You told it with such grace and love. I will remember you always in my prayers. She was/is such a beautiful baby. I have a granddaughter with full Trisomy 18. Her life is fragile and the doctors don't understand that her life is valuable to us. They like to say, "incompatible with life". Not so, she's beautiful, smiles, has personality and I could go on and on. I just want to say that I know someday we will be facing the same kind of loss you have with your dear girl. I always say to myself and everyone, I am her grammy FOREVER. Delainey will live forever and we will all share in God's Holy Kingdom. Love you and lots of hugs for you and your family. <3Susan Roquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698520757673789600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914503043269000925.post-90498464200496832242012-05-11T10:34:10.679-07:002012-05-11T10:34:10.679-07:00I am heartbroken in tears for you, thanks for shar...I am heartbroken in tears for you, thanks for sharing her story.

A person brought into this world with so many complications, loved by family, and everyone who reads this. But as you gave her back to God, as he took her back to heaven an amazing thing occurred. Her true beauty opened up in all it's beauty as she became like the buterfly, and is now free of pain, and anguish. Each time you see a butterfly, I know the peace and love will always come back to those preciuos memories of your little princess. Maybe she will be in charge of a butterly garden in heaven, who sends them to earth. God is love, and I know he has sent his angels to comfort you through this time.

Know that "hallway of support" you spoke of is bigger than you could ever imagine! The family of the Medved's and Foote's (my side) have been pulling for you guys since day one. My friends have been sending prayer after prayer your way. My sister Lisa has an entire church from Friendswood, TX praying for you guys... and their prayer group is no joke... it a huge group of cute old ladies who don't mess around when it comes to praying (I witnessed it first hand when my baby came early). Also, my friend Nicole & founder of http://www.jennabearsfoundation.org/ (she lost her 6 month old Jenna) helped me with ideals putting the basket/food together. She also offered to help with the reception and will reach out to you soon. Take all the time you need and know when you are ready you will have an endless line of support.... enough to fill more than just a hallway. Ellianna will NEVER be forgotten.

I loved my niece since the moment I knew of her and holding her in my arms only made me love her more. My heart aches for you, for me for all the things her Auntie would love to do with her and teach her. Still, I know she is in the arms of Jesus. Knowing her Mommy is walking with Jesus too is one of the most precious gifts I could know. I know that in the years to come we will see God continue to weave all the threads of Ellie's life that we can't yet understand into a beautiful tapestry.

I will be praying for continued peace for your whole family. I know this will be hard. I have not lost a child, but lost my grandmother last year, and something that I try to remind myself of when I am missing her and the tears come is that she is safe in heaven and no longer hurting. And while I ache for her still today, she is happy and whole.

He hears your prayers, he knows your pain, he cries with you! We are never prepared for the loss of a precious child, but God is always prepared to help us through that loss. He alone will give you the faith and strength that is needed to overcome your sorrow.
