I found out about Julia on the monday following graveside services and so I am sorry I missed it. Thanks for letting us have a little part of your family while she was in to NICU. Julia was such a fiesty fighter to the end and I enjoyed taking care of her. My toughts and prayers continue to be with you at this time as you are comforted.

I was just telling a co-worker about the experience I had with you and your girls that day in Ice-Cream and Isolettes class when I got to take you guys in and peek through the window at the baby. She was so tiny, and the image of her beautiful self, and vibrantly kicking legs is honestly forever burned into my memory. It during the telling of that story, that a NICU nurse overheard me, and she knew instantly it was your beautiful family. That is when she told me the news. I just wanted to express my sincere condolences and let you know that your beautiful family has made such an impact on me in just the two or three short visits that we had together. May God bless you in your grief, and on any future journey that you all have. <br />Warmest regards,<br />Casey Davis<br />Child Life Specialist<br />McKay Deethe bonzoodles.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11150538012707330206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342653499277000726.post-11240998387823909652011-03-01T11:21:39.197-08:002011-03-01T11:21:39.197-08:00Sweet Alyssa said in primary Sunday that knowing h...Sweet Alyssa said in primary Sunday that knowing her family can be together forever and hugging you (Erin) makes her happy. Oh, how much you have been through. I hope you don't mind my referring my cousin to you-- our whole family went through the straining faith and prayers on sweet little Dexter's behalf not long ago and I was inspired by Monette's faith, as I'm inspired by yours. You were glowing with peace on the day of the viewing. I'm so glad I got to meet Julia.

I wish there was something I could do for you, but know that the best I can do is pray for you to be comforted. You guys are so special and we all love you so much. That is so wonderful that all of you could at least hold her before she passed on.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455327911797732469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342653499277000726.post-33508871648265380002011-02-26T05:12:48.961-08:002011-02-26T05:12:48.961-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342653499277000726.post-56836087517684518582011-02-26T05:08:41.487-08:002011-02-26T05:08:41.487-08:00I just found out about your blog today at work and...I just found out about your blog today at work and wanted to take this opportunity to tell you have much I enjoyed taking care of Julia and visiting with you two.

I have been reading his book "Hold on the light will come". He explains the reasons for each song that he has written. He wrote this particular song for some friends of his that lost one of their sons in a car accident. But he says, "The question was no longer about how well the music was crafted, but rather how tenderly it might comfort those who needed someone to stay, just until their hearts recovered." Here are the words to the song "Stay with me". I hope it brings you some comfort. "No one ever can be certain what another day will bring, So dim the lights and raise the curtain, The cast is waiting in the wings.<br />Life goes on and on forever. And though deep down inside I know, I'll have her back again, I'll still be lonely until then. <br />And Lord, I need you - To stay with me just until my heart recovers. <br />Stay with me, it's a lonely thing to suffer. Tell me how the heartache I feel now will go away someday.<br />Maybe we just might find the answers that will carry me- like an awkward dancer on a crowded floor. I'll learn to dance once more someday If you'll just stay....And Lord, I know that you will stay." <br />Thinking about you and your cute family! <br />Taramomscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519201892819110182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342653499277000726.post-11341393001627691612011-02-25T22:04:41.768-08:002011-02-25T22:04:41.768-08:00We are so sorry for your loss.

She referred me ...I'm Miriam Deru's cousin. She referred me to your blog because we were where you are not quite 2 years ago. We lost our little 3 month old Dexter. Prayer is powerful. God's promises are real. The plan of salvation is true. And the temple is a place of refuge. Here's my blog post that corresponds to this one of yours: http://dahlelife.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html<br /><br />I remember being at the temple not long after he died and thinking about D&C 138, about how Dexter was serving as a missionary in the spirit world. I thought of the mission I served and the excitement at seeing someone you've taught get baptized, and remembering the sadness when someone we taught accepted the gospel but couldn't get baptized for about 4 more years because he was on probation. Then I thought of Dexter teaching someone the gospel up there, and just wishing and hoping that someone would do the work for this person he'd taught who had just accepted the Gospel. I felt that as his mother, I could actually support my son on a mission by doing work in the temple. And it made me feel so close and connected to him. I don't get to support our little Spirit World missionary by writing letters and sending packages, but I can do work for the dead in the temple. It was a powerful learning experience for me. <br /><br />Feel free to contact me if you want to talk to someone who's been there.<br />--Monette DahleThe Dahle Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623484462212378204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342653499277000726.post-4159499457347889822011-02-25T14:00:54.003-08:002011-02-25T14:00:54.003-08:00bill and erin we are so sorry and continue to keep...bill and erin we are so sorry and continue to keep you and your family in our prayers. we love you.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03976017904308083214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342653499277000726.post-17726496618658802562011-02-25T12:34:56.558-08:002011-02-25T12:34:56.558-08:00Words fail to express the love and feeling at this...Words fail to express the love and feeling at this time.
