Good Night Lily Belle

April 7th, 2013

     Lily Belle Litchford, gifted to us on March 27th, 2013 at 6:40pm, passed into the loving arms of Jesus today, April 7th, 2013 at 6:00pm.  We give thanks to our Heavenly Father for His mercy on Lily Belle, His grace on us, and for His peace which passeth all understanding.  Her mother and I, as well as so many others, will miss her so very deeply until that day when we will meet her again in glory.  Our pain is far to intense right now for words. I simply don't have it in me to write much for now.  I only want to say that we feel your prayers, and we so very much appreciate everyone's kind words and well wishes.  We ask only that everyone  please continue to petition The Lord on our behalf for comfort, strength, guidance, and peace.  We acknowledge everyone's love for our daughter, and count it a privilege to have had so many care so much for Lily.  Tonight she is broken no more.  She is whole, and in the care of our Savior.  She only now is fully aware, and fully understands our love for her, and Christ's love for all.  The time has now come for us to mourn.  Please understand Lily's mother and I will need time to grieve.  I may not post for a while, until I find the right words, but I want all to know that we have been deeply affected by those who have read this blog and have responded in prayer and kind words.  Good night my precious Lily Belle.  Know that we love you, and will continue to love you, forever and ever.  Until we meet again on that day.

Love,
-Brian (Lily Belle's Dad)
