I also vividly remember knowing grief as holy ground. Walk in Him, breathe in Him - baby steps to a place where the pain softens as the rest of His plan unfolds for you & your family. <br /><br />Some comfort for you tonight - a prayer read at my own daughter's funeral:<br /><br />We seem to give Laynee back to you, dear God,<br />who gave her to us.<br /><br />Yet, as you did not lose her in giving, so we have not lost by her return.<br /><br />Not as the world gives, do you give, O Lover of Laynee. O Lover of us all.<br /><br />For what is yours<br />Is ours always...<br />If we are yours.<br /><br />And life is eternal,<br />and love is immortal,<br />and death is only a horizon,<br />and a horizon is nothing but<br />the limit of our sight.<br /><br />Lift us up, strong Son of God,<br />that we may see further, cleanse our eyes<br />that we may see more clearly; draw us<br />closer to you that we may know<br />ourselves, nearer to Laynee, who is<br />with you.<br /><br />And while you prepare a place for us,<br />prepare us!<br /><br />Prepare us for a happy place,<br />where Laynee is<br />and where you are<br />and where we too want to be.<br /><br />Amen<br /><br />Author UnknownAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954106861415671578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809393053053740938.post-58256148767356923832009-11-12T14:32:09.350-08:002009-11-12T14:32:09.350-08:00Karol,
Dont we all wonder what heaven will be like...Karol,<br />Dont we all wonder what heaven will be like? Danielle has said that sometimes when she looks into the sunset in the evenings she always wonders if Laynee is right in there, laughing and waving at everyone looking up at her. <br />Dani and I had to laugh at the picture you posted of her looking through the deck. We think that she just waitin to see us outside and holler. <br />We miss her smiling face and her short little legs sprinting over here!<br />We love you all.<br />KarlaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809393053053740938.post-2302317356640679322009-11-12T08:58:50.454-08:002009-11-12T08:58:50.454-08:00Karol,

There are so many things about heaven that are so hard to comprehend. What I believe with all my heart is that Laynee will be bouncing over to greet each of us when we get there. I can just see her grin!!<br /><br />We love you! We are praying that God gives you a peaceful day today.<br /><br />SusanSusannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809393053053740938.post-90127869746740195122009-11-12T07:28:16.695-08:002009-11-12T07:28:16.695-08:00Karol,

You indicate how good she always smelled. It's funny because a couple weeks ago Chris Aberle and I were in the restroom at church and I smell a familiar scent, I grabed her hands and said "you smell just like Laynee". I'm sure it was that Lavander nighttime baby lotion. I have some in my bathroom right now.<br />There is no doubt Laynee is teaching everyone in Heaven how to do the splits, even Myrna!!<br />We miss here!

As you are talking about Laynee and heaven,...Karol,<br />As you are talking about Laynee and heaven, I had a thought that seems so silly. But, I MEAN IT! I know that we are made perfect in heaven, but I hope that Laynee still has her glasses! It still makes me smile to see her with her glasses, and to remember that she had a favorite hiding place for them. I wonder what gold stone she is hiding them under now?! Maybe she even has placed them by the pearly gates! Who knows, but it is fun to think that maybe, just maybe she still has them. It truly made Laynee, Laynee. What a stinker! I just want to eat her up when I look at the pictures. I am so glad that we have these adorable pictures to look at and remember our precious angel baby! The little town of Tremont had no idea how blessed we were when she entered our little world. <br />Still loving and still missing her.<br />JodyJodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2809393053053740938.post-77388628474629984952009-11-11T20:08:57.104-08:002009-11-11T20:08:57.104-08:00Karol,
