I'm so sorry for your loss. But the Bible says "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." I'm sure He was there to welcome her with open arms.

Richard, Lael, Bliss, Jake, Emma and Bubble - our love pours out for you at this time of sorrow. Anna is home now but you will miss her presence. May you be comforted in a way you have never before experienced. May the Grace of our Lord Christ be with you now.

Sorry, words don't seem adequate.

May the Lord Jesus surround all of you with His peace and comfort today. We know that Anna is in a far better place, in a far better body. We all will see her and our other loved ones soon. God bless you all.
Sis Pat

My deepest condolences to you. Words cannot express how much my heart goes out to your family. Anna will continue to live on in your hearts each day and even though her time here on earth was short, the memories she made with you will last forever. God Bless and be with you 'til you all meet again.

Thank You Jesus for healing Anna. Bro.Richard & Sis.Lael and entire Grylls household, Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. May Jesus give you supernatural strength and comfort.God Bless each of you. Bro.Taze, Sis.Tiera and Family.

their is relief and sadness. The deep care given her will ease the pain of her passing for those who cared for her.

1. A country where no twilight shadows deepen,
Unending day where night shall never be.
A city where no storm clouds ever gather,
Now this is just what Heaven means to me.
CHORUS:

What will it be when we get over yonder
And join the throng upon the glassy sea?
To greet our loved ones and crown Christ forever,
Oh, this is just what Heaven means to me.

2. And when at last we see the face of Jesus,
Before whose image other loves all flee.
And when they crown him Lord of all I'll be there,
Now this is just what Heaven means to me.

CHORUS:

3. A place where there is no misunderstanding,
And from all enmity and strife we're free.
No unkind words to wrong the heart are spoken,
Now this is just what Heaven means to me..

Anna has received her reward! I know God will give you all strength in the days ahead as that will be our prayers. We will all miss Anna!!!! Thank you Jesus for making Anna well! Love and prayers!

i am so very sorry for your loss.

Jesus is rocking her in his rocking chair now!!! love you guys!!!

I am so sorry, may Anna be in peace.

As someone said earlier, all the words in all the languages would not be enough to express how sad this all is. Just know that she is at peace and not suffering now.

Ironically last night my wife was catching up on shows she had recorded and one had this quote in it that fits:

There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Know that we all loved her and that love extends to your family

Don't think of her as gone away -
Her journey has just begun
Life holds many facets
The Earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And she was loved so much.

Your family will be in my thoughts

Revelation 21:1-7

The New Heaven and the New Earth

21Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
‘See, the home* of God is among mortals.
He will dwell* with them;
they will be his peoples,*
and God himself will be with them;*
4he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away.’

5 And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ 6Then he said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life. 7Those who conquer will inherit these things, and I will be their God and they will be my children.

Lord BLESS YOU YOU'RE IN MY PRAYERS

My heart is broken for the loss of Anna. I know that she's healed totally and running around laughing with the angels.
When we lose someone we love it's those of us left behind that suffer. I'm so glad that Anna isn't struggling to live anymore, now we must learn to live without her. I never knew her but she's been such a part of my life for the past year that I feel like I've lost someone also. We've all lost someone so incredibly special that words will never express.
May the Lord keep you,
My prayers

I am so sorry for your loss. I began this journey on thoughts when I found a link to Anna's story. Such a beautiful little angel, now dancing in the house of God. May your beautiful memories of Anna sustain you until you meet again.

peace shemelts

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Bro. Richard & Sis. Lael,
Our hearts hurt for you and are lifting you and your family before the Lord for strength during this time. May God bless you! I know if she could talk to us now, here's what she'd say to us . . .

Wish you were here
It's such a beautiful place
Wish you were here
Nothing but clear sunny days
It never rains
And no one complains
And we haven't seen a tear
We're having a great time
Wish you were here...

My condolences to the family. In time you all will be at ease, just as she is now.

I'm so sorry for the pain you must be in! I can just see that little girl on Jesus's lap and she'll be there ready to run to you and hug you when your also home with the Lord.

I pray the Holy Spirit comforts your entire family and friends that loved this little girl! May God Bless you ALL!

Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences at this time of great sadness. You all fought the good fight, and now it's time to rest. My heart is with you.

Our deepest condolences to you and the family. Anna has been such and inspiration and a testimony to so many people. May God Bless you and may He continue to hold you up through the days and weeks ahead.

Deepest condolences to you and your family.

And I am very sorry for your loss. God bless your family.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Anna was certainly a fighter and now, she is at peace with Our Lord. I pray for strength, courage and peace for you. God bless your family.

Richard, Lael and family,
Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home for the past ten months while I helped you all take care of little Anna. I feel so blessed to have been able to be a part of her short life and to get to know all of the wonderful people surrounding her. Anna's last night on this earth is one I will never forget. The music made last night I'm sure was really soothing for her. Anna always made me smile with her little ways. Like how she would coo in her sleep or make that clicking noise with her tongue, or wiggle around and sigh when I gave her back rubs. I just loved to fix her hair and I think she enjoyed it too because she would calm right down when I brushed it. But one thing she did dislike was that lacrilube! I could always get one of her eyes but she knew what was coming to the second eye so she would always turn her head and wiggle around and make it a little difficult for me! I will greatly miss her and your family. Just know that your family's faith is such an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for the christmas gift. That was very kind of you. You will get yours if I can ever find what I need to finish it. Thank you Sarah for helping me smuggle what I needed out of the house. And don't worry, I gave it back without you all even noticing it was gone! May God bless you always!
Love and Peace,
Stephanie

Our hearts weep...Our eyes leak...for we are mortals....
But we are not a people without hope..."They who sow in tears ...shall reap in Joy...

Look for me for I will be there to"
Our hearts and love are with you at this time...

I have followed your journey from almost the beginning. I believe that my husband and I share our wedding anniversary with you and Lael. That was just one of the things that made your family so special to me. I live in Ann Arbor and go to Bro. Bill Bailey's church. I have prayed for your family so many many times. Over the past couple months many saints have been called home. What a joyous time Heaven must be having. I fully believe that Anna is in heaven with my daughter running down the streets of gold praising God! Thank you for your strength. Now hold your family close and love like you have never loved before. God Bless.

Leah Bullard

Our sincere condolences to the entire family. It has to be one of the hardest things to encounter in life... to lose a child. But, it must be one of the greatest things in life to know where you're loved one has gone and one day you will see her again! I am praying that God will meet you where you are for strength and comfort during this time of Anna's homecoming. God Bless you all!

How do I say what is in my heart right now? I feel your pain, but I also understand and rejoice with you that Anna is no longer in pain. There is a relief, but also sorrow at this time. Do not let the devil torment you about the choices you made on Anna's behalf. You know where she is and that she is in a beautiful and restful place. Without the prophet telling us what it is like, we would not have the peace and assurance that all is really well. We will continue to pray for the whole family. God Bless

Cyndi & Marvin Martin

My heart goes out to your and your family. My God rest his hand on your shoulder and hold your tears in his hand. I take comfort knowing that Anna is now sitting on the lap of our Almighty Father and is at peace and watching over you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in the time of sorrow

Dear Richard, Lael and kids,
I had a dream this morning that when I arrived at your house to do Anna's therapy she came running to me calling my name. When I awoke, I immediately came to the blog and it was confirmed that she indeed was running in her new home. It has been such a pleasure working with Anna and spending time with your family...all the times reading books, playing piano, doing stretches, singing songs, and even playing an occasional "go fish" game with Bubba. I felt a special connection with her and loved her very much. Your family will always hold a special place in my heart. I'll be in touch. God Bless you and give you his peace.
Becky

please accept my sincerest, heartfelt condolences extended to you and your entire family at the loss of your little girl.
you have fought a long battle with courage and the greatest dignity.
i hope that the strength of your faith will bring you the peace that you need in this difficult time.

Dear Grylls family,

our deepest and sincere condolences to your family. Thank you for allowing us into your lives the last 1 1/2 yrs. Your family will always have a special place in our hearts. Anna has been a testimony of Faith, Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Patience, Longsuffering, and God's Saving Grace.

I just wanted to add my sincere sympathy for you and your family. I have seen the beautiful angelic face of your lovely daughter, since the first day I arrived on thoughts. You and your family and devoted friends are remarkable. I have never witnessed such an outpouring of support and love.
My prayers are with all of you!

I know too well what you are going through and my heart breaks. My family is praying for you and your family in this time of sorrow. She and Scottie will ride the winds now...With the angels at their sides...

[Testimony of an experience] "...I was back out West again. I thought I was walking down the prairie and I was whistling a song. "The wheel on the wagon is broken..." You've heard the song. I looked, and there was an old prairie schooner, and the wheel was broke down on it. And I thought, "Well, what do you know." I looked, standing there and there stood a beautiful blond-headed girl, long blond hair hanging down, dressed in snowy white. I had on a great big hat. I took it off and I said, "How do you do, miss." and started walking on.
She said, "Hello, daddy."
I looked around; and I said, "Dad?"
Said, "Yes."
And I said, "Why," I said, "Lady, you're as old as I am. How could you - - I be your daddy?"
Said, "Well, dad, don't you remember? You teach immortality." I don't teach they'll be little bitty babies in heaven. I teach a immortality. You don't get old if you was a little baby when it gets there... Immortality don't decay there.

And she said, "Don't you remember your teaching on immortality?" She said, "Down on earth I was your little Sharon Rose."...
She said, "Yes, there's no little babies up here, daddy," said, "we're all the same age; we're immortal."...
I said, "Honey, you're not Sharon?"
She said, "Yes." Said, "Where's Billy Paul?" That's her little brother.
I said, "Oh, how that she's... Honey, I don't understand it."
She said, "Daddy, you just don't know where you're at."
And I said, "Well, if it... Am I not on the prairie?"
She said, "No. Turn to your right, and look."
And I looked back and there was a great beautiful light coming out of the most beautiful place like I never seen.
She said, "This is heaven, daddy." She said, "Mother's up there at home waiting for you."
And I said, "Home? You mean I--I got a home?" I said, "Honey, there never was a Branham was ever rich and never had a home of their own." I said, "You mean that--that I got a home?"
She said, "But daddy, you got one now."
...
And I said, "Oh, honey, that ain't my home."
Said, "Yes, it is. Mother's looking for you."
I started walking up towards it, singing that song, "My Home." And I thought... The lights was coming up around a great beautiful palace. I walked up the steps, and I looked, coming walking down through there, and here she come, snowy white clothes on, her black hair dripping down around her shoulders, her dark eyes looked like the splendor of youth. She died at twenty-two years old. She come walking down to meet me. She held out her arms. And I run to her real quick and bowed down my head. And I said, "Oh, honey. I don't understand."
She said, "Did you meet Sharon?"
I said, "Uh-huh." I said, "Isn't she a pretty girl?" Didn't she--didn't our little honey, make a pretty girl?"
Said, "She sure is." ...

"There's a land beyond the river... There's a place that we meet again"

Richard, Lael, and each one of the family:

How wonderful and special was God's Presence as we all sang and worshipped together last night at your place. How I am longing for when it is our turn to step into His Presence forever ~ Lord willing in the rapture and SOON! We'll look forward to meeting Anna again. How she was a "China Doll" to us and remains forever!

Each one of you are so special to us and have been such a tremendous blessing to so many. There aren't enough of the right words to explain all that is in our hearts concerning you. May the Lord bless you, give you a special strength and carry you through ~ like only He can.

I'm trying hard not to think you unkind
But Heavenly Father
If you know my heart
Surely you can read my mind
Good people underneath the sea of grief
Some get up and walk away
Some will find ultimate relief

Chorus
Home Free, eventually
At the ultimate healing we will be Home Free
Home Free, oh Ive got a feeling
At the ultimate healing
We will be Home Free

Out in the corridors we pray for life
A mother for her baby, A husband for his wife
Sometimes the good die young
It's sad but true
And while we pray for one more heartbeat
The real comfort is with you

You know pain has little mercy
And suffering's no respecter of age, of race or position
I know every prayer gets answered
But the hardest one to pray is slow to come
Oh Lord, not mine, but Thy will be done

Let it be...

Chorus
Home Free, eventually
At the ultimate healing we will be Home Free
Home Free, oh Ive got a feeling
At the ultimate healing
We will be Home Free

Home Free, eventually
At the ultimate healing gonna be Home Free
Home Free, oh its more than a feeling
At the ultimate healing
Gonna be Home Free

I'm so sorry for your loss......I will pray for Anna and you entire family!!!

I have no words to express my sorrow for you at this time...only my prayers.

I am also sorry for your loss but rejoice as you rejoice in knowing your child is now home and in the arms of her Father in heaven. I celebrate her life with you, though I never truly knew her, and I celebrate her journey to peace and eternal love with you as I know her as my sister in Christ. May God bless you and may you find comfort in knowing that the same arms that are holding her in this moment are also holding you.

May God craddle her in his arms everyday. Eyes closed on earth, Eyes open in Heaven.
I'm very sorry for your lose, even if I don't know you. I pray your family the best.

God bless you,
DC

I know it's silly but I am still drawn here looking for updates. I know there won't be any, Anna is with God now... but my heart can't give up yet.

We have been following Anna's journey, and just wanted you to know what an encouragement your positive testimony has been. Like the song one brother wrote, "I'll die believing the difference the token makes!" Amen. Though we'll never understand the reason why in this life, we are encouraged by the Word that He doeth all things well. Look how many lives little Anna has touched in her short life time!!! Through her parents she has been a beacon and missionary all over the world. Thank you Bro.Richard & Sis. Lael for your positive and strong testimony, what a shining light for the world to see what the Message of this Hour produces. May the Lord fill your hearts with peace, you have run the race for Anna well, she is one more saint on the otherside.... waiting for us.... all the more reason to look forward to the the Lord's soon appearing!!! God bless you.. Leon & Brenda de Gouveia, Cloverdale, BC, Canada

Richard & Lael,
My deepest condolences are extended to you and the entire family. You both are truly amazing and an inspiration to all who have come in contact with you. I am blessed to know you. May baby Anna rest in peace in the arms of the Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family now and always.
Much Love,

May god bless your little Anna and your family. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. May your family find everlasting peace and know that she is now your angel in heaven. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Richard, Lael and Family,
Just wanted to let you know you have been in our thoughts and prayers this past week and our hearts are breaking for you at this time. It is comforting to know that Anna is with Jesus and we will all see her again one day. May God's peace hold you close.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She's at peace now. God bless you and your family.

I have no words... I have silently followed her journey and have prayed for her recovery... my heart goes out to you and your family. Much love in Him.

GARNETT.PEAKE'S.FUNERAL_ CAMPBELLSVILLE.KY MONDAY_ 63-1118
E-4 No matter what I would say about Garnett as I knew him, it wouldn't change our opinion. His life, and his testimony speaks among you all louder than anything I could say.
I'm... My personal acquaintance with him was through his mother. One night, while service was over, at the--my church, she come to me, and she had a son that was dying with polio. I think they'd given up hopes that he could live any longer. Well, many of those calls... We have them. They're just a regular routine. But when I went to see this young fellow, was in an iron lung. There was something about him. As I laid my eyes upon him the first time, I loved him. I love him until today, as I look at him now, and always will.
He was a gallant young fellow. And he seemed like be had something in life that--that meant more than just an ordinary boy, of a teenager just passing through. He had a--a more of a clear understanding of things.

GARNETT.PEAKE'S.FUNERAL_ CAMPBELLSVILLE.KY MONDAY_ 63-1118
E-5 I prayed for him that he would not die. Finally, they taken him from the iron lung, and he was brought home, and was put in some kind of a rocking bed where they kept him breathing.
I come to see Garnett. And what a sweet Christian that that life had developed into, a boy that--that any parent would be proud of.
After all, that's our--that's our journey here on earth. That's what it's for, is to prepare for--for leaving. And Garnett had certainly made this preparation beyond any shadow of doubt: the gallant young man, full of Spirit and life of Christ that reflected right through him. And...

GARNETT.PEAKE'S.FUNERAL_ CAMPBELLSVILLE.KY MONDAY_ 63-1118
E-8 And I looked at him, and my heart just melted. And I said to him, asked him a question. I said, "Garnett, perhaps... What if this had never happened to you?" And I said, "You'd... I was called, say, up here tonight, and there'd been a young boy by the name of Garnett Peake had just got killed out here on the highway with his car, and the boy was drunk, and his soul had gone on to meet God. Or would you just rather keep the scene the way it is?"
He said it, "Just let it be the way it is. As long as I know Jesus the way that I know Him now," he said, "it's more than life even though I have to stay here all my life in this condition." But he said, "I want to show you, Brother Branham, I'm much better."
He could move his arms, and so forth. With great anticipation, he was looking forward to the time that he would be well so he could walk around.
I'm an old man. I've seen much in my days. I don't believe I ever met a more gallant-spirited boy than Garnett. Great hopes for him.

GARNETT.PEAKE'S.FUNERAL_ CAMPBELLSVILLE.KY MONDAY_ 63-1118
E-9 A few nights ago, I'm told that he tooken--taken something like intestinal flu. And it... When he realized that he was going, well, he called for me. And he didn't know at that time I was in New York, at the arena. And when I got out of the arena, the telegram message was given to me. I rushed quickly to a phone and called. But the lovely brother that's taking care of him said, "Brother Branham, Garnett went to meet Jesus at six o'clock."
He's gone from us. We--we realize that. But I wonder if, really, there is such a thing as--as this being the end of it. We're all conscious that the boy is gone from us, his life. But let's think what's next. Is there anything that we could say? Could we ever see him again? Is this the last we're going to see of Garnett?

GARNETT.PEAKE'S.FUNERAL_ CAMPBELLSVILLE.KY MONDAY_ 63-1118
E-10 That's what I want to talk to you about for the next few minutes. Can you be sure that we're going to see him again? Job asked this question, the oldest book in the Bible. He said, "If a man dies, shall he live again?" Is there any proof then that this is so? Could we have any physical proof that this resurrection is so? Yes, I would think so.
If we notice that we are serving the Creator, we realize that we could not be here unless there was something that made us. We cannot just be our--like we are without just--just happening to be, no more than my watch could be a--just as it is with all the jewels and the timing. There was--there's something mastermind behind it that made that watch. And just think of what a human being is that makes the watch. How impossible it would be for the watch to just to happen. And how much more impossible it is that we just happened.

GARNETT.PEAKE'S.FUNERAL_ CAMPBELLSVILLE.KY MONDAY_ 63-1118
E-11 Being a missionary and traveling around the world, I've been acquainted now with (seven times around and--the world)... And thinking of seeing the different religions of the world, and each one of their philosophies, and what they think. And many of them believe in reincarnation and so forth. But the Christian religion is the only religion that has truth, because all creation speaks of Christianity.
Job said, "If a tree dies, there's hopes that it--it will live again. And if a flower dies, there's hopes that it'll live again. But he said, "Man layeth down, and he giveth up the ghost, and where is he?" Job was a man of--a renowned man. He was a--a great philosopher of his day, and a believer, and he had much wisdom. And Satan had desired to--to sift him and try him. And all Christians and believers are tried. Every son that cometh to God must be tried, chastened.

GARNETT.PEAKE'S.FUNERAL_ CAMPBELLSVILLE.KY MONDAY_ 63-1118
E-12 So Job knowing that the Creator made all of His creation, he noticed that in the creation that there was a resurrection of botany life and so forth. But he said, "A man layeth down, he giveth up the ghost, he wastes away, and where is he?" What happened to him?
And then, he saw by a vision the coming of the Just One. He--he knew he was a sinner, and there... The reason the man had to lay down and not rise up, there was nothing could speak for him. He knew that the flower had done nothing. It was brought here for a purpose, and it served God's purpose. And therefore, when the flower died, it could raise again.

GARNETT.PEAKE'S.FUNERAL_ CAMPBELLSVILLE.KY MONDAY_ 63-1118
E-13 But a man had sinned. And there was no way for him to ever rise in the Presence of his Maker. And so in this condition he was permitted by God to see the Just One coming: a Man Who could put His hands on a sinful man and a holy God, and bridge the way: the Son of God.
Then when the Spirit was on the prophet, he cried out, "I know my Redeemer liveth, and at the last days He'll stand upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroys my body, yet in my flesh shall I see God... for myself, mine eyes shall behold, and not another."

It's not how long the flower blooms,
but how beautifully

My prayers are with you during this
time of mourning and remembrance.
Peace.

I am so sorry for your loss...Praise the LORD now we know the Anna lives forever more and we're going to meet her again! may God bless your family and comforter you souls.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I cannot find any words, that I think will truly comfort you.
Just hold on to your faith, and count the days you had with
her, as days of blessings.
She lives on in your love for her.
My prayers are with your fragile emotions.
All Love

My sincere condolences. Her life has great meaning to so many because of your posts. We have come to love her, and admire you and your family. What a gift from such a small child. Thank you.

Richard and Lael, As I read these lovely words, I think what a powerful testimony Anna was in her short life. You have been richly blessed and there are many blessings ahead for you. I am thinking now of the other children and of how Anna will always have such a huge space in their lives. Good night.

Wow! What an impact. You must be awed at how God has chosen to use your family in such a mighty way.

I'm sorry. All the faith in the world can't take all of the hurt, but her life was lived with meaning.

Thank you for continuing to be vulnerable in sharing your life and pain with us. We appreciate your family more than we can say. We will continue to pray that God comforts and heals those whom Anna's passing hurts. We love you and stand with you at this time.

Larry & Deb

It's always sad when a child is lost. But she is suffering no longer. Be thankful that you had the privilage of knowing her while she was here. My condolences to you all.

Your entire family has been in our prayers and will continue to remain so ~ Even though many miles seperate the family she had we are all united in our grief and feel your loss, we also share in the joy of knowing that she is not longer suffering. I am blessed beyond measure to still be alive after the nasty fall I took earlier this summer, It was not my time yet but I sure have a renewed appreciation for each day that I am blessed with. I know you will always cherish the time you had while Anna was here on earth, may she rest in peace and may your family be comforted by Gods love.
God Bless and be with you, Love from Cousin Sarah Johnson and family

My condolences for the passing of brave and sweet Anna.

Farewell

You have slipped away
Peacefully in deepest dream,
Our dear little one

No more suffering,
You’re dancing among the clouds
And waving goodbye.

Young and innocent,
You’ll always be beautiful
In our memory.

Farewell our love one
Mommy and Daddy will pray,
You’ll be in Heaven.

We are with you in our hearts and prayers. Believing that Anna lives forever with our Father and it won't be long until we see all of the Saints again. I truly believe that all of our dear Brothers and Sisters who have gone on are with her and all is well, all is well.

May the Lord comfort you and give you strength and remember He is the calm at the center of the storm.

God bless you,
Shelley, Boaz and Family

Its taken a while for me to finally be able to post. Though I didn't find your blog till recently I have followed everything happening. I'm so sorry for your loss and there are no words to express my sorrow.

She'll be a lot more peaceful now and able to run around like any other toddler but she'll always remember you and when you join her she'll be there waiting with open arms.

Please let us know if there is anything we can do for your family and I'll check back occassionally to see.

Richard & Lael,

I have been following your blogs on here ever since Anna was in the Hospital and I have just sat and cried and prayed for her and you all. I cannot tell you how much my heart just goes out to you and what you are going through right now. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to go through and handle all that you have. You have done so well and have had such Faith that it is utterly amazing. While you have went through all of this it has encouraged so many people to have the kind of faith that you have had. You are so strong that it is amazing. I am so sorry that you have had to go through such a trial to touch so many people at once. If you need anything, even though I am far away, I would be willing to do whatever you needed if possible. I Love you all, You are such a special and wonderful family. I did not know Anna but I along with so many people feel like I know her well. She was a special little girl and I know that Jesus is so happy right now because she is right where he wants her to be. I can not wait until the day that we all join her. I am keeping you all in my prayers as always and I just want to ask if you will kind of keep up a blog here and there to let us know how you are all doing? My heart is with you as if she were my own daughter. I know as a Mother how I would feel right now because I have a daughter (Hannah) who is 3 years old and it always makes me think of Anna! Take care of yourselves and try to get some rest if possible. May God richly Bless you all and lift you up and give you strength to get through this. Love, Christi

I am so sorry for your loss. Please remember we are all praying for you and your family. I wish I could say or do more to help.

Anna has gone home and you will see her again when it is your time to return home.
I wish many blessings to all of your family.

Peace
