Thank you to everyone who was able to come and celebrate Samuel's life with us. Your presence meant more to us than you can know. Samuel is a special boy. We love him and miss him already.
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Sunday morning before church Bryan and Lucy were eating breakfast. Bryan was looking at the cards made for the service that afternoon and gave one to Lucy. She held the card with both hands and kept kissing Samuel's picture and saying "baby." It was very sweet.

At night I sing "He's got the Whole World in His Hands" to Isaac. We've been singing "He's got sweet baby Samuel in His Hands"
You are such a special family. We love you.
