Dear Family and Friends,
(this is Tom by the way)
We want to thank you for your continued faith and hope. We've not given up either, and hope you will continue to pray for my girls. We know that Heavenly Father is watching us and holding onto us. The spirit in this setting is un-like any earthly experience I've had. There are beeps and constant noise, people constantly moving in and out, and it feels like we're in a fish bowl. Yet the spirit has been so strong that it's thick in the air. We know many have prayed (and continue to pray), and have sacrificed on our behalf. I do believe those prayers are being answered, but in ways only God knows. Our Saviours love for all of us is real and tangable, and he's here with us now. We love you and, and thank you for your love and support of our family and glad that Gracie has been loaned to us for as long as Heavenly Father sees fit to touch our lives, and have such an incredible impact on us.

I can testify as well to the spirit that is felt in the PICU. It is amazing. We depended so much upon the spirit to guide our every choice and prayed that the doctors would be guided as well. We now will pray that you continue to be guided by the spirit. We believe in miracles in all aspects. Some of the miracle we witnessed were not what we thought they would be and others were. No matter what, we knew that it was part of His plan. It is odd that when you are fighting for your childs life and trying to hold it all together that you can definalty "feel your Saviors love in all the world around you."
We also pray for your other children. We know that this is hard on them as well.
With Hope and Love,

Thanks Tom- your positive attitude is truly helping all of us get through this tough time. We are so glad you are able to feel the Spirit and grow closer to Heavenly Father. That is what Gracie wants, I am sure. You are in the presence of one of Gods choice spirits. Anyone who has seen Gracie in person or through pictures can feel her sweet spirit. Thank you so much for letting us share in her life. We are all better, more caring people because of her. We are here for you and are waiting to help anyway we can.
Love, Stef and Family
PS- I thought Max might need a diversion, so Josh has been talking to him on the phone for about a 1/2 hour now....
Tom:
You are a wonderful and kind father. Connie and I want you to know how much we love and respect you. You honor your Priesthood with humble dignity. The way you love your children is amazing. Thank you for the example you are in my life, and the lives of many.

Tom- Thanks for your inspiring words and your amazing faith. During a time when we all feel at a loss to know what to do or how to help, thank you for sharing such an intimate moment into what you, Michele and Gracie are going through. The spirit feels strong just reading your thoughts. We continue to pray for you all....
Tom- Your testimony is wonderful. It is evident in your words why you were chosen to be gifted this sweet, miracle, Gracie. I believe Heavenly Father can perform miracles and we will not give up in our prayers for one.
Tom and Michelle-
Liz told me about Gracie and I've been following your families story! You've been in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be. I was so sad tonight when I saw your news today. Gracie is beautiful and fits into your family perfectly. I'm so glad she's your forever!
Love always,
Debbie Gregory
Oh Tom and Michele
I know words cannot express my thoughts right now. But I can tell you one thing for sure-no matter what happens here with little Gracie, it is obvious the blessing she is in your lives. Thank you for sharing not only this journey, but your testimonies. It strengthens all of us. You will continue to feel the Savior is ways that are not even comprehendable. Treasure every moment! You are so strong and such great examples to all of us to live our lives just that much better!
Much Love,
Annette & Rob
My heart goes out to your family. It is so difficult to lose an angel, but there is so much peace that Gracie is yours forever! I pray you are blessed with the strength and peace to get through this extremely difficult time. I do miss the spirit that we felt so strongly there. It is unlike any other. What a fighter Gracie is. We continue to pray in your family's behalf.
All our love and prayers and hugs,
Emily and Mike Gourley
