Bella passed away this morning in my arms around 3:15 am on her 9 month birthday. There are no words for now to describe the pain, shock & void that we are feeling at this time. We pray for peace and continued faith that the Lord will carry us thru this time. Thank you all for your prayers. We will update soon with information on her service.

I am complete strager but came to know about Bella through a friend's note on facebook. I have two kids and are prefectly healthy but I dread even a thought of losing any of them God forbid. I know how difficult it is just to think about it, I can feel how difficult it would be for you to live through it. My prayers go out for you and your family. May God giv eyou strength for this impossibly difficult time.

ReplyDeleteGod bless Bella, both of you, and your family. My daughter and I have prayed for Bella every night for the past 9 months. I pray today for your peace. It is a comfort to see your faith in God. I know that He is cradling her right now in the palm of His hand and promising you to take care of her. She was a special little girl who was loved by so many who followed through Facebook and your continued posts. God bless Bella!

ReplyDeleteJust got the word through Belmont UMC's notice. I am saddened for you all. I know so much of her life was a gift to you, but that does not lessen or change your grief. Please know your church family is lifting you in prayer that God's grace and peace will give you comfort even as you question and mourn.
ReplyDeleteTelisha & Chris, I do not know you personally but I went to high school with Yolanda. I heard of your loss and came here to read your blog. As I sit here and wipe tears from eyes after reading about your BEAUTIFUL ANGEL, I want to let you both know that you are in my prayers. As a parent I can not imagine what pain you are feeling. Just know that GOD is walking with you both in this time of grief and always. I'm sorry for your loss. Just know that prayers are being said for you and your family from all over the world. God Bless!

I was so saddened to hear about Bella. You had a tough little fighter who gave it everything she had... I know how hard the next few days will be for your family. We have been thru the same a little over 3 years ago. We have you in our prayers and I hope that you will be able to find strength in the memory of your sweet girl and the love she brought to your hearts.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful Arabella. Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

For the days and weeks ahead we pray for your strength and peace in the memories you have created with little Bella over the last 9 months - your amazing faith will bring you to each new day. With love and prayers to you both, Dylan, Cal & Joy and the rest of your families...
