It is inexplicable feeling close to someone you have never met in person but I am finding myself in tears at the keyboard reading the news of Elizabeth passing away. I know you have all been fighting for her and she has been working so hard since the day she was born. I pray peace will rest on your home and in your heart as you grieve in whatever way seems fit to you right now. We will continue to pray for Leigh and belive for the best for her. We will never forget the blessing of Elizabeth and her precious and very special life. Big hugs to you - I wish I had more apt words and a magic wand to wave away this difficult season of life and replace it with ease but I don't....so hugs is all I can send.

Lots of love to you all - Elizabeth was lucky to have been sent to such a lovely family as you and Leigh is lucky to have you now when she needs you most.

I'm so, so incredibly sad for your loss. The news instantly made me weak in the knees and brought tears to my eyes. I'm crying for you. We will never forget your little angel, Elizabeth, in heaven. She lives on in the hearts of so many people who loved her, even in her very short time on this earth. She will forever be watching over you, Dan, Danny and Leigh. You and the babies haven't left my thoughts and prayers since the day we heard you entered the hospital and I promise that I will continue to think of you and pray for you and your family that God brings you comfort. I know that no words can comfort you right now, but I would gladly take a piece of your pain away if I could.
Much love to you all,
Courtney, Jeff & Ava

Lots of Love,
JR, Nick, and Peter

My compassion goes out to you, Dan and Susannah. You have been so courageous for Elizabeth. We are all hoping that Little Leigh will grow to be strong and beautiful like her parents and like her brother. I send you bundles of love and courage from Louisiana.

I am so sorry about Elizabeth. These are the things that happen in life that are really hard to fathom. Please know that I would give whatever I could to take away your pain. It hurts to know that someone you care about is going through the most difficult ordeal a person could ever imagine going through, but not be able to do anything to lessen their pain. You and Dan are beautiful, wonderful people. Lots of love to your family.
