No words, they have already been spoken so beautifully, just assurances of prayers, Dear Ones.

What a beautiful bouquet.
I'm really at a loss for words, but these precious families will continue to be in my prayers.

This is absolutely beautiful, and as a friend of Mary Ellen's who is walking this journey with her, I thank you. What a great comfort.
To Emily, Colleen, and Mary Ellen, my prayers continue to be with you, especially during this most Blessed time of year.

Emily, Mary Ellen, and Colleen-- I will surely remember your dear hearts and your families in the novena. I am new around these boards, but not so new that I was privileged to follow each of your heart-wrenching journeys on your own blogs and those of friends close to you and to pray with you. God bless you with His abundant strength, peace and consolation.
Anne, this is a truly beautiful prayer bouquet that you have put together and I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to pray and also that you have included in it all mothers who have lost a child in some way. Our Simon and Grace have each gone into the Father's arms within this year and the thought of all of these sweet saints adoring the Christ Child this Advent and Christmas is a beautiful blessing beyond words.

Emily, Mary Ellen, Colleen, and all mothers who are grieving and missing children at this time,
I am holding you all in my heart right now! You are in my prayers and have been since the start of this beautiful novena! May all our little Saints rejoice together as they wait until the day when we will all, please God, be reunited with our children and able to hold them again as mothers. May Our Lord be kind and merciful to us as we wait as patiently as possible and with all joyful hope for that day of reunion!
 and prayers to all of you! May our novena prayers be answered with an outpouring of generous graces and mercy for all you ladies!

I haven't been very active lately, but I just wanted to tell you from the bottom of my heart that I am so humbled by your generosity and prayer for us and each mother who has suffered the painful loss of a child.
I cannot speak for Mary Ellen or Colleen, but I am sure they would agree with me when they read this or read ( past tense) this they had tears in their eyes as I did. You ladies helped me to be strong when I was weak and to feel God's grace through your constant prayers while I was broken.
God's grace and Mercy is so tender... this has been a journey for us and a time of really seeing where God needs me to be, with my children and husband.
I do keep each one of you in my prayers even when I don't comment. This has been such a humbling experience for me as well to come here and see the outpouring of love and prayer that your families have spent on us and for our dear sweet Matthew. I was so deeply touched too during your 24 hour prayer coverage during Matthew's most critical hours.
I miss holding him terribly, but I am comforted to remember that God is the one who is holding me now and without your strength and love, I would be unable to see that. Thank you and I love and pray for you all.
AMDG+
Emily

Prayers for all families who have to grieve and celebrate at the same time. I know how difficult that can be, and I ask God to cover all of you in comfort
