The true meaning

I have debated about doing this post or not and decided my family needs all of the prayers right now that we can get so here goes. Unfortunately, our Easter didn't turn out how we had all planned, we were taught the true meaning of Easter today in a very real way. My sweet nephew Daxton, who is my sister and brother-in-law's baby (Michelle and Matt), was accidentally backed over today and was instantly killed. It has been a very hard day for our family and we are all grasping for comfort and the knowledge that we will get to see him someday. Please keep his parents and our family in your prayers. We love you so much Matt, Michelle, and Daxton!!

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry! Mandy and I were supposed to get together tomorrow, but I received an e-mail this morning asking if we could reschedule because her nephew had died. I thought I would check here to see if maybe I read something wrong, but sadly, this was not the case. I am so sorry for your family's loss! I can only imagine how hard this is for all of you. My heart aches for the emotions you are all feeling now. You will all be in our prayers.

I am very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what your family is going through. It must be really hard. Every time I just think of it, I want to cry! A mother should never have to go through that. Please let me know if you need anything or need help with your boys!! You and your family are in our prayers. We love you guys!

What a very special boy he was. He's test is over and he is back with his Heavenly Father. However, even having this reassuring knowledge it doesn't take away the heart-aching pain. I'm so sorry. I also keep you and your family in my prayers.

I came across your blog through a comment you left on a friend's of mine. I live in the same community as your sister and brother-in-law and I assure you that everyone is deeply saddened by what happened. But know that your family is in everyone's prayers. The ward your sister is in is so fantastic and supportive and will hopefully be a blessing to your sister and her husband.

Heid, I haven't been checking online for a bit but my mom told me the sad news tonight. I am so sorry to hear. I started crying when she told me because he's one month younger than my Katelyn. My heart goes out to Michelle and the rest of your family. I can't imagine trying to understand this without having the perspective from the church. Love ya, Stace
