We love you so very much and deeply grieve with you over our loss of Harper’s earthly presence. Rejoicing in the Hope that we will one day be “there” (as a favorite children’s book reads) with Harper, healed and whole, but for now we are “here”. We continue to pray and believe
that Jesus will be nearer to you and your family than He’s ever been. May the Holy Spirit fill you with Hope, bring you peace and comfort and give you strength for today’s celebration of your princess. What a beautiful gift she was!
I am deeply sorry to hear about the end of Harper’s journey on Earth. She was such an amazing person and a delightful student. My heart breaks for each of you… sending prayers for comfort and peace. ❤️
We continue to pray for you and the whole family daily...That the peace and comfort of God would just be so near in the midst of the deepest of grief. Harper will never be forgotten. Her sweet smile and her kind heart her beautiful story and legacy will forever be with us. And the way you served, loved, prayed, hoped and held space for her to cast all her fears and burdens on you is such a beautiful example of the way that God cares and loves us.....so thank you for the gift of allowing us all to see Jesus in you over the last four years. Thank you for teaching us how to walk through the most difficult seasons with faith, hope and love. Aaron, the words you wrote are just so true - this is not the end. While we grieve, we do not grieve as those who are without hope (1 Thess. 4:13). Continuing to pray for you and here to support you in the coming season in anyway I can - love to you all.
My heart is breaking for you. Heaven gained another angel that will be watching over all of us! I hope this poem I have attached helps create an image that will give you some comfort during this difficult time and beyond. The poem is called Gone From My Sight.
Gone From My Sight
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship
at my side spreads her white sails to the
morning breeze and starts for the blue
ocean. She is an object of beauty and
length she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come to mingle
with each other.
Then someone at my side says: “There, she
is gone!”
“Gone where?”
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just
as large in mast and hull and spar as she
was when she left my side and she is just as
able to bear her load of delivering freight to her
destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at
my side says: “There, she is gone!” there are
other eyes watching her coming, and other
voices ready to take up the glad shout:
“Here she comes!”

Our hearts are broken. What a fighter till the end. Such a blessing to be surrounded by so much love as she made her transition to heaven. I believe death can be as beautiful as birth. It sounds like hers was full of love. How very beautiful for her. We will continue to pray for Gods grace and comfort as you churn through this next week and weeks to come. I love you. Hang in there. 💔
My heart absolutely breaks for your whole family. My deepest sympathies to you all. I have been praying for you family a long time and will continue to on doing so.
that Jesus will be nearer to you and your family than He’s ever been. May the Holy Spirit fill you with Hope, bring you peace and comfort and give you strength for today’s celebration of your princess. What a beautiful gift she was!
