Please keep Cheri and me in your prayers

Hi everyone,

This is Spencer. Unfortunately, one of my only posts brings some sad news. We lost our little angel over the weekend. Macie was 7 lbs 4 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long with a beautiful full head of hair. Cheri is recovering in the hospital from c-section. Our only comfort comes from our knowledge of the gospel and eternal families and that we know that we will have little Macie with us forever.

Please keep us in your prayers during our time of mourning.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss and I know that words cannot describe the pain you must be feeling right now. Last year in a mission prep class I learned that the little ones who are lost will be able to be raised by their parents to adulthood in the millenium if they are worthy. I know that you both will be able to see her again one day and help raise her to be the amazing daughter that she is. And Cheri, I think you found the perfect name, Macie is beatiful.

With all of my love,
Crystal

Spencer and Cheri, I read this yesterday when it was first posted, and I was unable to bring myself to comment because I couldn't find the words to express my sorrow. My thoughts and prayers have been with you and will continue to be with you and your children. There aren't any words that can make it better, but I hope you realize how many people love you and are mourning with you. May you be blessed and comforted during this time!

Cheri, Spencer, Emma, and Tyler,

Jane just shared your sad news with me last night. Kullervo and I are so, so sorry. We know you didn't "sign up" for this painful physical separation from your sweet baby Macie and that you never planned to be an example to the rest of us during such a time, but we so appreciate the light and spirit you keep about you. We keep you in our prayers.
