    What a beautiful family. I will never forget Reagan's sweet face and rose bud lips.

    I am so honored you would chose to honor String of Pearls in Reagan's memory. I know many families will be impacted because of your willingness to reach out to others. This is a club we never asked to be a part of, but a club of mothers who love each other and their babies with a fierce love! You will not be alone on this journey and I am thankful to have the honor of knowing your precious family.

    Praying for hope and peace to fill your heart.

    Much love,
    Laura

    Reagan Joy

    Precious little Reagan Joy sent by God above
    You quickly intersected life to show us Jesus' Love.

    You came into our lives reflecting God's pure light
    to show the world that everyone is precious in His sight.

    Your mission is accomplished, you touched our lives that day
    Now let us all remember what you were sent to say.

    That life is but a vapor and we never know it's length
    so, let us live in Jesus' Love and witness in His strength.

    Love to you all,
    Mac & Diana

    Dear Mar and Dan~
    My name is Farrah. A mutual friend (Libby Spotts)forwarded your blog to me. I have been sitting here for the last hour reading all the posts and sobbing. Unfortunately, I know all too well your sorrow and I have felt the pain your hearts feel. I lost my first son, Micah, when he was three days old from complications due to genetic abnormalities.
    I just wanted to tell you first that your daughter is beautiful. What a precious little face!! And I love the family picture on your sidebar. You will cherish that memory forever, all four of you together.
    It has been almost 5years since Micah went to be with Jesus and I now have two more sons. Yet I still have moments when the waves of grief knock me off my feet. But those waves come less and less. And they eventually will for you too. There may always be a hole in your heart, you will always miss your precious Reagan and long to hold her and kiss her and watch her grow up. But eventually, it will feel more like a part of life and less like an obstacle to work through. It is starting to feel that way for me, mostly as I teach my other boys about their big brother in heaven.
    Lean on those around you for strength in these next few days and weeks and months. Give yourself room to grieve and question and cry.
    If you ever need a sympathetic ear, one who has walked this exact road, I am happy to talk with you or meet for coffee or bring you a meal (I live just 5min from Wheaton College).
    I am not trying to assume I know exactly how you feel or trying to prescribe to you what path this grief will take you on. But I have walked this myself and am still walking it. I am glad to share my journey with you in hopes that it may help you along yours.
    My heart is breaking for y'all tonight. I will be praying fervently during the viewing and service tomorrow- that God's miraculous peace and strength would cover your entire family.
    And the each time I visit my little Micah at Wheaton Cemetary, I will think of you and pray for you.

    Much love and prayers,
    Farrah Brown
