Early morning, Friday May 29th, Mabel Audrine peacefully left my arms on this earth for the arms of her Maker in paradise. Our hope of Heaven has provided us a deep peace and we are grateful for the undending rest that Mabel has received and wholly deserves. Because of her pure heart, Mabel knew the way to the place Jesus has promised for all of us and we are confident that her life and legacy will leave all who knew her with a great assurance of a beautiful, spotless eternal home. A place where our girl now lives, free of her disease.
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you may also be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."
-John 14:4
We want to thank you for your love, kindness, prayers and condolences over the last couple of days. Many have asked about services for our girl. Our family privately laid her to rest Friday evening in the most intimate way with her siblings and her tiny friends releasing yellow balloons in her honor. We know many of you want to show your love and support to our family. Please consider honoring Mabel by making a memorial donation to the bdsra in her name.
At this time please continue to respect our privacy; we have felt nothing but peace in the quiet with one another.

Praying and sending much love to your family during this time.
So sorry for your loss. I had a feeling yesterday that Jesus took her Home. Sending your family love and hugs.
Prayers to your whole family. Lots of prayers.
I have followed your blog for years. Never met and probably never even commented. I have ached along with you on this journey, and looked forward to your well-written posts and zest for life and God and family. I literally gasped when I saw this post. Though it was not a shock, it still was. Little Mabel. I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your sweet daughter, and for all that you have been through with her and I'm sure would gladly do again for a chance to have more time with her. I pray she is dancing in the sky and that you and your family can feel her spirit every day. Blessings and prayers to you all.
May God's peace and comfort soothe the ache and loss that you so acutely feel for your dearest Mabel.
O Lord Who watches over children in the present life and in the world to come because of their simplicity and innocence of mind, abundantly satisfying them with a place in Abraham's bosom, bringing them to live in radiantly shining places where the spirits of the righteous dwell; receive in peace the soul of Your little handmaiden Mabel, for You Yourself have said: "Let the little children come to Me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
I am truly sorry for this loss, but I am glad you are at peace knowing that Mabel is with Jesus now.
You have been constantly on my heart and in my prayers since you posted the news. Praying for peace for your family.
My heart sunk seeing this post. I've followed you for three years now and have been praying for you and your family all along the way. You are an incredible testimony to me, as a young Christian, for so many beautiful Christ like traits. I admire you and your family so much. May peace come over all of your hearts. Sending many hugs and prayers. x

I've been following your blog since right around the time Mabel was born...before she showed any signs of being sick. I remember looking at her first pictures, thinking, "My God, that child is beautiful. Her eyes belong to an old soul." And every picture from there on out, I saw Mabel the way I saw her that day...simply beautiful and clearly a gift from Heaven. I fell behind on my blog reading this summer and was trying to get caught up when I saw one of your posts. My heart sank...no, I literally felt a pain in my heart; it didn't just sink. I know that I don't really know you, but the way you mothered Nora, Braden and Mabel was always an encouragement to me: you showed the good parts and the easy parts but you also shared the hard days with us. Every mother understands the hard days. Your advocacy for your sweet girl was...big, so big. I am so sorry for your loss but I celebrate the Well-Mabel that is with Jesus. Please know that I will pray for your heart and for Nora's heart and Braden's heart.
