It's finally here. We have been waiting for her headstone for the longest time and it's such a relief it is here before her birthday. That is all I wanted. We are pleased with the outcome and are glad that it turned out so well.

She was always Daddy's little girl.

Marlo-
I hope that you don't mind that I check in on you and your family from time to time.

Simply put, it is beautiful, and I am in constant awe of you, and Jordon. I know that you don't ask to be, but you are inspirational in many ways.

Know that we think of you often. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Marlo,
I went to DHS with you and Brit. Gosh it's been so long. I was excited to find your blog through "blog hopping" and very sorry to read of your loss. What a beautiful little girl. I certainly wish you and your family all of the love, and great wishes there are! And congratulations on your son in March. (we are expecting our 1st in July) I lost my dad 3 weeks ago. And there is nothing more comforting to know of this beautiful plan of salvation! I hope you are doing well. Please tell Brit hello for me! I see she is on a mission! That is wonderful! ox Misha Rees

The gravesite you chose for Maddie's earthly body is so peaceful and in such a nice place. It was so calm there and you could just feel her spirit so strong... her headstone is very elegant and simple. I love it. The picture w/ Jordan sitting in front of it breaks my heart. We sure love you guys and are thinking of you tons. Take care and we'll keep praying for strength and comfort.
