My husband and I delivered our daughter, Mary Madison (Mae Mae) at 37 weeks in 2003. She lived less than two days and was back transported to me at St. Vincents where we held her for another 10 hours until she earned her wings. Lynette Spruill was a God send and I am so thankful she was with you during that time. Your pictures are beutiful. Sincerely, Carolyn and Clark McCarley

June 30, 2009 - 2:43 pm Suzanne - Sarah - I am a friend of your neighbor, Kelsey Rivera. She shared this site with me because of many reasons; most importantly she realizes how significant Mamie's short life was and wanted to tell people like me about her. I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how you feel. I had a miscarriage recently and it was difficult - I still feel the loss. I’m sure your feelings are this times a million. I hope you will find peace soon. Mamie was a beautiful baby, truly gorgeous and a terrible loss for you and your family. I will think of you often, as the photos your friend took are a powerful image that will stay with me. Please know that your baby’s life will be remembered by many; including people whom you’ve never met.

June 30, 2009 - 5:51 pm Steve Shadid - Sarah & Taylor.... The pictures of Mamie are the most beautiful heartwrenching photos I have ever seen or experienced. They say time heals all wounds... I have struggled with that premise but have come to believe that is in fact true... with the understanding and acceptance that some wounds only eternity heals. You have not lost your daughter, you know exactly where she is..therefore she is not lost... she is more fullfilled than we will ever be as long as we wear our mortal shells... God bless and keep you both until you are all reunited...

June 30, 2009 - 7:15 pm Julie Scarborough - Sarah, Mamie was beautiful!! My heart hurts so bad for you all...it is hard to understand that God has a plan here. Know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you! Love, Julie

July 1, 2009 - 7:37 am Melissa Woodruff - My sweet sister in Christ, a friend of mind told me about your blog. I didn't know if I could watch the slideshow, but I am so glad I did. Mamie was so beautiful. I know our God is faithful and His ways are so much higher than ours. I am thankful for that since I cannot begin to understand why such sweet, innocent babies are taken from this world and their parents. I cannot begin to imagine the pain in your heart. I will pray for you and your family. I love you sweet friend. I hope to someday meet you this side of heaven & hear how God blesses you because of this devastating loss.

July 1, 2009 - 11:15 am Priscilla - Sarah...you and your family are in my prayers. Crystal did a wonderful job capturing your special moments with Mamie. Thank you for sharing the slideshow. I cried more than ever while watching it.

July 1, 2009 - 3:08 pm Miss Bec & Mr. Mac - Sarah, we are so sorry. You are so in our hearts and prayers. Your friend is right; you do have your very own angel in Heaven now. I know Amanda has found your precious little Mamie and adores her. Dear God will hold you tight! We love you...

July 2, 2009 - 7:01 am Kathryn Meyer - Sara and Taylor - My heart goes out to you and your family! God is the only one that completely understands why he felt more compelled to have Mamie live her life with him. He only gives us what we can handle - eventhough this is one of the hardest things to ever handle. God has his arms wrapped around sweet Mamie and both of you. I will continue to keep you both in my prayers! Love to both of you and your family! Kathryn Meyer (Brit's friend from JH days)

July 3, 2009 - 1:11 pm Amy Terral - Sarah and Taylor, You don't know me, but I work with Stephanie Thornton of SRT Photography. She went to Love Affair with you Sarah. Grieving for you, she showed this to me today. Having lost my first child, a daughter 21 years ago, my heart is heavy for you. Please know that I have prayed for you today and as God brings you to my mind in the coming months, I will continue to pray for you as you walk this journey. My heart goes out with love and compassion toward you and all those who love you. amy terral

July 3, 2009 - 6:55 pm Robin - Sweet,sweet Sarah and Taylor, Her beautiful lips, her amazing head of hair, her cute little nose...I know you waited so long to see her, to see what your love created...she is so so perfect. You did know her in your special way, hold on to the way she grew inside you, the schedule the two of you shared, it was real, the butterfly kicks, the hic-ups, the twists and turns,it really was your baby. I know it is unbearable at this moment, It's hard to understand that life can go on. I am crying for you as I write this. Cling to God and His word. It never fails. I am praying for you and your family, you are all such special special people.I have a scripture that has helped me through so many things. I like the Message Bible translation Isaiah 65:17-24. I don't know why, but you, me, and scores of others were chosen to go through this...was it so we would realize what God went through when His own child died for all of us? I promise you God will use Mamie and her memory for a purpose... you can count on that. I want you to know I already count my self blessed by seeing her in your slide show and I will never forget her sweet face and those lips. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Robin Dyer, Britney,I love you, thanks for calling me. I'm available if you need to talk or cry.

July 4, 2009 - 1:05 am Kate Harrison - The Sweet Sarah & Taylor: It took me awhile to watch this slideshow because I felt so much pain for you. I think I wanted to prepare myself, as if that was possible. But then I realized that I would finally get to see Mamie--the beautiful little girl we celebrated and chatted about...the sweet bump of your belly that grew & grew in such an adorable way. I couldn't miss out seeing her! I watched it this evening and while I witnessed your tragedy & wanted to desperately reach out to you and hold you & take care of you, I reveled in the beauty of gorgeous, full lipped, manicured, curly-haired, snuggly Mamie. She brought such a smile to my face and I loved to see both of you in her. When I think of her, as I will all the time, she will always be this beautiful baby, wrapped in your love. Thank you so much for sharing this. You are so beautiful, strong, tender & amazing: Sarah & Taylor are incredible and an inspiration.

Know that you are loved and cared for. Kendy

I watched your slideshow of your sweet baby Mamie. She was just beautiful. I pray that God continues to comfort your family and give you peace. He will help you through this difficult time in your life. God Bless You.

July 17, 2009 - 4:34 pm Sarah Shalley - Sarah, This is one of the most beautiful, touching things I have ever seen. What a powerful song and story you've told with your lives. I am heartbroken for you. My great-grandmother's name was Mamie, precious girl your daughter was! I pray that your hearts heal. Sarah

July 18, 2009 - 2:13 pm Sam Marquard - Sarah and Taylor, That was the most amazing slideshow I could have ever imagined. I know I am late in commenting, but know that I ache for you and taylor and hope you are finding comfort in each new day that passes. Your little girl is beautiful and I know how much she is loved. Mike and I lost a little one earlier this year earlier in our pregnancy, but I know the heartache of the loss of a life that could have been. Cherish her memory every day. We love you.

July 22, 2009 - 9:23 pm aubrey hansen smith - there are no words to say. she is beautiful! you all are in my thoughts and prayers. God does amazing things through the hardest situations. much love

July 25, 2009 - 10:04 pm Sarah - Sarah and Taylor: I cannot imagine what this day was like for you. So much now is so different from what you had hoped and my heart breaks for you in that pain. What I can't keep from seeing is the power of love that surrounds sweet Mamie, you and Taylor, and that is so obvious in the comments of this blog post. Sweet Sarah, I wish I knew the right words to say to ease your pain and to fill that space in your heart that can only be filled with the beautiful Mamie. From one mom to another...my heart aches for what you've lost...and at the same time swells with love and compassion for you because I know that the depth and width of the love you now know has changed you forever. And that is a beautiful thing that only Mamie could have done.
