Bac Thao's Thoughts to Keira  / BAC THAO (AUNT)
December 17, 2007


A year ago today you left our family and went to heaven with God.  Everyday since you passed away is a difficult day for your parents but today must be one of the toughest day.  I still remembered that Sunday so vividly when your mommy called me and told me you were no longer with us.  She cried and screamed out your name.  How devastated it was for your parents and for all of us.  We love you so much and miss you dearly.  Keira, please watch over our family.  Pray to God for us.  Please watch over your great-grandfather.  He's sick and needs a lot of comfort and hope.  Although your time with us on earth was brief, but you left us with so much wonderful memories.  We love you and always think of you. 

Love,

Bac Thao

Happy 1st Birthday  / Mommy And Daddy
Sweet Angel Keira,

We count the days, weeks and months leading up to your birth and today, is your first birthday. How time has gone by so fast . . . We feel as if it is still so unreal that you are in Heaven. We know and believe that God had a purpose for you when He blessed you into our lives. Though we held you for only 76 days, they were happiest times in our lives and we will always remember. We are happy and proud to be your Mommy and Daddy. We know that you are watching over us from Heaven and we ask that you guide us to be strong and to continue our faith.

Happy 1st Birthday, Princess. We love and miss you so much.

Always in our hearts,

Mommy and Daddy

SIDS Mom - so very sorry  / Angie Means (Angel Mom )
My name is Angie Means and my son passed away from SIDS on September 8, 2006. In the past 8 months, we have been through so much pain and suffering that I have asked myself how a mother can live without her child. My husband has asked himself the same question. 

How are you doing? When people ask me this question, I never know how to answer. If I told them the truth, no one would ever ask again. Part of you dies when your child is taken away.

I hope you are doing as well as you can be - whatever that means. 

You have my thoughts and prayers. I would love to hear back from you and find out how you are doing.

Thanks,
Angie Means

Memories are ours forever  / Latrisha Fall (^kalel's^ mommy )

Your daughter is absolutly beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss. My son passed away on December 17, 2006 as well. That day and every sunday it seems will never be the same. We don't know what he passed away from yet we are still awaiting the results but he was sleeping right next to me and I didn't even know he died. I don't understand how I didn't know. I'm sure our children are in heaven laughing and playing together. They are loving us as much as we love them. In heaven they have a love that measures beyond love of this world. I hope you find comfort and strength from her. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your family.

Know you are blessed.  / Tammy BLACKMON (passing by )
You and your husband have truly been blessed.  I know this cause I too had an angel just as sweet as yours.  You both know the pain, but please remember the happiness she bought to you and your family.  She will always  be with you.  I know the words are not want you want to hear, you'd rather hear that she is home safe.  Please know she is safe in god's arms.  He is holding her as they both look down on you and your husband smiling.  If anyone of you you need a shoulder please know that I am hear for both you.  Please be kind to yourselfs and each other.  Remember that grief comes in waves and we each go through it differently.  Hugs to you both.  

With love,
Jarrett's Mommy

THE BROKEN CHAIN  / Laura (Passing thru )
We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of was went with you, the day God called your name.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

So Sorry for your loss  / Sarah Webster (Another Angel Mommy )
Dear Keira's Family, 

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful daughter that you have. I know your pain all too well. I lost my only daughter to SIDS on Dec. 15th 2005. She was 11 weeks old.  Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.  I know how hard it is to move from one day to the next after a loss like this. Try to take one day at a time, even one minute at a time if that is what it takes.  I will pray that God will help you heal and help you through your pain in the days ahead.  If you need someone to talk with who understands your loss and has somehow made it throught the 1st year, please feel free to email me anytime.  I'm always glad to chat or listen or cry.  Our angels will be waiting for us in heaven to join them, just as I know that my angel Alexandra was waiting at the gates of heaven to welcome your sweet Keira into heavens nursery. 

Thinking and praying for you, 

Sarah , forever mommy to angel Alexandra Gayle.

Letter to Keira  / Mommy

Hello Keira,

How is Heaven?

Sundays are always so much more difficult for us as it was your Angel day. Last night Daddy was up late. He sat in the dark and cried as he talked to you. Did you hear him? He misses you so much . . . we all do. People say that it will get easier each day. So far, we don’t feel that way. We miss you more and more. Our hearts are still broken and we have so much pain and anger. The only thing that keeps us going is our faith and we believe that one day, we will hold you in our arms again. We love you, Sweetie.

Always and forever, Mommy

Keira / Evan Scott (None)
Hi,

    My name is Evan Scott out of Wilmington, NC. A friend of mine referred me to the Memory-of.com web site. Let me start by saying how deeply sorry I am that you lost your daughter.
    My wife and I have a daughter that will be 2 in May and I remember every night for a long time, one of my biggest fears is that she wouldn't wake up in the morning. I'd lay awake listening closely, often times thinking I heard her crying when she wasn't.
     Babies passing away, whether naturally, by abortion etc is something I feel very strongly about. It's a very sad thing, but I always think of the "age of accountability", meaning that young children are with the Lord when they die. Take comfort in that and also in knowing that if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you'll get to see Keira again when you're called home.
     Again, I'm sorry for your loss. Just remember that little Keira is sitting at the right hand of God.

                                           Sincerely,
                                                          Evan A. Scott Close

Scriptures That Truly Comfort...  / Dacvid And Margarita (Passerby)
Dear Cecilia,

My wife and I are so sorry for the loss of your child, and we wish to express our condolences to you and your family. What has encouraged my wife and I upon the death of our loved ones was a booklet that we read, entitled 'When Someone You Love Dies,' which really helped us to cope with our feelings, such as grief and guilt during such a time. Some of the questions it answered for us were:
How Can I Live With My Grief?
How Long Does Grief Last?
Why Guilt, Anger, and Recrimination?
Facing the Loss of a Stillborn Child
The Mystery and Grief of Crib Death
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome-Facing the Grief
Steps to Help You Overcome Your Grief

Cecilia, you wrote that 'some people said that God chose her to be His angel and to be our saint.' Such thinking is not unique. Millions have thought the way they do, however, using logic and reasonableness, such a belief is neither comforting nor Scriptural.

Is the Creator really so cruel that he would capriciously inflict death on our loved ones, knowing that this breaks the hearts of the surviving family? No, not the God of the Bible; according to 1 John 4:8, “God is love.” Note that it says not that God has love or that God is loving but that God is love. 

So intense, so pure, so perfect is God’s love, so thoroughly does it permeate his personality and actions, that he may rightly be spoken of as the very personification of love. This is not a God who kills people ‘because he needs another angel.’ Rather, He wants families to be united in life, not divided in death. Then why death in the first place?

You wrote that ‘someday, somehow, your questions will be answered and you will understand.”
These were questions that my wife and I had as well. However, we found the answers!

You see Cecilia, what has comforted us is that God’s Word, the Bible, indicates that it is possible to be reunited with our dead loved ones in the near future, not in an unknown heaven, but right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. (John 5:21, 28, 29) At that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again. (Psalm 37:29 and Matthew 5:5.)

In fact, a Bible prophecy in the book of Isaiah goes on to tell of the heartwarming conditions that will prevail in God’s new world, saying: “No more will the sound of weeping or the sound of cries be heard in her; in her, no more will be found the infant living a few days only . . . They will not toil in vain or beget children to their own ruin, for they will be a race blessed by Yahweh, and their children with them.”—Isaiah 65:19-24, Jerusalem Bible.

Some other verses that have comforted us:
2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 "Blessed be the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation."
Psalm 145:16 "You are opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing."
Acts 17:31 "He [God] has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead."
Isaiah 51:12 "I—I myself am the One that is comforting you people."
Isaiah 66:13 "Like a man whom his own mother keeps comforting, so I myself shall keep comforting you people."
Psalm 119:50, 52, 76 "This is my comfort in my affliction, for your own saying has preserved me alive. I have remembered your judicial decisions from time indefinite, O Jehovah, and I find comfort for myself. May your loving-kindness serve, please, to comfort me, according to your saying to your servant."
John 5:28, 29 "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life."

My wife and I know that you will find very comforting, not only the scriptures referenced here, but also the booklet. They have truly made it easier for us.

Cecilia, please feel free to share these thoughts with the rest of your family. If you or they would like further information about our loving Creator's hope for such ones, practical suggestions that help to deal with grief, as well as how to answer children's questions in these matters, you are welcome to email us back, and we can mail you a physical copy that we have available, at no cost to you, and without any obligation. 

Again, we are truly sorry for your loss of your little one. Our prayers will be with you and yours.

Sincerely,

David & Margarita Schroeder
