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.

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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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
