I realize words can not express what you are feeling. Just know that you are surrounded by a supportive family and countless friends that are willing to stand with you during what may come to be the most difficult walk you take. Continue to trust in GOD for strength and peace. John 11:25, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life."

I would like to express my condolences to your family. Even though we don't know one another I read about the loss of your loved one in the paper. We have been to the St. Louis Childrens Hosp. for a heart transplant with my son and i cant imagine what your going through but we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
I will always remember the little blond haired cherub that stole the heart of anyone who met her. Our lives were truly enriched for having known her.
