Reagan is with Jesus!

Shortly after celebrating her one day birthday, sweet baby Reagan has gone home with Jesus. Praise God for His love and faithfulness and that Dan and Mar are surrounded by loved ones at this time. Thank you for your continued love and prayers.

    You chose this verse for her...you gave her over to Him before she was born...and now she is WITH Him. She is perfect. I love you.

    Followed Angie's twitter here.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you had a day with her. I know that time will be cherished in your hearts forever, though it will never be enough.

    We said good bye to my great-nephew Mason 6 weeks ago. He was also a T18 baby. He lived for 5 miraculous days before flying to Jesus.

    God bless and comfort you.

    Dear Dan and Marceline,
    I have been praying for you and your family during this difficult time by tracking with the prayer reminders at IBC. When I visited your blog for the first time yesterday, I was surprised by joy. Marceline, did you realize that despite the great anguish you were walking through you were radiating joy in your pictures? I was in awe. Can a blog be "holy?" Reagan truly did bring you joy as her name states. Powerful! We praise the Lord for answering our prayers for you to see and hold your precious Reagan Joy. Love, Kristin and Eric Froelich

    Dear Marceline, Dan & Jackson & family,
    We are church and school friends with the Houlihans. Gigi had shared your story with us long before you were blessed with the arrival of Reagan Joy. Your choices in this journey have been inspirational. There is a tremendous testiment of God's loving hand in these pages. Look at the lives Reagan Joy has touched in her short time on this earth. As Christians we live our lives knowing that being with the Lord is our ultimate reward, but selfishly it is hard to give our loved ones to Him. You have chosen to celebrate Reagan Joy's life and the gifts God has given you. Thank you for sharing those gifts with all of us. Reagan Joy is truly an angel.
