I don’t know how to begin to thank you all for your phone calls, texts, cards, the flowers that are all over our house, the food that has been made by so many loving hands and the emails. Taylor and I are surrounded by nothing but love and we thank you. Every night we get in bed and read over all the cards and emails that have been send to us. The words are encouragement and scripture is so uplifting. Someone said just yesterday that Mamie is not lost, we know exactly where she is. That really grabbed my attention because it is so true. We know she is a little angel looking down on us right now and we will see her again some day. That makes me smile just thinking about it.
Yesterday Britney was showing Silas the pictures of Mamie. He pointed at the picture and said “Baby”. Britney said, “Do you know who that baby is Silas?” and he looked up at her without even a pause and said “Mamie” in his sweet little voice. I am crying now just thinking about it. He knows exactly who she is and he never even met her.
Thank you all again. Please keep praying.
Love,
Sarah and Taylor
- I know that there must be so much sadness and pain in you right now, but your words are so encouraging to me. I can really feel the strength you and Taylor have and I know that you will get through each day only getting stronger and stronger. It is so peaceful to know where Mamie is and that we will all see her one day healthier than ever imagined!

July 2, 2009 - 10:15 am - "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness." I know the Lord's love and mercies will hold you in a new way this early morning and every other. Praying for you!
July 2, 2009 - 10:36 am - Sarah and Taylor, You don't know me, but my in-laws are Cissy's neighbors and Jason and Taylor grew up together. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you cope with your sadness. Your strength is amazing and we are so glad that you shared the beautiful pictures of Mamie. That beautiful little baby girl will live forever in your hearts.
July 2, 2009 - 11:30 am - The stillness of the morning is the most innocent time with God, after that the world tries to get in the way. I belive we are born as little angels - Silas knows... He is probably more connected to her than we can imagine. You, Taylor and the rest of your family are continuously in my heart and on my mind.
July 2, 2009 - 2:25 pm - Sarah, I have been praying for you this past week and my heart breaks for ya'll. Know that even though I have not seen you in years and live all the way across the country (Oregon, of all places!) you are thought of and covered in prayer. Know how loved you are, baske in that during this time as it is obvious how loved you are by all. I know there are no words during this time of loss. But I praise Him that you feel closer than ever to Him as you mentioned in your recent post. And I will be praying for your marriage, that you both will cling to the other and not let this tear you apart but only bring you closer to one another and the Lord. Praying.
July 2, 2009 - 6:38 pm - Sarah and Taylor, I know you don't know me but I have been praying for you over the last several days. I am Crystal's future sister-in-law and I spoke with her the morning after Mamie arrived. God has laid this child and your family on my heart, and I want you to know that my heart aches for you. I can't imagine the pain that you are going through right now, but I know a God who understands everything you are feeling. I know He is with you and will continue to comfort you. Turn all your pain over to Him and He will guide you and Taylor through this terrrible tragedy. She was absolutely gorgeous. I know you will rejoice in heaven one day when you see her again. God bless you and your family and know that you are being lifted up to God. Love in Christ, Anna
July 3, 2009 - 9:55 pm - My love and prayers are with you. Just keep leaning on God during this difficult time. Praying for you now in these difficult days.
July 4, 2009 - 6:50 am - Only God could create parental love. It is truly powerful and mysterious. I hear it in your voice and I know it lives within you. With continued prayers for healing, comfort, and tender memories.
July 9, 2009 - 7:55 pm - I am so inspired by your ability to find comfort in the Lord. I hope you find comfort with Him and each other. I will continue to pray for you.
