    Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

  11. Oh Elizabeth, I am so sorry to hear this! I am glad you had the blessing of meeting Jedi in person and that he got to experience being enfolded in your family's love, even if for a brief time. May the Lord give you all peace and comfort during this time to tide you over until you meet again.

  12. Rejoicing for the gift of 13 days with Jedidiah Joseph this side of the womb, mourning and weeping with you for the loss of him, praising God for the gift of eternal life for him, for his intercession for your family, and for the day you will all be joined together again eternally.

    Requiescat in pacem. And yes, St. Jedi, pray for all of us still yet in the vale of tears.

    Elizabeth, I am so, so sorry for your loss, and my heart goes to your whole family.

  14. Many, many prayers coming your way. I am so sad that he is gone and you don't have him to hold right now, but I am lifted up by the knowledge that he is with the Lord.

    I have been so moved by your story and your sweet Jedi will never be forgotten. He is a symbol of all that is good and pure in the world. You are a very blessed mother to have had him in your life.

    I will continue to pray. God bless you,

    Nicole Summers and family

  20. We are so blessed to have shared a little time falling in love with your dear baby boy. We have all grown from your example as a loving mother. We will continue to pray for you and Thank God for him.

    Liz, if you have not heard of Eric Genius, I want to share a song with you. He wrote a song for his baby boy (Joseph) on a CD called NEVER ALONE. His little boy was still born. When I lost my first baby (miscarriage) this song brought me great comfort.

    I'll see if it is on the web and send it to you.
    Love your sister in Chrsit,
    Erika

  23. I'm one of the girls on ICAN, I don't know you but your story has touched me so much. You have more courage than I could ever have. I pray that you have peace in the days ahead and your family surrounds you with love. I've been keeping up with your post, and was checking it last night around 10p.m. and felt this overwhelming need to pray for you at that very moment. Just reading your post has made me feel like I know you. Please know that you have touched my family very deeply. You are in our prayers! God has a precious new little angel watching over us all today! Bless you sweet Jedi and all the ones you have touched in your little life!! You did an amazing job!

  24. Liz and Chris,

    I have been following your blog for a long time now and have been praying for the entire family each day. My heart is filled with lots of sorrow for you and I shed tears for the pain that you are feeling right now. I will not let up on my prayers for healing sweet memories in the months and years ahead. Jedi is laying in the arms of Jesus now and his little body has been healed completely...no more feeding tubes...no more uncomfortable feelings...he is no longer a sick little baby, but an angelic baby that will greet you all when it is your turn to go be with Jesus.

    Sending each of you lots of love, hugs and prayers.

    Love your sister in Christ,

  27. Oh. That hit me like a punch in the gut - prayers for your children, that they will always understand the gift God gave them in their little saint of a brother. Prayers for you, that you and your husband feel the love and prayers of so many strangers who you gracefully allowed to share in your little boy's life.

  32. I know I don't know you but I must say that after reading all that you have gone through your faith and love has restored my own! I am a mother of two and I pray that I can be half the mother that you are! You are an amazing woman just like your brother (Fr. Kevin) is an amazing man! I have known your brother for many years and he impacted my life more than he will ever know and now another Peek has done the same thing! I pray for your strength as well as your entire families! I pray that God grants you the peace that you need right now! Know that Jedi is in heaven and that he will be with you every step of the way! You and your family are amazing and I am grateful to have read your story! You have all changed my life for the better! I pray you feel God holding you right now as you greive and that you always feel Jedi with you! God Bless you and your family and most importantly Jedi!

  36. Dear Family,

    Your journey is unimaginable to most of us. Your strength and faith is unfathomable. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious little Jedi; but what a comfort to know that he is now in the Arms of Jesus. Jedi is God's Little Lamb. I have lifted your family up in prayer, asking Him to provide you with the Peace which passeth all understanding (Phil. 4:7)

    In His Love,
    ~Kim

  44. Dear Elizabeth and family,

    We prayed a Rosary for Jedi today, reflecting on his beautiful presence in all our lives. I am forever grateful that you entered our lives through the distance.

    I celebrate the gift Jedi has given all of us, and the lessons learned through your written words.

    St Jedidiah, pray for us! May you continue to shine brightly in each of our lives whom you have touched and intercede for those who are hardened of heart.

  47. Elizabeth and family,
    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please be blessed by those 13 beautiful days you had with your little saint.

  48. I do not even know how to put this into words worthy enough. We do not know each other (aside from postings on the ICAN board) but your family has touched my life so much that I know there is a part of me that is forever changed. The faith and strength you have demonstrated has me in awe. Throughout reading your blog one of the things that touched me the most are the words of your precious children, they really restored my faith in humanity and love and showed what an amazing mother your are. I am so very very sorry, you all will be in my prayers and my heart.
