I cannot imagine what you are going through. Many years ago, I watched as my sister lost her little girl after only a few weeks. We believed in our hearts that she would find her way to us again, and she did - my sister gave birth to another baby girl a year and a half later. Allison Barbara was reborn as Megan Allison. Cooper can find his way back to his mama.

I and my family wish you all the love and support you can handle in this most difficult time. God bless.

There are many of us from the IHH group and the Intermountain Healing Hearts Angels Group who have been sharing our love. I want to also share my love and support. We lost our dear daughter Hanna 6 years ago, after her 19 year struggle with Autism and Heart and other health problems, so I know what you are going through. Please join us when you feel up to it on IHHA, so we can help you through the tough times ahead. The Comforter is with you now, this I know. He will support you as long as you need Him. I have felt His comforting arms around me. I am also a survivor of a CHD, born with a VSD, which was repaired 50 years ago! I've been on both sides of the struggles. Be strong, but know that you need to cry and share your feelings with those around you.
Love and prayers,

Tyson and Cassity,
I am completely heart broken for you loss of your beautiful little boy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember all of the wonderful memories you had with him. Even though I did not meat him in person I will always remember the strong kicking I got to feel from the outside of his mommas tummy. He is in a very happy place. We will miss his sweet spirit here on earth but he has a very special place in Heavenly fathers heart and he is home. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help in this time of grief. I love you and Ty so much. I will always have a place in my heart for sweet baby Cooper.

Cassity....My heart goes out to you and your family. I am so saddened by your loss. Looking into Cooper's eyes from the picture you posted I see a distinguished and confident young man. Certainly, he must have felt your love and knew that he was cherished. I wish I had been able to meet him. I'll look forward to doing so some day and will consider it an honor to shake his hand.

Cassity and Tyson,
I am so sorry to hear of the departure of Cooper from this life. His pain has ended and ours, just begun. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am not there
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the snow on the mountain's rim,
I am the laughter in children's eyes,
I am the sand at the water's edge,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
