Skylar, my beautiful Angel. You would have been 11 years-old this month. I miss you now more than ever but, I am comforted in knowing that GOD is holding you safely in his arms. Until I see you again, I love you so much and I do not know where I would be in life if GOD did not allow me to carry you for those 9 months. I miss you so much my Beautiful Angel.

"We were never to know you before you were gone. Your purpose fulfilled, God called you back home. Even an unborn life must sometimes depart, But I know you were here ... you left your footprints on my heart." -Margy

May God bless, keep, and comfort you during your time of sorrow.

With the deepest sympathy...
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope it comforts you both to know that there is support with you at all times from your loved ones. You and Sam are in my thoughts and prayers. Bugg, I hate that I couldn't be there (physically) with you today to mourn precious little Skylar, but hope you felt my love surrounding you in the form of God's grace. Know that you will never walk alone as his child...or as my friend.

Kirston and Sam,
I am so sorry for your loss. Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. You have to believe that Skylar was here for a reason and your connection could never be broken.

Kirston not only are we friends but we are sisters...your loss is my loss, your pain is my pain. I am here for you in whatever capacity you need…

Love you,
