In Memory of Madeline Alice Spohr

This precious little girl went home to the Lord on April 7,2009.

Born three months premature, little Maddie fought her way out of the NICU and fought her way bravely through the last 17 months of her little life. She was Heather and Mike's little sunshine and looking at her beautiful smile, you know it was true. I haven't read a lot about Maddie but the little that I have has moved me. The family needs our prayer support and whatever contributions you can send in for Maddie's homegoing service on the 14th (The family is accepting help via paypal. The button can be found on my blog, on the left) and in support of the March of Dimes campaign. (March for Maddie can be supported here)

A website has been set up in Maddie's honor. You can also read more posts about the joy she brought into the lives of those who knew her. More information and details about Maddie can be found here and Heather twitters here

Heather and Mike, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray God's Arms of Comfort hold you and His Breath of Peace cover you as you go through this hard time. We cannot ever question God's Plans and hard as it may seem, He is still in control.

In honor of darling Maddie, the blog will go purple for this week. God bless you both.
