Jess and Rodney we are sorry that Abby lost her battle. We can not say we know how you feel or what you are going through. Just know Abby brought hope, strength, and courage to even those she did not know. Though she is now with the Lord, her spirit and smiles will always be here with all of us, for she has taught us all not to give up.

Kathy Lillo Sanchez - Sep 2, 2010

Rodney & Jessica, GOD must have known you two were the right parents for Abby. You have endured so much the past few months & yet still was able to give in the end. It must be awesome to know Abby lives on not only in YOUR HEARTS but in the heart of another little angel. That beautiful little angel now rests in GOD’S ARMS peaceful & well. I pray you both & your families can find peace in that. GOD BLESS & the love & peace of GOD be with you all.

We don’t know each other but I lost my 10 mos old son Carson 3 weeks ago. So many people who have endured this kind of pain have offered me support, people I don’t even know. I have yet to take them up on it. But I do want you to know that I am thinking about you and praying for you. With Love, Allison Campbell

Sally Edwards - Sep 1, 2010

I am also sooo sorry u have to feel this pain that only us who have lost our children feel, I lost my child and he was my life. There are no words that anyone can say to ever take away your pain but there are us who have lost and know exactly how hard and all the feelings that we also suffered. I always felt like when i talked to someone and tried to ask questions, I felt like i was wasting my time because they didnt understand our horrible ache. But when i can sit down and talk and cry with someone who knows our pain, I feel like i can go on another day. I recived a text with ur daughters picture and she looked like an angel, it has been sent all over asking for prayers for u and you family.

Dawn R. Mackey-Wilson - Sep 1, 2010

Jessica and Rodney,
I have thought of you so often over the past couple of months. I have prayed so hard for God to give Baby Abby a new liver and I have prayed for God to give your family strength. I came to know you through my sister Donna and I know she has had a special place in her heart for all of you and that is very easy to see why. Our pastor said on Sunday that you only lose something if you don’t know where it is and although she is gone from you, you know where she is. God be with you and bless you all. I would like to leave you with something I found…
Daddy please don`t look so sad,
Mommy please don`t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
Please do not try to question God,
don`t think He is unkind.
Don`t think He sent me to you and that
He changed His mind.
You see, I am special
and I`m needed up above.
I`m the special child you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I`ll always be there with you.
So watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that`s gleaming.
That`s my halo`s brilliant light.
So Daddy please don`t look so sad.
Mommy please don`t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus.
And He sings me lullabies.

Emily Burras-Heyman - Sep 1, 2010

Dearest Abby,
I never got to meet you,
I only saw your face;
The Lord came down from up above,
And took you in His embrace.
You were only here for a little while,
Spreading your joyous light;
To us who didn’t know you,
Still you gave us pure delight.
The smile seen in your eyes,
Despite your trials and tribulations;
For one so small and young
The Lord is your final destination.
As we are waiting here,
Our hearts are filled with pain;
One day we will be near,
Never to cry again.
Jess and Rodney this is for your beautiful little girl who touched the lives of so many. My heart grieves with you as I too know the pain you are now facing. (Montana was 10 months old to the day, she would have been 6 this year.) Abby will never hurt again, and be happy always. She will watch over you and yours, as my little one above does for us. You will meet again, and it will be a joyous occasion. I will not lie and say, that the pain goes away. I will only tell you it does get easier, and you will be together again. All my love, thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do, please feel free to call on me. I am here in Willard. God Bless you all.

Barb Gerber - Sep 1, 2010
