Swimming Lessons!
Maddie and I just finished a two week session of "Mommy and Me" swimming lessons. She learned alot from it and is a pro at going under water. Granted, she is still in no shape to be swimming by herself but it was a great introduction of kicking, moving her arms, getting out of the pool by herself, floating on her back, going under water, and passing. We will definately be doing it again next year!

That looks liks so much fun Marlo! I totally want to do a class like that with Michael. It looks like you guys are having a great summer!
Madison is so beautiful. She reminds me of my sister Beth (and Jonathan Walburger's)kids - there is definitely the clear cousin connection. It is so sweet to see such doting parents as you and Jordan. She is obviously a very loved and happy little girl. We met you (Marlo) when we were up for Ben's blessing in Folsom. Beth called us today and we were devastated to hear her words. Words cannot even begin to express our sorrow for your sorrow, sadness and pain. -Sarah

I was one of the nurses in the ER trying to help save your baby girl. I am so sorry for you and this unbelievable tragedy you and your family have to live. Your baby and your situation has weighed very heavily on my heart and I felt I needed to know you better. I found this blog and looked through all the pictures of your beautiful girl who gave you so much love. knowing that there are no words anyone can say to help make the awful feelings go away, My wish for you and your family is to someday be able to forgive each other and not have that pain in your heart forever. I wish for you the best, and know that although we are strangers to each other, your beautiful baby and your family are forever etched in my heart as I grieve for you and what you have lost.
Marlo and Jordan,

I do not personally know your family so I really hope I am not intruding on your privacy. If so, please feel free to delete this posting. I live in Las Vegas and read about your tragedy. On Google, I came across your website. As I looked through the pictures of your beautiful family, I was just brought to tears. I really can't explain why things like this happen, however I do firmly believe that each of us as a plan. The love you had for Madison just exudes off the page and in this life she brought you incredible amounts of happiness. Now she will bestow her love on you in a different way. As a mother, I understand that there are no words that can make this easier for you right now. However, please know that even though we have never met, Madison has touched our lives and I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.

We were so sorry to hear about Maddie. We were physically sick when we heard the news. Derek and I instantly fell in love with her when we met her. We have shared many tears over the past few days and continue to think of you and your sweet little girl. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We will be there by Monday, please let me know what we can do to help with anything. We love you guys very much!!!

Marlo and Jordan,
Our love and prayers are with you and your wonderful family. My heart aches and hurts for all of you more than any words can express. Marlo, you are an amazing, wonderful mother, there are none better...and Jordan, you are a fabulous, righteous, incredible dad... I am so grateful to know that you will both raise your precious angel Maddie in the life to come... She was and is a perfect, beautiful, incredibly special little girl who was loved and adored by all who knew her. She has already touched and inspired so many lives.
We love you all and our sorrow for your sadness and pain knows no bounds. Our prayers are with you. Linda, Allyn and family
Marlo,
I know that we haven’t spoken in many years but I just received a call from Rob that I will never forget. He told me about what happened to your beautiful daughter. We talked for a while and we didn’t know if it was right for either one of us to contact you. I have been sitting here for the past 16 hours debating whether or not you would want to hear from me but I feel that I have to say that I’m sorry for your loss. I worked at Summerlin Hospital in the neonatal intensive care unit for 2 years and I have unfortunately seen a few losses, but I have noticed that with enough support and enough outlets to speak with, the tragedy is a little bit easier to go through if you have shoulders to lean on. I know that you have your loving family and friends so I have faith that you will be able to get through this extremely trying time. I am currently working as a nighttime nanny with my 7th set of twins and I can’t imagine the pain of losing one of these kids, much less my own. I really hope that hearing from me hasn’t upset you since it’s been so long since we talked but I felt that I had to say something. I’m sorry that I haven’t talked to you in so long but I really hope this hasn’t upset you. I’ll be thinking of you.

Marlo,
I just wanted to echo everyone else's thoughts. No one knows why these things happen but I know our Heavenly Father has a plan for us. He aches with you and for you. I am so sorry for your loss. There is no doubt that she was a happy, loved baby and one day you will be reunited with her again. You are such a great girl and its obvious Jordan is such a great guy. Lean on each other and the Lord during this time. I know there are no words to take the hurt away, but trust that I and MANY others care, and are praying for you and your family.
Love, Jayne (Miller) Layne
Marlo and Jordan,
I was reluctant to say anything on your blog at first, but since many other people have I want to share my condolences as well. We are heart sick over the news and know this must be a very difficult time for you. We are thinking of you and praying for you constantly.
We have loved watching Maddie grow up, even if just from pictures. She was always a good example for us of what to expect from our own little one just three months younger. You two are wonderful parents and there's no doubt Maddie's life was full of joy, love, and adventure, and that she brought you happiness in return. She has touched so many. We hope that you will find hope and comfort in the gospel truth that your family will be restored to you one day. We love you guys.

Marlo,
I don't know if you will remember me, but I was one of Robyn's roommates at BYU. I heard from her about your adorable little Madison. It was nice to see all of you at Robyn's wedding this past January. My heart just sank when I heard the news. I just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
All the best,
Jenna Hamilton Sellers
Marlo and Jordan,
I know that words cannot take the hurt away, but I want you to know that you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I hope and pray that you can feel peace at this time of sorrow. I love you.

Jordan and Marlo, Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you and your family. We are in your parents ward in Las Vegas and when I heard the news on Monday my heart sank. I wish there is something I could do to take away the pain for you or make it any easier. I have prayed daily for you that the Lord will ease the pain and comfort you. What a beautiful little angel she was and I am sure she is looking down on you and wants you to know that she is ok and that she loves you and will see you again. Just know that there are many in the ward here in Vegas that are here for your family for anything you might need.
Marlo,
I am so sorry to hear about your sweet Maddie. It is obvious what terrific parents you both are and we have been praying for you and your family that you can find comfort. Brittney's email was wonderful; isn't it a marvelous thing to know that families are forever, and you will see your perfect Maddie again. You will be in our prayers and hearts.
Love,
Jennie
Marlo,
I know it has been forever, and as Josh said I was very unsure if I should try and get ahold of you. However I cannot express how sorry my family and I are for your loss. I know it has been forever but I heard about your loss and I felt it necessary to let you know you and your family are in our thoughts. We send you our deepest regards and love through this time.
