A pain that doesn't end  / Erica Mom Of Ayden ((Another mom of an Angel) )
It hurts so much to know that my first born and your miracle child were taken before they left our wombs. I know tomorrow will be a difficult milestone for you . I wish you all the strenght and courage to get through tomorrow along with everyday.I want to thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Close

I am so so sorry  / Kathy Ferguson (passer-by)
I just read Reid's story, and I am so sorry for your loss.  Our family lost our first daughter after our son was born the day before.  We know that God blessed us with T.J. before He took Tiffanie.  But we got to have Tiff almost 9 years before we lost her.  I can't even imagine carrying Reid those months, and then losing him.  He is now with the angels and God.  I hope you know that one day you'll get to see Reid and hold him.  I pray that the children that you have now are the comfort and help you need when days get tough.  3 years after Tiff passed on, God blessed us with another daughter, Tricia.  Tricia gives us an idea of how Tiffanie would have been like, because Tiff had cerebral palsy and was mentally retarded, too.  So she never walked nor talked, and we had to do everything for her.  But now, thank the Lord, she is walking and talking and enjoying everything God has for her in Heaven.  That is what I try to remember when hard days come.  Tiff has a website here if you would like to look her up.  And I would be glad to stay in touch with you through the Internet if you have access.  My prayers go out to you and I pray that God will give you comfort when days are tough.

So sad...  / Leah Altizer (An Old Friend of Mom's )

Sara,
My heart is hurting for you.  I just read your story and sobbed.  I don't really have anything to say that would help you, but I wanted you to know that I share your grief, and I wish I could give you a hug.
Love,
Leah

I feel your pain.  / A. Mother Of 6. (Just a Reader )
I am so sorry for your loss. I too felt the pain of losing a child. ( 4 infact) I have two wonderful daughters ages 2 and 3 and have had 4 misscariges. . I lost my fist child at 16 weeks, and after the 4th misscarrage thought that I was just meant to never have children. I was blessed to have my two babies now, though I have never lost a child so late in term I lost my first at 16 weeks and I wouldn't wish that sort of pain ( emotional and physical) on anyone. The only thing that made it easier was that my mother was there with me, the father was not involved. I pray for your son and hope that you are healing in your hearts. May God Bless you and your son. Enjoy your other babies for they are miracles too.
My Sincere Prayer for you and your family. Close

with love...  / Kelly Allore-Beardshaw (cousin)

I am sending ALL my love to you; Sara and Kenny.  I am so sorry for all you have been through, I wish I could take your pain away.  Reid is truly an angel who will be with you forever.  God bless.

The words of my heart  / Sara Scheid (mother)
I Wanted So Much For You

I wanted so much more for you, my sweet little baby.
I wanted to change your diapers, not my life.
I wanted to nurse you, not my grief.
I wanted to dress you up, not bury you down.
I wanted to hear the sounds of your crying for me at night,
not my own sounds of crying for you,
my innocent, misconceived baby.

I wanted to see you grow, not the grass upon the grave.
I wanted to see you asleep in the crib, not in the casket.
I wanted to give you life, not death.
I wanted to show you off, not alone go on.
I wanted to comb your fuzzy hair, not save a lock of it.
I wanted to pick up after you, not put down my dreams for
you.
I wanted to hold you in my arms, not this doll.
I wanted to walk you late at night, not my fears.
I wanted so much for you,
my newly born, newly gone - child.

I wanted so much more
I wanted so much
I wanted
I wanted you.

This is for you Reid James McMurter (our beautiful angel)  / Connie Thynne (Friends with family )

Reid (A poem from me to you)

Life is full of surprises
You never know what cards you'll be dealt
God decided it was your time to go
It didn't matter how you or anyone felt.

I know that you are at peace now
And down upon us you'll always look.
But for us it's hard to understand
WHY it had to be you God took.

We haven't seen the last of you 
In heaven we shall meet once again.
For there We will be reunited
As a happy family, walking hand in hand.

You are truly the most beautiful little angel
That will be in our hearts forever.
We will love you till the day We die
And Forget about you NEVER!!

You will always be in our hearts love Connie and the kids

Precious angel  / Amy Maddocks
Thank you so much for visiting my son's website.  I am SO sorry for your loss - but I know you will be with your baby again someday.  For us angel mommas that day just can't come soon enough!  God bless you and your family - you are in my prayers. Close

Your Angel  / Kathie Briggs
What a heartbreaking story. It is hard to understand why a child that could be born into a loving home did not make it. Then children that are healthy are put into abusive homes. There has to be a reason and a purpose. I could feel every bit of your pain as you wrote that loving story about your baby. You love them before they are born and it doesn't make it any easier that you did not get to share a life with them. God Bless your family.

Thank you for reading and lighting a candle for Kelsey Briggs. Heaven is full of little angels.

Little Angel Boy  / Donna Lezdey (Friend)
My Mom is a survivor, or so I've heard it said.
But I hear her crying at night when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom, who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...a smile of disguise.
But through Heaven's door I see tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom...through Heaven's open door.
I try to tell her that angels protect me forever more.
But I know that doesn't help her or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart that time won't ever heal~!
