To the Smith's,

This is so hard for me to write to you as my heart just hurts for your tragic loss! I can say that I want to call you and come up there and love all over you, but it has been really hard for me to handle this news. I have no idea how to comfort you for I have not found the pain relief and not sure when I will. I do know that GODs strength has been the only thing carrying us through this tragic time. I want to offer you a shoulder to cry on- someone who understands the emotions that follow a tragedy like this! I love you so much. I pray for your family and that God will heal your hearts and give you comfort you need. We will continue to lift you up in prayers and are here for you!

LOVE ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!

* I have also attached this poem as I really love it!



It's the busiest day in Heaven
I'm planning a big surprise
To let you know I love you
And that no one ever dies

Even though your down below
And I am up above
I'm sending you my wishes
And all my angel love

It's really quite exciting
To plan this big event
For lots of gifts will come your way
And all are Heaven sent

First I'll take a bubble bath-
My splashes might cause some rain
But knowing all the fun I'm having
Will help to ease your pain

Next I'll get some pictures
In my halo and gown
So when you get to Heaven
You can show me all around

I have color crayons in Heaven
And I will draw some stars so bright
And place them in the sky today
For you to see tonight
Then Jesus will have story time
And I will sit upon his lap
He'll tell me all about you
Just before I nap

I'll awake full of energy
And play a game or two
Before I finish sending
All my love to you

After snack I'll write a song
For all the birds to sing
And know I've made you happy
With all the joy it brings

At night time I'll be tired
But I'll still hold you tight
My arms will wrap around you
And keep you through the night

And when you finally slumber
I will kneel and pray
Asking God to bless you
On this special Day

Love,
Your Little Angel

Tamye& Lee,
I cant begin to describe the saddness that I feel and I know you feel. Phoebe was loved by everyone that came in contact with her, especially by Trent. I cant begin to tell you how much your family means to me. I am very lucky that I know you all and very lucky that we had the pleasure of having Phoebe in our lives. I know we will somehow get through this, I know it will be difficult right now, but we will make it. We love you guys.

Hey you all I do not know anything to say that would help you,but I did find a poem that I felt like that would be of comfort a little later. I love you all!!!!!!

Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry~
"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies."
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't your cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.

Phoebe, you were and will always be such a special gift to all of us. You were so beautiful, tiny and dainty, yet such a fighter. You are so loved and will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts. I think of your precious little smile when you would finish a bottle like it was the best ever. We know you are our special angel and will be with us until we join you- never again to be separated. You have my love always. Grandma.

We all wonder what we're put here on Earth to accomplish. "What is my purpose?" we ask.

After spending the last few days with family and loved ones of Phoebe's, I saw so many lives changed because of her. People being cleansed with the tears that gushed out, and them getting back to what is really important. Many were mired in their own everyday troubles. But Phoebe helped us put all that in perspective and cleanse ourselves and not sweat the small stuff so much anymore. I came back blessed, loved, nutured and renewed. Filled with all the love and hugs I could hold. We all needed that so much.

Because of this little angel, I have met so many more wonderful angels still walking the Earth today shining their light as well.

Thank you little Miss Pheobe, I will never forget what you have done for me.

Tamye, my heart goes out to both you and Lee as well as the girls and Logan who have lost a little sister. God must have needed your little angel Phoebe for a grand purpose - although we may never know or understand why this happened. I can't imagine the hurt that you must be feeling - but I am still praying for you all and thinking of you daily. If you need me - please call me. I love you.

Tammy and Lee,
I pray for the pray for the incredible peace that only God can give at a time like this. I know from past experience that as you feel like he has betrayed you he hasn't and is the very one that will get you through this. We can't handle times like this on our own and he doesn't expect us to, so even though you don't think anything in the world will help right now he can and will just allow him to. We never get over these losses but we can get through them with support from friends and family and allowing God grant us peace in our hearts and walk this journey with us. My heart aches for you as I do know what you are going through and I will continue to pray for you and hold on to your daughters and Casey and Logan as they can help give you strength you never knew you had and you can give them strength they need as well right now. You will continue to be in my prayers. I will keep in touch with Cris to see what your needs are. As God tells us through the storms, Peace be still, as he can and will calm the waves.
