My dearest Friends,

It is with deepest sadness that I let you know that carried by angels and lifted up by your many prayers, little Grace was taken home this afternoon.

I have been told that she had the most beautiful little green eyes, which I’m quite certain are gazing down on us now as she bathes in the perfect light and perfect love of Heaven.

The family and those of us close to her will carry her in our hearts forever, as we will the gratitude we feel for the support and comfort you have given us during this past week. In a world that seems to grower darker every day, she has been, and continues to be a radiant light and a reminder that life, though fragile is at the same time, the most precious and powerful of gifts with which we are endowed.

Grace's grandmom who has read through your replies periodically during the course of the week asked me to communicate her gratitude, as well as that of little Grace for your compassion and kindness.

God our Father,

Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen.

O God, whose most dear Son did take little children into his arms and bless them; Give us grace, we beseech thee, to entrust the soul of this child to thy neverfailing care and love, and bring us all to thy heavenly kingdom; through the same thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of all comfort; Deal graciously, we pray thee, with all those who mourn, that, casting every care on thee, they may know the consolation of thy love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Dear Lord God,

Do bless Joe for bringing to us Grace’s plight and that of her fmaily and firends, that we have been privledged to unite in prayer for all. We thank you that Grace is now with you and all her suffering is gone...a complete healing in every sense of the word. May your name be high and lifted up.

Still Lord, there are those of family and friends who now need the comfort of heart only you can give,.....tender moments ...tender hearts. May your abiding presence touch each one as they make preparations and mourn this great loss. ....but especially that of Grace’s mother Lord, may the wound of her heart not lay too low for too long, and that you would go before her as she moves now thru the hard days and weeks ahead. Hold her tenderly Lord and walk her steps for her when the way seems to difficult for her.

Thanking you for all which has been and will be accomplished in your will for each.
In Jesus name, Amen

Welcome to heaven, God's newest little angel.
Look down in love on your family who
are missing you so much!
Condolences to the family who have

May Grace rest in God’s peace.

You have my sympathies — and gratitude for your heartfelt update, something that had to be difficult for you to do at a time like this.

Also, prayers for and condolences to Grace’s other family, friends, and caregivers.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please give my deepest sympathies to Grace’mom and grandmother and her family and friends.

May you all share in the peace that passes all understanding.

For the short time Grace was with us, she gave us hope and joy during times and life that are sometimes dark and difficult. To know that she literally “graced “ us with her presence was such a wonderful gift! Thank God she is in peace and eternal joy.

Thank you again for sharing Grace’s journey with us, it must not have been easy for you and we are all grateful for being witness to the love so many had for her.
