A celebration of Bastian's life will be held immediately following the memorial mass at the Miami Heights Community Center, 3780 Shady Lane North Bend, OH 45052. All are welcome to attend. There will be food and drinks provided. The parents wish to convey that they would love to see everyone that has been touched by Bastian's story and those that have reached out.

that is part of you.
It is not where you wanted him
but where God wanted him to be.
He was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
he isn't very far.
He touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of your Angel
and send him all my love.
Thoughts and prayers for Bastian and his family.

BASTIAN THOMAS WANSTRATH
Forever with the Angels and Always in our Hearts........
Keep watch over your Daddy, Mommy, Sister and all of us.
Love, Uncle Tom and Aunt Debbie
Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
Please, try not to question God, Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you, and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child, and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming, That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost, that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing, and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad, Mama don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies."
He wrapped him in his loving arms and whispered ˜Come with me."
He suffered much in silence, his spirit did not bend.
He faced his pain with courage, until the very end.
He tried so hard to stay with us but his fight was not in vain,
God took him to His loving home and freed him from the pain.
