Our little Merideth passed away early Thursday morning with a peaceful smile on her face.
Aaron and I are grateful she let us know she was going and that we could hold her in our arms to give her comfort. Thank you for the many prayers on our behalf. We feel at peace as she has returned to her Heavenly Father.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. What sweet joy to have held Merideth in your arms during her short time here on earth, and now to have her as part of your eternal family.
May peace surround you.
What a sweet picture that Mandy took. It is so serene, which I know Merideth is now feeling. We're still praying for you.
You have been and will continue to be in my thought and prayers. How wonderful it is that you got to enjoy her during her short time here. May the spirit continue to bring you peace and comfort.

We are thinking of you and want you to know how much we love you! May the Lord bless you with the strength you need to get through this. What a blessing it was to have her let you know it was her time so you could hold her and turn her back over to our Heavenly Father! Our prayers are with you!!
Diana & Aaron~ God works mysterious ways, in His perfect knowledge. Merideth lived a Celestial life, while here on earth, in a heavenly home with her family. She is now living in Heaven with our Heavenly Father in the Celestial Kingdom. What a glorious and 'Joy'ful day when you meet your precious angel again. The Lord sent His valiant, spirit daughter to you and entrusted her in your care. I'm so blessed to have visited you Sunday and held your beautiful Merideth in my arms. Remember, Diana, the thought I told you~ Daughters are forever, and I'm so glad you're MINE... God bless you in both your sorrow and joy, at this time. Love you~ Christine Hamilton
I love the beautiful pictures of your precious daughter. I'm so sorry for the pain you are experiencing right now. There are no words to help.

Diana, you have been in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be. Although I have seen others go through something like this, I cannot say that I know how you feel, or offer any advice to you. I do feel that you are blessed to have those around you that can say that, and for that I am grateful. We wish you peace and comfort and will continue to pray for that. We love you and look forward to meeting your angel someday. With our love and tears, April and family
Diana and Aaron,

Our lives are changed for better from this experience.
We keep your Family in our Prayers and send our Love.

Dear Diana,
Thank you for sharing your sweet daughter with us. Even though I could not meet her I've been touched and blessed by you and your family. My heart aches for your loss and tears of sorrow are being shed here too. My prayers will continue for you and your family. I'm sorry for your loss.
Love,

That picture is awesome... what a beautiful tribute to Merideth... we've been praying for you and your sweet family and hope you know of our love for you and more importantly of Our Father in Heaven and His love for you... we hope you may find peace and comfort at this time... Families are Forever....
love, Lacy and Zeke Susman and family
Aaron and Diana,
Our thoughts and prayers are with your sweet family at this time. Know that we love you and think of you often.
Love, John, Becky and little Aaron
You don't know me but I want you to know that your story has touched me. I have prayed for you and will continue to pray that you will continue to be comforted during this time. Your strength and testimonies are an inspiration to me.
Dear Diana, Aaron, and Natalie,
Our hearts go out to you all. We prayed for a miracle, but also asked for Father's Will. I just want to bear you our witness that He will strengthen,love, and give you the peace as you go throughout your lives. One of the greatest lessons that I personally have learned is that although death is hard, it is also sweet, precious and part of our eternal plans. You will see and love your Meredith again, and the Lord will allow you to feel of her sweet spirit. We love you all, and know that Families are Forever. IF you ever need anything, we are here. You all, including Meredith are in our prayers.
Love,
The Hyers
my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. What a beautiful little girl. My sister's daughter was born with the same condition. Everyday they spend with her is a miracle and a blessing.
We are so sorry for your loss and our hearts hurt for you. Thank you for sharing these tender moments with us -- we're better for knowing you and knowing Meredith's journey back to our Father in Heaven. Thank you.
Aaron & Liz
I am so very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful baby girl she is! May Heavenly Father bless you with comfort and peace until you can be with her again...
I hope you know how much of an inspiration you are to me. I can't imagine what you're going through or how I would handle it, but I am so proud of you for trusting so whole-heartedly in Heavenly Father. I know that He will watch over you. Zac and I love you both and want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so grateful for your examples.
Diana-
Anne told me about your blog. I am so sorry for your loss. But, thank you for sharing your strength and testimony. May you be blessed with continued peace.
Love,

Dear Diana, Aaron & Natalie,
I'm so sorry to hear of Merideth's passing, but feel grateful that she was able to go peacefully back to her Father in Heaven. My heart aches for you, but I feel comfort in knowing that you will be able to be with Merideth again.
Mandy told me about the picture she took of Merideth's name in Oregon and it really is beautiful and poignant.
Diana, your faith has always inspired me, but I have especially appreciated your faith during this difficult journey. As I have read about what you are going through I have felt the Spirit witness to me of the blessing of eternal families. I am praying for you.
