To our sweet baby Case: In an instant you filled our lives with joy...We quickly fell in love with your big brown eyes, your soft skin, your smiles, and your laughter. Your aunts were wrapped around your tiny fingers in no time.
We will treasure our memories … The joy of holding you tight … The smell of your skin after a bath ... and gazing into your deep brown eyes ... When you had your first taste of baby food and got more on your face than in your mouth … when you and Kelsey had a church service in the hospital after everyone else had gone … and of the glorious day that you were baptized … all the precious times you, Dani, and Adella hung out while mommy and daddy were gone ... and when I gave you a bath and you smilled and laughed all the way through ... We loved you through stinky diapers, even when it made Kelsey throw up ... We love you still...
You have changed our lives ... Sweet little angel ... you have taught us not to take a moment or breath for granted. You have reminded us to be joyful about the little things in life. Through grace we were able to see Christ in you ... We are rejoicing as you dance through the streets of heaven, set free from SMA, hand in hand with our Lord and Savior who has called you home.
I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. – John 5:24
With all of our love, Your Aunties ~ Robyn, Dani & Kelsey
Ryan and Ashley:
You have walked a path which you did not ask for, as Case would never lead the life you dreamed for him and you walked a difficult road with dignity and perseverance. A testament to the grace of God and to your faith.
Through you we have learned about faith that surpasses understanding and perseverance through incredible trials. You and the body of believers around you were vessels through which God has changed lives. You and your family have provided us a glimpse of the grace and love of GOD ... You have mirrored to us and to your family the love of Christ. We hope that the words of Ephesians 3 will be true: We pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. May he enfold you in His grace, His Peace, and His love in the days and weeks to come. We love you so much!
