My thoughts are with you all. I will be watching the show tomorrow (likely in tears!)
adam & amy im so sorry i wont be able to be there in person but you will be in my prayers all day sunday. please know kayleigh is prob sittin on jesus knee right now laughing and giggling and praising god
You don't know me, as I saw a link to your daughter's story for the first time today. But if I could I would offer you a heartfelt hug, just as women whom I did not know offered me at my dear son's grave just a few months ago.
My heart aches for you. My own dear son was born in January, 11 inches, less than 1 pound. Tiny hands and feet. And he too is with the Lord. I'm sure your little one has others who were waiting to welcome her home, but I've asked our Nikolai to watch for her and show her around.
May God hold you close and comfort you.
I am praying for you, Aimee, Brandon, Allyson and especially sweet Kayleigh!!!

I wish I had the means to come to this service to give you a huge hug and tell you in person how much you, Aimee, and Kayleigh have touched my life. Thank you for opening up this service to everyone.
I haven't stopped the tears from flowing since this morning - and I will never stop the prayers.
May God bless your family in this difficult time. There is no greater love than the love of a child. Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers since coming across your blog a few months ago. My heart breaks for your loss of an incredible baby girl. Kayleigh's body is no longer broken and her soul is more than alive in our hearts.
God Bless!
My heart goes out to you and your entire family....I will be at the memorial in spirit....My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you during this difficult time.

we would love to attend, but we can't make it. we will be there in spirit.

God Bless Kayleigh
Lord, Please hold this family tight during the days and nights to follow. We know you have healed Kayleigh and we praise you for that. Though we weep through the night Joy comes in the morning. In Your precious name, Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.....we will be watching tomorrow and will continue to support you for our lifetime. Sending love from Canada....Emma and I so want to be there and in spirit we will be. Kayleigh was a miracle that impacted mine and my family's life more than I can tell you.
Your faith will get you through as well as all of our love from around the world!!! We love you and your children.....Sending our love to you.....

Thank you for sharing the information. I am constantly praying for your family. I wish I could come to the service...it's only an 8 hour drive! But I don't think my husband would let me. I will be there in my thoughts
We wish we could be there with all our hearts. Just know we will be thinking of you and praying for everything to go just the way you want it too. If you can please have someone record the service and put it on the blog. We would love to see it.
Bless you.
I keep thinking of you both today and your other children. Will continue with prayers. I'm just so very sorry.
my heart aches for you two. I just came across Kayleigh's site here and i couldn't help but cry as i looked at the letters you wrote. My firstborn, Sierra was born 3 months early too, due to severe preeclampsia and weighed 1lb 14 oz. I remember the NICU well and all the nurses that treated her and us well. I know the joy of seeing your lil girl amazingly leap over doubts and all odds and the hearbreak and fear of the unknown of what may come. God bless you and give you strength to make it thru this new journey without your precious baby. i will be praying for you!
~hugs~

How special that Kayleigh was able to hold on through Mother's Day for Aimee. Our family knows the pain of losing a precious baby although the journey was nowhere near yours, please know that are prayers are with you while our hearts bleed for you. It is an experience that doesn't seem fair, but one day we will know His greater purpose. How special to hold Kayleigh with no lines or wires, that was an amazing feeling to hold our neice even though she had already passed. Your beautiful daughter has touched so many lives and will continue to bring so many others to Him!
Continued thoughts and prayers.
Peace be with you.

Although we cannot be there at the memorial service, we will be releasing pink balloons and letters for sweet Kayleigh here in California. We will be sending photos in case you want to look back on how much we too miss sweet Kayleigh.
I wish more than anything that I could be there for Kayleigh's memorial celebration. She had the most love and prayers of anyone I have ever known and I can't wait to hear what a packed house it is going to be. What an amazing little girl she was and will continue to be in Heaven. I pray for healing and strength for not only your family, but everyone who has come into contact with Kayleigh's story. I feel so emotional about a beautiful girl I haven't even met..she was so powerful. I will keep you all in my prayers and even being in Ohio, I pray that if there is anything I can do, you will let me know.
I cannot find any words to say... I'm praying for you always - she's a beautiful baby & my heart aches for you deeply.
May God carry you through this -

Thanks for the information, wish we were closer and could come! I wanted to let you know the Doctor's site says Tuesday, May 13th..... you might want to let them know! :) I'm going to DVR your show! :)
Praying for you all during this difficult time!
Hugs!

Praying fervently for your whole family. May you feel God's arms wrapped tightly around you.
We wish we could be there in person but our heart and spirit will be there to share in the celebration of her life.

Thank you Adam. Since I live in Canada, I of course cannot make it to the memorial but you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
May God Bless You, Aimee and your children.
With Sadness....
My Best,

i really wish that i could be there but i live in washington so my thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time. i know how hard this is and i am praying for your family.
Thank you for the information. I won't be able to be there, but I'll be there in prayer.
<3
Adam and Aimee,
I can't seem to find the words to say other than I am so sorry for your loss! I sit here today crying with you, but also rejoicing that Kayleigh is now dancing and playing in Heaven and feeling better than she ever has. Please know that Kayleigh has touched more people in her short life than most of us will in an average lifetime. That is such a blessing in itself. I, for one, have grown so much in my faith and my relationship with the Lord, thanks to your family. You guys are truly an inspiration. Your strength and courage in times such as these models such beauty and grace.
Thanks so much Kayleigh for what you have taught me and for etching your name on my heart! It will forever be there. I will hug my children a little tighter each night thinking of you smiling down on us. There were so many people in this world that loved you so much even though you never had the chance to meet them.

Prayers your way~
Adam & Aimee,
You have not left my thoughts today at all nor my prayers. I have cried to my co workers about how I have been touched by Kayleigh and how much I will miss her. I am so badly trying to find a way to come Sunday but the 12 hour drive is my problem. Oh how badly I want to tell you in person what wonderful parents you are and what a blessing you two and Kayleigh have been to me. I do have a question are you doing a funeral for kayliegh this wk before the memorial service? My love is with you and please let us know whatever you need. :)
I pray God would continue to bless, comfort, and strengthen your family through this.
While I can't travel across the country to be there in body, I'll be there with you in spirit.
Will be tuning in tomorrow.
God bless
thank you for inviting us to continue being a part of Kayleigh's life. We are going to try to come. We were broken hearted for you, but my daughter said it right when she said, "God just couldn't wait on Kayleigh one more day." God bless you during this time. Can't wait to see your show tomorrow. Kayleigh will continue to bless so many. please keep us updated on how you are doing! we feel so attached to you all.
Thank you for keeping us informed, even during this extremely difficult time.
I do hope that you continue to blog. I know that you will always continue to tell Kayleigh's story. I just feel like an extended family member and hope to be able to continue this journey with you.
Aimee - my heart just breaks for you especially. I hope that my son, Davenport, was there at Heaven's gate, along with all the other little angels, to welcome Kayleigh to Heaven.
Adam - I'm sure that your little girl is looking down so proudly at her daddy :)
Allyson and Brandon - you have been so strong for your mommy and step dad during this past 10 months. I hope that you both are doing well and Kayleigh was so lucky ot have such a sweet brother and sister!
Although I will not be able to make the trip, as I live in Boston, I will be sending in a donation instead, and hope that it helps.
Thank you again for providing your address. I will be thinking of you.
All my love,

Coming from PA!!!!
I found your blog through another blog. I just want to tell you that I am so sorry for your loss and your family will be in my prayers. I can not imagine what you are feeling right now, but your faith is amazing.
And the story is continuing, just in a different way, my heart is with you as well as my prayers.....
I wish I lived close enough to attend. My prayers will be with you.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers and has been for the last few months when I came upon your blog. May the Lord's peace be with you and your sweet family.
Thank you Freemans for allowing us into your life. I will forever be touched by sweet sweet Kayleigh, I know she is being rocked to sleep by angels this evening, painfree!
We will be with you in spirit, prayer and love. God Bless Kayleigh.
Sending you my hearts prayer! She is always with you, and someday you will hold her and kiss her again. Prayers and love Sheila and Sky
God Bless you during this difficult time. I have seen your daughters story posted on several blogs....she certainly was special.
Praying for you... I'm so so sorry for your loss.
My heart pours out to your family. I wish I could attend the memorial. Will you have a candle lighting memorial for all of us around the world who have and will continue to keep sweet, precious Kayleigh in our hearts? If so, I will definately have everyone I know participate.
God bless you and your family during this difficult time. Kayleigh is finally home...
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of loss. I can't even imagine what your family is feeling right now. I am doing what you have asked of your readers, to kiss our children many times. I am thankful for your story and your willingness to share it with the world. You are all so very amazing and strong. I am just imagining about how beautiful Kayleigh looks wrapped up in the arms of Jesus.
We are praying continuously for you and your precious family. We are so sorry for your loss.

I wish I could afford to go! My prayers will be with you and your beautiful daughter. Much love from a girl who has been following your story since the beginning, Blanca
I have thought about all of today, my heart hurts. I know heaven is a sweeter place today, but as a mommy and daddy your hearts are broken.
Although I don't personally know Kayleigh, I wish I could be at her memorial service just to tell her Thank You. She has inspired me in ways I didn't think a child I never knew could. She definitely is a special angel.
Will be thinking of you and your family on the 17th.
Rest in peace little Kayleigh.
Elaine from MT
My heart breaks for you ! God bless you all and may Kayleigh rest in peace with the heavenly father.
I'II be thinking of you all the way from Australia. Wishing I could be there.
Your little girl has had such an impact on my life as well as many others. Her purpose has definitely been served. She showed people how to really love. XX
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm keeping your family in my prayers.
I'm sure it will be a beautiful celebration. We are still praying for your family in your time of sorrow. We just watched Kayleigh's video and it brought tears to my eyes, but I know she is in a wonderful place now.
Our hearts break for you both.
God's speed Kayleigh.
Thankyou so much Aimee and Adam for keeping everyone updated throughout this especially difficult time for your family and friends.
I so wish I could attend Kayleigh's memorial, however I live in Australia so that is clearly not possible. I will certainly be there in heart though.
Your story has reached and indeed touched so many, the world over.
Take Care

I'm so sorry. I couldn't imagine, and I hope I never can. We dont have the promise of tomorrow. God says, "Boast not thyself of tomorrow, thou knowest not what a day may bring forth". We need to love our family "NOW", today, in this very present, because thats what it is.....a present. Your in my prayers.

Oh Dear Lord! PLEASE tell me you didn't lose your home too?!? How much can one family take? I've been crying all day and praying so hard for strength for you and your family! Peace be with you.
I know many of us can not make a trip like that, but would love to do something in honor of Kayleigh. If there is anything you would like to see people do for her that cannot make the memorial service please post it. We would love to show our support for you all and honor sweet Kayleigh. We love you and continue to pray for you.

Oh how my heart hurts for you all. Little Kayleigh is such a miracle! She fought so hard to live and has blessed so many in her 11 months. I'm so sad for you that you weren't able to take her home, even if for a short time.
Your story has touched my heart so much, probably b/c I am a fellow micro preemie mom. My dd weighed 1 lb 5 oz at 23 weeks. She has had struggle after struggle, but we love her with such a fierce love!
Praying for your family during this incredibly difficult time. Lord bless you for the testimony you have given throughout Kayleigh's life.
-Patty
I am so sorry to hear about Kayleigh, I have been following your story since Aimee first posted on Babycenter. Kayleigh will always be on my mind, your story reminds everyday to hug my kids a little tighter and pray for families who need guidance in so many different ways. I don't take anything for granted anymore, I couldn't imagine going through everything you all have gone through.
You all have amazing faith and finally Kayleigh is whole, no longer in pain, and walking along side Jesus.
God Bless you and your family.
Betsy
aimee and adam,
thank you for the information and addresses. i was wondering if there is a certain charity or other organization that we can make special donations in kayleigh's name, such as donating Gideon Bibles, etc. do you have any preferences? i would love to be able to donate to a specific organization or charity in her name and wondered if you had one in mind that you would like to see the money go to.
your family and kayleigh have been in my heart all day long, and for the past several months. i have offered up many prayers for all of you, and am so happy that God has given a miracle and made kayleigh whole! my grandmother passed away on jan. 29th of this year, and i asked the Lord to let her hold kayleigh's hand while she learned the ropes in Heaven. she loved babies so much and was unable to meet her newest great-grandbaby, my daughter natalie born dec. 30th. i know that she will love meeting kayleigh because they are both precious souls. i hope this hasn't been offensive in any way, but i wanted you to know that so many of us are here and crying and hurting with you, even though we cannot truly understand your feelings. however, God knows exactly how you feel because He also lost a child. if there's any consolation, know that the Lord knows what it's like and that He knows EXACTLY what you need at this time. i will continue to pray that He holds you tightly during this journey and during this time of grief.

May god bless your family and i want to thank you for opening my eyes to see what god can do! I wish I could come but due to being in south florida i am not able to..may god bless you forever

May God comfort and keep you. My prayers are thoughts are with you. Thank you for sharing your sweet angel with us.

I wish I could be there in person with all my might. My heart goes out to your family. If I could afford the trip you better believe I would be there to celebrate Her life. I will instead light a candle on Sunday to share with you. May Kayleigh Rest In Peace and may the Lord grant you strength and peace.
I wish we could be at Kayleigh's memorial, but we live in Az, but will be thinking of your family. I have been waiting for the Doctor's episode all week, I am sure it will be great!! Please stay strong.
I'm sorry to hear that she's gone ...
May you feel the comfort of the Lord ALWAYS.
You are SO pro-life! Thank you for LOVING her during her time on this earth - you were a wonderful family to her.
God bless you all and I hope and pray you are comforted ...
Sending love & tears from Australia.
May God give you peace...& hope.
I put a reminder on for the show already..... I cannot WAIT to see it!!!!! I feel like i've been on this journey with you from the beginning..... I've sat by this computer eagerly awaiting updates everyday..... I wish I could be at her memorial!!! Please know that MY family is there in spirit!!! And we have our arms around you both!!! Your whole family........ What an amazing Angel God has in heaven now!!!!!
Adam, Aimee, Allyson and Brandon ~ Please know my family is thinking and praying for you guys during this sad time! I've posted a "memorial" on our blog of your precious angel (fiorifamily.blogspot.com). We lost a piece of our heart today when I read of the news! Jesus is awesome, please continue to believe in him. He will hold you up when you don't think you can hold yourself up!
We will continue praying for the Freeman family!
Much Love,
The Fiori Family in So. California
The freemans,
Although I cant be there physically I am in spirit. I love Kayleigh as if she was mine own. God Bless You Guys through this time.
I wished I lived in the area so I could attend and show support to your family. I will keep you in my prayers though!
What a sweet message from the staff of The Dr's. I wish I could make it down for her memorial but I jusst dont think we can swing it, I will be there in thought and spirit.

I am sorry that I won't be able to be there as I am on the other side of the world in Australia, but I will be thinking of you all, as I always have been since I discovered you and your beautiful Kayleigh.
God bless.
Adam and Aimee,
My heart breaks for you. I can only imagine how you must feel. While I have lost a nephew at the age of 2 due to leukemia, I have not gone through it with my own child.
We just learned Sunday that my dads cancer in uncurable and we only have 3-4 months left with him, according to the drs. I was so heartbroken and angry. I just felt sick to my stomach and like I couldnt breathe. I keep it together in front of the kids, but when night comes, I am a mess.
Your family comes into my thoughts often. I think you are amazing people. I know you are hurting and going through a very hard time right now. I have to let you know that despite that, you are my inspiration and strength right now. I just want you to know I am so thankful to you for sharing your story.
I wish I had some words to offer you but I know there are no words to take it all away. I am so happy that you got to spend the precious time you did with Kayleigh. I intend to do the same with my dad. I will be praying for you continually and I hope that you will still occasionally update on your family.
Lots of ((((HUGS)))), prayers and postive thoughts to your entire family
Sincerely,
Dawn McCabe
Praying for your family! We will for sure be watching the show tomorrow!
I will be there with you in spirit.. I will be praying for you.
Love,
Fer
I am so sorry for your loss...i am with a heavy heart upon learning that Kayleigh has passed away but i know she will be happy where she is right now, where is there is no more pain...and where Kayleigh will freely chase butterflies and smell the sweet smell of flowers...so long kayleigh....
Words escape even the most verbose of bloggers, but you and yours are in my prayers. Thank you for sharing with such candor. It's an inspiration as we walk through a similar journey with our Rudy--one where we walk trusting God with no outcome assured.
May Jesus give you the tender grace to see the next step in front of you.
Peace and comfort

My heart aches and tears fall for the loss of your sweet precious Kayleigh. She has touched my heart and is loved by so many people. Her journey here may have seemed like it was incomplete but she did exactly what God intended her to do. She was born to the most amazing parents and she has taught everyone about the power of love and faith. Now she is with our Heavenly Father. Kayleigh is patiently and peacefully waiting for the reunion of her wonderful family. My prayers will be with you, Aimee, Allyson and Brandon. God Bless.
I will be there in my heart, with gratitude for having "known" Kayleigh. You are in my heart, and am praying still, for your peace and comfort...God Bless
Thank you for the information. I know that Charoltte is just to far away for me to travel. I'd love to have been able to attend the beautiful service that I'm sure will be nothing short of touching.
I do however want to send a card for you and your family, which I will do tomorrow.
I have been following your blog for a little while, and updating my husband as I go along. We're going to be watching "The Dr.'s" tomorrow, and be thinking of your sweet little girl.
My heart breaks for your family. Your story has touched so many people and your Kayleigh made a huge impact on the world for one so tiny.
♥ and prayers.
I just started following your blog about two months ago. I am so sorry for your loss and was in tears reading your post. Wishing you love, support and comfort during this time.

I know there are no words that can take the pain away, but please know that our family is praying for you during this difficult time.

I praise God that Kayleigh is home with Him, but I was praying for you to have her home with you for a bit. I am praying for peace and comfort for you.
I will be watching tomorrow as well. I've been [raying for you guys for the last four months, and I'm so, so, sorry you lost your sweet girl. None of my words will make you feel any better, but you are in many people's thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful daughter with so many people. She gave the world a gift. Many prayers for strength for you and your family and friends.
*hugs*
I will continue to pray for your family. I pray that you will have strength and comfort in the days ahead. I also pray that you will have lots of helpers with your upcoming move. Wishing you the best from Washington.
I had just recently found your blog via MckMamma and then realized that you live in Charlotte and I do, too. I have been praying for you since I found the blog and will continue to pray for your family as you go through this very hard time.
I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend the celebration of Kayleigh's life as I live far away but I will be thinking of you all and specially of beautiful sweet Kayleigh.
May God keep her close always.

I came across your blog a few days ago and was so touched by Kayleigh's story. I lost my own daughter Emma when she was 4 days old to MIDAS syndrome and Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. I want to thank you for sharing your story...I know how heartbreaking it is but you may never realize how many lives you and little Kayleigh have touched. I am living all the way in Stuttgart,Germany and so I can only imagine how far reaching her story will be. As I have said in my blogs on MySpace about my daughter Emma and the same can be said about Kayleigh...these tiny little girls in their short lives on this Earth touched and changed so many lives. They had a reason and purpose for being in this world. They may have left sooner than we as parents would have wanted but God's timing is not our timing. I know how heartbroken you and your wife are and I will be praying for you to feel some peace and comforting during this time. Hold onto each other and to your other two children because that is what is going to help you to get through each day. I also know that as a father and husband you want to be strong for your wife and kids but remember that you have experienced a loss too and you need to take the time that you need to morn. Take care...you will be in my prayers. Melissa Moss (melissamoss79@live.com)
Im so sorry for you loss of you baby girl i couldn't imagine what your going through the loss of a child would be the hardest thing. We live in Australia so no way able to attend but will b their in spirit bless you and your beautiful family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, YOU ARE ALL IN MY PRAYERS,MY HEART IS BROKEN, I LOVE THAT LITTLE GIRL ALOT, MAY YOU FIND SOME KIND OF PEACE IN YOUR HEARTS, I WILL PRAY GOD GIVES YOU THAT, I WISHED I COULD COME , BUT I WANT BE ABLE TO, THANK YOU FOR INVITING US, IN YOUR TIME OF GRIEVE, GOD BLESS YOU
We will continue to pray for you and your family. Thank your for sharing your journey and we pray God will continue to be your great comforter.
I was linked to your blog today through www.mycharmingkids.net (which bites because I'm a mere hour north of you).
I'm sorry for your loss. Kayleigh is beautiful and perfect. We will be praying for you. :(
You are in our prayers in this very, very difficult time. I hope to see photos of the beautiful turnout that will celebrate Kayleigh's life!
Keeping all of you in my prayers. Sweet Kayleigh will be so missed.
I just heard about your story through a friend and just read your blog. Tears are pouring from my eyes, what an amazing and beautiful journey you have had and the faith you have in the Lord. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you losing your sweet and precious Kayleigh, yet I have hope in my heart that she is overjoyed sitting in the arms of our saviour. I will be praying for you all, the Lord bless you with an overwhelming sense of peace and comfort through this! Jenny, AZ
My heart breaks for you. I will be there in spirit and praying for peace and comfort while you go through this even harder journey. I am so sorry. Hugs xoxoxo Nan in PA
My family and I would love to have been able to make it to sweet Kayleigh's memorial. Although you are only 3 hours away, we will be out of state later this week, and sadly cannot make it.
I will wear pink on Sunday in honor of Kayleigh, and you will be in my family's thoughts and prayers.
Helena, Doug, and Baby Braeden
I have some very special angels up in heaven who I know will watch over Kayleigh until you can be with her again. My heart goes out to you and your family. My 4 yr old told me, Mommy, Kayleigh is our angel now and she is all better now. It's amazing the understanding that kids have. Aimee, I will say a special prayer for you from one Mommy to another. God Bless,

God bless your family. I saddened when I checked for your update today. Your family is in our prayers.
I've been following your blog for a few weeks now and am SO sorry to hear about your loss of your dear sweet Kayleigh... I was watching the Doctors this afternoon and THOUGHT I saw a blurb that sounded like your story, so I set Tivo to record it! :) I wish I could come and be part of this wonderful celebration of life, but I'm too far away. Never forget how many lives you've touched by sharing your story... may your hearts be healed in time. You will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss! I started following your blog 8 weeks ago when I was put on bed rest with our third child. I cannot even begin to tell you how much your story has meant to me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers!
I wish i could be there for you at this time, but unfortunatly that isn't possible.Please know that i will be there in prayer. I hope you will have someone there to maybe record the service for all of us around the world that love her and wish we could be there. Its just an idea, i understand thats not at the top of your priorities at this time.
i have the timer on my tv set for your show tomorrow.
i just want to add that i hope you still keep us updated on your life as you have. I want to know that her life is being lived out by you and your family.
With love,
Shelby
Analiza has a beautiful idea. We also will release pink balloons on Sunday in memory of Kayleigh since we cannot be there from Iowa. We will send pictures so you can keep a scrapbook of how many lives Kayleigh has touched. Prayers for peace..
I wish I could be there but as I live in Australia I will be thinking of you all and will be there in spirit.
I will always remember your beautiful daughter and the way she has touched me.
God Bless.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh how my heart aches to be there Sunday. I am praying a way will come for me to be there but if not please know i am there in spirit. i have cried to my co workers today about Kayleigh and she has not left my thoughts nor prayers today. I ask our heavenly father to hold you four close and comfort you like only he can. I love you guys.
I pray that everyday you just remember that Kayleigh is up with God and has no more pain. My thoughts and prayers are with Adam, Aimee, and their family in this time of need.

My heart breaks for you and your family. You are in our thoughts, hearts and definately in our prayers. What a precious angel to be held by Jesus in heaven! God will carry you through this...... Renee
Adam, Aimee, Allyson & Brandon,
My heart broke when my computer loaded this page. I cannot find the words to say, as I'm sure no one can, but please know that I am still praying, and will continue to pray for all of you. Though I've never met any of you, you have all been a huge part of my life for the passed 9 months that I have been following Kayleigh's story. I love your little girl so much and I am devastated feeling what I imagine must be only a fraction of your pain. God did and does have a purpose with Kayleigh's life, and her story has reminded me every day of the miracles God can and does create. Your strength and faith is inspirational and you are truly doing God's work with your blog and dedication to telling her story. Kayleigh will be in my heart always.
I will be at the life celebration in spirit on Sunday, unfortunately Prince George, BC is just too far away for me to go. Please know that Kayleigh was and is loved by so many people across the globe ... though she didn't live long, she lived big in that regard.
How precious that she got to snuggle so closely with you both and that you got to see the wind in her peach fuzz.
God bless you and hold you during this difficult time,
Cherilynn
Your family will be in our prayers.May God continue to hold you in His arms and cover you with peace.
I am praying for baby Kayleigh and for your whole family. If only I have means to go there to personally extend my condolences to your family, i would gladly come. Its hard but kayleigh is now free to chase her dreams, chase thousands of butterflies and smell the sweet scent of rain...where there is no more pain...we will miss u kayleigh...
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. A friend sent me Kayleigh's story today and I have been crying since. So sad for a child to go to Heaven so soon. God bless your family.
I have been following your story just for a few weeks now and was devestated to log on today and receive your news. My prayers are with you and Kayleigh. What a beautiful little girl. I know she is dancing with the angels now. They will forever take care of her. She is at peace now. May time one day heal your pain. For now, know the world mourns with you. Bless you sweet Kayleigh Anne.
I am not going to be able to be in the memorial service for sweet Kayleigh. All day Sunday I will be praying for your family and I'll be there in spirit. You are such a strong family and God will guide you through this hard time. I agree that Kayleigh is in heaven, completely healed and walking hand in hand with Jesus.
God Bless you!

I am sorry for your loss, may God's peace sooth you in this time.

My heart aches for you all. No parent should ever have to say good bye to their child, especially one so young and with so much life yet to live.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss of your sweet baby girl. All my prayers for your family!
I have followed your story and always in my heart felt everything was going to be alright. I cried tonight as I read. I am sorry for the loss you feel, and know there are no words to carry you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless your little one.

I am praying so much for your family. I have been sitting here absolutely crushed for you today. Kayleigh will always be a sweet sweet angel looking down and smiling on you forever. Kayleigh and her story will truly stick with me forever. I pray for you guys so much and I am truly very sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers everyday. I know I am just a girl you don't know at all- but I have literally been following Kayleigh's blog from day one. I pray so much for you- RIP Kayleigh... you're a sweet angel! <3
Peace be with you!
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Sweet Kayleigh has touched so many lives and will continue do from Heaven. God Bless, The Jeakins Family, IL
I would love to be at Kayleigh's celebration of life, however, the miles between us are far too many. I will plan on sending some pink balloons up to Heaven for her on Sunday.
My heart aches for you all!!
So Amazing,

Adam and Aimee,
I wish I could attend Kayleighs memorial. I will be thinking of your family forever. And will be watching your episode on doctors tomorrow. God Bless your whole family.
I'm so sorry.
You are in my prayers.
In Christ,
Julie
Sending hugs, love, and prayers.
Maybe we should all wear pink/brown on Sunday in support of Kayleigh. It doesn't even matter if you're at the memorial or not. Sound like a plan, prayer warriors?
My heart is breaking for your dear family.
You will continue to be in my prayers.

I have tears streaming down my face...I am deeply saddened by the loss of precious Kayleigh. Although she is now pain-free & with her Father I know your heart aches to have her here with you! Please know that you will be in my thoughts & prayers as you grieve the loss of God's miracle, Kayleigh. Love to you & your amazing family...
I pray her service is as beautiful as Kayleigh herself.

What a GREAT idea to let off pink balloons (I read from an earlier comment). I'm going to steal that idea too and let a pink balloon bouquet fly to heaven just as Kayleigh did in memory of her on Sunday.

Sweet Kayleigh you are in my thoughts, in my prayers and in my heart forever.

I can't believe she is gone. . . many prayers for you all!!!
I will wear pink & brown! And so will my baby girl!
Adam, thank you to you & Aimee & Kayleigh and your other children for opening your hearts and your home to us so we could all get to share in Kayleigh's life. We will miss her and we wish you the very best as you get through each day. I hope you will have your mail forwarded to your new home just in case we can't get something in the mail to you before May 23rd. You don't have to post your address but please do have your mail forwarded so we can continue to support you in the coming weeks.
The tribute on The Doctors website is very sweet. Congratulations again on getting Kayleigh's story out to so many people. She was an amazing little girl and it's truly appropriate that her first "mission" will be to share her story on such a popular national tv show. She will continue to do her work from up above and I know she's smiling down on you. I'm proud of her!
I have only visited your site a couple of times and have been so touched by your story. My heart and prayers are with you. This is one of my favorite verses and thought that it may be of some comfort for you.
[God says], do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
- Isaiah 41:10
I am so very sorry for your precious loss.
May God surround you with love at this time. May the memories of your beautiful girl comfort you. Her life has inspired and touched so many more than you can possible know. thank you for sharing her life with the world.

My heart is truly breaking for your family. I have cried throughout the day since I learned the news this morning. Kayleigh was such a blessing and has truly touched my life and so many others. I have been following Sweet Kayleigh from the beginning and feel blessed having known her. Kayleigh and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing her life with us.

My heart breaks for your family. I'm praying for you all. God bless you.
I just wanted you to know I had stopped by, and thank you for that last post, for sharing your last moments with your sweet girl with us. May you all find peace now.
I am so sorry to hear the news. (((HUGS))) and many prayers...
Adam and Aimee,
I have been thinking about your family all day. I'm so sorry for your loss. Heaven has definitely been blessed with a very special angel. She has a wonderful babysitter to watch over her until you are all reunited together again one day. Aimee, I'm so happy that Kayleigh got to spend her first Mother's Day with you. I have to believe she was holding long enough to spend this special with her mommy. Kayleigh has touched so many lives and her story will live on forever thanks to your beautiful blog!!
We cannot attend the memorial services but will celebrate Kaleigh's impact on all of us by lighting a candle and saying a wish for all of you.
Thank you for sharing Kaleigh with all of us.
Tina, Sarah, Grace, Analiese and Matthew.
I haven't been following your blog, but just read about beautiful Kayleigh's passing via Faith and Family Live. My tears are falling fast, and my prayers are coming to you with great fervency and love. May the promises of our Lord, and the love and prayers of those around you, bring you peace. What a blessing to be loved as your sweet baby is!
Much love,

My heart is so broken with pain for you.. I'm crying here tonight looking at her beautiful face. I'm so sorry you have had to endure this, but, oh what a gift she was! What a blessing from our King! You WILL hold her again! Trust in that! Cling to your heavenly father.. He will hold you! : )

My heart is breaking for your loving family...I havent been able to stop crying since i found out about little Kayleighs passing, i have been hoping and praying that this was not to be the outcome for little, beautiful Kayleigh...But i guess HE has big plans for her...I have been following your story since Kayleigh was born and i feel as though you are all part of our family..
Wishing we could be there to offer our love and support at this sad time, and some hugs...just know that we will be thinking of you all..

Godspeed precious angel! Oh the reunion you must have had when you entered your forever home~
I, too, will be releasing some pink balloons on Sunday and hope that Kayleigh will be able to see & touch them.
Thank you so much for sharing your daughter with us out here....what I've learned from her, I will never be able to express in words.
God Bless you,
A poem in honor of your beloved Angel Kayleigh:
Perhaps God is a poet who writes with words of flesh and bone and leaf and flower. Every hour of every day, words pour out of the poet's heart, and every word is beautiful and true and worth the telling. And when each poem is perfect and there is no more which ought to be said, the poet gently takes the words back into his heart, where they are safe forever . . . and then begins again.
My prayers will be with your family tonite. I am sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks for a beautiful little girl I never met. Thank you so much for sharing her with us.
What time does the doctors show begin and what channel is it on? I have never seen it. Thanks!
My heart aches for you and your family. Please find comfort in the thousands and thousands of prayers that are being said for your family.

These song lyrics I heard this morning reminded me of you:
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and past where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones, waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
"Don't worry about me"
-Alan Jackson
I am so, so sorry.
Your family and your precious baby girl have touched my heart. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I am so sad for you and your family but rejoice that the Lord has gained a precious angel. Kayleigh is free and her spirit lives in the hearts of us all. God Bless you!
Love, Raina
I like many others would love to come and Celebrate Kayleigh's life but I live in Mississippi and will not be able attend, but i would love to be able to do something to share Kayleigh's story with someone, If it is ok with You and Aimee if those of us that are unable to be at the service could release pink balloons with a card with Kayleigh's blog address inside so that when someone finds it they would be able to see what an Awesome & Beautiful Little Girl Kayleigh is. I also sent you an email.
We are Praying!

I don't even know you IRL, but my heart is broken for you and for Kayleigh. I wish I could ease your pain somehow, but I know there's nothing I can do/say except pray, but I did want to share with you Kayleigh's impact on my life. I live too far away to attend the memorial, but I want you to know that God really touched my heart through Kayleigh and began to teach me what it really means to live. I prayed with all my might for a miracle for your sweet girl, but I know that God had better plans for her that I can't even understand. I can't imagine how hard the coming time will be for your family, but I pray that God will give you some measure of comfort and strength, and that God would show you the best way for Kayleigh's legacy to live on.
I recently read a book by church leader Henri Nouwen called "Life of the Beloved" - I would recommend it to you, if only for the section on being "given" for the sake of the world - death, in other words. It isn't a book about losing a child, but the teaching that it has about death is the most inspiring I've ever read - I have never lost a child, but maybe it would also bring comfort? If you ever feel like trying it someday, it's an easy, short read; I imagine it will be some time before you're able to concentrate again. Take time to grieve your loss -- grief is a sign of love, not a lack of faith/trust in eternal life. Take care of yourselves and each other, and may God bless you.
We are unable to be there Sunday but will have your family and sweet Kayleigh in our thoughts.
I could write so much but at this time, I feel there are no words you do not already know because of your faith and love you carry for your family and for Kayleigh.
May you find peace and comfort knowing Kayleigh is a perfect little Angel as she always was, but now without the pain.
I'm SOOO very sorry that you've lost your precious angel. I haven't commented much, but I have been following, and have been praying for Kayleigh and for you! My prayer now is for comfort for you, in the faith of seeing her again one sweet day.
Kayleigh touched more hearts in her short time than most people can in 100 years.
I don't know what God's Plan is but I know that the world is a better place for having Kayleigh in it, if only for a short time.
None of her work could have been done without your help, Thank you for sharing her story with the world.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Words can not express the sorrow I am feeling for all of Kayleigh's family. I am so sorry for your loss but I find comfort in knowing that Kayleigh is in the most beautiful place imaginable and is looking down on her family and smiling because she knows she is loved more than anything on Earth.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Rest in peace, sweet Kayleigh...you will never be forgotten.
God Bless.
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this time as you mourn the loss of your precious daughter in this world. May your faith and the support of your family and friends sustain you during the days and months ahead,
From
