...or is it just the beginning?
Around 2:15 today our Anarazell Joy got to see her Creator.
If you have been praying for a miracle...it has happened...she is now perfect.
If you have been praying that she would get to go home...she has.
It was the hardest, the most heartbreaking thing in the world, to say to the nurse...
"We're ready".
She went very easy.
There was only one pose that we wanted a picture of without all her hoses, and we wanted to kiss her on the mouth...something we were unable to do with all the hoses.
After that we just held, hugged, kissed and cried over her until she went to be with the Lord. Only thing I could say was..."Into your hands, Oh Lord, I commit my daughter's spirit..."
She was so small.
Please...please keep praying for us. Our road hasn't now ended...it is just beginning in many ways.
Pray for Jen's sweet spirit...I don't want her to get hard.
Pray for Isabella. We saw her today for a while, and she was busy cutting and pasting a card for, "Her little sister". When I told her that Anarazell died today her face just fell, and she said, "Don't say baby died...this is for her".
Pray for me as I grieve for my daughter...and help my family at the same time...
God, we know you are in control, and have done everything for a reason. We don't understand...and don't see what you are doing right now, but we accept it by faith. Lord, I want to believe, please help my unbelief.

Thank you for sharing this journey with us. We love you and continue to hold you before our Father in our prayers.
Dave & Bev
Justin, Jen & Isabella:
As I shed tears for you, I am reminded that your precious Anarazell Joy sings with the angels. May our Father in heaven hold you close and comfort you beyond measure.
Love,
Wendi (& Katie's family)
Words at times like these seem inappropriate and a prayer and a hug and just to sit with you guys would seem more appropriate. We are thinking of you and our hearts go out to you in your loss.
Love Randy Laura and girls
know that God is in control and that your precious girl is sitting with Jesus now, laughing with Him, listening to His wonderful stories, and waiting for us all to get there when that trumpet sounds!! God be with you...
Lord God, you are father, and you are maker. Please Lord be with this family through their new struggles of grief. Father I pray you wrap your arms around them, and show them how you are going to use this for your glory. Lord that you would uplift their spirits and make them whole.
Thank you Lord for letting Anarazell Joy come to meet you face to face today. Thank you for the time Justin and Julie were able to spend with her.
Lord you are the comforter. Thankyou
amen
Dear Justin, Jennifer and Isabella!
We cry with you even when we hardly can imagine the pain you must be going through.
It is to much for you to carry this burden, but not for HIM. We pray that you will be able to focus your mind on HIM - what probably is the hardest thing to do right now. We keep lifting you up in prayer!
Love,
Thomas & Petra and the girls
Thank you for sharing your beautiful
baby's life, during her very brief time here on earth. She touched so many lives and I believe her story
will continue to do so in the years
to come.
Anarazell IS home and you will see her
again!!! Hoping that TRUTH will bring
you a little hope in the midst of your terrible pain.
Praying for all of you-especially today...and in the days ahead.
Love,
Mike & Lois Clochesy(Erin's parents)
We will continue to pray for you and cry with you. We know God's way is perfect even though it is so hard at times, especially in losing a child. We rejoice with you that your precious little girl is no longer suffering but is perfect in the arms of our Lord. We rejoice also that you were able to spend two precious weeks with Anarazell. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your story and your lives with us. We'll be praying for you during these difficult days, weeks and months to come.
Love, The Reeces
Dear Justin, Jennifer and Isabella,
Our hearts break for you and know that God will continue to be your comfort and strength during this difficult time. We are praying for you now and during the days ahead.
Love
Mike & Barb Phlaum
I am praying for you.
And weeping with you.
And rejoicing for Anarazell.
But understanding that everything seems to suck right now.
I am amazed by your strength to share your experience as it unfolds. You are undoubtedly helping countless people you have never met and will never know.

Jenny, Justin, and Isabella,
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. I am so blessed to see God working in and thrue you. We love you and will continue to pray for you all.
Jesus, thank you for being the way. Thank you for shedding your blood for us, that we might be with you for all eternity, in a place where only righteousness dwells. Oh God, you are the God of all comfort, our counselor and peace. Please abundantly bless Jenny and Justin and Isabella right now. Thank you. Amen... Love, Jalna
Dear Justin and Jennifer,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss of Anarzell. We have been praying for strength and comfort for you, and we are grieving with you, even though we cannot possibly feel what you are feeling. We just wanted to say how much we love you, and thank you for sharing this difficult time in life with us.
Jon, Leanne, and Sammo
May the Lord God grant you peace and understanding. Heavenly Father, wrap your arms around this family and comfort them in the days to come. Remind them that Anarzell is whole, and full of joy as you welcome her home to your loving arms. One day, they will all be together as a family.
I have never been so moved... I just want you to know that I love you and your family very much, even though I don't know you, I do know that you are fellow believer and brothers and sisters to me. Thanks for sharing your heart with us all...
