Thank you all so much for your prayers for Grace. She went home to be with the Lord on Monday. She is now whole and perfect! The Lord allowed for our contact, the woman who sent us updates on Ellie, to tell her family about the small beautiful service that was held for Grace at the home. Through her tiny six-pound body, God has been glorified in her life and will continue to be glorified in her story.

Please pray for Ken, Amy and their six children as they grieve. This family has been so faithful to the Lord, even in this difficult situation! Also, please pray for the mama's that work there. They seem to hold little back in loving these children. Ellie has three specific mama's that care for her, but because Grace needed extra care, all of the staff was very involved in her care. She was loved by many there and the many who prayed for her from afar!

Job 1: 21b "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD."

Oh that is so sad to hear. Will be praying. Praise the Lord for hope and the promise of eternity. What would we do without it?

My heart weeps for those who have cared for and loved this little girl; but lifts praise and adoration for the Heavenly Father who has welcomed her home and waits to welcome all believers home with Him.
Love,

Whitney,

We both have children celebrating birthdays today. Happy Birthday to Ellie! I will most certainly be thinking of her in my prayers today. And I will also be praying for Grace's family, what heartache they must be feeling. But praise God for the hope he has graciously provided to us!
