    I am so sorry that I won’t be able to be there. Courtney and Allen, I am praying for you. I know our God is holding you in your time of need!

    You and your family have been, and will remain, in my prayers. The memorial service will be a very emotional one for you, but know that God will be there – as He always is – holding you close in His loving, comforting arms. May He continue to comfort you as only He can, and may you continue to lean on the support and love of your family and friends during this time. I can picture Him holding those precious babies while the heavenly choir sings lullabies to them. Stay strong in your faith; it will sustain you during the days and weeks to come. Know that you are loved!

    Courtney Riedel introduced me to your family, and you have been in my prayers. Know that you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. You are blessed to have each other and such wonderful friends and family. To God be the Glory!

    I came across your story on Babycenter and wanted to send you my condolences. I live across the country, but will be with you in spirit. I hope you are able to find peace at some point. You are both very strong people and I hope the road only gets better from here on out. Lots of love!

    found your blog through another blog. i’m so very sorry to hear about your loss. i honestly have no words for you, but i am praying strength, comfort and encouragement over you, and as courtni said, that God would be glorified through you and these little lives.

    Courtney, we were in chorus together at HHS. My Maiden name is Holliday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God be with your family and friends during this difficult time. May you find peace and comfort somehow. If there is anything we can do please let me know. Love, Kelly

    I have followed your blog for some time now. Your family is in our prayers during this time. I pray for God’s peace to be on you Friday and that He will wrap you and your family in His love and grace. May God be blessed in all of this.
    Love In Christ,
    The Reynolds Family in TN

    Courtney and Allen,
    I am holding you up in prayer in Virginia. I have one child and two grandchildren in heaven and always took comfort in knowing they were in the presence of our Lord and having a great time in heaven! What a wonderful day it will be when we are all reunited! Tomorrow you will be surrounded in prayer from those who are with you and those who cannot be.

    I am from Indiana. If I could be there. I would. My heart is drawn to you and your family.

    I will keep you in my prayers. It would be an honor.

    Take care,
    Amy

    Courtney, I don’t know if you remember me, but I remember you from NewSpring. I found the link to this website on facebook and have been following your story the last couple of weeks. I am very sorry that you and Allen are going through this. My heart has been breaking for you. You and Allen are in our prayers and in the prayers of our homegroup. Though your loss is impossible to understand, God will be with you. He’s proven His love and faithfulness to me so many times when circumstances seemed to lack hope. I will be thinking about you and praying for you and your family tomorrow and after.

    I am praying that God’s grace and mercy fills you both tommorrow. I think about you everyday. Hugs!

    My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.

    Psalm 119:28

    Praying for the Lord’s perfect peace to hold you.

    I have not met your family, but we have been praying for you. I lost one of my triplets this Fall. We too had a blog and I was constantly amazed at the number of people who were praying for our family. Many people told me that our son Andrew’s brief life touched them deeply. Now, as I have followed your blog, I know what they were talking about. Although brief, the lives of your children and the life that you live each day as a follower of Christ have made an eternal difference. You will not know this side of eternity how the Lord will use your experience in the lives of others. The service today will be one of grief and mourning, but not without hope. I will pray that God will give you His perfect peace.

    in our thoughts and prayers today! love you guys!

  21. *~Michelle~* on March 20, 2009 8:40 am

    prayers being lifted up in your name…..may you find peace, strength and comfort in Jesus during this difficult time.
    I cannot imagine the emotions you are going through…..I will just continue to pray that you feel God’s arms holding you close.

  22. Jessica on March 20, 2009 12:55 pm

    I know today will be extremely hard. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

  23. Kris on March 20, 2009 3:12 pm

    Praying for you right now as you honor your precious babies that are now with our Lord!! That God will surround you with peace that passes all our understanding!

  24. Carolyn on March 20, 2009 5:02 pm

    Alan and Courtney,
    The way that your lives exemplify and glorify Jesus is so beautiful. It is my hope and desire that my love for Jesus can one day resemble yours. My prayers are with you.
