I have considered myself blessed to be involved in your journey with your little one. Know that Christian went from being wrapped in love and warmth in your heart to another place where he is wrapped in love and warmth in the Lord's care. Christian will be in all of our hearts forever. I grieve and rejoice for you and your family, as we can all be sad to not have Christian in our arms, but we can be happy that he is in a wonderful place. Be strong in your hearts and mind through this difficult time and know that we are all praying for you and keeping you close to our hearts. God bless you and your family!

On the wings of angels he was taken to his heavenly Father. Amy and Matt - in your deepest sorrow and grief, I pray you find solace in knowing Christian is finally healed and at peace. You will have a guardian angel forevermore. Love to you both, Mandie McCreadie

Ms. B, My family's prayers are with you and Christian Matthew. God took him into his arms and he will protect him with all his love. My mom says that our the last song in our winter concert was sung just for him. God put him into your arms because he knew that you would love him and care for him and do anything for him. Have a safe recovery and we hope to hear/see you soon. We love you ms b!! Love, Ashley

Hey Ms.B, you probably see me almost all the time on my silly side. but, I'm constantly thinking about baby B. I've lit candles in church, and prayed seperately for him and for you. One of my favorite lines in the bible is Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. well, god obviously had a specific plan for you and for Christian! Even though you may not think so now, god is doing this for a reason Mrs.B. at least that's how i'm thinking about it! stay strong Mrs. B, you've proven to me that you are :) -Ellen

Dear Amy, I remember you from BUMC youth group and I'm so glad I came accross your page on facebook. Sharon Pitts had told me about your situation about a month ago and I began praying. Baby Christian looks so sweet even in the few pictures you have of him. You've been on my heart all day, and I'm sending folks I know to visit this site as well as pray. Please know that you are an encouragement to me in this first Christmas season without Jen, my best friend of 20 years who passed in June. What a strong testimony of faith for so many people! Blessings to you and Matt!!!

December 9, 2008 Dear Amy, Matt and Christian Matthew, I first learned about you from Stephanie K. for she asked me to pray for your son. She told me of your story and gave me the website. My husband and I have been praying each day for God to hold you all in his hands in this most difficult and also beautiful journey. Your faith and love for God is so evident, amazing and wonderful. In this day and age when so many people are willing to discard their unborn babies, I am so moved to see and hear that you are fighting so hard to keep your beautiful son. You and Matt are amazing Parent's. We will continue to pray for you, Matt and Christian Matthew. God will always bless you. Love and Caring Karen & Patrick Shields
