As we finished up preparations for the memorial, we wanted to make everyone aware of a couple things. First off, please take photos of you all releasing the pink balloons with Kayleigh's note(see previous post) attached on Sunday at 4:00pm (EST). I would like to do a new post next week and show all the photos.
Also, a good friend, Niecey, did one incredible job of creating a video for us for the memorial. It has a lot of new photos, including the professional photos from "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" and 3 songs that just seemed to be perfect for Kayleigh. Of course, you know one of them ;) I really can't wait to show you the video.
Tomorrow is the big day and my goodness has this week has flown by. Even though everything we prepared is ready, we are not. We barely got a chance at all this week to just lay there, cry our eyes out and miss her. All next week, we will be packing and heading off to the new house. By the way, the bank didn't want to return phone calls to settle things up and decided to sell the property. I guess it was God's way of showing we needed to be out of the house. So once we are done moving, I am sure it is just going to hit us hard like a ton of bricks that she's gone.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers through this. I look forward to meeting a lot of you tomorrow at the memorial and for those who can't make it, we will be sure to recap it all in a post, so you feel as if you were here. Thank you so much for being awesome friends to our family.
A lot of our strength comes from the Lord, but a big chunk of it comes from your support. Every single one of you are family to us and we love you!
God Bless,

Definately will be praying for you tomorrow and always!
You guys have been in my thoughts all week and will continue to be. I think you should post the bank's website and let your readers give their 2 cents to this bank. The only word I can come up with for them is heartless, do they not have any sympathy at all for a family going through hell? I can tell you they would lose a lot of customers if they knew what kind of bank they were dealing with. My heart is with you guys tomorrow as you take this next step. {{{HUGS}}}
Thank you for sharing all of this with all of us...it has to be so difficult for you right now but we are with you in spirit! Take care and I'll be thinking and praying about you tomorrow...
Praying for strength for your family tomorrow. I so wish I could be there! But I look forward to reading all about it. Your faith is such an encouragement!
Love in Christ,
Jennifer
What do you think about doing a balloon count to see how many were released in her memory... that would be incredible to see:0)
Love and light,
Shanna
So sorry to hear about Kayleigh's passing. I just can't even imagine.
I wish so much that I could be at Kayleigh's service. Just to have the chance to meet you two and say goodbye to her. I am due to have a baby anyday now, so if I am not in labor tomorrow I do plan on remembering her! We may not get a chance to release balloons, but she and your family will be in my prayers!
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow... it is going to be a tough day for you and it might hit you like a ton of bricks tomorrow but I know you both will be strong for each other and you will get through this, Just remember you are NOT saying good-bye to kayleigh just a sweet until we meet again....
Sorry to hear about the house BUT maybe it is for the best look at it as god's will, to move and not have the constant empty room you had all set up for Kayleigh so maybe this will be a great thing for you all.
Lots of love
Chrissy
We are praying for you. You are such a strong and awesome family, and I am sorry for your loss. It is hard to understand sometimes, but we know God's will is always good...in the end. You mansions will be many, as sad as the earthly loss of Kayleigh is, I can't help but to have a smile when I think of her in the arms of our Lord and Savior. We love you and continue to pray.
The McGuire Family

Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Kayleigh has touched us all....
Praying for God to pour out an extra measure of His peace and comfort on you during this time. Linda
I'm so sorry for your loss, I've been following Kayleigh's story since I found out I was pregnant in September and my daughter was just born 2 weeks ago. I plan on putting a picture of Kayleigh in her nursery so she can see an true angel on Earth♥ God bless you and your family
Thinking of you all as you get ready for tomorrow. I am sorry to hear about your home, but perhaps that is what God thinks is best. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your sweet little girl touched so many hearts and lives and I am sure you know by now that you all are thought of often.
Hugs from Ohio,
Lisa
I wanted to add that I know that one of the the hardest times of dealing with the loss of a loved one is during and after the memorial. I think God put something extra (the move) in your life as a blessing in disguise, to help you through this time. I will pray extra hard for the weeks after your move, for they will most likely be the hardest. We will continue the road with you, we will be here for you as time goes on. We love you and may God be with you. I so wish we could be there in person to hug you and shake your hands...How awesome it would be to meet the very people God chose to bring Kayleigh into this world...maybe someday we can meet here on earth...if not, we will all meet someday in heaven.
I will be thinking and praying for ALL of you and a pink ballon will be flying from IL. God Bless you and Kayleigh, please tell my big brother I cannot wait for the day to finally meet him.
I am so unbelievably sorry , My family and I are sending you so many prayers to continue to have strength as you grieve for your angle .
God bless you. My heart is broken for you.
We are still praying for you guys! Good luck with your move. I will be thinking of you guys tomorrow!
Still praying in Mesa, AZ
My prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time.
My prayers are with you and your family at this time. Although I can not be at the memorial my children and I will be sending off balloons in Kayleigh's honor.

Thank you for sharing your story with the world. My prayers will be with all day tomorrow
Will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.

I will be praying so much for you tomorrow, especially as you are going through the exhaustion of moving/packing/sorting, etc on top of this.
Because of distance I won't be at the service, but my thoughts (or prayers) have not been far from you.
May you feel the peace and strenght of God in the days and weeks ahead. Hang in there!
My family and I will be thinking and praying for you and your family. May Kayleigh rest in Gods arms, and watch upon her wonderful family. There is no mistaking she has been such a blessed gift from God, to you, as well as to all of us who have been a part of her life.
May God bless you with a sunny day to honour the little ray of sunshine who is now in heaven.
Will be thinking of you here in Weatherford Texas.

My prayers will continue for your family. May you be at peace knowing Kayleigh is in the presence of our God. God bless.
Your family has been in our thoughts and prayers all week! We wish we could make the 8 hour trip, but Aidan has been sick all week. We will be crying tears of sadness while rejoicing in Keyleigh's homecoming together with you tomorrow. Sending you our love and hugs!!
Still in my thoughts and prayers! I miss seeing Kayleigh's sweet face. Praying for peace, comfort, and strength in the coming weeks and months.
With Love,

You all are just so sweet. Some of my family lives in Charlotte & I will be there on Monday. I'll be thinking & praying for ya'll tomorrow. Your family is very loved!!
I am sorry that you guys had to move ontop of all of this. Where you guys able to get another place, or are you still moving in with Adams parents? God Bless you tomarrow, I will be thinking of you.
I pray that God will continue to give all of you the strength you need to make it through this season of life. What a comfort to know that God has used your tiny miracle for such good all around you. May you continue to feel the peace around you. Though I can't be at the memorial, I will be sending off a balloon. Now to just convince my kiddo to take some pics since hubby will be working. Many prayers.
I have been reading your blog for a couple of weeks now, and you have touched my heart more than you could know. Sweet Kayleigh and your family are in my prayers. God bless.

Adam & Aimee:
You guys are so great....keep your faith and hold each other tight!
We will be thinking of you tomorrow and also of Sweet Kayleigh and how she is dancing in heaven.
I'm sorry things didn't work out for you guys to keep the house but I know God will provide and it means something better is waiting for you guys!
God Bless your Sweet Family....
We LOVE YOU TOO! And we will always be here for your family!
Sending love and prayers your way, knowing the weeks ahead will be the hardest! Just remember God is always there even when it doesn't feel like it, and sometimes it won't.
We are praying for strength for your family! My kids asked if we were going to the memorial, as we would love to, we live in Texas, so it just isn't possible. We will be there in spirit. I pray everyhting works out even better with the new house! May God Bless you all! :)
You all will be in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow. May God bless your family during this extremely difficult time. Kayleigh Anne Freeman has touched so many people throughout this journey. There's no doubt that God worked and will continue to work through Kayleigh's story. Although we don't know you guys on a personal level, we feel like you're part of our family. We love you all!
The Mentels

I continue to pray for you! You all will be in my thoughts tomorrow and I plan on sending off some pink balloons in the Heavens for Kayleigh! I hope as hard as tomorrow is going to be, that there is a celebration of life!
God Bless you Freemans. I will be thinking of you guys and Kayleigh tomorrow. I am not there in person but I will be there with all of you in spirit and praying for you guys.
Although I am absolutely devastated for your family, I find comfort in the strength and faith you've shown these past 11 months. It takes a lot of courage to share every intimate detail of your experience with strangers...but I do feel that although you don't know me, I have grown to love your family and share in your sympathy. I will not be able to attend Kayleigh's memorial tomorrow but will be releasing balloons in her honor. God Bless you Freeman's. :)
God Bless You Freeman family!!
We love you Kayleigh!! You will forever be in our hearts!!

Love, Michelle
God bless you today and tomorrow - I'll be praying for you. I pray that you have a good week following and that you grieve as you need to. I'm sorry to hear about the house ...
I pray that you feel the IMMENSE comfort of the Lord and I'm sure that Kayleigh is looking over the balcony of heaven and loving you as only she can.
I'm very sorry ... God will shine on you and give you peace in the midst of this storm.
I am so sorry for your loss. I watched you on TV and just prayed for you and Kayleigh...not knowing that she had already passed. I followed you through this journey not ever really commenting, but praying and crying. You have an amazing family and Kayleight will be your angel protecting you. She is no longer in pain. Rest in Peace little girl...she is beautiful. I will still be praying for your family. Hang in there.
Hi Adam,
We have never met, I live in Canada yet, for some reason, it seems like I DO know you! I have read your blog for a while now and have posted ever so often to let you know, I'm here. I have smiled, cried, hoped, worried, and prayed for your family and still continue to do so today.
I have watched every video you have posted and looked at every picture. I feel so sad I never got to really know Kayleigh, I never got to meet her or hold her but I can tell you Adam, even though I am a stranger friend, and even though I live so far away from you, I feel like I have fallen in love with this perfect baby girl of yours (the video of her smiling at your voice sealed the deal! :)).
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your Blogs, for sharing your daughter and her journey with us and for your constant updates. I wanted you and Aimee to know, although I can't be at the memorial tomorrow, you will all be in my thoughts and I will continue to pray for you during this most difficult time.
I look forward to watching the video your friend put together and see the new pictures of your family.
In ending this, I did want both you and Aimee to know, although we do not know each other (yet) if you ever need someone to talk to, to listen to or just need to get away, you guys are welcome to come to Canada. Please give Aimee a hug to from one mommy to another (I have 5 Angel babies in Heaven) and please tell her although my heart breaks for you all, I do believe God will carry you through this.
Take Care Adam and May God Bless you and keep you all safe within his arms.
May Peace Be With You....Especially tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Your Stranger Friend,
Jenn
Even though I can't be there in person, I will be there in spirit. Kayleigh will be in my heart and my thoughts tomorrow. You and your family are in our prayers!
oh how I wish I could be there with you tomorrow... I will pray for you guys and I know that God will help you to go through this all ...
I won't be there in person but will be thinking of all of you tomorrow. Rest in peace Kayleigh.....
God Bless you all...my thoughts will be with you as i cannot be there in person...(from TX here) yall are great parents!! I work in the NICU and Im truly touched by Kayleigh's story...ive been sharing it with co-workers and family even though i found out about her just a few weeks ago...she has mad an impact on my life!!! Take care!!! =) hugs
Adam and Aimee,
I still feel compelled to come to this site, even though I know there is no news of Kayleigh. It is a hard habit to break after almost nine months.
Every time I realize what I am doing, I say a prayer for your family, because I know you must be feeling much more empty. We hope Allison and Brandon are hangin' in there. Maybe it is good that you are staying so busy, so it doesn't hit you all at once. We are still praying for you all. Perhaps the house has too many memories...and this move will give you a fresh perspective. I hope things go well for all of you.
I would like to start by saying that I am terribly sorry for your loss and my family and I will have you and your beautiful Kayleigh in our prayers. Unfortunatly I didn't stumble across her story until early this morning while making my own blog for my baby that is still in the NICU.(6 months today actually) I know Kayleigh is with the Lord and is looking down with that beautiful smile of hers. God bless you and your family and i hope and pray that you stay stong through this whole emotional roller coaster.
The Olivares family
You all are in out thoughts and prayers! I'm sorry we can't be there in person. Please know that we are thinking and praying for you .
with deepest sympathy,
nicole
I am so sorry I can't be there tomorrow but I did receive my Kayleigh bracelet on my birthday Thursday and I felt like I got a gift from Heaven. I will be releasing balloons.
xoxo
Sarah & Kenadie
GRRRRR to the bank for not wanting to contact you to settle! Shame on them. You are right, the Lord must have wanted you guys to be somewhere else. Though moving sounds like soooo much to take on so soon. Perhaps it is a way to help keep your minds busy and ease the burden on your heavy hearts. I know Kayleigh knows that you guys think about her constantly. By the way, if a point does come...where everything hits you guys like a ton of bricks....let us know. We (your blog group) will continue to be here for you anyway that we can! I pray that won't happen. The fact that you guys are still standing through all of this is AMAZING. We know where Kayleigh gets it!(her strength) HUGS! can't wait to see the post about the memorial. We will be remembering Kayleigh in Texas and releasing balloons too!
Freeman family...thank you so much for the opportunity to share in this journey with all of you...May God continue to bless each and every one of you ...The Kellers
Prayers continuing each and every day from Arizona...
You guys are in my thoughts and prayers! Sending hugs and love!!
I use to live in S.Charlotte and wish we could come.
I will release pink balloons tomorrow in the park with my kids and will take pictures for you guys.
God Bless!
We will be letting out Balloons here in Corpus Christi, Tx. For little Kayleigh's Memorial. We wish that we could make it to see yall, but sadly we are not going to be able to. We will be sure to send you the picturs of us letting loose the Balloons. We are praying everyday that God give you strength. We love you and wish you well. GOD BLESS YOU!
I wish I could be at the memorial in person, but I will definitely be there in spirit! I look forward to seeing the pictures. Kayleigh may be gone but she will NEVER be forgotten. She has made an impact in so many lives. She has reminded me to NEVER take my 8 month old son for granted, not for one second. I squeeze him a little tighter and a little longer now.
God bless Kayleigh & God bless your family.
Love,
Allison from Tampa
Sending prayers.
Praying for your previous family! I know it is going you be one AMAZING service. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing Kayleigh's life to touch so many.
We're releasing one balloon from each of us tomorrow. Plus one from both boys and the lil one Im currently pregnant with. I can't wait to see the video! I'd come to the memorial, but Im high risk and cannot travel. God bless you guys!
Adam and Aimee,
Also it would be a good idea to have ppl put on the cards where they are releasing there balloons from, so if people do contact you you all will know where the balloon came from and who released it. Im feeling really crappy this weekend not being there with you guys and our family. But the good news is i did get permission to leave my post at work on Sun and release our balloons. I love you guys and upset that i am not there for you guys,
Brandi O in ohio

Praying and thinking about you guys tonight as you mentally prepare and tomorrow as you finalize things. Thank you for still including us in your family. I feel like a part of your family now and it is nice to still read posts. Wish I could be there with you all tomorrow.
you and your family are in my prayers. "may the lord bless you can keep you, many the lord lift up his countenances upon you, and be gracious unto you. amen"
My heart breaks for your family. I pray that Kayleigh's funeral goes beautifully for you.
Ohhhh I cant wait to see the pics and video! NILMDTS does the best pics! I cant believe how rude the bank was and wont let you stay in your home! Are you guys still moving in with your parents or did you find another house? So sorry this is all hitting you at once!
Hugs! We will be praying for you tommorrow!
Dawn and the Lairds
I can't imagine what you all must be going through. May God continue giving you the strength to live out every day. God Bless!

I'm so sorry about the loss of your house also during this difficult time. But in a way I hope it will bring you to a new home with lots of happy memories to fill it with!
Kim
Adam and Aimee--I hope you get this note. The last few times I have tried to post on here I don't think it worked. My family and I live in Chattanooga, TN and have followed Kayleigh's story for a little over a month now. We would love an opportunity to meet your family one day since we cannot come to the memorial. We feel like we know you all through reading about precious Kayleigh. We pray for a perfect day as you lay your sweet angel to rest and for God's grace and mercy as you deal with your pain. You have all blessed us beyond measure and because of Kayleigh we will never be the same!! We will release the balloons tomorrow in her honor and pray that others will be blessed to find the notes one day.
God Bless, The Coverly Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this extremely tough time.
Have you thought of pringing the name of the bank so others will know not to do business with them?
Grandmaof6
Praying that the Lord will be in every detail tomorrow as you celebrate Kayleigh's amazing life, and that He will bless you in some unexpected way that will be just another example to us that His ways are not our own, but so much greater than anything we can imagine. Your family has captured our hearts!
Love in Christ,
Lynn
we will be praying for you tomorrow. God grant you please.
Ang
My heart is aching for you as I read this. Please know you are in my heart and in my prayers! This cannot be an easy things to go through and I pray that God continues to give you the strength to get through these tough times.
Praying for you in Missouri!
Praying so much for you guys!
God bless you guys, and may He give you strength and peace at the memorial tomorrow...and tomorrow...and tomorrow...and tomorrow...
We are ready to share in the moment in celebrating Kayleigh's couraegous fight and her wonderful message. One of the 11 balloons has already deflated, but I am going to release it with another....doubling up the message! May God hold your hand through this time of your life and friends and family lift you up tomorrow. Just want to let you know, I miss your angel dearly...I want to check in constantly hoping for an update. I know in our own time we will let go, but she will forever have a piece of my heart. Keep looking up as she is always looking down on you! Warmest of Wishes from VA
I will be thinking and praying for you guys all the way over in Italy. Kayleigh truly touched my heart and i will never forget her strength!
God Bless-
Melissa Long
WOW! Sounds like you have hardly had a moment to breath since all this that happened. God blessed you with Kayleigh's life and now will bless you in her passing. I pray for you daily that you find a safe place to land.
Babs
I wish I could be there. I'm sure that it will be beautiful, and there will be so many loving friends around. You are all in my prayers.
I wish that my children and I could be there. My thoughts are with you and your family.
I am so sorry. It doesnt get better but it does change with time. I hope you can find peace.

Adam & Aimee,
I am crushed by the passing of sweet Kayleigh. I hope that you find peace in the days to come, and always remember how many people have come to know what an awsome God we serve because of the "One Pound Miracle"! I am sorry that I can't attend tomorrow and am looking forward to seeing the video. I pray for you and your family daily. May God be with you and your family in the days to come.
To the Freemans, I would love to be able to come to the memorial but there is no way. But just to let you know I will be thinking of you and your family. I have no idea who you are and you don't know me but that doesn't matter we are sister's in Christ and he is our father. I live in a small town in the panhandle of Florida, Port St Joe. I have been following your blog for a while and was so sadden by the out come, but to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. And little Kayleigh is probably being held in the Father's arms. So I will be saying a prayer for you tomorrow.
God Bless
Punkin White
God be with you. We lift you up in our prayers.

I'll be praying for you all tomorrow. I can't wait to see the video!
I can't believe you guys are having to worry about moving house in amongst all this. That's just messed up. I hope you guys have lots of help with the packing up and everything. I'd be pretty angry about that whole situation, but as usual, you guys are so graceful and positive, and such a great example.
I love her too. I hope my daughter is playing nice with her up there. :)
praying for you tomorrow.
I love you guys too. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Can't wait to see the video.
God Bless you all... ((HUGS))
Dalila from NJ
I will be there in my thoughts with you. Know that God is carrying you through these painful and uncertain days and he will bear the burdens for you both, leaving you free to love each other and focus on your tribute to Kayleigh. The new house is probably going to be a blessing in disguise, once the chaos of everything has calmed down, when one door closes, another opens. Loving you both...
I wish I could be there tomorrow, my heart will be there with you. Praying for you as you walk this journey- always know you have friends here in Los Angeles. (((hugs)))
Remembering here in Tallahassee

I have been following Kayleigh's story for the past few months...I fell in love with her as soon as I started reading and seeing her pics. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I have shared her story with many. She touched my heart and not a day goes by that I don't visit her blog. My heart aches and I am thinking and praying for your family constantly. Adam and Aimee-what Wonderful people you are!
I will be letting off pink balloons here in Pa tomorrow! what an Inspiration you are, little kayleigh!!!
God Bless,
Mallory and family
Im sorry things are so rough right now. you and your family are in my prayers.
we will be releasing pink balloons tomorrow!
Bless you and your family. I will be praying for you tomorrow. Kayleigh will be smiling down :)
Dear Freeman Family...I can relate to so much of what you are going through, yet nothing at all. We lost my nephew last November (15 months old), but he wasn't my child. My husband lost his job, and we've had to move out of our house and back to Oklahoma. We've sat through a memorial service and felt as if our hearts were being ripped right out of our chests, but at the same second, God's amazing presence filled the sanctuary. My brother, distraught with grief, found strength in the Lord to stand with one hand on Major's tiny casket and the other hand stretched towards heaven, and praise our amazing God and testify of His goodness. As his sister, my world was rocked. This passing wasn't expected. It was a tragic accident that took place at the church nursery. They never got to say goodbye...Now, my brother and his wife are on their own journey in grief. They understand your pain. Though every story is different, our hearts feel the same when a little one goes back into the very arms in which they were given to us. Take your time on your journey. Reach out. It's okay to cry...cry as much as you want...God will catch every tear. My love, my thoughts, and my prayers are with you. I would be there if I could tomorrow, though I don't know you personally. I just want you to know of God's love that is flowing through hearts for you around this country...this world. So many people will continue to cover you in prayer. We send all our love!!
In His Grip!

I have been thinking of you guys a lot this week. Your sweet family is in my prayers. *hugs*
Praying that you will have the day you need to celebrate the life of your beautiful girl. God bless you xxxx
Thank you for the update. God bless you! I know that your future is uncertain but your strength and trust in God will make things better. I'm so sorry for your broken hearts. I will continue to pray for you and your family!
God Bless you!
Thank you for your openness and honesty through what has to be the hardest thing a parent could ever endure. I wish I could be there tomorrow, but Seattle is a long way away. My family has been and will continue to be lifting you all up to our Lord! I'm glad you can feel our prayers and pray you are feeling the loving arms of our Savior wrapped around you all...the same arms that are wrapped around your precious angel, Kayleigh!
God bless,
The Beaulieu family
Although I cannot be at the memorial tomorrow, I will be thinking of your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Looking foward to seeing all the pictures and the video celebrating Kayleigh's life.
God Bless You!
Kayleigh wa in my thoughts all this week as I've been out of town and I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family. I am also sorry you are having to move right now. Prayers are being said for you.
Aimee and Adam,
You guys are God's definition of a family. I am praying hard for you.
I'll take a video of us releasing the balloons!
Wish we could be there. Thinking and praying for you!
lots of prayers for your family tomorrow and the days ahead:)
Bless your family.
It just seems so surreal.. like a sad dream. "She really can't be gone!" .. that's what my mind wants to scream, while my heart breaks over her, knowing she is. She was too beautiful for this world.. too precious and wonderful. Now she is in a new home that is beautiful, like her. We have yet to see the face of the Lord.. yet she is there, right now, in His presence! What an amazing thought.
I can't wait to someday be there with them both!
My prayers are with you. I wish I could be there tomorrow, to give you all a big hug, and to cry with you. But, as believer's, we are all tied together with one Spirit. May God strengthen and uphold you all, as well as give you a peace and comfort that surpasses all understanding.
Thank you for being Kayleigh's parents. For standing by her, and loving her. Your beautiful child has changed many things, and people, in this world. I know, because I am one of them.
You are greatly loved!
In Him,
Joy
We love you guys, too. Thanks for keeping us posted. We continue to pray for your beautiful family. We will be sure to take pictures of our balloon release! Good luck tomorrow. We wish we could be there with you. God bless all of you.
Prayer for you Adam and Aimee. I am deeply sorry for your loss, but so very amazed at what a strong little girl you had. She is beautiful. I will pray for you and the kids as you move. God has a bigger plan.
We're releasing a balloon in Kennesaw, GA!!
Praying that you have beautiful weather for the service. XOXO!
I'll make sure to grab a couple pink balloons today.
I admire your strength and compassion through all of this. I'm still brought to tears every time I read one of your posts.
((((((((hugs)))))))) i'll be thinking of kayleigh and praying for your family tomorrow. our choir is singing a song tomorrow called 'i cling to the cross' and i will be singing it for your family. love and God bless,
-vanessa
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I will be praying for your family as your travel continues down this long road. I am so sorry for your beautiful lose.
I am so glad you got a NILMDTS Photographer, I treasure the photos they took my my sweet Genevive.
The funeral is the hardest part in my opinion, hang in there it will get better. Remember you guys have a lot of support!
I wish we could be there for your family.. I think about Kayleigh all the time even though I never knew her personally. You guys will get through this, you are a strong family! I hope all goes well and will be releasing balloons in honor of Kayleigh
May God give you peace during this time. I know that Kayleigh will live on in the hearts of so many of your readers. God bless you and your family. We will all be with Kayleigh one day.

Dear Amy, Adam, and Family,
As I sit here and read your post, I have on my right wrist Kayleigh's pink bracelet - she will never be far from my heart.
I wish more than anything that I could hop on a plane to North Carolina tomorrow, be there for Kayleigh's memorial, and give you all a HUGE hug.
I will definitely take pictures of my friends and I releasing the balloons, and I also have pictures of my classmates and I holding a poster that says: "praying for Kayleigh." Sadly, the picture did not come out as well as I would have liked, but the thought was definitely there. I will send all the pictures soon.
I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through right now. As a volunteer in a NICU, I have gotten attached to babies that have gone home to God, however, none of those babies have been MY child. Please know that my heart is with you all at this incredibly difficult time.
I also wanted to let you know that I am a social work major at Salem State College in Massachusetts and will be starting an internship at one of Boston's big hospitals in their NICU. I would LOVE more than anything to come aboard your team and help spread Kayleigh's very important message. I am very involved in the March of Dimes and the March for Babies, but I want to change the world :) I'd like to do more, and Kayleigh's life and death has inspired me to do MORE!!! Kayleigh's life was such an inspiration, and her short life inspired me to do so much more with mine. In her 11 months on earth, she has touched more lives and fought harder than most people do in a lifetime. Please let me help you spread Kayleigh's message!!! My telephone number is 781-910-6926 and my E-mail is
Rach52886@comcast.net.
I'll tell Kayleigh this, but I wanted to tell you as well, "Kayleigh, you are truly the definition of a miracle, and you have inspired me to be a better person. Thanks for fighting for the last 11 months. You are AMAZING!"
All my love and prayers,
Rachel Davis
Im thinking about you and your lovely family....
Big big hugs to you all Adam and family! I wish there was more that I could do...i will be releasing pink balloons from down here in New Zealand and will email you pics.
My friends and I here in MN wish we could come out for the memorial, but we will be doing the balloon release. (thank you for the great idea) We also plan to walk in the March of Dimes next year in Kayleigh's honor.
<3 from MN.
Lindsey & Kirra.
My thoughts are with you and the family. Sending you strength and hope from Michigan!
Hi Freemans i am so very sorry for your loss.Kayleigh has taught me and the class so much even Mrs.Carpenter says soo..we have learned to care for others.like for example you guys were strangers and we sent you things.
It was so hard for us to beleive.everybody was crying on each other but we know she is in good hands now..
Love shaylee From Mrs.Carpenters class
We will be thinking of you all tomorrow, as you say goodbye to little Kayleigh. Due to the distance, I will not be at Kayleighs service, however I will be at another celebration of life for my friends 5 month old grandson who passed away of SIDS on Tuesday. I can only imagine the fun these two are having together in Heaven. We will have blue and pink balloons!!
Take care of yourselves,
Rita
We share your family's loss and will continue to pray for all of The Freeman family.
Sincerely,

Wishing i could be there to show my love to Kayleigh and your family..Just know that i will be thinking of you all...Missing her sweet face :( Lay me down to sleep do such wonderful work..
I can't believe that the bank wasen't interested in helping you, especially at this emotional time..Maybe it is as you say, time to move on...
May you all find loving strength from family and friends in the days to come..
Thank you for allowing me and my family to follow your story and we will continue to do so..there is so much more to be done
Love to all

ps I hold my children tighter, especially my 1 year old as she is lucky to be here after i suffered preeclampsia while pregnant with her..and was in hospital for 6 weeks before she was born..thankfully healthy and happy
Praying for you all and thinking of you constantly. Wish I could be there tomorrow. I will definately stop for a time of thought and prayer in Kayleigh's memory during the time.
God bless you, Freeman family! I'm still praying in Bama and was in Spartanburg, SC, yesterday. Just wish I could have stayed one more day to come to the memorial.
I know the memorial will be as beautiful as Kayleigh has been to all of you (and all of us). :)
I'm keeping you in my prayers!
I want to be there so bad, but we live in California. I was in the grocery store this morning and heard the song from the blog, Over the Rainbow. I was thinking to myself, this is Kayleighs song. I then pictured her up in heaven, having a great time. It brought tears to my eyes. I pray that this will hopefully bring some closure tomorrow and you can move forward. We will be praying for you and your family as you say bye for one last time...
Scarlett and I wish we could be with you tomorrow to say good bye, but we will be releasing our pink balloon from Australia. I can't imagine what the weeks following will be like for you and your family, but please know that we still have you in our hearts - forever. I hope the day is everything you have planned and is reflective of the love Kayleigh and your family brought to our lives and the lives of thousands. Take Care and I can't wait to see your video.
My heart is broken from reading your story. I have just spent the last 2 hours going back on your blog reading Kayleigh's story.....(tears). I am so sorry for all that you have had to endure over the past year. I will be praying for your family and that our Lord continues to be first in your life. But I do know our Father loves us and even though we don't understand it, He does and he will help us all learn from Kayleigh! Thank you so much for sharing and opening up your personal life to us so that we can pray for you! God Bless you and your family!
We love your family too! You are an incredible couple!
You are in my prayers. (((HUGS)))
Continued prayers for your family.
I wish we could be there tomorrow, but of the long drive it is not possible for a one day trip.
I will be praying tomorrow will bring another chapter to your life, one that closes but only to be continued.
I pray for your move next week that it will be a good one.
I can not wait to send the pink balloons off to the heavens in Kaylieghs honor.
I hope all us followers can still be in touch with your family..maybe start us a new blog where we all can still stay connected. I feel we all have gone thru this beautiful journey with you and precious and NEVER forgotten Kayleigh.
Loving friends

We will be praying for you tomorrow. We wish we could be there but we live about 18 hours away! We will be releasing a pink balloon along with you though!
God be with you, peace and understanding follow you in these days of uncertainty and upheaval....hugs and pink balloons....
(((hugs)))
Adam & Aimee,
Please know that my family is lifting you up in prayer! You are such an important part of our lives and we continue to pray for you daily! We will be sending up some pink ballons for Kayleigh tmrw! Can't wait to see the video! Love you guys!
I wish I could be there to celebrate Kayleigh's life & all she has taught me. I love you guys & will pray for you extra hard the next few days.
We love you too. Our family will get a pink balloon for Kayleigh and release it here in Australia. We'll be thinking of you on Sunday and send all our prayers, love and hugs.
Maria & Family, Australia x x
You and your family WILL make it through tomorrow.
2 Corthians 12: 9 & 10 say that when we are at our weakest, Christ is at His strongest. I have been praying that scripture all week.
The weaker we become the stronger we get, but it is not our own strength, your and your families' strength comes from Christ.
I am so sorry that all of this has happened, no parent should EVER have to bury their child. But, God has a plan, and although we may never know it in this lifetime, HE knows what HE is doing.
I will be continuing to pray for you and your family.
I mailed 2 cards yesterday, but I enclosed a CD that I made that is titled "Kaleigh's Songs". They are songs that I love, and fit her and you and your family while grieving. I lost both my grandfather's last year, one I was very close to and the other I wasn't, but 2 of the songs on that CD I sang at their funerals.
Enjoy that CD and the songs on it, listen to it often and think of Kayleigh.
Praying and Love,
Emily
ADAM PLEASE POST THE VIDEO, I BET IT IS GREAT, I WOULD LOVE TO COME TOMM. BUT I CANT ,YOUR FAMILY IS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
ADAM, I WOULD LOVE TO COME TOMM. BUT I CANT, SO PLEASE POST THE VIDEO, WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT,YOUR FAMILY IS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, GOD BLESS YOU
Freeman's:
You guys are constanly beinf prayed for and thought of daily. I have cried my heart out trying to figure out how to make the 13 hr drive there for the memorial. My poor husband has felt bad for us not being able to come but promised me when we can make the journey he would take me so I could tell you both in person how much Kayleigh and your strength mean to me. Please Please know I am there in spirit and will take pics tomorrow of our family letting the balloons go. I know one day I will get to meet you in person and can tell you in person but until then know I love you guys and you are a part of my family. Kayleigh has meant so much to me and will continue to always be with me. I know she is looking down from heaven smiling down on you for being THE MOST WONDERFUL PARENTS EVER, she is truely the luckist little princess ever. I can't wait for the post from the memorial service. Baby girl I miss you a ton but know you are whole and at peace. We love you Freeman's. God keep them in your hands and comfort them like only you can.
Can't wait to let my balloons go in honor of Kayleigh! May the Lord's presence be ever so evident during the memorial service tomorrow.
I'm not sure if anyone has ever commented on how strong you are! You and your family are extremely amazing people =]
We will be praying for you all as you set aside this special time to remember Kayleigh. I am sorry that the move has to take place...I was hoping that it would work out that you could stay...but like you said, God just must have bigger and better plans for you all!
Blessings-
Laura from FL
God bless you and your sweet family. I am praying for you all, and I know that God is carrying you through this extremely difficult time.
Aimee and Adam,
I have never posted before, but have been following your blog for several months now and been praying for your precious family daily. Unfortunately I will not be able to come tomorrow due to the distance and lack of funds. But know that I will be praying as I have been every day for months now since I found your blog. You all are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. I have 4 children myself...my youngest being 5 months old and my heart just breaks for you. Jesus is holding Kayleigh tight in his arms and she has been restored to full health and is running, dancing and playing with the angels in heaven. May God scoop you up in His loving arms and carry you through this storm. You are wonderful people and your faith in God through this has been such an inspiration to me as well as a lot of other people. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and at 4:00pm I will be letting balloons go in Kayleigh's name tomorrow. God bless and keep you in His love.
In Christ,
Theresa Barnette and family
Aimee and Adam and family,
thinking of you all today - it is Sunday morning here in Melbourne Australia and i woke up thinking of it being Kayleigh's special day. You are so brave - you just inspire me. Please, when today is over, take some time to take special care of yourselves and the close ones around you. We are all here for you
I wish I could be there to celebrate with you but I will be with you in spirit and praying for you. You have my heart and prayers for a very long time to come. Praying for sweet rest for you when you catch your breath. God Bless you and I love Kayleigh so much.
Love and Hugs, Laurie
Oh how I pray you will feel the comfort, joy, love, and peace from all of us out here praying for you and your family. Oh what JOY Kayleigh brought all of us.
Will be asking God to keep you all VERY VERY close tomorrow & all of the days ahead, as we remember your sweet sweet Kayleigh.

You will be in our prayers tomorrow and next week as you prepare to move!!! Good Luck!
I wish I could be there tomorrow. My husband has a meeting at 2 tomorrow afternoon so there's no way I'd make it there on time but I will be releasing balloons for her and will send you pictures. I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow as I have often during the past week. I don't think you'll ever understand how much I came to love Kayleigh. Sending love to your entire family!
We wish we could be there but we will be thinking of you and Aimee and we know that little Kayleigh is watching over you. Kayleigh is such an inspiration to us all.
Adam & Aimee, I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish I could've been there tomorrow to support you and your family. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers today, tomorrow and for weeks to come as you try to move forward without your precious Kayleigh. I have been following your story for only a couple of weeks and I'm glad you have shared it with us. As a new mother of twins, I feel your love, your fight and your desire to have your kids whole again. You both inspire me! God bless you.
I can't wait to see the pictures, and I look forward/hoping you post the video online as well!
Our thoughts and prayers remain with your family, and I hope the memorial of Kayleigh's life will give you a sense of joy and happiness, and not sorrow.
wow im really surprised there is no posts today! anyway i saw the Drs show on wed and thought there efforts to help you save your house were amazing! but that its really sad the bank isnt willing to take it! that really stinks. like you said its probably gods way of saying you need out of that house. i personally look forward to all of the photos and the video. take care and god bless!
My prayers are with you and your family as you prepare for the memorial service on Sunday. What a wonderful way to honor Kayleigh's life! I'm so sad that you guys will be forced to make a move, but as you said, it was probably all in His plan. Much love~
You and Aimee are in our prayers through this tough time and Kayleigh is watching over you and even though she was on this earth for such a sort time she has tought me so many things and her strength and your families faith has impacted me in such a way that I will be forever changed by your family.
I wish I could be there tomorrow but I will be releasing balloons. I went and got them filled up today and one of the five that I got couldn't wait till tomorrow to get up to heaven. I will be praying for God to give strength to your family tomorrow.
God Bless all of you!!!

God bless you and your precious family. I'm sorry the bank wouldn't work with you.
I'm sure this all seems like a bad dream.
You're in my prayers.

Adam & Aimee,
I have no doubt that the memorial service will be just as memorable and beautiful as Kayleigh. We are planning to send up our balloons tomorrow at 4 all the way up here in Michigan. Thank you for sharing your difficult journey with the world. You have reminded me to hug my kids more and not take things for granted. I'm not much of a religious person as I don't really belong to any church , however you have shown me how faith can get a person through some of the most difficult times. I have to say you made a believer out of me. I wish there was something I could do for your family to take away your pain. I have shared this story with everyone I know letting them know that this is the most beautiful story of miracles, faith, love and modern medicine. I think of you and Aimee all the time. Thank you for bringing such a beautiful little miracle into the world and sharing her glorious time here on earth with all of us.
God bless and I am thinking of your family. Tomorrow will be a difficult but beautiful day.
Iam so sorry to hear about your house. I know that god will provide for you and your family. I also live in charlotte and have been keeping up with your story. Hopefully me and my friend will be able to get a pink balloon and let it go tomorrow in honor of Kaleigh.
Today as I prepare the simplest of fruit salad for my little ones I began to cry as "Somewhere over the rainbow" was playing on a CD that we recently got at a baby shower. I followed your story and oh how I wish I lived closer. I am originally from Asheboro North Carolina and now live in Indiana. We will do a balloon release with the kids on Sunday. I have asked our little angel to have play dates with Kayleigh in the heavens. All of my blessings are adopted -Baby Charles was a full sibling to our oldest and was placed in Gods arms on day 13th after losing a fast battle to NEC. I am glad you got the time to love on Kayleigh and watch her grow and touch so many hearts. I will continue to share her story with all those I meet. May the Lord give you comfort and strength to love all the blessings that are sure to come your way with Kayleigh in Heaven. Baby Charles blessed us with a daughter 2 short months after he was in heaven as he knew this is what I needed. Another wonderful adoption and blessing we might not have known otherwise. Peace and Love to you.
I can't wait to see her beautiful video, I'm sure I'll cry my eyes out. I have thought about you all week, I can't imagine how sad you must feel. You are in my prayers.
You have been on my mind and in my prayers all day. I know tomorrow will be a blur but my prayer is that you will feel the warmth of your friends and loved ones prayers. And that God will hold you close as you work through your grief. Cling to each other ( as you always have) during this time. Remember that each of you and each family member deals with the grief in different ways. Grief isnt always pretty and it is a process that you have to go through. I still deal with my grief over the loss of my children, but over time God allows the good memories and the love you shared to be what heals the pain of her loss.
I will be on my knees tomorrow during the service in prayer. With love!
We will be releasing a ballon saying a prayer and planting a flower...we love you guys
The cudabacks
God bless!
I hope you found strength in the Lord and your community of family and friends today. My thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family...
I will be thinking of you all tomorrow, and praying too. It will be one of the toughest days, but you will get through it. Hold on to each other, and lean on the people who are there to support you. Will you put the video online after tomorrow, for those of us who are too far away to join you? I hope so. My heart will be with you, and I'm so very sorry. My absolute deepest sympathies.
