Many memorials have been set up to honor the four dead children, including at least two on the popular website "My Space."
Scott McClellan has set up one.
He says, "I live on Dauphin Island and this was just pretty much therapy."
McClellan's My Space page contains updated information on the search, as well as pictures and comments.
He's also collecting food and money for the family at his cell phone business.
McClellan says "I have two kids of my own. I have a ten year old daughter and a seven year old son and it goes through my mind how somebody could hurt one child, much less four that belong to them."
Patricia Wheeler's My Space page has a poem she wrote for the children.
Wheeler says she set up the page because the children's mother is her nail stylist.
Also in 1999, she was pregnant with twins and went into premature labor.
Wheeler says, "My first daughter was born stillborn and my second daughter lived one hour, 35 minutes and 42 seconds. So I know how it is to lose a child."
Both Wheeler and McClellan say its important for people around the country and even the world to learn about the children.
McClellan says, "I pass by that site every day, and I can't imagine what that family is going through, but this is just my little way to help."

You can find links to the myspace sites by looking under the "external links" section to the right.

I like the idea for a statue of Jesus holding 4 baby angels, and it is a wonderful thought, but not placed on or near the bridge, but as a headstone placed in the cemetery or a small park can be created somewhere with pretty flowers and shrubs could be created in their memory with input of the mother and family members.  A place that is serene and peaceful.  Just the thought of that high bridge and the memory of such a tragedy occured makes me cry and I for one don’t think I could drive my vehicle over it again.  God bless every one involved in the resuce and recovery of these 4 angels.

first i would like to thank all the men and women who put their time and effort out to help find these 4 children. may god give each and everyone of you the strength to continue the search for the last child.  i also hope that god will guide you all to find the last child. my heart goes out to the mother and the family at this of need. i can’t imagine what the mother is going threw right now. i just hope and pray that god would give the mother of these children the strength to hold on. god bless you all!

i thought renaming the bridge is a wonderful idea but i thought placing a statue of jesus with arm open holding 4 angels and a plaque with their name before or at the end of the bridge is a way of remembering the 4 innocent life that was taken. enough about this we should focus on finding the last child so the mother could lay her children to rest. before we go any further about renaming the bridge or what ever we should ask the mother for her opinion before we take this any further
