Tibute to my Sweet Niece

Our dearest friends and relatives,

We would like to announce the arrival of Rebecca Phoebe Michel, who was delivered April 25th at 12:48 am. She was 7lbs 6 oz and 21 in. long. Although her spirit no longer dwells within her sweet body, her spirit and memory stays very strongly with us. At this time we don't know what caused her death, but we are at peace that she has been taken back to live with her Father in Heaven.

We are grateful for all the many thoughts and prayers that have been and will continue to be spoken on our behalf. Thank you for the well wishes. We are deeply saddened that we did not have the opportunity to raise her at this time. But we find comfort in knowing that she is with our family always and will be anxiously awaiting the day when we will be reunited again.

We understand that this is difficult for all of those around us. We appreciate warm smiles and kind words. At this time Rebecca would enjoy emails and cards that let her know of your love and thoughts, this allows her to take things one step at a time.

"Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" took pictures of Rebecca Phoebe during her short visit with her parents. When these pictures become available to view we will let you know.

Thanks again, and we love you all.

Martin, Rebecca and family

I hope they are doing okay. I have been thinking about them. Did you find that book?

I was so sad when I heard the news! I don't think there could be anything harder than losing a child. Thanks for letting us all know what's going on, I hope the best for Martin and Rebecca and their little ones, and they are in our prayers!
