No words...


Joanna Claire was born at 7:28 am this morning July 28. She was a full 26 weeks old. She weighed 2lbs. 13 oz. and was 12 in long. Her hands and feet were so tiny. Thank you all for your prayers, I have felt a real peace today.
I wanted to share the lyrics to the song I kept thinking of today...
He Knows My Name

I have a Maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands

I have a Father
He calls me His own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call

Tears stream down my face for you and your family. I'm so, so glad you have the peace of Jesus. What else could possibly keep you all from falling apart at such a sad time for you all. Happily rejoice that Jesus, amazing, all powerful God and protector is holding your sweet baby girl in His arms.

Love you all in Christ,
Carmel

Mike and Kristin: We are weeping with you in your loss of Joanna Claire. You summed it up when you wrote "No Words". There are no words to comfort you but we have a God who is our comforter. He sends Grace and Mercy to us in Times of Trouble. We just want you to know that we are kneeling beside you at The Throne of Grace.
Our love to you,
Bob and Judi Loftin

I am so terribly sorry to hear of your loss. What a comfort to know that Joanna is being held in the arms of Jesus right now. I pray that you find the peace that passes all understanding during this immensely difficult time.

Blessings,

Thank you for sharing such precious memories with us. July 28 is a special day as that was my sisters birthday. She was born with Downs Syndrome and passed away just 4 years ago. Praying for you as you grieve.

Mike and Kristen~

I have just come upon your story. I have read all of Noah's story. OH MY~ is all I can say. Beautiful baby. I am so sorry you have to do it again now.

I have 4 children and 2 waiting in heaven for us. We lost a son Dominick Joseph March 23, 1996 he was 17 weeks gestation. Dominick means "belonging to the Lord" and Joseph is the male version of my name. 13 years doesn't make the pain any easier. We lost another one October 20, 2003 at 9 weeks.

My prayers are with you during this long hard week. {{{HUGS}}}
