I have been searching for weeks for the words that adequately express the deep sorrow I feel about Peyton’s passing. It was truly an honor for me to care for her in her last hours. Her strength that final day was overwhelming. Caitlin and Peter, both of you will remain in my prayers and in my heart along with Peyton forever.
I fell so honored that i met this little girl. She was fiesty and full of energy. One thing i could always count on at 2am was Peytons big beautiful eyes. Everyone in our NICU family knew and loved her. It was not uncommon to walk down our hallway and someone “ask hows peyton tonight?” It is so amazing how a small little girl can make a lasting impression in her short time with us.
I was so saddened when she left us, But i know God has big plans for her. Please know that my prayers are with your precious family. I enjoyed visiting with each of you. My thoughts and prayers will be with you for the days ahead.
Caitlin and Peter you are in my prayers daily. It was a privilege to care for precious Peyton. I’ve said before that it was my favorite memory when those beautiful eyes popped open and how she would look at you as though she understood every word that was spoken to her. Many of us will hold her forever in our hearts. Although such a brief life on earth she left a huge void to many. Much love and prayers are sent.
I continue to pray that God's peace and mercy will surround your family during these sad and difficult days. Precious little Peyton was loved by our NICU family and we continue to mourn her passing. Please know that Peyton will always remain in our hearts.
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22
Sweet Peyton,
You will forever have a special place in my heart. It was an honor to care for you and I loved you like my very own. Praying for your Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Grandpa during this difficult time.
Words cannot express the sorrow I feel at Peyton's loss. I was with her in the first and last moments of her life. She was a fighter from the beginning. I am praying for comfort for you all, her mother and family. Know that I will never forget her.

Although Peyton was born 3 months early, she had quite the personality. As one of her nurses, I will always remember her spunky nature and engaging eyes that spoke to everyone in the room. My deepest sympathy goes out to this loving family.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to your family during this difficult time. Sweet little Peyton was loved by so many in the NICU and we grieve from her passing. My thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Praying for strength and comfort for this family.
