  3. What a beautiful memory. I am so sad for little Avery to be gone but at the same time, she is another angel in heaven sent to look over all of us. I hope you find peace in the future and remember her always. Many prayers for your family and hugs. I wish I could have been at the memorial but I was there in spirit.

  5. Such a beautiful tribute to your little girl! I know how hard the CDH journey is. I just don't know how hard it is when your CHERUB earns their wings. I pray for you and your family. You have such strength, and love!

    I only wish there were more I could have done. I was always there with Avery and all of you in thought, prayer and spirit. Now your family will always play a special part in my thoughts. May God continue to bless you all throughout the coming months. I know Avery will be a part of your "forever family." Kindest regards and respect, Goldie McGarrah

    Thank you for sharing your video - I know that it has helped me a little with the heartache that I feel for you. I've been praying for your family. Boy, your little one was so loved. You could see it in every one of your family member's visits with her. She is flying high!!! By the way- I loved the picture of her sticking her tongue out!!! What a little monkey!

    I wish I could find the words to say after watching that. I miss Avery! I am crying as I type this-I am SO sorry Avery had to endure this-that her life had to be so short, and that her sister will never get to play with her, share clothes with her, be her maid of honor. It is so foreign to me to feel so emotional over complete strangers! Yet, I continually feel so compelled to pray for you-it is all I can do. My sweet Jesus, please comfort the Keirseys and be with them through these darkest of days. Lord, when there is nothing else they can do I pray they will cry out to you and you will be their peace and fulfill every longing of their heart. My apologies for the long post-I have just been so sad for you over the past 10 days. How I wish Avery could have gotten well. Thanks so much for letting us all be a part of this chapter of your life.

    Just saw the video from the blog In Loving Memory of Avery Mae. What a very beautiful song (and one of our favorites)for a very beautiful baby girl. Sarah says she loves you and she misses Baby Avery. Jake says he loves baby Avery and he will miss her so much. They loved seeing pictures of her, hearing stories of her. She will be remembered in their hearts as well as ours forever. Hugs, Angela
