If you are unable to attend, we truly thank you for caring about our Emma. She was such a joyous child. You will never know how much your support & prayers have meant to us over the last 9+ yrs. It was such a difficult decision to let her go, but there is peace that she is whole and happy now!
Much Love,
The Georges
Oh, dear friends, you have my prayers for comfort and happy memories. Emma was special, and though I know your hearts break with the missing of her, I know she rejoiced in meeting Jesus in heaven at Easter. Right now she is laughing and saying, “I can’t wait until you get here! If you only *knew* what it is like up here!!”
Peace be to you.
Praying for you and your family as you miss your sweet girl. May her celebration service be beautiful and joyful reminder of her life. Praying that you find comfort knowing she is in the arms of her loving heavenly Father.
Dear Heather, I have been a long time off and on reader of your blog. I just wanted you to know that you and your family will be in our prayers as you mourn the loss of your sweet Emma Grace.
This poem is just coming out for you… Grace and peace.
Emma Grace
the light of Jesus
shines on your face
you held your own
while you were here
we held you tight,
we held you dear.
We knew your time
might not be long,
In your frail weakness
the Lord was strong.
Little Emma, full of Grace,
you’re dancing now
in the light of His face.
Psalm 30:11-12
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for sharing your faith and your lives with us. Praying the Father’s continued comfort and peace over your family. You are so loved!
Heather, your family has been in our prayers for years and we’ll continue to pray for your strength to get through this time, May the service of celebration for Emma Grace’s time here on earth be a time of joyous memories for your family and all those in attendance. I know your strong faith will carry you through.
I don’t have words to express my heart other than I am praying for you all. ~Jessica
I am aching for you and so wish I could be there in person to hear all the incredible stories of your angel!!!
I am so sorry dear Emma Grace had to leave too soon.
Sending HUGS and LOVE!!!!
I am praying for you and your family.
Praying still for you and Mark and the children. Grandparents too who are watching and hurting with you. What wonderful parents you were and ARE. You have given your children a heritage of strength and love.
Dear Heather and Mark, my heart is broken and sad to hear about Emma Grace. What a special day to go to heaven on Good Friday , along with Jesus.. may you and all of the family find peace and love from us.. hugs, Baba
I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying and sending good thoughts for you and your whole family. I am sorry.
Heather, I am praying for you and your family right now. I am so sorry…I know your mama heart is broken. But, I also know your mama heart is encouraged that sweet Emma got to run into Jesus’ strong arms on Friday. Thank you for sharing your journey.
My prayers will be with your family on Saturday.
Oh Heather I am so so sorry. My prayers have been with you since your tweet on Friday. I know the Lord will comfort and sustain your family during this very hard time.
Your precious little girl is with Jesus. No more suffering, only joy. “…consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18 You will be with her again. I am praying for you. God bless you.
I am so sorry Heather. Praying for comfort for you and your family. Thank you for sharing your faith and your sweet Emma Grace with all of us. Praying for the ache you are feeling. Lifting you up in prayer.
Continuing to pray for your sweet family. I know He knows your deep pain and loves you all in ways that will make more sense some day.
I don’t have words to take away your pain, although I wish I did. I just read Emma’s story and what odds she overcame! I have a little miracle myself and I wish I could hug you oh so tight even though we are strangers. Loss is such an intensely personal thing, I lost my only sister when she was 15. Praying, praying, praying.
I will be praying for you as you celebrate Emma’s life and in the days ahead!
I will be praying for you and your family in the days to come. Thank you for sharing Emma with me. I will keep following you and your family. Your faith in God has kept me many times.
Dear Heather,
Emma is in my prayers and your family too

Heather, I am very sorry for your loss. I know I’ve watched Emma in the last few years following your blog. I will be praying for your family and thinking of you on Saturday.
Tears still freely flowing…I loved Emma and never met her face to face. But I will one day. And I will hug that child so tightly! God is holding you fast, my friend. And you and I? We shall meet this side o’ heaven. Until then, I have you in my heart. I love you so–and am heart-sad with you and your family…with His joy inside still bubbling. Hope faileth not!! Love you, Heather, Holly
Just said this prayer for you, Heather, Mark, family & friends of Emma Grace

May you know that you are not alone. From your friends in Christ Jesus.
Thanks to Holly for sharing and found your website today.
God bless you and your family and give you strength and peace like only he can. I know words are not enough but I pray they help. Much love in Christ to you and all of yours!!!!!!!!
Praying for you and your family! I also have a daughter named Emma Grace. That will remind me to keep praying for you.
Love Nan’s poem !
Emma’s life has touched so many thanks to your diligence to write here! Praying for you and your family! And thanking God for Emma’s life!
2Th 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Amen
I can not imagine your pain, but if the certainty of Emma daughter with God comfort your soul.
Hi Heather,
I followed the link from We Are That Family, to find out how to better pray for you and your family. Imagine my surprise when I saw that you and I live in the same town! This may seem trivial to you with all that you are going through, but I feel an even stronger need to pray for you now. If you attend Resoration, I know you are surrounded by much love and support. May my stranger-friend prayers bring comfort to you as well.
Lisa
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family will be in my prayers.
You have no idea who I am and this is my first visit to your blog, but I want you to know that you and your loved ones are in my prayers!
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Emma. There is so much love in your words here in your posts. She was loved so well. I am praying for your family.
I heard of your loss through the 5 Minutes for Mom website.
Please know that my heart goes out to you & your family and I pray that God wraps each of you in His loving arms at this time & brings you all peace & comfort.
thinking of you
I have read your blog for years . . . wept and rejoiced through it. I’ve not been on my computer much in the past week because, also on Good Friday, a dear friend of mine, only 37 years young, went to be with Jesus after fighting colon cancer for nearly 2 years. So, I was shocked when I read your blog tonight to read your Emma also arrived in heaven the same day. Ohhh, my heart aches with you, because I know your mama heart. I have buried two children – a still born daughter & a 16 year old son. No, you will never be the same, and you will ALWAYS miss her, and there will ALWAYS be a missing part of your heart gone with her. Give yourself as much time as it takes. Know God wants to help fill that void with peace and understanding. You WILL find a new normal. You won’t get over Emma – but will get through this. And know too, you and your husband & children will grieve differently. Give lots of grace, forgiveness, and love.
And let others carry you in prayers, help and serving as long as you need it. You are precious to Him – always.
Praying for you this coming day.
Praying for you and your family and wishing you comfort that only God can give.
what a great celebration today! We are so glad we were able to go. We love you guys SOO MUCH!
Dear Heather,
I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of and praying for you all today. May God continue to hold each of you tightly, may His love and peace uphold you. I pray today was a celebration of a beautiful life and a beautiful girl who was loved by so many, some of whom like myself never even met her. God bless you and your family Heather.

Dear Sweet Heather,
I am like so many others. I have read your blog for several years. I have rejoiced many times reading your blog, like the time your sweet children made you and Mark a video. Oh, how I LOVED that post! I watched that video over and over. How blessed you are to have children that love you so much. Also I’ve cried many times reading your blog. Even though it’s been so hard to see your trials, it has also been encouraging to see your faith and realize once again that Jesus said He would NEVER, NO NEVER leave us or forsake us. You and your family are a blessing to me. I don’t know any of you personally, but I really love you all. While I was going about my daily life today, I thought and prayed for your family. Little, precious Emma is such a treasure!!!
Love always,
Ann Parker
Oh I am SO sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. So glad you got to enjoy her for awhile.
Dear Emma,
you will always be in my heart
Christine
I am thinking of Emma today, praising God that she is home in the arms of her Savior. I know your heart is hurting, but Emma is whole and healed and loved and rocked in the arms of LOVE right now. Bless you and your family, bless the God of Emma and us all. Emma, you touched our hearts, and continue to shine. Godspeed!
May God be with you in the days ahead. I just recently got to know about Emma and your family through The Lighthouse of Prayer and have prayed for all of you then and now. God’s love is unfailing and He will be with you through every step of each day.
My heart weeps, weeps, weeps for you and your family.
May God give you strength (I know He will.) And because of His promises, you know you’ll be together in Paradise one day, rejoicing with the One. And until then, I beg Him to sustain you all.
With my heart, I am so sorry.
