We are in awe of your strength and how you rely on God through all of this...it's just the way it should be! Let Him give you peace and comfort during this most difficult time. Your story has touched us and we have been praying for you all daily. May God bless and keep you!

That was so beautiful. Your faith and grace continue to amaze me with every post. I hope and pray that you and Jason can rest upon one another in His love during such a difficult season.
That was beautiful. My thoughts and prayers are with you and my heart breaks for what you are going through. I'll be praying for your beautiful family.
Amazing Grace. As soon as I got to work, the first thing I did was check your blog. You have been on my mind and heavy on my heart these last couple days. I can't begin to explain how your grace and strenght has touched me. What a beautiful video. I will continue to pray for you and your family. God is holding your Reese in his arms as he watches over your family :)
Very precious...
What a powerful witness to our Lord and Savior. Your strength continues to amaze me. Thank you sharing your precious daughter with us. I continue to pray for your family.
Oh, Katie and Jason-my heart is broken for you guys. Kohen and I were just watching this sweet video, and he pointed the screen and said, "baby!" I'm so sorry were weren't there to celebrate Reese's life, but please know we are thinking of you guys constantly. Kyle said many times that he wished he could have a recording of your words from the funeral to share with his patients who are grieving. I know they were powerful, and Reese hit the jackpot when she got you and Jason as parents. We love you guys!
Thank you for sharing your story. I am praying in Indiana for your sweet family. May His peace cover you all during this difficult time and always.

Katie, thank you so much for sharing Reese with all of us. Her video is beautiful--SHE is beautiful. Seeing your faces just made me think, "THAT is what Christ's peace looks like shining through someone."
What an amazing video. You have a beautiful family. Your faith and strength amazes me. It really does. You are a beautiful woman, inside and out. Reese is such a beautiful baby. She is the arms of Jesus in a much better place. I am sure she is so proud of her mommy and daddy. I am continuing to pray for your family. My church family has been praying for you as well.
Beautiful, your story has touched me beyond belief. As I sit here with tears in my eyes wondering what to say to a complete stranger... I have this to say... Your faith in the lord is amazing... your strength is amazing, I admire you as a person and as a mother, and this bible verse comes to mind "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid" John 14:27
You are in our thoughts and prayers...
May God Bless You and keep you strong during this difficult time...
Beautiful video!!! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers daily!
Thank you for sharing Reese and God's Love for all of us. You exemplfy God's grace and love by sharing your tragic story. I will continue to pray for you and your family.
Amazing video! May God continue to grant you peace, love and hope. Reece and her story and your family's faith has already made an impact on more people than you will ever know including myself. Continuing to pray for you in the days ahead.
I love this video. I just can't help but cry. She is so beautiful. I can see your joy, your love and your grief in these pictures. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Katie. I'm so proud of you and your family. I know there have to be moments of tears, maybe even anger, but you are truly touching lives through the loss of Reese's life and that is amazing.

What a beautiful look at Reese's life! You all are such a testimony of God's grace and the hope we have in Him. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers. Reese certainly has incredible parents! You all are amazing!
What a beautiful video to remember Reese by. I am amazed by your strength. You are in my thoughts and prayers
What a beautiful collection of photos to cherish of her short life here on earth. I honestly don't know how anyone can deal with death if you don't have Jesus in your life. I will continue to lift your family in prayer.
I have just recently become a fellow blogger and I happened to stumble on your friend's blog, kellyskorner. I read your blog the other night when your sweet angel passed on. I wanted to jump through the screen and hold you. I too know what it is like to lose a precious gift from God. My sweet Lila Rae would have been 3 yrs old Sept. 13th. She was 6 weeks old when we gave her to God. I like to celebrate her heavenly birthday as well-October 26th. I don't know the details of Reese's illness but I am sooo very happy for you that you were able to get family pictures and dress her up. I too love the bows in their hair! I think its great that you have a little one because he will be a great source of therapy for you. I know thats were I still find comfort- in the arms and smiles of my babies. I would be honored if you would look at my blog theentyrefamily.blogspot I have a picture of my heavenly angel on there. May God's grace, mercy and peace continue to be with you.
I’m at loss for words but I just wanted you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Nothing I’m thinking of saying seems to be enough for something like this. Thank you for keeping us update as I know it must not be easy to do so.

A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

Just wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers...

You video is so precious. I am a nurse in a neonatal unit and your story has touched me deeply. I am so thankful that you know Jesus and that you will see your precious Reese again. I only know you through Kelly's blog, but I will be praying for you in the days to come.
Katie and Jason, as I reflect on the past couple of days I am so glad that we got to experience this time with yall. It has changed my life forever. Know that we are here whenever you need us.
Simply beautiful. Praise The Lord for the hope we have in Him alone.
Reese is one lucky girl to have parents like you.

Katie and Jason, I have followed your story for several months now after running across your blog. I knew Katie at ABHS many years ago and was friends with Mandy and Faber as well. What a testimony you both are and what a beautiful baby girl! I recently read in one of my parenting books a quote that said as parents we must give our chidren two things in life, roots and wings. You gave Reese roots and loved her unconditionally from the moment she was born. Now you have given her wings and she will be waiting for you in Heaven. God bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you and grant you peace. Hannah (Morse) Carrithers

How beautiful! I am sorry that I do not know the entire story, but I pray that you may get some answers to what happened to Reese to further give you peace. That video will be something to treasure forever, as well as the pictures that are in it. SO precious that you have them!
That video was gorgeous. What a beautiful family. The love that surrounded Reese was so evident. I am praying for you in the days that lie ahead. Though answers He does not impart, forever you can trust HIS heart.
I have not commented on your blog before. I have been praying for your family. That video was absolutely precious. Your daughter is beautiful. You will treasure those pictures. I am still praying for your family. My brother (40 years old) was killed in 2008 in a traffic accident. A young driver failed to yield properly at an intersection. We were heart broken. He left behind a wife and 3 children. Some things I just don't understand, God is so good all the time though. He carried us through.
Wow--what a great video to treasure forever! Thanks for sharing this with the blogging world. I am touched by your story and your faith. Know that I am praying for your family!
Lisa :)
Beautiful- all of it- your daughter, your family, your grace in the midst, our Savior.
I could not imagine having to say goodbye to my children. Its so wonderful that you have this video of Reeses short time here on earth...I watched it with tears rolling down my cheeks. Such a beautiful baby....My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family......
In all of the comments I keep seeing the word "beautiful". And that is just the prefect word to describe everything. The video, your faith and strength, but most of all Reese. She is beautiful! Thank you for sharing her beautiful life with us. We continue to pray for you.
Your faith and hope honors our Heavenly Father. May He surround you with His arms of love.
Katie, that is so, so, so beautiful! Precious family...we are praying for you.
What a beautiful tribute. I can only begin to imagine the pain you and your family must be feeling through all of this. Reese is absolutely beautiful!!! Such a precious angel. So so so sorry for your unfathomable loss. Praying for comfort and peace as you travel this very difficult journey. Your strength and your faith are amazing!
I cannot imagine the pain, but thank God for precious hope. Only by His grace. That was beautiful. Reese is beautiful.
Katie, as I lie here tonight watching this video, reading your words, I am humbled and encourgaed that if you can survive this, anyone can get through anything. You are such an inspiration and i know that even in Reese's short two days she knew how wonderful of a mother she has. My heart breaks everytime I think about the relationship that you're missing but I know you'll have that chance with her one glorious day. I hold Eva a little tighter at night and am more patient with her than ever before. This loss is so painful but I hope you come to feel the impact its had on all those who know and love you three dearly.
Hugs from the Whittakers!
Amanda
The video was beautiful! You are so blessed to have had the time you did with her and now to have the pictures to cherish forever. My second son was stillborn at 25 weeks and we spent 2 hours with him after he was born, but did not take any pictures. The only one we have is one the hospital took for us. That one picture is framed by my bed. That is one of my biggest regrets to not have many pictures of our sweet boy. Cherish those memories forever. Praying for your comfort and healing - Nicole
I don't even know you. I ran across this blog today -somehow. My day has been changed. I experinced emotion I just didn't know would cross my path today.You have a great gift, your little girl was conceived in love. You can see the true love in your countenance and your family- that is a great gift. I want you to know that families can be forever, eternally bound through the covenants that we can choose to make with our Heavenly Father through our Savior Jesus Christ. I don't know where you live or anything about you other than you have, and are enduring a great loss and you have such a strong belief and knowledge of our Savior. Thank you for sharing the video and such personal grief - it has touched my life. God Bless~Julie
That is precious. She is so beautiful, and looked so peaceful. You are so strong. My prayers are with you.
