MAY GOD BLESS YOU AT THIS TIME AND ALWAYS!!

I don't know you. Your story is so inspiring. I feel so many similarities between your story and mine. At age two I was told I'd never make it to adulthood and if I did I would be nothing more than a vegetable. Praise God! I made it to adulthood and live a full life. I too had a mother who prayed vehemently for God's healing power and believed in the Lord Almighty! I turned 42 on the day you were laid to rest. You lived only 42 minutes but your short life left such a huge imprint on a multitude. It is my pledge to share what your legacy is to me with others I know. Every soul has a place in this world no matter the length of time they spend on earth. God's creation is awesome! We must respect him, rejoice in him, and share with others who don't know him the love and joy he shares with us. Thank you Lord for sharing Baby Faith with so many for such a short time. She is a true blessing and knew many more in her short life than we would ever even begin to know in a life lived to old age. We pray for peace for those who she left behind and determination that they can carry your message on so that others may know of you.

SaraBeth, Rob, Cade & SaraGrace:
You have been and will continue to be in our prayers. My heart broke when Mom sent us the news.
Though your time with her was short, your faith and strength through this has been uplifting and renewing to so many people. I pray that you continue to find that strength through the Lord and know that you will be with Faith again one day.

Sarabeth,
I read your blog. You have a beautiful family. I was unable to e-mail you!
My heart goes out to you for your precious loss. I too, have lost a son. No matter how much faith we have, the unbearable pain of losing a child, is devastating. And God understands this. He does give us HOPE!
"God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said; "Look! I am making all things NEW...."Rev. 21:4,5
