My wife and I are saddened to hear of your loss. We had a son 14 days old that the Lord decided was too beautiful and took him straight to Heaven. To this day, we're still not sure why this happened to us, but we believe that God has us in the palm of His hand and sometimes you have to just trust Him. Your son will always be with you. One thing I learned - that time helps to lessen the pain. Allow yourself time to grieve - and allow God's grace to meet you there.

Dear Butlers,
Our hearts understand the pain that you are experiencing. We, too, lost our precious baby girl, Allymae, on May 17, 2010. The devastation is deep and the pain is unbearable. We hold on to God's promise that we will join our daughter in Heaven so long as we are faithful to Him. Until that time comes, we will rejoice in the love that we experienced with our daughter during my 32 week pregnancy and the short time we spent with her after her passing. We hope you will find some peace in the love we know you have for your son.

Sincerely,
Seth and Kelly Miller

Jenna & Family, I give you my deepest sympathy and I have you and your family in my prayers. I cannot fathom the heartache nor sorrow that you are enduring. I pray that it comforts your heart to know that Tanner is rejoicing in Heaven. "Precious, in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints" (Psalms 116:15). Hold on to that word: Precious--for it may give you peace, acceptance, and understanding of something that we cannot attain. May God bless you and comfort you.
