I'm so sorry for your loss. I am glad you had this time with her before she went to her eternal home. Know that you and yours are in my prayers!
I am so sorry for your loss and will continue with prayers for your entire family. I hope you can find comfort in that you have a saint in heaven! God Bless You and thank you for sharing your precious baby with everyone.
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers this Easter season. May the joy of the Resurrection bring you comfort and consolation as you know your beautiful daughter is now a Saint. Saint Rebecca, pray for us.
Beth,
Love, hugs, and prayers.
A beautiful tribute to a little girl who touched so many people's lives. The second to last paragraph is perfect. I am so sad for you and will keep praying for your family.
What a beautifully tribute. Rebecca's life touched many people. Prayers for you all this week.
A very touching obituary for a tiny lass that made such a big impact on so many. I love the part that says how much she was loved. It's so true!
Still praying.
I'm so sorry for your loss. But thank you so much for sharing Rebecca with us. Your story of bravery and openness to God's will is such amazing testimony to the value of life. All life! I can't imagine your sorrow and grief right now. I'm sure Holy Week will never be the same for you. We know Rebecca is in Heaven, and I hope that gives you some small measure of comfort, even though I'm sure you'd rather her still be in your arms. Please know I'm praying for all of you.
Beth, I've only found your blog within the last week, but Rebecca and your family haven't been far from my thoughts this entire time. I laid a special, beautiful pink rose at Our Lady's feet today before the Good Friday service at the University of Notre Dame. Rebecca has touched so many in so short a time. Thank you for allowing so many of us to know her from afar.
Beth, my heart is so heavy for you, Dan, Peter and Sarah. Rebecca's obituary is perfectly said and it shows the love you bear for her. St. Rebecca, pray for us.
Prayers continue for you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.
Sending love and prayers your way.
I'm sorry you only had 5 days with your little one. God bless you and your family and help you through this difficult time.
what a beautiful story of love rebecca has - with so many sharing the loss, I hope you all find much peace.
Praying for your family during this difficult time. Rebecca is beautiful and her short life was so precious. Praying that my Caleb was there to greet Rebecca when she came into the Kingdom and show her around! "God is close to the broken hearted" Psalm 34:18.
I am so sorry. We just lost our 12 year old son in October. I grieve with you. May Rebecca show you signs of her love and her joy now just like our Sam does.
Thinking of you and your family.
XOXO
There really aren't words for me right now. Beautiful words written for your beautiful girl. I'm just so sorry for your loss.
