Becca  and Richard,
My sincerest condolences and heartfelt prayers on the loss of your beautiful baby girl, Millie Jean.  
Know your loss is heaven's well-beloved gain. For the Lord heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He will wipe away every tear from your eyes and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, for the former things have passed away.

Ps 147:3, Rev 21:4

Becca and Richard, 
Praying for you and your family's strength, comfort and peace. 

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

[Psalm 139:16]  ~  "Your eyes even saw me as an embryo, all its parts were written in your book regarding the days when they were formed, before any of them existed."

My deepest sympathy to the family for your loss.  God's love for Millie Jean began before she was even born, and continues to this day.  As an expression of that fact, a wonderful hope awaits those who have fallen asleep in death.  I have listed some of  the promises found in God's word.   May your faith be strengthened and your heart  comforted by our Heavenly Father.

(Isaiah 25:8) ~(Mark 5:39-42)~(Revelation 21:4)-(Psalm 83:18)

My heart is broken over your loss of sweet little Millie.

My favorite memory of baby Millie was she was SO cute. She was very very cute. When I got to hold her it made me happy. She made me so happy. She made my Uncle Richard and Aunt Becca Jane so happy too! I like that family. I'm glad they are my family too.
