Kristen and family: Lloyd and I know the pain you are feeling having lost a son (Blake) and just want to say that we are incredibly sorry and will continue to lift you and your family up in prayer. If you ever want to just talk, I am a good listener. You WILL see your little man again - that is a promise. With God's help you WILL make it through this - that is a promise, too. Ethan was gorgeous. I wish I could have known him; I will someday. God bless you and your family in a mighty way especially during this very difficult and painful time.

Many prayers, much love, and thankfulness to our Savior for the precious gift Ethan was for you all.
The service today was a beautiful testimony and glorified Jesus in ways you will only comprehend when you, too, see Him face to face.

Kristin, we love you and adore Ethan...and of course cannot imagine your pain and earth shattering loss. The sweetness in his eyes and the adorable smile are impressed upon my heart and mind. I will continue to uphold you in prayer, daily, that you may sometime find peace and comfort from the Lord who does 'give and take away'. Only with Christ and through Christ can you endure this hardship... all our love from our family to yours.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Kristin. I can't even begin to imagine the feeling of losing a child.

"Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Mt. 11:28-30)

I had the pleasure of caring for Ethan in children's church. What joy to sing songs to Jesus with him! You are a wonderful mother. May God give you strength in the quiet moments and peace in the days ahead until you are reunited with Ethan.

Even though there were struggles along her path, Kristin glowed when she was pregnant, clung to her faith and God blessed her with a beautiful love who changed so many lives. Giving all glory to our Savior, for His path will lead us to Eternal life with all those who believe.

I remember when you were pregnant and I would rub your tummy. I also remember meeting Ethan for the first time at the office and your mom was with. You were so good at charting all the diaper changes and feedings. You are such a wonderful mother. Many tears and prayers have been shed for you. I wish all that God can do for you now.
