Molly,
I am so sorry. There are no words to express it. The children all cried when I told them and they are praying for your family.

I can only imagine your pain and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I wish there were words of comfort.

Molly,
    Words are not adequate to tell you just how sorry I am that Oliver is not with you here anymore. I'm thankful for the hope we have in Jesus, knowing you'll one day hold him again in your arms, and that our loving Blessed Mother will love and hold him for you until then.
     May the Lord bless you with comfort and bring you in His time, to peace.
     My heart is breaking for you, Molly. Please know that I am lifting you, Bill, and the family in prayer to our Lord.

Dear Molly,
Please accept our deepest sympathy in the tragic loss of baby Oliver. Oliver was able to live his purpose in this life in a mere two months. Gods ways are not our ways. May Our Lady of Sorrows comfort your heart in only the way a mother who has known such sorrow as the loss of a son can comfort.

You and your family are being prayed for. I am so very, very sorry.

I heard from a friend of Molly's yesterday. They are all very worried about Molly. She is very depressed and not doing well. Please keep the prayers coming.

I will be printing all these wonderful prayer replies and making a spiritual/prayer bouquet to send to Molly and her family. It will be something she can feel in her heart and hold in her arms. Never a replacement, but a consolation.

Molly's friend, Ginna, sent this update to Denise and I. I thought it beautiful and asked if I could share it. She gave me permission to do so. She also mentioned that the music was simply beautiful. Thank you for all the prayers and keep them coming:

***********

"Oliver Joseph's funeral was very beautiful. There were 300 to 400 people in attendance, and 16 altar servers. Molly's friend, Msgr. Cornelius, presided along with Fr Conrad, CFR who knew Molly and Bill many years ago at Franciscan, and Deacon Mark Miravalle.   Monsignor's homily was awesome--about life in the womb, life on earth, and the new birth to life in heaven.   About 200 people came to the funeral luncheon. Several of her brothers and sisters came. They are surrounded by love. People were very generous in their material needs as well. We are blessed with such a Christ-filled community here.

She is truly suffering but with great poise. Someone told her last night that seeing Oliver lying there was like a glimpse of heaven.   I know that the prayers of many are sustaining her. Now the long, dark night begins for her as friends begin to leave. We here intend to keep vigil with her and Bill. I think they will need prayerful support for a long time....

Oliver, that one little soul, is already touching and healing many. May he continue to intercede to the Infant Jesus for them.   I'll keep you posted. Blessings, ginna"

Dear all,
Ginna told me that you all were praying, I just looked on-line, perhaps to make time pass, anyways, I feel so humbled and cannot tell you how it feels to read your sincere and lovely words. This e-mail may be jumpy as I'm not feeling well, I think time is in some sort of warp, but please know that I truly appreciate you all. I'm printing off your prayers and taking them to bed with me, holding to the truth that your saintly prayers will reach the throne of God and keep my baby safe. I ask prayers for my girls they are having a terrible time, they were such big helpers and now they are terribly silent about Oliver. We love him so very much, and they and Bill and I want him back. Yet we know that when you sign up for Gods team you must be willing to suffer, and God needs us all to suffer and make up for what is lacking in this sinful world. That is the answer to why Oliver died, we must all now press on, and embrace suffering, as Padre Pio reminds us, " if you knew the value of suffering we would all beg for it".
That is all for now, please pray to end abortion, and child abuse, let us use this pain for good!

Molly,
   Reading your words this morning has comforted *me*. Thank you for taking the time in this very difficult time to comfort us, and remind us how important our prayers and love are in this world.
    I've asked SO many people around the country, and world to be in prayer for you. I just pray the love our prayers hold will reach your heart too, through the love of our Lord for you (all), and that you will feel how much you truly are loved.
    Thank you for letting us know how we can pray for you specifically. We are here for you, Molly, and love you (all) very much. Please come here when you need to. We're here to listen to you, and do whatever we can to ease your suffering, and your pain.

With Much Love,
Tracy
