Heather, I don't know you and I didn't know your precious daughter but her story has touched our lives. My twin girls now go to EMC. They were born in March 2011. We met Skylar's grandpa by Grundy Manor on a walk one day and he shared about Skylar. My daughter checked a book out of EMC's library this week and it was dedicated to Skylar's memory. She keeps coming to mind. I will pray for you each time she does. I'm so sorry for the tragic loss of your sweet girl.

With deepest sympathy,
Rigel S.

Hey Skyler, so what are you thinking about Heaven so far? Pretty awesome I'll bet! I feel sure, by everything I've read, and heard about you, that you're showing all the Other Little Angels the ropes-even though you've just recently arrived! Everyone misses you, and loves you very, very much Angel, and you will never, ever, be forgotten. Please send your family, and your friends some small signs, every now and then, to help them know that you're okay. And please send your Wisdom, and your Grace down here to help all of us-we really need it.
Sleep tight Sweetheart, You deserve it!!!

The LORD is my shepard, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You annoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. God bless you sweet Skyler. May you rest in the sweet arms of Jesus. May God pour his grace and comfort upon your family as they go through this horrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Our hearts break for you. God bless.
