We are so sorry for your loss. Samuel was so very precious, and what wonderful parents he had that took such amazing care of him. We're sure he is laughing and playing in heaven now, and will be a precious angel to your family.

God Bless,

Jeff and Kristy,

My heart is breaking for you. Samuel's short journey on this earth was blessed by having the two of you as parents. Your faith is inspiring. We're praying for you. Thanks for sharing his story with us, he will be missed.

Oh Kritsy, Jeff and sweet Dawson- thinking of you and praying for you- you are an amazing family and I thank you for sharing your journey. I was reading back to your first post today about how the Drs. said he wouldn't be here at all, maybe for only a few hours-but he was here to touch the lives of so many people drawing closer to God. I am so sorry for your loss.

Kristy, Jeff & Dawson,

I am so sorry for your loss. We know that Samuel is with Jesus now and will run, laugh, and look down over you all. I pray that God gives you strength while you deal with this painful loss. You all showed us all what FAITH can do. Samuel could not have asked for better parents than you all. You loved him like no one else could have. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Your strength and courage have been amazing. I am praying for all of you.

Kristy, we are all here for you no matter how far apart.

Your cousin, Tina

You're stronger than me.

I don't know if I could bear losing my child like this after all the hard struggles and triumphs of seeing his brain grow since his birth.

It's too sad for me to contemplate.
I'm crying now for Samuel.

Jeff & Kristy,
We are so sorry for your loss. May you find peace in knowing that Samuel is with his Lord and Savior and can now run and play and be free of all the tubes that bound him. You have both shown us all so much in your faith as God showed his trust by giving you to Samuel to care for him until he was ready to take him home. I pray that you will be able to find some peace and strength in this most difficult time.

Jeff/Kristy,

I just got back from being at Frontier for the last few days, and checked your blog first thing. Your journey has been heartbreaking. I'm praying for comfort, peace and a sense of joy that Samuel's in a better place, with a perfect body, enjoying the company of Jesus and the Father. Love you guys. ~ Brian

Tim has kept the staff at the Creation Museum up to date on how things have been going for all of you. Please know our prayers are with you. What a happy day to know Samuel is now able to see his Lord face to face! I'm reminded of what I was reading earlier today, "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Coritnthians 4:18
In Christ's love,
