Thank you everyone for the kind comments you have been leaving on this blog. It is so encouraging and comforting to read. Thank you for your prayers. It hurts so bad I don't have my baby to hold anymore, but by God's grace we are feeling His comfort. And we are smiling through our tears as we picture Lilly in heaven "running and leaping and praise God!"

I'm so sorry Lisa. I wish I could be there to give you a big hug, but I will be thinking and praying for you and your family. Lilly is a perfect little angel now and forever!! Love you so much! Lizzette
ReplyDeleteOur Darling baby is where God can take care of her now...Your family is an inspiration to many of us and I love you all dearly.
ReplyDeleteI have followed Lilly's ups and downs faithfully and have prayed for her as have many people. I am so sorry for your loss and know that the next few days will be especially hard on you. Please know that you will all continue to be in my thoughts and prayers - now and in the future. May God bless each of you.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and prayers to your family during this difficult time Lisa! Your amazing Lilly will never be forgotten!! May God surround you with love and comfort during this time!

ReplyDeleteThis song speaks to me of Lilly.
I haven't stopped praying for you since we heard the news last night. I could barely breathe when I walked by F's door at school and saw all of the beautiful pictures of Lilly. I wish you could have heard Dell talk about her at the staff luncheon today. He could barely speak through his tears, and as the entire CCS staff prayed as one for your family, most of us were in tears too. You have touched so many people in the way you cared for her, always believing that her life was worth fighting for. What an example you have been to so many people. I will miss hearing her talk in church; what a special sound that was. We will not stop praying. You are loved.
ReplyDeleteI cannot adequately express my sincere sorrow for your family, mixed with the joy that you know where your Comfort is and that she has not passed from you completely, but simply gone ahead of you. I've often found comfort in those very verses that you quoted surrounding David's own heartbreak. Though we do not mourn as those who have no hope, we do mourn. Your family is on our hearts and in our prayers during this difficult time.

We have never met, I followed Lilly's life through your blog. Thank you for sharing her journey with us. May Gods face on you all.

Love and prayers for you and your family! We have followed Lilly's life-story via your blog. What a wonderful story, and she was obviously so beloved and well cared for. She is now in our Fathers loving care, and she will never ever suffer anymore.

Tonight the CCS "blue" basketball team won their game. At the end of the post-game meeting, the boys usually count "1,2,3,KNIGHTS" and tonight it was "1,2,3, LILLY" (one of the boys' idea). Thinking of you all and praying often! I smile when I think of Lilly without any physical ailments, but my heart aches for you.
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your family. The Dear Lord that created your darling baby girl is able to care for her for all eternity. I am sure He is able to comfort you as well.
ReplyDeleteI happened on your blog today and my heart is breaking for you all.
Rest well in knowIng you gave her a good life.

I know we don't know each other, but I feel like I've gotten to know your family over the past few months as I've read your blog and prayed for Lilly.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tell you how sorry I am that your little one is no longer with you to hold, but I have to say that the first thing today when I saw your post from last night I pictured your baby taking her first steps into our loving Fathers arms all while clinching her first bouquet of sweet little bitty flowers. I'm sure she had such an amazing first day in Heaven today! She has been perfect from the start and today she has begun to enjoy what it truly feels like!
Blessings to your family as you go through the next few days and weeks. I pray that God will give each person in your family a peace that passes all understanding and holds you all in a cloak of comfort!
I have been following the blog with my parents. I have felt like I got to know Lilly and when I heard what had happened I could not stop crying. Even though we never met I miss her dearly and I know that someday I will get to meet her...with a healthy and perfect body. I pray that God will comfort you and your family. May you have peace knowing she is with our Heavenly Father.

What a beautiful image: Lilly leaping and jumping and praising God. May you hold that image in your heart and your mind until you are reunited with her in heaven.
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
Megan Lee
I was in total shock as I checked in for my normal "catch up" on your blog. What a gracious and loving God to spare your family a painful and tedious homecoming for Lilly. What a wonderful thing that I and many others can see and talk to Lilly for the first time when we go home to be with The Lord. Thank You for blessing us with this heartwarming look into your private life and sharing so many scriptures that I would not have read otherwise.
