I am so happy that I got to see and hold this precious Angel. God works in mysterious ways, Thomas gave his life to save more precious babies. I feel this was his purpose down here on earth. I hold Sara,Rusty and their children in my heart always. I feel their pain and wish I could take it away. Only time can heal what they are feeling.

-An Angel in the book of life wrote down Thomas's birth. Then whispered as she closed the book "too beautiful for Earth". -
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
