Shavon and Austin and all,
Sorrow for a night; joy comes in the morning. I pray that morning dawns quickly
We shall all be together soon. God is faithful and loving.
He keeps His word and all of us, sons of God, will stand before Him and Praise His name forever.
Be comforted in knowing our God's arms of love are holding your children and you forever. He will never let go; His love endures forever.
May you feel His love and peace all through you and around you; day and night.
Much love,
Elizabeth

There are no words to express the sadness at this time. Your family is strong in your faith and that will help you in the difficult times ahead. You can take comfort knowing that now Mia has her brother "home" with her and they are enjoying running and playing all over Heaven. My prayers will continue for all of you. You are certainly a model of a loving, caring family who knows that God will help you and support you.

Praying for your family and thinking about the years of Matthew's life - from baby and toddler in his chair at church to becoming a young man. Austin and Shavon you both were such a strong influence and Christian models for Ross during his teen years at Shiloh. Mia and Matthew's ministry will be so far reaching only heaven will know their influence on other souls.
