  1. I’m so sorry for your loss but I am glad you got at least a little bit of time with her. Just rest knowing she’s in heaven with Jesus.

  2. I just want to express my sincere sympathy to you and your family Shay, including your Mom. What a sweetheart Evelyn is and I’m so glad you got to hold her in your arms at least for a short time and express your love to her outside the womb as well. You have another loved one to look forward to seeing in heaven. May our Lord comfort you as only He can today and in the days ahead as you ponder what might have been. He doesn’t make mistakes as we know but being human the pain of loss is fierce. I will be praying for comfort for all of you. In His care, Beth Dosdall

  3. So sad for you all!! Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you in this painful time.

  4. When you entered heaven’s gates, God smiled & said welcome home Evelyn Grace. You will not be forgotten.

  5. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Lord, help us to fix our eyes on you. Please bring this family comfort and peace that only You can provide. We know that You grieve with us and share in our heartbreak. You comfort those who mourn. Please be with this family as they mourn sweet Evelyn. You are our refuge and our strength. Your understanding is infinite. Thank you for her time here on this earth with us Lord and the impact she has had. Thank you Lord, that You have promised to carry our pain and that Your grace is sufficient every day. God, give the family hope for the day they will hold Evelyn again and hold them close until that day comes. Much love to you , Shay, Stephen and Wyatt. You are frequently in my thoughts and prayers. Love you dear friends.

  6. For all old things shall pass away, and all things shall become new, even the heaven and the earth, and all the fullness thereof, both men and beasts, the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea; and not one hair, neither mote, shall be lost, for it is the workmanship of mine hand. May your reunion with little Evelyn Grace be joyous.

  7. Sweet Evelyn, we will always remember you. What a blessing you are and will continue to be to those who knew you, prayed for you, and loved you during your life here on this earth.
