Oshan Brochu Hoven Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 4, 2012.

Oshan came on a Tuesday, September 18th, and filled our lives with joy and love. For two weeks, we shared that love- and created a bond and many memories that will never be forgotten. He showed us how to love, how to forgive, and how to be strong. He is the smallest, yet strongest person we've ever met. It was the best two weeks of our lives. Oshan passed over to the spirit world on a Tuesday, October 2nd. Though his stay was short, it was beautiful. We know we will see you again, Oshee, our little angel. Mommy and Daddy will be waiting for you.

Oshan is preceded in death by grandmother, Winona Dickenson. Oshan is the cherished angel to parents, Jessica Brochu and Donny Hoven; grandparents Ron and Debbie Brochu; aunts and uncles, Derek Brochu, Heather Olson, Cindy and Terry Cossin, Joella and Stefanie Tucker and Alicia Zimmer; great grandmothers Joyce Peterson and Ella Dickenson Hanger; and cousins, Steven Dickenson, Angel Topping, Justin Croud Buckanaga; and special friends Derek Lowry, Brandon Bendickson, and Jennifer Barnaby. As well as many other younger cousins and special friends.

Funeral service will be held Monday, October 8, 2012 at 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church. Friends and family may arrive for visitation one hour prior at 10 a.m. Interment will be at Calvary Cemetery.

Thank you Paula, it's so nice to hear from you. I would've loved to see you there! Maybe we could meet up sometime to talk- I miss talking to you about everything. Oshan is my precious little boy, he would have been 4 months old yesterday. I miss him dearly :( I am feeling so incredibly empty, I never knew life could be so evil. I just don't know how to go on without him.
