Presley I know that your family loved you very much and loosing you to be Gods Little Angel is the hardest thing they will ever have to do in their lifetime, but you are in a much better place. Your parents unselfish decision to help 3 other kids was a very honorable thing to do and part of you will live on for a long time on earth. I wish I could have been at your funeral but previous commitments kept me away. I am very glad I got to see you in the hospital in your last days of life., You are a very beautiful little girl and you have touched so many lives! Becky and Kevin I will continue to pray for all of the family daily.

We just got thru watching the video.. She was such a precious and beautiful girl.. We don't know what is in God's plan, but He does.. When I am troubled or worried I have this word from God,, Be still and know that I am God. It helps to know that he is taking care of us.. I know that Presley Faith is in God's hands now.. Can you imagine how happy she must be?
Thank you for the organ donations . I can tell you first hand how much this will help others. Our granddaughter was 2 weeks old when we found out she needed a heart.. At 2 months she got one from a precious family.. She will be 3 in Aug. and without that heart she would not be here to give us so much joy..
God Bless your family as you go thru this time of grief. We have been thinking and praying for you . May God hold your hand thru this...
I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss. I work with Katie at Stoneybrook and she is a very dear friend. She always talked about her family and I feel as if I know all of you thru her. I know what you are going thru we lost a son in 1988 he was 14 months old and it is very hard and I am truly sorry. If you ever just want to talk please get my number from K atie and call. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
We are so sorry for your loss. We will continue to pray for the family.
Allen, Ronaee and all the rest of the family; I am so sorry for your loss. I won't try to pretend that I know your pain, I don't. I do know that all of us are here on loan for a while. We all have a job to do while we are here and some of us finish our jobs sooner than others. We may not know His purpose for us, but we will fill that purpose in His time, not ours. I love you all and have you in my prayers.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful precious grand daughter. I was in the ER with my own dtg. when you and your family came in with Presley. I have prayed daily for Presley and for you sweet Karen, and just can't get you out of my thoughts. If there's anything I can do for you please call on me.

Dear parents and family of precious baby Presley,
, Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear infant, Presley. It seems no greater saddness is felt than when someone so deeply loved is lost. May you find comfort in your memories and draw strength from a promise God has provided which gives the hope provided by his son, Jesus, of someday being reunited with our loved ones (John 5:28,29). This promised future will be filled with great joy because it includes perfect health and everlasting life on a paradise earth where "the former things have passed away" (Rev. 21:4, Psalms 37:29). So during this most difficult time may you find some comfort in knowing that Jehovah God (Psalms 83:18) does care and He does hear our cries. With most sincere sympathy my condolences.
Dianne Mullins

Ronaee' and Rhonda and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of little Presley. Although I had never met her, I know she had to be just precious!

Nae’ Nae’ and Papa love and miss you so much. We will cherish every single moment we shared with you and will always remember your beautiful smile. I told you when you were born that I was so excited to finally have a girl, but that you would have to be patient with me because I kind of specialized in boys. I made a promise to you that I would learn how to tie bows for your hair. We know you are the most beautiful angel in Heaven. When I get to Heaven with you I will tie that bow in your hair like I promised I would.
We love you baby girl, Love Nae’ & Papa.
To Devin and Ashley: Allen and I are so proud of both of you. You are wonderful, loving parents and have had to make some very difficult decisions the past few days. The two of you and Presley have given the miracle of life to three other babies and that is a remarkable, selfless thing to do. We love you both more than you could possibly know.
Love, Mom & Allen
My prayers are with you and your family! Presley, I know your grandmother loved you with all of her heart! She will never forget you! Karen, I am here for you and I'm praying every day!

An important job
God has for you,
There is love to give,

He needs an angel
strong but small,
To shine light on many
and give love to all.
Before you go
I give you this,
half my heart
and one last kiss.
We'll miss you dearly
that we know,
But by God you were
chosen,
So to heaven, you must go
My heart goes out to you all> Words can not express how I feel or how I want to help. God hold you all near and give you strength Love you Karen & Mark
