Michael Z Discovered Heaven

On April 20, 2009 at 6:43 pm, Michael Zechariah Clements, discovered the beauty of Heaven and the glory of God. He was a fighter and our precious little man. He touched so many lives in the short time he was here with us. I am truly blessed that I got to know him, and I am honored that through this blog that many of you got to know him too.

Thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers. My family could never thank you enough for the encouragement and support that you all have given to us.

God bless and strengthen you all. We are weeping with you, but we are so grateful to know that Michael is in the presence of Jesus Christ and that you have that sweet assurance that you will go to him. It was our privilege to pray for you and we look forward to meeting you some day...Amy Hunt

I am praying for your sweet boy. My trisomy 18 boy found the peace of heaven a few hours after birth, about six months ago. I know my Peter is up there praying for you, and welcoming Michael.

The New Melleray Abbey in Iowa makes the most beautiful infant caskets out of hardwood, made with the love borne of their mission. They don't really charge for infant ones (we gave them a donation anyhow), and they're very sweet to deal with. They plant a tree in memory of each one. It made our funeral a little more peaceful. See trappistcaskets dot com if you like. I have no connection with them, I can just say we found them peaceful in our time of grief. Some day we will go visit the trees they plant.

May you find grace in the way you welcomed his life and cherished it while he was with you. I know his blameless soul is already praying for your peace.

Even though we know he is in the best place, Heaven, it doesn't ease the loss that you feel. Praying for your family.

Our hearts ache for you and your family, and at the same time there is a deap, joyful peace knowing you are being held in a way too intimate for any of us to comprehend by Our Heavenly Father.
Know of our thoughts and prayers, and thank you so very much for sharing sweet Michael with us, and your abundant hope and trust in Christ.

Praying for you today, asking God to be extra gentle with you as you catch your breath. I am so sorry for the pain you are in, truly sorry. I love Michael and I never even touched him. But I want you to know that Michael Z. sure touched me and stole my heart. I am so proud of him and so sad for you. I will be praying for you for a very long time. Thank you so much for sharing your treasure with us. He is perfect.

Love and Hugs, Laurie

Oh my prayers are for you and your family, especially Michael's mommy, who's arms are longing...praise the Almighty Father in heaven that He not only has received your little one, but that He might give you comfort, that you will know what it feels to be held, to be loved.

In Jesus,
