she put this on facebook,  I couldn't take my eyes off from reading about Silas and his medical disablility.  I feel like he was someone I knew and someone I wish I would of known.  It was so hard to believe he was so young and so brave and having to go through all this and to know what was happening to his little body and to understand about going to heaven.  He has had his wonderful parents to teach him about Jesus and his team of doctors and nurses to teach him about what was happening to his life and how short term his life was going to be.  He just accepted this so bravely and I just don't know how his family was so brave through all of this.  As I read everyday the updates I cried for Silas to get well, but I knew he was not going to get well so I prayed for our lord to take him so he and his family would not suffer any longer.  Silas was ready for his journey to Heaven and to meet our King.  Now Silas is not in pain anymore or his family having to watch him go through pain everyday.  Now his family can rest and know that Silas is healthy again in our Kingdom of Heaven.  My prayers go out to the family and to bring you peace.  R.I.P. Silas you will always be remembered and in our hearts!

Faith can remove all fear and doubt and any anxieties that we may have. He (Silas) did not question God about anything, he trusted God about everything. I'm so thankful for Silas teaching me that. Family take comfort in the fact that Silas taught us grownups a few things about faith and may we never forget that. Take time to grieve and heal from your loss.

To the family Of this precious young man we all know as Silas. Every since i have been following about him he has always appeared to teach us that life is very important and to live it to our fulliest. He also taught us courage in a way you wouldn't think a child could. But Silas had a heart of Gold and for that i appreciate everything think i have learned though him. He also taught us he wasn't afraid of dying and going to see Jesus in fact he was ready. But mom and dad he has told you he was going to get a new body so when he came back to get you all he would be in a different body for he would be whole again. And watching that video when the firemen came the other day touched me in a way i haven't been in a while my heart was as excited as his. And the look in his eyes was amazing. Mr. and Mrs Edenfield and the brothers i pray your lives can go on knowing he is with Jesus now. He is no longer hurting. I ask God to be with you all though out this and that he walk with you all every day reminding you that your both amazing.

His memory forever engraved in our heart.

We only knew him for a short while,
But the life he led made us smile.
he was so beautiful and oh so rare,
Life as they say just isn't fair.

Till the day comes when we'll all join him there.

Know Silas is watching from heaven above, And with each ray of sunshine, he's sending his love.

I was heartbroken to hear about Salis, but I know in my heart that he is having a wonderful time in Heaven. Praise goes out to his parents for guiding him in the right direction and teaching him about God. I'm sure this helped him to understand about Heaven and be able to picture what he thought Heaven would be like. I know Salis was not called Home before his work on earth was done. He was such an amazing inspriation and witness to many people. When I first started reading about Salis I had to back up and review my life. I asked myself "would I be as ready as this precious child to meet Jesus". I continue to pray for all the family. May God keep his comforting arms around you. Dublin Ga.

Silas touched my life in so many ways.  His faith was so strong, he was amazing. You are all in my heart and prayers.  I live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina or I would come offer my sympathy in person.  May God watch over you all as you start this new phase of your life.  Be secure in the knowledge that Silas has the new body he was so excited about and he is running and playing in Gods Kingdom. God Bless you all with Love and Peace.

Deepest sympathy to the Edenfield family and friends, I followed and read your journal for Silas from day one, thank you for sharing him and your journey, I have grown to love your family like my own. Silas was wise beyond his years. What an inspiration to the world he was. Its so unfair that so many children suffer and lose there life from cancer. I hope soon there will be a cure. But find comfort knowing Silas is in the arms of Jesus. Prayers to your family during thia difficult time. Silas is an Angel watching over you and his sweet brothers. He will never be forgotten,and i cant waif to meet him one day in heaven. I love you sweet Silas, God Bless you all.

The Lord truly shined through Silas and his love for Jesus could be felt through written word and pictures.  Heaven has truly gained a precious angel.

My heart was saddened when I read about precious Silas.  I have been following Silas since I met Silas at relay for life last year.  He had then the sweetest smile I have ever seen.  I have been battling cancer for second and third time since Aug.
last year.  I am trying to have the faith that little Silas had.  He would make everyone feel so inadequate in faith.  He makes everyone that ever met him wish and pray for faith like that precious child of God.  You all are very much in my prayers.  I know precious Silas will be missed by all that ever met him.  My love and prayers to each of you.

Thank you for allowing us to share your faith all these months. Your Christian walk in the face of such illness has been such an example to so many. Silas and the entire family have blessed so many by encouraging their faith, while those were trying to be the ones who did the encouraging.  Archie, Jessica, and boys - there are no words for the loss you feel I am certain. However, there is comfort in the Holy Spirit that lives within you. God has not and will not fail you. Silas, I am sure, is darting about Heaven being a delight to all as he was so good at doing here on earth, even in the face of adversity. God sent him on mission and he filled his calling so well. And, to my friend, Jana Golightly - Silas maternal grandma, love you and will continue to pray for you and all the rest in the days ahead.  Thank you for sharing your precious family with us.

God's purpose for Silas's life has been fulfilled.   Rest in the knowledge that Silas has brought many closer to God, The Father and His Son Jesus through his joy-filled spirit and his unshakable faith in his God.  I came to love Silas and through him and a little boy named Johnathon to believe that we needed desparately to bring more attention to childhood cancer.  Know that Silas touched my heart as he did many across the world.  And through him childhood cancer gained a more prominant recognition than ever before.  I pray for God's comfort to you and your family as you now adjust to the loss of Silas.  He is there in the sunlight and the shadows smiling, running, laughing and painfree.  His playmates are other ones that have lost their battle and found rest in the loving arms of our Savior, Jesus.  Rest now little guy.  We will push on to make September Silas GOLD!!!!
