There are no words of comfort that can help you and your family durning this time. "Your daughter must have been a borrowed angel here in this life. They come around into this world and they make it all bright. But she never knew it, she was heaven sent; and sometimes Heaven needs them back again." You will always have the spirit of this beautiful angel always.

Chris, Lisa and family,
Words can't express the sorrow we feel for your family. Abbie was a very special little angel. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Take comfort in knowing that Jesus promises a place in heaven for those who believe in Him. He says in the Gospel of John "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so,I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am there you may be also. And you know the way I am going. John 14:1-4. If there is ANYTHING we can do for you please don't hesitate to contact us.

I am so sorry for your loss, Its hard when a child dies so young, i do know i lost my only son at the age of 8... You are going to go through some hard time. Its going to be hard but you need to keep family close and keep the faith of god with you to get through this. I went into a deep depression for a yr. Having no close family close to me it was hard... Just hold on to faith and family you will need it. Many Family fall apart durning something like this..
