  4. Sweetie, you had the most precious moment with little Madeleine on Monday as you nursed and napped. These memories will comfort you for years and years. You reminded me of the incredible healing and mending of hearts and lives that was the mission of your little angels life. Through the lives that Madeleine touched and healed, she lives on and on. Madeleine was a gift to so many of us. Thank you so very much for sharing her. Your strong and loving spirit allowed for us to be touched by her and by you and your family. We have all been truly blesssed and we will never be the same because of this wonderful little angel. Our prayer are with you and our love too. A special hug for little Annalise.
    Love you,
    Cynthia and the girls

    1. I am overwhelmed with sadness of he passing of your Angel Madeleine. Thank you for sharing her journey with us. I am sending love and prayers to you and your family as Madeleine continues on her journey with our Lord and Saviour. There are no words to that can ever take away the pain and sorrow you are feeling. I pray that you can find peace in the joyful memories of this very precious Angel and in knowing she is no longer in pain as she continues on her journey.

  6. I call her Madeleine Sunshine because that's exactly what she is....a big ray of light that shines ever so bright. Living in Washington DC, I hadn't had a whole lot of opportunities to visit with her, I actually was bleesed to meet her just once but when I did, I simply couldn't take my eyes off of her! Those big brown, bright, beautiful eyes had me memorized and from then I was stuck like glue to her spirit. I felt so much love and warmth in her eyes and I couldn't help but fall in love and give her many smiles which she happily reciprocated back! Like many, I rarely remember dreams, but a few months back, not long after meeting Madeleine I had a dream I was babysitting her, it was late and we were both asleep when she woke up and nudged me saying she was hungry for a midnight snack. Without a blink, I picked her up and we headed to the kitchen where I sat her on the table and headed to the freezer to pull out the cookies and cream ice cream....her eyes lit up with a big grin!! I gave her a bite and she laughed sweetly, which made me laugh. After each bite, we laughed and laughed some more and laughed some more where we were in tears! Well, this had went on until we polished off the whole gallon together laughing at the table like old friends for a sleepover. I laughed so much I woke up laughing!! I will forever remember that dream and that laughter together whenever I need a smile and know that she will smile back. Her spirit touched me, and for that I am forever thankful! Veronica hunny, I love you very much. You have been so blessed to birth such an amazing angel that touched lives of many and your strength gives me inspiration, truly!! I am here for you in every way and I am praying for continued hope, light, love and happiness and know without a shadow of a doubt that Madeleine Sunshine is up in heaven already sitting on God's lap. Love, love and more love, Lisha

  8. I am heartbroken by your loss. I found out about Madeleine at the beginning of her journey from my niece's post on facebook. She captured my heart with those beautiful big eyes and shining smile. Her/your journey has been a lesson for me in life and love. Veronica, you are an amazing mother. Thank you for sharing your baby's story with us. She has her angel wings and is now watching over all of you as diligently as you watched over her. Prayers for peace and comfort for you, Jeff, and Annalise.

  9. I followed this blog ever since you guys started it. As a mom I was equally saddened and horrified at the obstacles. This past month I wished I didn't live on the other side of the country so I could hug all of you. I am so sad. My heart goes out to you. But as an angel I'm sure she'll watch over you the rest of your lives. ♥

  18. A Million Times

    A million times we'll miss you,
    a million times we'll cry.
    If loving you could have saved you,
    you never would have died.
    In life we loved you dearly,
    In death we love you too.
    In our heart there is an empty place,
    no one could fill but you.
    It broke our hearts to lose you,
    but you never went alone.
    For part of us went with you,
    when God took you home.
    His garden must be pretty,
    he only wants the best.
    He put his arms around you
    and said: "My child, come home to rest."

    I'm so sorry for your loss my love and prayers are with you... This poem helped me through some tough times... May God bless you...

  19. Baby Madeline & the family have been in my every prayer from the moment I heard of her condition. I have always referred to the blog or asked my family how things are going. I have taken joy in her milestones and cried the tears of sadness. Today is no different, my heart goes out to you as parents. I am praying the Lord gives the strength you will need in the days, weeks, ahead. We can all rest a little knowing that God's gift is resting in his arms tonight and smiling down on you.

  22. I am so sorry. May god give you comfort and strenght during this difficult time. My heart aches and breaks along yours. Madeline has touched my heart in such a special way and I thank you for allowing me to get to know her by sharing her story. She is now in a place where she can finally rest. She will no longer feel pain but rather happiness because she is running and playing with all the other little angels as she smiles down to let you know that she is pain-free now. Praying for your family.
    Love-

  23. My deepest condolences. I too have been following your posts and loved hearing the updates, the ups/downs of everything you as a family have gone through. I can not imagine what your are feeling and if it brings you some comfort, there are many people praying for your family as you go through these next days, weeks, months. May God bring you all comfort is my prayer. God Bless your family.
    Much love, Lisa Bautista

  24. My sympathy goes out to the family of this wonderful little angel!

    Tiny Angel

    Tiny Angel rest your wings
    sit with me for awhile.
    How I long to hold your hand,
    And see your tender smile.
    Tiny Angel, look at me,
    I want this image clear....
    That I will forget your precious face
    Is my biggest fear.
    Tiny Angel can you tell me,
    Why you have gone away?
    You weren't here for very long....
    Why is it, you couldn't stay?
    Tiny Angel shook her head,
    "These things I do not know....
    But I do know that you love me,
    And that I love you so".
