Time is going so slow as if people are flying by us, but our world is standing still. The pain in our hearts burn and the tears flow freely like a never ending waterfall. Our eyes try to close as our bodies are fatigued, but our minds are racing with the thoughts of the memories we shared with Kayleigh through these past 11 months. Our souls are screaming with pain as this story was supposed to have a different, dream come true ending. We hold each other close, squeezing tightly, praying this sense of emptiness will fade away.
We never thought we'd finally leave the hospital one last time with an empty car seat and an empty crib to bring our precious daughter home in. The house is cold, it is dark and it is lonely. Our arms that once held this precious miracle will never hold her again anytime soon. We will lay our heads to rest tonight, we will soon wake, but we won't be returning to the hospital. We said our last goodbye only to say hello again one day in the distant future.
Kayleigh rests peacefully, in no more discomfort, and in no more pain. She looked so beautiful tonight as she took her last and final breath, and her beating heart took one last and final beat. Her sparkling brown eyes are now closed and her body now remains still. She is now in the presence of our Lord, her broken body made new, surrounded in the comforting arms of those we've loved who greeted her in the glorious Heaven we know.
Time now stands still for all of us who will miss her dearly, who have been touched by her miraculous journey, and who will never forget her soft sweet smell. Kayleigh will forever be our one pound miracle from God and we certainly will all look forward to seeing her again, holding her in our arms and dancing in circles until we can't dance anymore. No words can describe how amazing and beautiful Kayleigh is, but we all know too well that this is only goodbye, for now.
May this day be remembered for the rest of our lives. May Kayleigh's story continue to teach us about faith and the miracles our Lord can create when we all pray together as a whole. May Kayleigh's story continue to give us hope in our own personal journeys and give us the strength to never give up the fight. May Kayleigh's story continue to fill our hearts with love so that we may hold each other tight and support those in need.
When you tuck your children in bed or kiss your loved one goodnight, please say a prayer for our family. Please pray that we will have strength to get through this difficult time and we will grow in our faith so much more for having experienced the work of God through Kayleigh. Pray we will be there for each other and hold one another tight, as Kayleigh was and will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
We plan to have a memorial next weekend (most likely Sunday) for our sweet Kayleigh and EVERYONE who can come, is invited. We will be posting further details shortly so everyone has time to prepare. We will cry together, laugh together and remember what a precious blessing God has given us all through Kayleigh. May we come together and praise God for the love he has bestowed in all of us.
"Kayleigh, we know our life on earth is just a spec of time compared to the life we have in eternity with you and our Lord. We look forward to the day that we can pick you up and swing you around, dancing, singing and worshipping together. I am sure that your journey to Heaven was greeted with many open arms.
We are so very proud of you for everything you have done in such a short period of time. You've showed us what strength truly is, what determination truly is and what love truly is. There will not be a day that passes that we won't look at your photos and remember how awesome you felt in our arms. Your soft skin that brushes our lips and your tiny little hands that grip our fingers for comfort will always be missed.
We will never get to tuck you in your own bed at night and we will never get to pick you up when you fall. We will never get to hold your hand while you cross the street and I will never get to walk you down the aisle, but please know that your Mommy and I are so blessed that God gifted us with your love, even if it was only for a very short period of time. You will always be in our hearts and we can't wait until we meet again. We love you endlessly and we already miss you so very much! Goodbye Sweetheart...for now."
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
Our wishes were granted and Kayleigh finally felt the cool breeze on her face.
And we finally got to hold our precious miracle without anything attached.
Rest in peace our sweet Angel!
We love you so very much!

I am so, so sorry. I know your hearts feel broken. There are a lot of us who have lost our babies in 'blogland' and we really try to help and support each other. I know we would all do that for you guys as well.
Thank you for sharing Miss Kayleigh with us. I am just so sorry...

I am so sorry. Thank you for sharing Kayleigh's life with us. She has touched so many. I will never forget that sweet little face.
On May 11th at 9:44pm there was a great rejoicing in heaven as Baby Kayleigh entered. She was such a beautiful little baby girl. It hurts my heart to see her go, but I know now that she is free and hurts no more. And now she is just playing and happy and waiting for her mommy, daddy, brother, and sister to come and be with her one day. I hope I get the chance to meet her in heaven too. She has touched my life and made me look at it in a whole different way.
Thank you baby Kayleigh for being a miracle for me and for many others. I will miss seeing your sweet baby face, but I know that I will see you again one day and I can't wait to hug you too!
I love you all. I feel like you are a part of my family. Thank you so much for sharing this sweet miracle with everyone.
I love you guys and I love you baby Kayleigh!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Adam and Aimee,
This has been the post I was praying I would never have to see. My heart is broken and I ache for your family. I am thankful Kayleigh will no longer have to suffer any discomfort.
Kayleigh and your family have blessed me in so many ways and I will always carry Kayleigh in my heart. Thank you Kayleigh for making me a better person!
I pray that God will carry you through and help your family hold on tight to one another.
With much love,
Crystal
Love you Kayleigh!
I am ssending prayers for God's strength for all of you. You are an AMAZING family and are all very strong. You have been so blessed to spend the 11 months that Kayleigh was on earth to be her parents and to be able to hold and love her everyday. She is now with the Lord with no pain. Thank God for that!!! She looked like a Beautiful Angel in the pictures last night. Hold on to all of your wonderful memories with her.
God Bless all of you!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you this day and always.
Jaime from Idaho
Our family will continue to pray for yours, that you may find strength and peace knowing that Kayleigh's life has touched so many. Our hearts ache with yours at your loss. The stories you have shared have helped us through some tough times. She had a divine purpose on this earth, and will never be forgotten. May God bless you all.
Thank you for sharing Kayleigh with us. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Please know that many are lifting your family up in prayer as I type. God Bless you all. Peace be with you.
Beth Rodgers
I am so very sorry. I am praying for your family during this time.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the emotions you and your family must be experiencing now. Take comfort in thinking of a pain-free Kayleigh....now wrapped in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father.
Many prayers of strength and comfort for you at this time, Love & Peace.
Oh God... I am so very sorry. I don't know what to say... nothing will take your pain away... time will only help make it not hurt so much... I am so very sorry. I will never forget miss Kayleigh Anne, she's helped me be a more patient mom. I never got to meet her, but I love her. Never stop talking about her. God rest her beautifuly, perfect soul.
~AZ Mommy
God has reached out to me through Kayleigh and I want to utterly thank her for being a vessel for Christ as she has lifted my face heavenward. Sweet baby - may God lift you high in the air and spin you around and around with laughter. You have accomplished his mission. I pray that God holds your family tightly as their tears fall and fill them with the joy of being able to hold you again soon.
And if you could, give a hug to my little brother if you happen to see him around up there... You are always in my heart.
May God grant her peace and help you heal from such a loss. I know that you already know she is in heaven smiling down upon us all. We will all mourn the loss of her sweet presence on earth. She has taught us all so much, as have you as a strong family. So many hugs of comfort are coming your way. Thank you for sharing your story and pain. Let us celebrate her life and what she taught us, to never give up and always pray and trust in the Lord to show us the path.
My heart is filled with tears for you and your family!! Try to find comfort in knowing she is with Jesus now watching over you waiting for the day you will meet again. My thoughts and prayers are with you!!
Kim
Jesus i don't understand your ways. I don't even have the heart to ask why.
In the amazing way that only You can, Father surround the Freemans with the peace of your love and your truth. Protect them from any kind depression or defeat that may try to set in. May they stand victorious, knowing that you are the one who leads this battle.
Let them have some rest, and relief Lord. catch their tears.
Adam and Aimee, I cry with you as you say goodbye to your baby girl. We had to let our baby girl go on March 7th of this year. I know that losing a baby you never got to bring home is the absolutely most difficult thing. The tears, the empty hole in your heart, the longing to hold her again. Its all very real. And everything about "normal" life feels so shallow. The only comfort we find is in Christ, the Great Comforter. Knowing that Evelyn's - and Kayleigh's - lives had great purpose and that God has a wonderful plan for them to rule and reign with Him in eternity. Even though we only held them for a moment. I just wanted to tell you that I am grieving with you, you are not alone and many heartbroken parents have walked this path before us. As has God the Father when He watched His own Son die so we could live. What an amazing God we serve! He will turn our mourning into dancing...someday! Praying for you. Love, Steph Nelson
Amiee & Adam
I am so sorry. I pray to the Lord that he hold your hands as you strugle threw this hard time. But as your post says "Goodbye Sweetheart for now". I have been with you (so to speak) since the start. I have felt joy in the highs and sarrow in lows. I can't even try to think of what you are feeling. I pray for your family. As I lay my children down at night I think of your family. I will miss Kayleigh even tho I didn't meet her in person. Now we have a sweet angle in Heaven to watch over us. Your Angel will be with you no matter what. She is with the Lord and has lots of work to do up there with him. She did what she could down here with your here. Now she has to do it up there. Where she can do all the things that she couldn't do here on earth.
Love and Prayers

Oh, my heart aches for you all. I am so very sorry. Kayleigh is a miracle who did more good in her time on earth than most of us do in a lifetime. She touched the lives of so many people! To God be the Glory!
thank you for sharing her life with us!
praying for all!

I know Kayleigh is in the best place right now looking down on us, but I am still so very heartbroken. I love your little angel and she is forever etched in my life. May God watch over you and your family. My son and I will blow kisses to the sky tonight for her daily dose of xoxo from the us. Remember to always look up b/c Kayleigh is looking down on you! Warmest of Wishes from VA.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. We are all better for knowing Kayleigh. What a sweet angel. She feels no pain now and can grow and thrive with God.
May Kayleigh rest in peace and start a new journey with the Lord. I will continue to pray for you and your family during this time.

I am crying so hard for you as I hug my own baby so tight. Kayleigh has come to mean so much to my family and me, and renewed our faith in Him. We are sending all our thoughts to you and yours today and hope time will heal your hurt.

I am so sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! Your angel is now with my angel I lost a baby 4 years ago (Still born) I never got to meet her he name is Braylie Grace Butler.. Your baby was precious!
My heart hurts for your family. You will forever be in my prayers
My heart is breaking for your loss of sweet Kayleigh, yet rejoicing that she is in the arms of our Saviour. She is in the arms of the God that created her innermost being in your womb, and that knew every little piece of peach fuzz on her head. I can't imagine a world without Kayleigh. Yet I know Heaven has become even more perfect with her there, and I will one day get to see that beautiful face.
I will be praying for you guys more than ever. I am, again, so thankful you have shared your beautiful daughter with us and allowed us to witness God's miracle. And I will be praying for Brandon & Allyson- I can't imagine what they are going through as well. ((Hugs)) I am so so sorry.
I am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace knowing she is not in pain and is being held in Jesus's arms. My prayers are with you all.
We are sharing your pain. Kayleigh survived the pregnancy and spent 11 months on this earth for a reason. I know my faith is stronger and I hug my children and husband a little tighter since following her story from the beginning. Thank you for sharing your daughter with us
I am so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with your family. Now your little Angel in whole, pain free and watching down on you! Lots of Love and Prayers!
I cried reading this. I am so sorry that your little one has now become your little angel. I will praying for you all to find peace in this all. I love the pictures of you two holding Kayleigh without anything attached to her. I wish it could have been under different circumstances, but beautiful nonetheless. Treasure them always! God bless you!
I am so very very sorry for the loss that you have suffered. I know that you feel as if your hearts have been ripped out. I know that you are thinking of her as she is now, in heaven.
Take good care of yourselves at this time.
Here is a poem that I heard a preacher once quote:
Gone From My Sight
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"
May you find comfort in knowing that Kayleigh is in heaven being held by our Lord. And one day she will be saying "Here comes Mommy and Daddy!"
Goodbye sweet angel. I can't wait to meet you in heaven!!
God Bless Yall. I have been praying with out seasing, I hope that you can find peace knowing that Kayleigh is whole and perfect with out any more struggles or pain. I wish that I could give yall a huge hug and just tell you in person what a inspiration your words have been and helping me find my way back to church. May I have half the strength as you do and I will be super woman. I will contine to pray for all of you and just know that your BEAUTIFUL Kayleigh has touched more people that you can ever imagine. God sent here her for a reason, but the Heavens have rejoiced because there is another Beautiful angel up there with her golden wings.
Hugs and keeping praying from Florida,
Dana
My hearts go out to you for your families loss. Please be kind to yourself in the days and weeks to follow. God bless...
My heart broke this morning when I heard the news. Please know that your family is in my prayers. I know that Kayleigh is now "Playing In Heaven" with my son, Logan. I just thought I'd share a poem that I wrote after my son's passing. It gives me comfort to know that we will all be together again, but until that time. . .they are safe and happy and made whole in the arms of Jesus.
Playing In Heaven Instead by Jodi Glunt
You were the perfect little boy
Of whom we always dreamed.
Did you know we had your name picked out?
All along or so it seemed.
You even had your daddy’s hands
So miniature in size.
In life we never got to hold you
Or even see your opened eyes.
We had so many plans for you.
Did you know you are a twin?
I wanted you to grow up together.
What a pair you would have been!
I wanted to take you to the park
And push you on the swing.
I wanted to teach you how to walk,
And read and write and sing.
I wanted to show you a fire truck
And let you ride upon a horse.
I wanted to take you to the zoo
To see the giraffes, of course.
I wanted you to watch cartoons
And play video games with dad.
And you and I would take a nap
Oh, the times we would have had.
But, your mommy’s plans were not to be.
“I have other plans,” God said.
“You won't be playing in life’s playground
You’ll be playing in heaven instead.”
And although I ache with sadness
And in my arms I long to hold.
I’ll see you again in heaven
When my story on earth’s been told.
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for your family. Know that Kayleigh is smiling down on you today, her body and mind healed with God's love. She is so loved and she knows how proud the world is of her strength. She is truly an angel and I envision Kayleigh looking down upon all the babies in the world that are born too early, healing them from above.
I've mentioned before that my premature son was born the same day as little Kayleigh. This year on June 23rd, as we celebrate Isaac's first birthday and every year after, we will also be celebrating Kayleigh's life and saying a prayer of peace for your family.
I pray today that God is with Kayleigh, welcoming her with loving arms and I pray that God be with your family to give you peace and strength as you must let your precious child into His hands.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures. I really loved the one with the wind and sun on her face...it was almost as if God was shining down on her, letting her know that it was almost time to be Healed.
There are no words just many prayers
Words fail me at this moment. Hold on to Jesus, cry out to Jesus. He will sustain you all. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I will continue to hold you and your family in my thoughts.
Kayleigh's story has truely touched my heart. May you find comfort in the Lord as He watches her dance with the angels. Many prayers to you all
It is a happy day in heaven today! They have one more beautiful angel! Our loss is their gain.
May you feel God's loving hand comfort you now and always.
There are no words to comfort you now. I wish I knew what to say. How sad I am for your loss. I prayed over and over for a miracle. Kayleigh has touched our lives she will always be remembered. I continue to pray for your family during this difficult time

I cannot say anything to you that will give you Kayleigh back but I can pray and wish peace for you and your sweet family.

Dear Aimee and Adam:
Kayleighs Journey on earth was an inspiration. She was taken away only to be born again without any pain. I shall miss her for sure.
Tears rolled down my cheeks and unknown emotions for a little baby whom I have never met and lives so far away from home sprang up. So I am lost of words on how to console her dear parents who have lost their little one. I have two kids of my own and just cannot fathom the thought of losing a baby. Hope the Divine heals ur heart and brings in new happiness for you which will twofold what Kayleigh gave and will be giving for the rest of your lives.
wishing you the best as always
-Samata Gandhi
my heart is just broken for your family and the things you will not get to do with Kayleigh...Find comfort in the knowledge that she is in a better place - although that wont stop the ache of your empty arms. Kayleigh will not be forgotten. she is a miracle irregardless of the outcome and she is going to give other parents / parents to be hope when doctors may not have. Know that people everywhere are praying for you ...
I'm so, so sorry to read this news. My heart breaks for you two and your family.
I wish I had words of wisdom, but words escape me. Babies are not supposed to die after all.
I am glad you got to have her outside in the breeze if not at home. And no tubes, what a blessing as well.
You are in my thoughts.
My prayers and thoughts are with you all. I am so sorry. You two are absolutely amazing!
Prayers from New Mexico
I am sorry to hear about Kayleigh. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless!
There are no words to say. I could never understand what you're feeling right now. Your angel touched so many lives- including mine- and I will never forget her or your family. You are strong, wonderful people, and I pray that God will bless you richly. God bless you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been praying so hard that you would be able to take your beautiful daughter home to her beautiful room but now she is home with no pain and suffering. What a precious angel! My heart is just aching for you guys! I pray that God would give you peace and comfort knowing that she is in such a better place.

I have been following your story for some time now, and my eyes filled with tears as I read about sweet Kayleigh's passing.

Only tears tonight. I am so sorry.
I have no words of comfort. I have nothing that will help and for that I just feel complete hopelessness.
These last photo's are truly so full of love, I can barely see them through my tears.
Thank you for sharing your story.
My love and deep prayers for you all.

Fly with the angels sweet Kayleigh... I am weeping for your family. It is not fair that you are gone. But I am a better person, and better Christian for knowing you. Beautiful girl, you touched my life. I am so so glad you are now whole in Heaven with our creator. I will never forget you.
From Caitlin and Amira (my preemie) in Australia.
I had hoped and prayed that this day would never come. I am so sorry for all the pain your family must be experiencing right now. Kayleigh has truly touched my heart and those with whom I have shared her story. God Bless you.

Sweet Kayleigh,
I just discovered your site a few short weeks ago, and like so many before me, I was moved beyond words by your incredible story.
May your family be comforted in knowing that you
are in our Savior's loving arms and in the assurance that one day you will all be reunited!
Bless you Kayleigh and your precious family!
Words escape me.........Kayleigh is now a beautiful angel with no pain, running, laughing, and playing in heaven. I know she will continue to look down and watch over all of you.....she truely is an angel. Thank you for sharing her with us and allowing her to touch so many people in such a special way. God Bless you!
I am crying as I read this. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that Jesus bring you and your family peace this week. God bless little Kayleigh.

My heart is breaking today and I read this and the tears fall. Thank you for sharing your journey of love, faith and hope.
I cannot wait for the day we all get to meet Kayleigh in heaven! We love you sweet baby girl!
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find strength and comfort in knowing that Kayleigh is in her Father's arms and that you will hold her again one day.
I am so sad and was hoping this day would not come. My heart goes out to you. I never got to meet the little angel but Kayleigh and your entire family have touched my hearts in a way I cannot put into words.
I don't know the right words to say, but please know that I will be praying for your family. I hope you can find comfort knowing that Kayleigh is safe and happy in the loving arms of God.
God Bless your family.
Our Lord will comfort you and protect you and your family always. Love and prayers.
We love you all, and pray for your peace through this. I can't wait to meet you all- especially Kayleigh- in Heaven someday.
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.[a]
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
I don't think there is anything I can say that wouldn't sound trite and words somehow feel hollow as they don't really explain.
I have not walked the path your family has been on. Part of me wishes I could have walked it for you so you weren't the ones in pain, missing your precious Kayleigh.
Praying for you and your family.
With much love from Scotland,
Laura Anne
We will be thinking of your family through all of this and know that now HE now carries her!!

i am speechless heartbroken and so sorry this morning. kayleigh will always be loved and never forgotten. i am so sorry that she was not able to come home as planned. i will pray for your whole family. Rest in Peace sweet Kayleigh. fly high on angel's wings you precious little one. you will ALWAYS be close in my heart. (((hugs)) to everyone.
As someone else wrote, there are no words.
We will be praying for you.
She looked so relieved... so beautiful and precious without anything attached but her Mommy and Daddy's arms.
God bless you.
I sent a prayer request to our local christian radio station in Houston, TX. The DJ e-mailed me back and they will probably announce it on the air and ask everyone to pray. KSBJ is HUGE so there will be lots of people praying for you.
I hope that in some way you will feel God with you today in the midst of this tragedy.
Please feel loved.
I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words to console your sorrow. Just knowing what an impact your "1 pound miracle" made here on earth is amazing! She will now sing in heaven and rejoice in being healed. Bless you all for sharing your story and hoping you can find peace in these difficult days. I typed this with blurry eyes and tear stained cheeks.
I am heartbroken... crying here at work. I have followed your story since Aimee was on BBC during her pregnancy, so for a year now. I have grown to love little Kayleigh, and I must admit that I was so angry at the doctors after this final surgery, because she was doing so well...how dare they have done this. But I know it must have been part of the plan, and as much as it breaks my heart, I know she is in a better place. I feel like I have lost a loved one, and in a way I have. For I have rooted for your little miracle from before she was even born. May God comfort you during this time. You have all of my prayers and love, as does Kayleigh.
Our sweet baby Kayleigh, now our sweet angel. She will always look down on your family and bless you w/ every sunshine, every rainbow, every breeze you feel on your face. She will forever be perfect and whole such a sweet angel. My heart is breaking for your family, but they are rejoicing in Heaven. For she is perfect!!! God bless you!!! I can't as a parent imaging what you are going through. But I continue to pray for your family. You have strength that only comes from Jesus. God bless!!!
My eyes clouded with tears as I read the title of this post. I was sobbing before I even made it through thr first paragraph. Kayleigh touched my heart in a way that I will never be able to describe. I am saddened by the loss of such a sweet, strong, beautiful baby girl. I pray that your family has the strength to endure these next few days. I will miss her, but I know that you will miss her so much more. Fly away Kayleigh, for you are healthy and whole in the arms of the angels now!
Kaleena in Tennessee
I am so,so, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby. She will forever remain in the hearts of many.....such a loss, and I am so sad for you all.
Many tears are being shed across the globe for all of you. We share in your sadness, but also in the joyous hope of everlasting life.
May you feel God's presence ever near as you face this life without your beautiful little daughter.

I am so sorry! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Kayleigh is now a beautiful angel being taken care of by our Heavenly Father.
She has touched so many lives...She will never be forgotten!
I truly can not believe this day has come. I wanted so very badly to meet this precious angel one day, and now that day will happen in the grace of our Lord. I will wait anxiously until that day. Know that Kayleigh and your whole family is deeply loved and will NEVER be forgottn. I will continue to pray for your family.
God Bless...
I am so sorry for your loss.I am praying for your family.
We feel so sad for your family. You have touched many lives through Kayleigh. May God give peace. Thank you for sharing your story.
Adam & Aimee,
I am so sad that this day has come. Kayleigh is an amazing little girl who is loved by many and will never be forgotten. Her story has made me appreciate my children and family so much more. Thank you dearly for sharing your precious angel with us. I am truly sorry for your loss and will continue to pray for your family.
Love,
Kirsten
My heart aches for your family. Thank you for sharing your story of your precious little girl. She is an example to all. Your faith in God is amazing. May you feel his love surrounding you. PRaying for you and your family.
My heart is bleeding for your family. I can't imagine what you are feeling right now but I know your faith in God will carry you through it. Bless your family. Know that Kayleigh will be forever in your hearts and will always be with you. Good bye for now sweet Kayleigh.
Our hearts are breaking for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord comfort you during this time and in the future.
Dear Aimee & Adam,
You have never meet me but,I found your blog by accident and when I did, I was hooked!! The day I found you was the day of Kayleigh's last surgery. I smiled and cried both at the same time as I watch both of you nuture your little girl and witnessed the love you shared for her in your video.
When the news came in she was brain dead, I was devastated yet, when I read your words, I was at peace. I sat here and I read your blog in awe! Your strength, your courage, your faith....it humbled me!
Too be honest, the last thing I excepted to read this morning was that Kayleigh had passed. I sit here with tears streaming down my face, trying to see the screen through teared filled eyes. I prayed so hard for Kayleigh's health to improve, or at the very least for your wish to be granted by Kayleigh being able to go home.
Today, I am devastated. I have never met Kayleigh yet, I am filled with despair over her loss. I cannot imagine how you and Aimee must feel- all you are going through. However, I must say, seeing the photo's of you both holding your baby so close brought me a sense of solace and made me smile. I am so glad you were given those moments with her.
I know Aimee & Adam, there are no words to comfort you. Saying I'm sorry just doesn't seem like it's enough! I know you wanted her home and I so wanted that for you yet, I do know every single time you went to be with Kayleigh, you were bringing "home" to her. I am sure Kayleigh is rejoicing in Heaven, playing with many other little Angels, shinning down upon you. She knew you loved her, you could see it in her smile.
Today, I pray for you. I pray you both will get through this period with strength and faith. I pray for your children...that the hurt they feel will slowly disappear but the memory for their sister never will.
Lastly, I wanted to thank you Adam for your Blog. For sharing your beautiful daughter with the world. Kayleigh brought me joy and hope - knowing her, even just through your words and pictures have made all of us wh have had the honour of being apart of this Blog, a better person. Kayleigh will never be forgotten.
Although I live in Canada, I want you to know, if there is ANYTHING I can do for you, please just e-mail me...even if you just need an ear.
May God hold you tight within his arms and comfort you during this most profound time in your life.
God Bless you Adam and Aimee.
Sincerely from Canada,
Your "Stanger Friend",
Jenn
I'm so so so very sorry for your loss. Words fail. I will most certainly be praying for you.
Jesus - Please give this family peace and comfort... let them feel your touch. Guide them in the following weeks, months and years. Take their grief and replace it with hope and a future... for I know the plans you have for them... to give them hope and a future. Bless this family and ease their suffering. Amen.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May you find peace and comfort in the support from strangers who are touched by your story.
I will hold my little girl closer tonight because of Kayleigh's story. She has done so much in her life that was so unfairly cut short. It's so hard to understand why these things happen.
I pray you find the strength to move forward and find happiness.
With love from Philadelphia -
God bless your family. My heart breaks for you! LOL from Mooreville!
May God bless you and your family during this time. Kayleigh definitely touched many people's lives and she truly is a miracle. As I lay my little girl down to sleep tonight we will continue to pray for her and your family. Your attitudes about life continue to inspire me everyday. May God grant you peace and understanding.
Rest in peace sweet Kayleigh. I will be praying for all of you in these days to come.
I'm so sorry for your loss of your precious Kayleigh. We will be praying for your family.
Words cannot express how I am feeling. I know in my heart that she is in a better place, whole and free from pain, but I am deeply deeply saddened and don't understand why this had to happen.
Please know that I am praying for your family, and some how you will get through this. Just take things one minute at a time!
Kayleigh thank you for all the you have given me in your short 11 months with all of us! You have helped to renew my faith in God and are a true miracle. You are going to be dearly missed by thousands of people! I hope you and my sweet baby Jayce are playing with all the other angel babies.
Most people only get to dream of angels.............we were blessed to have held one!
Lot of tears and ((hugs))to you~
Laurie in SD
Sweet Kayleigh will be dearly missed and will always be in my heart. I am so very sorry. I know you weren't ready to say goodbye yet.... neither was I. I hope you find the strength to get through this trying time. Your little angel finally has her wings.
Praying for your dear family. Kayleigh was truly a miracle and one of Jesus' precious lambs. Rejoicing today that she rests in the perfect arms of her Savior. May you find comfort in Him.
i can't believe she's gone. i'm sorry you guys are going through this... i was praying so hard that God would give you - and all of us - another miracle.
your sweet, precious daughter has touched thousands, if not millions. that can never be taken away, even though the ending isn't what any of us wanted or expected.
thank you for sharing your girl with us. we'll be praying you through this most difficult of times.

My heart breaks for you! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
With tear filled eyes, I read and cried along with you every step of the way with you on this journey. Now again, I sit crying as the journey here on earth has come to an end. I'm so sorry that it ended this way even though we know God knew all along exactly how this would end. Til we all get to meet sweet Kayleigh in Heaven, my prayers are with you and your family.
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
My heart is breaking for you, and my prayers are with you.
Suzanne
Prayers for you all from over here. I am so sorry for this great loss. Be gentle with yourselves.
Kayleigh got her miracle, she has been healed. As wonderful as that is for her, it's so incredibly difficult for us here on Earth still waiting for our turn, waiting for that special day and time that the Lord above has designated for us to be healed as well.
My prayers are with you and your children as you now begin a new chapter in life.
God's blessings on each of you.

I've been following Kayleigh's story for so long and you have all been in my prayers. I will continue to pray that God will give you the strength you need and rely on him. Phillipians 4:13

Aimee and Adam,
We are so very sorry. We can't even imagine the pain your entire family is going through right now and for the rest of your lives. You will always be in our prayers.
All of your pictures are priceless and hopefully that will give you some peace as time passes down the road.

Kaleigh and Family,
I've never met you but I feel like you are such a huge part of my life. Kayleigh's miracle story has touched my heart like no other. She was a fighter. She tried so hard but she was so tired. Her poor little heart just couldn't go any further. My heart is deeply saddened by the loss of Kayleigh. She is a precious angel and she has gone to join all of the other precious angels in heaven. Dad and Mom, she will be awaiting patiently for your reunion with her. I pray for you to have strength to get through this difficult time. Be sure you love the two children you have and love each other like tomorrow is not an option. I will forever be touched by Kayleigh and I am so very thankful that you shared her story with me.
Rest in peace beautiful Kayleigh.
Tiffany Lockette
I mourn for her earthly passing, but I rejoice that she is made whole today. Your family is in my heart and prayers. May God's peace grow within you as you miss Kayleigh Anne daily. Thank you for sharing your story with us and letting us pray with you. You are loved and thought of by many.
I can not express how sorry I am for your loss. I have been following you for quite a few months now and Kayleigh was so sweet. I had prayed that God would allow you to take her home before she died, but he had other plans for her. My heart is broken for you from one mother to another! We need to remember that God does not give anything we can't handle and Kayleigh has touched the lives of thousands!
May God give you strength and lift your spirits. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Your little angel is now an angel for us all.
I am so sorry for your loss. Kaleigh has touched so many people's lives in her short time.
You will all be in my prayers.
With tear stained cheeks, I thank the lord for the opportunity that I have had to come to know of Kayleigh, Aimee and You! We may never meet, but we will forever be linked through the life of your sweet baby girl! She has touched my life and so many others! She has blessed us all with her strength! My she dance with the others who have passed to soon as they wait for our reunion!
My heart is full of gratitude for the blessings I have!
My prayers are with you all this day as you start down this next path and readjust to this part of your lives. Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures!
I am so sorry your loss! May god hold you at this time!
Aimme and Adam -
Words can not express the sorrow you must feel. Kayleigh was such a beautiful baby and taught me about faith and perseverance. I hope time heals all wounds. God bless all of you. Kayleigh is saving you all a place in heaven.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May God's arms wrap around you and bring you comfort in this time of grief.
My heart is breaking for you today. Thank you for sharing Kayleigh's life with all of us. May God be with you and your family as you await your reunion. And although your arms are empty, please take comfort in the faith that she is whole and well in God's arms.
I am so sorry for your loss. I too never thought this would happen. I thought she would be able to go home with you all. You are both so very strong. Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone. Take care and hug your family really close as you will definitely need that.
You're in my prayers...
Peace baby girl. You are such a miracle with a miracle mommy, daddy, brother, sister, friends, grandparents, and so much more. There is a silly place called Blogland that has fallen in love with you too. Thank you for all of the sweet reminders to squeeze my two babies. Your life has been short, but oh-so miraculous!
Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.
Our prayers are with you, now and always.
My heart breaks for you both. May God's Peace be with you today and always.
I am so sorry about your loss. We all love your Sweet Baby Kayleigh and are going to miss her. I pray that you have the stength to make it through this very difficult time.
You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry. May HE hold you and comfort you during this time. Prayers will continue for your family. Thank you for sharing Kayleigh's life and this journey with us.
My heart is breaking as tears fill my eyes. I may have never known your precious baby girl but she had a huge impact on my life. May God hold you close. God bless you sweet Kayleigh!
Wow. My day just started and is officially ruined as I sit here crying. I really didn't think I would ever be reading this. She was such a fighter. I am so heartbroken for you both and your family. I have been reading since shortly after her birth and have gotten quite attached to seeing updates and Kayleigh in all her cuteness. I feel like I've lost one of my own. I am so sorry. There are no other words. Will be praying for peace and comfort.
My heart deeply aches for you and I will be lifting your family up to the Lord! May He comfort you as only He can!
May God Be with Precious Kayleigh and her ever so Loving Family...What a true blessing she is as she has touched so many hearts so deeply!!! Patty in Central California
Oh Sweet Jesus....please be near this family today and forever. Send your peace on wings of a dove to be with them through this difficult time.
God Bless you Aimee and Adam!
I have been following your story with your precious daughter!! I am so sorry, no words to explain any further!!
Praying for all of you. What a sad yet glorious ending to her precious little life. So glad she is happy with Jesus but so sad for the emptiness you feel. Holding you up in prayer.

Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration to everyone that reads your blog. Rest in peace little girl. and may your guys' hearts rest in peace as well.
I wish my deepest sympathy in the loss of your sweet daughter, sweet sister and grandaughter. Kayleigh has left an amazing light to shine on, she left footprints of love in all who came to know her.
I am a better mom because I had a small window into your family, your love for your daughter.
I am the mommy to 3 miracle children, all 3 whom were in the NICU. The emotions you shared during your journey, your honesty and love spoke to the emotions I felt while my sweet kids were hospitalized. Thank you for sharing your journey and love for your miracle.
Kayleigh was a beautiful girl and I can only imagine how amazing she must look in heaven.
Prayers and appreciation for letting us share in your daughter's life.
I can not even imagine what you are going through. I offer you all my prayers and love during this time. Your grace and strength is truly inspiring.

-Crystal in ME
I've only been following you for a month, but that fact has not impeded the tears that are falling right now for you.
It's not fair in so many ways - not fair that her life took this turn, not fair that you will have to live life without her.
In a different (good) kind of not fair, it was actually not fair, but God's wonderful grace to give her to you, and it honors Him that you have seen that and loved her so fully during the time that you had her here for your arms. That godliness of giving your love was a blessing to Kayleigh and to God, too.
Thank you for letting us watch you live that out.
The truth, that I'm sorry you're living through this loss, seems so small when I pull it out of my heart to cram into words.
I am so, so sorry for you guys. She was so beautiful and such a fighter. I am speechless...I will be praying...
I'm so sorry for you guys. Kayleigh is in Heaven now looking at you guys. You're such strong parents for her and your other kids. God be with you and give you strength. We will continue to pray for all of you.
I am so very sorry. Know that we are lifting you up in prayer. For peace, for comfort. And also rejoicing that Kayleigh is with her Jesus today. No more pain for that sweet girl.
My heart aches for you and your family, I know there is comfort in the fact that Kayleigh is with our maker now and without pain, but this still does not help the hurt in my heart for you! All of my prayers, love, and strength to you today as you continue to put one foot in front of the other to make it through these next few days, weeks, and years. God bless
My heart is broken, I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Im sitting here with tears running down my face.
She is a beautiful angel.
My heart is broken for you. I know so well how hard it is to say goodbye to a sweet daughter, but taking comfort in the knowledge that it is only for now, not for forever. May the Savior take you in His arms at this difficult time. He is crying with you in your pain, but He is holding sweet Kayleigh close.
(hugs)
My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your beautiful family at this tough time. Your precious daughter is among her heveanly family now awaiting a glorious reunion...Until then, she is free of wires and machines and smiling with loved ones gone before her who will watch over her until the perfect time for you to all meet again....
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know Kayleigh was a precious gift from God. May God bless you & your family.
From Mississippi we pray!
May the Lord give your family peace during this very difficult time in your lives. This is something no parent should have to endure. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless
Another angel in heaven, my heart breaks for your family. Know you are in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been reading your blog awhile but have not left a comment until today. I am saddened yet rejoice with you in that you will see her in heaven one day.

Adam and Aimee,
My heart broke this morning when I opened your blog and read your news. I am connected through you from Christ, and in that comfort I know that God is holding your sweet angel in his hands. What an amazing testimony sweet Kayleigh has been!! May you find comfort in Christ in these next few weeks! Praying for you!! Prayers from Canada, Jolene
I just heard of Kayleigh about a month ago and have been following since. I am heartbroken for you all. I hope that God provides a peaceful path of healing for your family. I will give my son extra loves tonight, and every night, in honor of Kayleigh.
God Bless,
Lynsey
