Matthew's service was so beautiful today. There were lovely flowers and a wonderful slide show with pictures of Matthew. He was an absolutely adorable baby! My heart broke for Tricia, I have seen too many friends suffer the loss of their children. It's just not fair. Parents aren't supposed to bury their children. Ever. I ache so badly for her.
Please continue to pray for the Litchfield family... this is when they need it most. Family will leave, friends will get back to their lives and Jeff, Tricia and Hailey will be left wondering what to do next... wondering what the word "normal" is supposed to mean for them. No hospitals, no doctor visits, no medications to give or fevers to worry about... but so much sadness... and emptiness. Please pray that they can feel the Lord carrying them through this time.
Cancer sucks.

So heartbreaking...I cannot even begin to fathom their pain and emptiness. The family will be in my prayers. Glad you were able to be with them today. You are awesome in that you can accomplish so much in one day's time!
I really hate this :-(
Matthew is fine but his family has the rest of their lives to miss him...
Bittersweet day for me too, it's my late mom's birthday.
I cant even imagine what today was like for everyone. My heart aches for them :(
I can relate...today makes 6 months since Sierra died. You never get over it...just through. They need to rely heavily on God and just take things one minute at a time. They are in my prayers. Cancer sure does suck!!
Love,

Prayers to them and God's peace in Him.
I have prayed for the Litchfields all day. I can't even imagine their heartache. Cancer steals too many children! Cancer sucks!
:-(
Cancer does suck!!! My prayers are with the Litchfields and all other family and friends, who were very close to Matthew.
Know that I'm always here praying!
Psalms 116:6-9 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

My heart just breaks. I thought about the Litchfields probably a hundred times today. I will be sure to keep them in my prayers.
Thinking of him and his family!
The service was beautiful! Such a tribute to a hero. My heart broke for Tricia and Jeff. They are so gracious and humble. We WILL hold them up! How could we not?
Hugs,

I am so sad about Matthew and so glad you could attend his service.
I am praying so hard for the family now and forever.
My heart has been with them all week. I'm wearing my UK Wildcats sweatshirt in his honor. Many prayers.
