I love you baby girl. Mommy, Daddy and big sister Madeline

I love you Emma with all my heart ... I guess God knew better by taking you away from me. I knew all along you were a girl, but I had no clue that when I went to find out your little heart wouldn't be beating. I wanted you way before you were due to be in my arms for real. Now I have to wait until the time we were really meant to be together. I Love You So Much!

February 11, 2004 ~ 20 weeks
Anencephaly
It has been two weeks since your Daddy and I made the decision to release you to Heaven. As I rocked your tiny little body in the hospital, I dreamed of what you might have looked like. Would you have had dark hair and eyes like your one big sister, or would you have brown curly hair and hazel eyes like your other big sister? Then last week as your sisters were picking berries and laughing, I saw you with them: You and your brown curly hair in a light blue romper, laughing and smiling. Then you turned looked at me with a big smile, waved and then you were gone. I now have a picture of you smiling and I will cherish it forever.
Love you always,
Mommy.

We waited four years for you to enter our lives and after only 22 weeks we were forced to make a terrible decision. As my heart bleeds today and everyday, I know we made the right decision for you. You made me the happiest person in the world. Always know that a day does not go by that I don't pray and think about you. You will always be apart of me. I hope you found your great Grandparents and they are holding you close.
I love you always!

To my little "Sweet Potato": Loving you was the easiest thing I ever did, it came so naturally. Letting you go was a heart-shattering experience that I may never overcome.

We sent our sweet angel to be with God because she was diagnosed with hydranencephaly. Her poor head had so much pressure on it her brain never formed and her face was deformed. The doctor said she would not live no matter what. As a special Ed. teacher I knew that she needed to go be with God. We love our angel and cannot wait to hold her again.

Making the decision to put you into God's hands was the toughest decision your daddy and I have ever had to make. We wanted you more than ever but knew it wasn't fair to let you live a life full of pain and suffering. Instead, we chose to live with the pain of missing you, so you can live on in peace. Seeing you for the first time was the best moment of our lives, but letting you go was the worst. I miss you terribly every minute of everyday, but you live on in our hearts. I can't wait to hold you again, Eli!

Mathew, we love and miss you so much. You are so beautiful, with your long fingers and perfect feet, it is hard to believe you are gone. Letting you go was the hardest thing we have ever had to do. That one night we had with you was the most special night and we will remember you always.
Lots of hugs and love and kisses,

So many things we wish to say to you and yet we find ourselves without the time to say them. We held you in our hands and you were so tiny. It was hard to believe that you were ours. We were so very proud to have been chosen to be your parents. We regret not being able to watch learn, grow, laugh and play and having to chance to love. We know you are happy and safe now and no harm will come to you now. We love you and cant wait to meet you.
Love always,
Mommy, Daddy and little brother Trent

We loved you from the moment we found out about you. We loved you enough to suffer so you didn't have to. Your name means courageous. That is what we will have to be to live through the desperate sadness that we feel and the longing to hold you in our arms. You are in God's arms and you are whole and perfect and safe. We love you and miss you and will never ever forget you. Rest well our precious baby girl.
Love from Mommy, Daddy and big brother Aidan

Our beautiful little Riley ... How happy we were when we found out we were pregnant. Mommy and Daddy loved you so very much and we will never ever forget you. I am so sorry that we will never get to hold you again or give you all that you need. You would have been the perfect little cheerleader (or whatever you dreamed to be)! You made us parents for the first time. You are our little princess!
Love,

Words alone cannot describe the love we feel for you nor the sorrow we hold in our hearts to not have you with us. We didn't want to let you go. You are always in our thoughts, prayers and dreams. While we only had you with us for a short while, you brought us enough joy and love to last a lifetime.
We love you with all of our hearts.

There were so many things wrong with your little body that they told us you would suffer if we prolonged your life. And loving you as much as we do, we didn't want to put you through that. So we had to make the hardest choice of our lives and let you go before we even had a chance to know you. We miss you and love you so much.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

She was brought into our lives with great surprise and taken away too soon. Her family loves her with all their hearts. God now holds Olivia in his arms where it is safe. May we never forget this gift that was given to us, even though she was taken away. Her family now has a special angel to greet them to the doors of heaven when it is our time. We love you and miss you!
