I just wanted all of you to know around 4:15pm our sweet little Kelsey Girl went to be with Jesus. We love her and will miss her so very much. The Lord blessed us so much in such a short time with Kelsey.
Thanks again for your support and prayer,
Patti

Go forth, O Christian soul, out of this world, in the Name of God the Father almighty, Who created you; in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, Who suffered for you; in the Name of the Holy Ghost, Who sanctified you, in the name of the holy and glorious Mary, Virgin and Mother of God; in the name of the angels, archangels, thrones and dominions, cherubim and seraphim; in the name of the patriarchs and prophets, of the holy apostles and evangelists, of the holy martyrs, confessors, monks and hermits, of the holy virgins, and of all the saints of God; may your place be this day in peace, and your abode in Holy Sion. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry but yet so happy that that sweet baby girl is now sitting at the feet of our Lord!! I know this is so hard for you but you rest in the fact that SO many people are lifting you up in prayer and that God is with you every step of the way. I know it doesn't make it easier so just know you are loved and surrounded by many, many friends!! Thank you for sharing each victory and trial with us! Continuing to pray for you!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hug her in Heaven. She will forever have an impact on my life. You, Andy and Keeton are in our prayers. Wish we could hug you in person. Long arms across Texas. May God give you peace and comfort and may your memories of the time you had with Kelsey remain strong.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with all of us the past few months. What a blessing she has been to us and will continue to be. Her life on earth may have been short but her testimony will live forever. We are praying for your family and love you!

My heart is breaking for you all right now. Kelsey's life has shined such a bright light on your family and revealed the beautiful relationship you have with each other and the faith you share. I know that your inner strength and the support of your family and friends will allow you to continue focusing on the best parts of your time with your precious daughter. Thank you so much for sharing her with us all. She will not be forgotten and will always be greatly loved. -Amy Guinn McDow
ReplyDeleteI just broke down and cried with my wife. She had no idea why until I explained it to her. We've been married for three years now and she's never seen me cry for any reason at all and it kind of weirded her out at first.
ReplyDeleteFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing this difficult time in your lives. It was touched a lot of people's hearts, mine especially.
God Bless your family and God Bless Baby Kelsey.....
James and Christie Durall
The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.
ReplyDeleteOur hearts are saddened tonight as we grieve for your family and your loss. Our prayers are with you and know that Kelsey is at peace with our Lord. God Bless you.

Patti & Andy,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I agree with Amy that this situation has given your family an opportunity to shine in an unusual way. Your Kelsey Girl gave many people the chance to see Jesus in and through you, and I am sure her life allowed Him to work on you both in many ways. We will pray for your comfort as you walk through the most painful parts of this whole experience.
Please let us know if there will be a funeral service or memorial service for more than just family.
Much love,
Laura (for Abraham, Abby and Andrew) Joseph
May God's hand be on your shoulders tonight as you mourn your earthly loss and may He lift your voices as you sing praises to Heaven's gain. My heart goes out to you, my prayers stay with you. Your beautiful Kelsey sleeps with the angels tonight.

Lamentations 3:31-33
For men are not cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men.
Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Andy and Patti, I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet little girl. We will continue to pray for your family.

Dearest Patti, Andy,and Keeton,
ReplyDeleteI can barely see through my tears as I write this...what a blessing Kelsey has been for so many. She has certainly touched our lives more than you can ever know. Our entire family reads this blog...including those out of state.
May you feel the love of everyone...people you will never meet, but whose lives you have touched in a very special way. Thank you for allowing us to share in this blessed experience. May you all be blessed with comfort at this time. Sending all our love and prayers your way...
Wes, Cassie,and Wesley Crews
She was so very, very special
ReplyDeleteAnd was so from the start
You held her in your arms
But mainly in your heart
And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall,
Her life did ripples make
And touched the lives of all
She's gone to play with angels
In heaven up above
So keep your special memories
And treasure them with love
Although your darling daughter
Was with you just a while
She'll live on in your heart
With a sweet remembered smile

I have followed your precious story throught the Crews family all the way in England and im so sorry to hear of your loss. You were blessed for the time you had with such a gourgous baby who has touched the life of so many people. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you had to say goodbye to your angel for now. I will pray for your family. She is safely in the arms of Jesus. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteI just started reading your blog yesterday and started praying for your family. I am so sorry to hear that your sweet baby Kelsey passed away. You are still in my prayers. May God give you peace that passes all understanding. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. God Bless you and your beautiful family.

Amazing love living an amazing example for all of us...what a joy it is knowing we have a new Angel in Heaven named Kelsey...can't wait to see her there!
ReplyDeleteLifting your family up in prayer. {{{HUG}}}
ReplyDeleteI met Kelsey's dad while my grandson was in surgery at Children's Medical Center. That is when I began praying for the family. When I got home, I awakened in the middle of the night and prayed for Kelsey. I also asked my group of Pray-Ers to add you in their prayers. You are still being prayed for. Your strong faith will abide.
ReplyDeleteLuv, Bettye Anderson
continued prayers for peace and support.
ReplyDeleteWe have thought of you often and your family has been in our prayers. We wish we could be there to support you the way you supported us during our trials with Caulin. May you be comforted with the knowledge that you will be with your beautiful daughter again someday. Put your hope in Christ and He will support you. We love you.

Dear Patti, Andy and Keeton,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you had to let sweet baby Kelsey go. She has touched so many people so deeply, and your steadfast faith has been a powerful witness to so many (many of whom you'll never even meet). I praise God for the time he gave you with Kelsey and that Kelsey is now safe in the arms of her Maker and no longer in any discomfort. Owen has been praying for Kelsey to feel better every night--I'm trying to explain to him that she's gone to be with Jesus and feels perfect now. I will pray for healing on your whole family. I love you all! Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Andy, Patti, Keeton & family,
ReplyDeleteAs I pray that Kelsey is being cradled in the arms of Jesus, I also pray that in time your hearts are comforted and find peace. What a miracle that a such a sweet and tiny little girl can have such a profound impact on so many people. The blessings your family has shared with us all will be in our hearts forever, as will your precious Kelsey Girl. We're all here for you - not just in the height of your grief but for the long haul. Let me know if you need anything. Love you, Kristin
Patti, Andy, and family,
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for your loss and sadly rejoices that Kelsey is now in the presence of her Savior. I will continue to lift up your family in the coming weeks and months ahead.
We love you and pray that the Lord's Peace beyond understanding envelopes all of you. God's Blessings be with you.
ReplyDeleteRick and Mary Helen
I am so very sorry for your loss. My family and I will continue to pray for you and your family as long as you need us to. Kelsey's time on Earth was so short but her life touched so many people. She was such a sweet blessing!
ReplyDeleteLifting you up in prayer! Kesley couldn't have had a better family to spend 6 months with! Also praying as you start life without your angel, but happy as Kelsey is whole and can run and play!
ReplyDeleteAndy and Patti,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't bring myself to post a comment last night ... I have no words ... anything I could say seems so insignificant. I'm just so sad for you! You have been such examples to everyone who knows you! How in the world do some people go through such a time without the hope that we share? Please let us know if we can do ANYTHING AT ALL, and know that we love you and are praying for you!
I am so blessed to have been able to follow your little angel's last weeks of her life. What a precious child she was to touch so many lives in her short time in our world. I thank my church New World United Methodist for the chance to join in praying to give you and your family the strength to pull together for comfort and support through this adjustment. I have no doubt my angel, "Dena`e", held your angel, "Kelsey", tiny hand till she was safely in His loving arms!
ReplyDeleteOnly in His name,
-Ginger Allen
Kelsey could not have been in a more loving, caring family than yours.
ReplyDeleteAlthough her struggle is over, new ones now begin for the three of you. There is nothing that can be said to comfort you except to tell you to seek solace in God, family and friends. There you will find the love and strength to help you cope with this terrible tragedy.

I will be praying for your family as your little girl looks on you from Jesus' lap- you have set quite an example of trusting in God's perfect time for everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat an angel-- her beautiful eyes and sweet smile have to be lighting up Heaven. Even in her fragile state she was a girl that provided and showed such strength personally and through her family. Without words she was able to tell such a wonderful story of God's love. Thank you Kelsey for sharing with us all- we will miss you but never forget you and will see you again one day. We will keep praying for your family~ The Whites: Rob, Tam, Averi, Addie, Eston, Emma,and Alex
ReplyDeleteAndy and Patti,
ReplyDeleteOur hearts are broken for you. We are praying for you and your family. Sweet Kelsey is in God's hands now and 100% healed. Take comfort in that.
We send our prayers. We are so amazed and inspired by how you have lived out your faith and trusted God throughout these past 6 difficult months. We pray that God would encourage you and allow you to meet non-Christians that have witnessed you both and therefore witnessed what it means to be a Christian and rely on God. You have been the face of God to many who do not know Him.
Our hearts are broken with you.
We also will be praying specifically for Keeton. It is hard for adults to understand. It is even harder for children to understand. We pray for friends to step in and help love on Keeton and play with him giving you time to grieve.
We are your biggest fans!
Love from Estonia,
Christy and Stas and Kai
Here I sit, crying tears for a family I don't even really know. I just found your blog a week ago. But still I am all choked up from this amazing little soul, Kelsey!! What far reaching powers she had in her short 6 months. I pray for your continued peace as you hand her over to a better life in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of hugs, love and prayers.
ReplyDeleteTiniest Missionary
ReplyDeleteGod sent His smallest missionary
a precious bundle sweet
To remind us of His perfect love
she came on angel feet
The mission required a special bond
He chose her family well
Parents with the strongest faith
God's story she had to tell
So much courage it took to stay
until her job was done
Her fragile little body ached
to return to the arms of the Son
She held on as long as she could
spreading God's message around
Through her family's faithfulness
we saw miracles abound
Our heavenly Father smiled down on her
the work on earth was done
He held out His loving arms
gathering up the little one
She left her depleted body behind
without it her spirit can soar
Behind her she leaves a legacy of love
and waits on that distant shore
Life on earth is incredibly short
soon her family will be reunited
To love and laugh and share the joy
that her visit to earth ignited
Our pain is multiplied as hers is gone
we will miss her smile and bright eyes
But we feel the warmth of the Comforter
and look to resurrection's sunrise.

You are an amazingly inspirational family! Kelsey must be so proud! We lost our 2-1/2 YO twin daughter, Emma, 2 years ago and share a similar pain with you. Angels they are, together now!!
ReplyDeleteBe Blessed!
Lovingly,

Love that sweet Kelsey girl!
ReplyDeleteAndy, Patti & Keeton,
Just wanted you guys to know I'm praying for you everyday and I know little missy is enjoying the room that HE prepared for her! I'm praising God that Kelsey's sweet little body is healed. She went to see Jesus with a pink bow in her hair and a smile on her face--and you know bows are a big deal for me :)
I also wanted to let you know that everyone here in the CVICU has been working on finishing her necklace--I have a surprise! Miss Kelsey was an amazingly courageous girl, and you are amazing parents.
We love you very much!
Love,
Libby
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss of sweet Kelsey! You are in my thoughts and prayers! May God give you strength, peace and grace today and always! Love, Hugs and Prayers!!!
ReplyDeleteAndy & Patti. For 2 days I've been trying to think of comforting words for you. Something wonderful and inspiring- but I've come up with very little. My heart is broken for you. I am so sorry that sweet baby K is no longer with you. But today she is happy. She is running and dancing and playing & laughing and waiting for you all to be together again. And until then she will be your gardian angel, watching over you always.
ReplyDeleteFamilies are forever. I really do believe this and I know you will get to be with Kelsey again. (((((hugs)))))
Amy
Your little Angel tugs at my heart and will forever be remembered. Our heart and prayers are with your family. I will be forever grateful for your families strength, love, and example.

Patti, Andy and Keeton,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted you to know we are thinking about you and praying for you all right now. She is such an inspiration, a fighter and an overall beautiful little girl. I know she is with our Lord and that Penny and Aunt Nell are also wrapping her in their arms and spoiling her with love and hopefully some fried pies.
I have never seen such strength in a family and you are all truly inspirational.
With all of our love, Vandi, Jason and Braden
