Our sweet Ruby Jane went Home to be with her Father in Heaven last night. We both knew that her mission in this life was completed, and it was time for her to go Home.

I found your story through Natalie Norton's photo blog. My entire family is sending their prayers and aloha to you, in hopes to help comfort you and reaffirm your faith that Heavenly Father loves us, the Plan of Salvation is true, and that your beautiful, beautiful baby, Ruby Jane, is indeed living with Him who loves us most of all.

My heart aches for you and your family. I do know you will hold her in your arms again. Sending so much love and many prayers to you and your family. Ruby has touched my heart, even though I've never met her. Her sweet spirit lives on.

I pray for peace for your sweet family. Your Ruby lived a full, beautiful life here on this earth. She experienced love, and joy, and pain. She fought hard, and she touched many lives. She completed her mission, and now she has returned Home. I do hope that you can find comfort in knowing that you will be reunited with her again someday. And until you meet again, remember Ruby's example. Live as she has lived. Keep on fighting, and loving, and rejoicing. Keep on living. Ruby will be cheering you on every step on the way:)

Ani,
I'm friends with Carly C. and Erin T, your old VT (small world!). I read your blog from start to finish this week and just ache inside for your loss. Tears just streamed down my face as I read about your family's story. What a beautiful and destined baby girl who changed the world in her short 7 months. What an amazing person!! Who can do that in a lifetime, let alone 7 months?? You "perspective" post really spoke to me as I am a mother of six. I have a 4 month old right now and can't imagine the pain of losing her. You have tremendous courage and strength to have let us all in to your world. Thank you for letting us fall in love with sweet Ruby Jane. What a special little girl. I will forever think of her and her courage. And I will appreciate my role as a mother more than I ever have. Thank you for changing my life. Prayers and thoughts for your family.

I hopped onto your blog from Make it and Love it- I was so touched by your sweet Ruby. I am LDS, too, and am glad for the knowledge of eternal families. I just thought maybe knowing that someone thinking and praying for you may help. My brother passed away 3 years ago, and I have become so much more sensitive because of it and really appreciated when people would just talk about it. My heart is with you.

Ruby is beautiful. I live up the coast in Washington and just found about your Angel. Eternally Families, the greatest gift of peace a mother has.

I just read your blog from March until now in the past couple of hours. I am so touched by the experiences of you and your family and your honesty with everyone. I am so sorry for your loss and heartache. I can't imagine how hard this must have been on you and everyone in your family. Ruby Jane must have been such a sweet angel to have needed to go home to Heavenly Father at such a young age. Thank you for making me appreciate the moments I have with my baby. Best to you and your family.

I'm sorry we did not know till today. Reading your blog was tender and we wept for your loss and aching. But the testimony you bore in your blog today was a comfort to us, as I know it is what is carrying you. She was a wonderful gift you got to hold and care for. May the Lord comfort and assure you is our prayer.

I just wanted to say how very truly sorry I am for your loss. What a beautiful baby she was-and what a wonderful family she had here on earth even if it was so brief. I hope you feel the support of your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and their arms around you as you struggle to heal and go on. One of my favorite hymns says "Fear Not, I am with thee oh be not dismayed. For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee help thee and cause thee to stand. Upheld by my righteous Omnipotent Hand." Thanks so much for sharing your story-I feel like it has changed my perspective as a Mother and I hope to be able to love my own children with any measure of the love devotion that you have bestowed on both your girls. You are a wonderful mother and example to us all. You are in my prayers. I know Heavenly Father will help you.

I was so touched by your story. I know that Ruby was here for a reason and through you help will come for others. May God Bless you and your lovely family. I have posted on fb asking my friends to consider organ donation and to see your blog..any little bit helps.

Dear Ani,
I have two beautiful boys and I have lately become stressed with the late nights and messy house. After reading about sweet Ruby, I am touched and resolve to hold my own boys a little tighter and love them a little more. I have had three miscarriages, but I know our Heavenly Father watches over his precious children no matter how long (or little) they have been here on Earth. Bless you and your family. Find joy in that you were given such a sweet spirit to care for.
