There is no way you can know what your short life on this
earth (in mama’s belly) has meant and will always mean.
You were and are a “Bright light” to us.
Though you were here for only a brief moment,
your precious life was and will always be an exponentially important moment to
us, your family.
In the time you were
here, Jesus used your precious presence to destroy years of damage and detriment.
Although we knew you really weren’t here, we
will always be thankful that you did not ever have to taste the ugliness of a
sin-filled world because Jesus ushered you immediately into Glory.
We don’t know if you were able to see the beauty and
absolute peace as we wrestled hard, agonizing over your passing.
If you were able to see, you truly witnessed
what Jesus did in that moment through the miracle of you.
Your life will never go unhonored, without
the deepest of meaning.
In one precious moment, the gift arose, a chance to show you
love. I was not going to lose this
moment, I will bathe my(our) sweet Lena.
As I washed you, dried you, dressed you, I knew it only for
one moment in time. This I can do, Thank
you Jesus. This I will do, Hold me
Jesus. Thank you for this gift divine.
As we said goodbye to you, sweet Lena,
know that it truly was the hardest moment we have ever had to face. You’re in Heaven with Jesus our Lord and
Savior. Please know that we miss you and
long to be united again with you. Saying
goodbye is hard and not something we thought we would ever have to do, but when
we see you again in heaven, we will rejoice with you and our king together,
forever.
In reality, we did not say goodbye but, “We’ll see you soon!
Sweet Lena,” which was truly a bittersweet moment. And at the moment we see you again in glory,
and Jesus’ face we’ll behold, He will turn the bittersweet into something captivatingly
wholesome and pure.
Your momma loves you so; I love you so and Turner David
loves you so. You are a “bright light”
to us and to so many around you.
One moment you were here, one moment you were there, Moment
by moment, God’s grace was shown…
The moment we see you, all things will be perfected.
Your life, God’s purpose, none left unaffected.
We love you and miss you Madilyne Eleahnah Margaret, our
sweet, sweet Lena.
Our sweet Lena (Maddie)
Proud Father of “Lena” our
“Bright Light, Bright One”
We will honor you, your memory, our Lena
“Bright one”
In Christ,
Through Christ

I have a very precious nephew named Logan. He has been such a source of encouragement to us since our Madilyne died. He has made phone calls to us, drawn us pictures of Madilyne and Jordan being accepted by Jesus into Heaven, sent us notes, sent us Bible verses and made us gifts.
Thank you, Jesus, for the precious gift you have given me in my nephew Logan. Thank you for his simplistic childlike faith that helps us remember not to take ourselves to serious but to remember your promises to us and to keep growing our faith in you.
