My heart is shattered
And tears fall like rain
Nothing in my world
Will ever be the same
At least we had
Her for Easter day
Please God just take
All this pain away
Chloe, we’ll love you
Until the end of time
In side our dreams
Things are just fine
It’s when I wake
To a brand new day
The waves of pain
Are back to stay.
The most beautiful angel
Heaven has ever seen
Our little Chloe Lane
Your wings just gleam

This is soooo very sad and little Chloe Lane is such a beautiful little girl! I am sure her wings are gleaming. She passed away just 2 days shy of my firstborns birth/death date and the 28th is my dad's birthday as well. I know how much pain you all must be going through right now and I wish I had the right words to comfort you but I have been there and there just are no words to describe this kind of pain! It just is not fair and hurts so darn much. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Many blessings to you and yours!

My heart is weeping with yours
Cathy, I know the words ( even though well intended ) can not touch the pain you are feeling right now, but may it bring you some comfort to know so many people care, and are grieving with you. Chloe's time with you was short, but the impact she made on your life will never end. May the God of peace , comfort you as only He can.

My thoughts and prayers are with your Cathy. I know there are no words at this moment to ease your pain. Only time can help heal your heart, while at the same time magnifying your memories of the joyful moments with Chloe. It is always difficult to lose a child. After all, they have just arrived. But I believe each soul/spirit that comes to this place has a 'job' to do. For some, that 'job' lasts 60, 70 years...for others, only a few moments, or a few days. But no matter the length of time a spirit dwells here ... they enrich this world, indelibly marking their presence on the hearts of those touched by their presence.
You, your family, and many others prayed for Chloe's safe arrival and the health of your daughter. And those prayers were answered! We all felt blessed by her arrival. Your family was able to revel in Chloe's wonderfulness, and her spirit touched all of you, if only for a short while.
Tears and heartbreak are part of your healing. Healing is a process, no two alike. Just let yourself go thru it, cry when you need to, because eventually you will find your day filled with more happy thoughts than sad. You will be able to appreciate with dry eyes, what you already know now ... that Chloe was a special blessing and that the time you were able to spend with her, hold her, before she returned to our Lord, was truly a gift. And one day, hopefully a long time from now, you will be reunited with her, and all your loved ones when you too make the trip back to your Father's Home.
I send you all my love Cathy, and pray for continued healing for you, Susan and your whole family. ♥ ♥

My heart aches for you Cathy. Please just remember that you have so many people who love you and who are here for you... I know things will never be the same but there is a better tomorrow always with the help of family and friends I know you will get through this. You are such a beautiful person ... this was so emotional to read... The background just intensifies that.

A very heartbreaking read this is Cathy. The death of a child is always so profound and makes one stop and take a step back. Any child's death is a terrible burden, more so when that child is a member of a family. I am sure that that little Chloe knew [as I believe that all babies do] that you loved her deeply] Her time on this earth was so very short, yet every life given by God, is a message, no matter how long they are here for.
There is a reason for her passing, yet it does not take away the acute pain and anguish everyone feels, and will continue to feel forever. Maybe, in time, you will come to know the reason why she was taken so early. Who knows? One thing is for sure, that she brought joy, smiles and love to all around her in her short life. She is in Heaven now, but always be sure that she is looking down on you all. A human angel indeed resides there.
You are in my thoughts and prayers Cathy, as are all of your family. My prayers also go to little Chloe, that she may be welcomed into the bosom of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is the Mother of all children on this earth.And and find peace with God.
Wayne Leon
