Dear Skye and precious Daughters….my deepest care and sincerest sympathy to you all. May God enfold you and hold you near in this saddest of times. You all have your own guardian angel now.
Please know that you and the girls are being lifted up in constant prayer. I pray that you will find comfort and peace during this difficult time. All my love!!
I only worked with Chad for a few months at the Hospice Home, but it seemed like a long time. His personality was such a joy to me and all the staff at Hospice of Wake County. You and your daughters will be in my prayers. With Love,
I only learned yesterday of your family and the 3 year struggle you have had. I read alot of your blog last night and it was as Heather said – amazing. You don't need a stranger to tell you Chad is in a better place. But I do want to tell you to keep being the strong woman that you have become and you & the girls will be fine. Keep the traditions going in his memory while remembering to live your life as he would want you to be happy. God Bless You, Lorie Faircloth
I began reading your blog about 2 weeks ago and I check everyday to find out how your family is doing. As a total stranger I know there is nothing I can say that will make your journey any less difficult, but I am so glad you did decide to share your journey with us.

Dearest Skye, you have been an inspiration to many, many people. I am thinking about you this morning, and know you are hurting, so would like to share a prayer that I have been saying for you.
“You can Make it Through the Storm.
Thank You that You are not only the God of sunny skies but the rain in our lives as well.
So I come to You on behalf of Your daughter (Skye) whose heart is hurting. I ask that You
would draw her to You. Shelter her with Your love, protect her with Your peace, keep her
safe in strength. May every drop that falls bring forth life, growth, and unexpected beauty
like spring flowers after storms. Wherever she may be as she reads these words, may she know she is loved, and prayed for…..You know the hairs on her head and how many cares are in her heart. So I place your daughter in Your loving hands and ask you to bless
and strengthen her today –and every day until brighter days are here again.
Hollie Gerth”
God will tenderly comfort you….He will give you the strength to endure.
