Oh! my I am so sorry to read this. I had Bella in my prayers. I will uphold her parents before our all powerful God. I pray they will be surrounded and enfolded in His loving arms and feel His grace, mercy and grant them peace.

Thank you for informing us. God bless all who have worked with this little child. God has another angel in heaven.

Love and blessings Chris

I am so sorry to hear the sad news of Bella's passing, and my heartfelt sympathy goes to her parents and family; prayers for
strength and acceptance of the Lord's will going out as I type.
The Ronald McDonald House does such a wonderful service providing shelter and care to the families of severely ill children.

Janet, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Bella Grace and I will continue to pray for the family.

Here is something that you might pass along to Justin & Hope - it might help them:

I believe that your sweet Bella Grace did not die, I believe she was taken home. Taken home to the God who had only months before given her to you. And that's how it is with our children. They are gifts from God, his children shared with us, for an hour, a couple months or a lifetime, with us as long as they need to be, away from him no longer than they need to be. Sent down here to do what they need to do, and then to go home. To a home where we will one day join them.

Maybe babies like your daughter sweet Bella Grace forego this earth life in order to help us in a way we cannot hear and comprehend.

Whatever the reason, however incomprehensible to us it may be, we must have faith that it makes sense to God, and that it serves his purpose, that it is motivated by his perfect love for us and based on his perfect understanding of us. He knows what is best, and he knows that what seems catastrophic from the limited perspective of mortality may actually be a great gift from the perfect perspective of eternity. We may find out in heaven that our greatest trials in this life were in fact our greatest blessings.

A daughter such as sweet Bella Grace whose time in mortality was spent in the womb of her mother and the arms of her father. She knew little of this earth life, but what she did know was the strong arms of a loving father and the nurturing warmth of a loving mother. It was brief, but it was precious, and it was enough. Enough to hold her until the day of reunion.

I pray that it, and your faith, will be enough to hold you until that day.

I know that the Lord puts no burden on our backs that we cannot carry. He asks nothing of us that we cannot do. There is no impossibility in this life. And I know that this crushing cross you are called to bear is within your abilities, but just barely. I know it can be done, if together you take the hand of the Lord and walk out into the realm of faith.

With this I will be praying for acceptance of God's will for them. Thank you for keeping us informed.

Janet, I'm so sorry to hear about Bella Grace. I wrote earlier but the site went down for some reason. I won't repeat what I typed since I can't remember it all. LOL... I just pray that Justin and Hope will lean on Jesus to help them through this difficult time they are going through. We don't understand what God's Plan is, but we do know it is PERFECT. Right now that doesn't seem right or comforting but GOD IS GOOD. His Mercies are everlasting. Because of HIM giving His SON, Justin and Hope have the opportunity to see Bella Grace one day. This should be a comfort to know. Praying for a touch from God during this time. Hugs, Terre

I am so sorry for Justin & Hope, but God in His infinite wisdom knows what He is doing. Our finite minds do not understand His reasons yet He gives us the Grace to accept. I pray for peace in their hearts & comfort for them.
