  3. I don't have the words. Your story has touched me from the first prayer request. Up until 2 days ago, I kept crying out, 'why, God?' The answer came very simply in the warm breeze: 'why waste one moment asking Me why? Cherish every breath for the gift that I have given you.' We are praying for your peace, strength, comfort, continued grace, understanding, and no fear for you as you move through the days ahead. You will never know the full impact of your story, but God will be glorified. He already has been. What a beautiful little boy. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

    Our sincerest condolences to you and your families,
    The Schieles (UMCU)

  4. God always has a plan and at times like these, it’s hard to understand what it is. We do know that Heaven gained a beautiful Angel who was given the absolute best parents on Earth! We feel blessed to have been able to follow Samuel's journey and appreciate you sharing it. We will be praying that you feel God and Samuel’s strength, peace, and loving arms around you. You are and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. ~Brian & Megan
