My 6 year old daughter is not doing well.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
121

I have no words to tell you how sorry I am, Roadwalker. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Naomi was a beautiful girl, and her strength and love and soul shined from her eyes.

She is, indeed, now in a better place. I have a picture of her in my mind, up in heaven being hugged and cuddled by my beloved mother, who had a real heart for children. Mom will make sure she still feels loved, even though she misses you all so terribly. Scott will, I know, be doing that same thing.

I would like also like to send something as a memorial, and if there is no special place you would prefer, would you feel it appropriate for me to have a star named after her?

Through my tears, I send you my love.

Cheri

No words of mine can ease your loss. However, let it be know that I grieve for you, I grieve with you.

124

Even as I’ve been praying for you, Naomi and the rest of your family, I’ve avoided this thread, not wanting to know.

This thread has me in tears, and my heart cries for you. I will continue to pray for all of you.

125

My sincere condolences to you and your family, Roadwalker.

126

I’m so sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you.

127

I am so, so, so sorry. :frowning:

May God watch over you all. You are in my thoughts.

128

I’m sorry for your troubles

129

I’m so sorry for you and the child. God bless you all.

This week has been Hannukah and Thomas and I have lit candles every night for the past 8 nights, saying a prayer of thanks for those we’ve lost and of hope for those still with us – loved ones and strangers alike. One of those nights our prayer was specifically dedicated to you and your family, Roadwalker. We are so saddened to hear that you’ve lost Naomi.

I Heard the Angel Say
*~ Bobbi Davis ~

I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
“Their work on earth is done.”

I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
“There’s peace dear one at last.”

I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
“The spirit never dies.”

I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
“The Lord is coming soon.”

I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
“They left you with their love.”

I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
“They’re with you every day.”

“The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they’ve finally found.”*

Rest in peace, Naomi

With our deepest condolences to you and your family, Roadwalker,

Jill and Thomas (Shayna & Spiny Norman)

I am so very sorry.

134

I sat here for so long before I could even type anything.
I know that she is no longer in pain but I can’t help feeling selfish and wishing your family would have had one more christmas to share.
Oddly enough when I read the news I was listening to Diamond Rios’ “One More Day”. Didn’t help in making me a sobbing mess.

If you don’t mind I would like to e-mail you and maybe when you get some time I would like you to share some pictures with my so I can share them with my children.
The next time I am in Iowa City at the childrens hospital I would also like to donate some toys for the treatment treasure chest in her name.

135

Is it just me, or has there been more death at the SDMB than usual? First poopah chalupa, then the person whose co-worker died of constipation, now this?

And sorry about your daughter.

136

I’m so very sorry for your loss.

137

My condolences Roadwalker … and best thoughts/prayers for the upcoming addition to the family.

The little one will have the best guardian angel ever, I bet.

138

I am so touched by this love expressed by you all. I must honestly say that my wife ad I feel great relief along with the tragic loss. Naomi will have a memorial service Saturday, December 14th in Yucaipa, California. Anyone wishing to may attend.
Also, anyone wishing to may make a donation in her name to the Ronal McDonald house in Los Angeles. If this is not feasable, any local Ronald McDonald house or Children’s Hospital is fine.

Thank you all.

I am so sorry for your loss, I haven’t seen this thread until just now. No parent should ever have to bury their child.

I am wishing you and your family peace and happiness in the days and years to come. No one is ever truly dead as long as we carry them in our hearts and thoughts.

Yet even as one life is reaching its end another life is only beginning. And the circle of life continues. . . . . .

God bless you and your family. May your hearts be comforted.

You have my deepest sympathies, Roadwalker. I must say that I admire your courage for not only what you have had to endure, but to be able to take the time to share it with us.
