I just love the connection that Beki points out there, so beautiful! Cora is SO amazing...she has touched so many lives, she has touched my life in a profound way and the life of everyone in my family through her life and her story. I am blessed to have been touched by Cora's story...she continues to inspire me, as do you and Joel with your faith and strength. <br /><br />Praying for you!!! <br />Sara <br /><br />PS) I love all of the beautiful pictures of your Cora, she is such an angel...the video montage you put together was amazing.Ethansmom08https://www.blogger.com/profile/14247060923947186250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-90962012956643648672009-04-30T20:39:00.000-05:002009-04-30T20:39:00.000-05:00You are in my prayers!!You are in my prayers!!Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564037978485030115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-49342727797847217122009-04-30T20:26:00.000-05:002009-04-30T20:26:00.000-05:00Loving and praying for you.Loving and praying for you.Beki - TheRustedChainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963688700633522730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-85702500790044921792009-04-30T16:04:00.000-05:002009-04-30T16:04:00.000-05:00I am new to your blog but I was lead here through ...I am new to your blog but I was lead here through another.

The place she went (besides Colorado);-) is heaven, a place we'll get to see her some day. What an amazing place. <br /><br />And oh the things she did in her little life! Look at how many people she's touched! <br /><br />I come back sometimes just to see her pictures and smile at those cheeks and thighs.

I am writing to say that you are no...Joel and Jess,<br />I am writing to say that you are not alone. <br />I know that sounds weird, and obviously you know that, but I guess I mean that you both and your sweet Cora are here with me in Upstate NY.<br />I woke this morning with a real burden on my heart to pray for you guys. I felt like God was telling me that you needed one more person lifting you up.<br />It's funny, because although I am pretty sure we will never meet in real life, I feel like your lives are somehow intertwined into mine now.<br />Your story, your family will always be written on my heart. I think of you guys every day, and I absolutely believe that God will continue to bring healing and peace to your family.<br /><br />I found this quote in a book I was reading and I would like to share it with you.<br /><br />"A mother's love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending. It keeps going around and around ever expanding, touching everyone who comes in contact with it. Engulfing them like the morning's mist, warming them like the noontime sun, and covering them like a blanket of evening stars. A mother's love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending." -Art Urban<br /><br />Please know that you are in my heart and my prayers. May God continue to bless you.<br />*TriciaTriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189315836215119463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-52514109322713562252009-04-29T05:12:00.000-05:002009-04-29T05:12:00.000-05:00Praying for you today.Praying for you today.Rebeccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-55554227014264572502009-04-28T17:41:00.000-05:002009-04-28T17:41:00.000-05:00Dear Jess

I have Cora's picture on my fridge. Everyday it reminds me to be a better mom and wife, and everyday (or more) I pray for your family. I tell others of Cora and your faith and strength. I don't know your pain or struggles, I cannot even wrap my brain around it. But I look at your pictures and see your beautiful smile and know that somehow God's hand is guiding you towards peace and understanding in the months, years and decades to come. I will continue to pray for you and Joel every time I think of you.jen christianshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283232207688640668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-80334376378477050812009-04-27T10:31:00.000-05:002009-04-27T10:31:00.000-05:00your mom is simply the best and does look great at...your mom is simply the best and does look great at 52-may God grant you rest as you lean on Him...still praying for you Jess and Joel...Joannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-612262075451600572009-04-27T10:01:00.000-05:002009-04-27T10:01:00.000-05:00Thinking of you today.Thinking of you today.Beki - TheRustedChainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963688700633522730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-29541128282834509342009-04-26T23:36:00.000-05:002009-04-26T23:36:00.000-05:00You are blessed to have such a wonderful Mother. ...You are blessed to have such a wonderful Mother. I miss mine terribly. I read something Marie Breda's Mother wrote. Marie was 5 yrs old when she choked on a bead in Church and died several days later. It was very touching and has stayed in my thoughts all day. Have you heard this story?<br /><br />‘When a Shepherd wants his sheep to go to nice green pastures over a rocky, steep, difficult mountain, that the sheep did not want to climb, he will take one of the little lambs from their mother, put it on His shoulder and start over the mountain. The mother sheep will then naturally follow after her baby with the rest of the sheep in tow.’ Jesus, our Good Shepherd is leading you with Cora safe on His shoulders.Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244221202675419513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-63727200394953636122009-04-26T22:36:00.000-05:002009-04-26T22:36:00.000-05:00It was good to see you girls SMILING again!

Still thinking of you daily and know you must be trying sooooo hard to smile, laugh and go on..... My heart still aches for you and wish we could do more to help. How is the part time job? And how did the playground meeting go? I am sure you were amazed at how much of an impact sweet Cora and you have made on the world when you talked about the money, prayers and donations made to such a sweet family. I am counting the days until school is OUT! My little babes are WILD and RESTLESS! and just think we have a whole month left! Love you and glad to see you post again.....

I lost my daughter Molly almost two years ago. She was stillborn two days before her due date. I never got to hear her cry, and never got to look in her eyes. I got to hold her precious body in my arms for just a few short hours, not the lifetime that I had hoped for. My heart breaks for you.
