It is with broken, grieving hearts that we need to let you know that our Father’s plans for Susannah were much different than ours. Having spent the past three days loving and cherishing every moment with our little girl today we said a final goodbye as her life gently slipped from her.
God is faithful even in the hard times. I must say that I never had a desire to learn that. However, He who didn’t spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all also has a plan for Susannah, Melanie and my life.
Even though this has been far and away the most challenging, yet also sweetest, time of our lives God took our little Susannah from us in a most gentle way. My heart’s deep concern was that I would have to make some very difficult decisions regarding her care. I did not have to and am so grateful. The Lord had His hand on her little body and it was apparent the entire day that she was not long with us.
Please continue to pray for us as we make this difficult transition. In particular for Melanie as her body is still going through recovery.
Thank you to everyone for their love and support. Little Susannah had such an immeasurable prayer covering.
We love our little Susannah and thank you for doing the same.

Dear Nathan, Melanie, and family,
I grieve with you, and, yet, thanks be to God, I also rejoice with you. It is such a blessing that you continue to seek God’s will and His glory through this heartache. Your trust and faithfulness are an inspiration. May Susannah Joy continue to draw you to Christ, who is your true joy. Thanks be to God for His wonderous work through little Susannah!
With my heartfelt sympathy and prayers,
Kelly
I have prayed and continue to pray for you all. Our God is a faithful God, and this is such a hard thing to go through. Praying for Him to hold you in His hands.
So sorry you didn’t get more time with Susannah. The pictures are beautiful, she was a lovely baby.
Sad along with you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
May God go with you and carry you though this time of despair. He will lift you up.
Praying for you and your family.
Thank you for being so open with all of us and sharing your story during these times. We are so sorry for your loss. We will be praying for you and your family. God bless you.
I just heard ~ please know we are among those praying for renewed strength and a knowledge of His abiding presence. All our love ~
I have just found this site and just read this blog…through tears I say I’m sorry and through those same tears I know God’s plans are better than ours but we cannot always see it now…some day soon we will and marvel all the more at who He is!
In Christ,
Scott
