Eternally Healed

After 7 awesome days, at 7:00am (CT) Sunday morning; Amaya Faith went on to her eternal home in heaven to be with Jesus. With the bright sunny morning breaking on the horizon, Amaya Faith took her last breath right where she would have wanted to be; in the arms of her mother rocking her gently in a chair, and with dad gently stroking her cheeks. Amaya lived a total of seven and a half glorious days, each filled with love and adoration.

We would like to say thank you to everyone for praying, helping, and standing with us through this time. We are so very blessed and honored to have been Amaya’s parents even if only for a short while. We have hearts bursting with great joy, even in our grief, and look forward to the day when we will spend eternity in heaven with her. Thank you all, we love you so much.

    Our thoughs and prayers are with your family.

    We lost our Allie after 22 days on March 3, 2004 to HPE. I can smile when I look at Amaya’s photos and can picture her and Allie walking hand in hand in the streets of Heaven.

    We praise the Lord for the 7 days that you were able to spend with your daughter and praise him for all the lives that she has and will continue to touch.

    In Christ,

    It is so sad to say good-bye to our littlest angel, Amaya Faith, who captured our hearts from the moment she arrived. I know she is up in heaven with Grandma Carolyn and cousin April, who will watch over her till we can all be together. Sending deepest sympathy and much love to Gina, Aaron, Jaden, Zoe and Tierney.

    Aaron, Gina and girls… What a testamony you have been and please know that you are in our prayers and we rejoice with you even as we grieve with you. To be absent in body means to be present with Jesus and who could wish for her back? I am so glad that I was made aware of this website because I would have missed out on a very precious gift and miracle. THANK YOU.. and may Amaya Faith rest in peace forever more with her creator!

    We love you..

    Just checking in this morning to find that Amaya Faith left your arms on Sunday morning only to be craddled now by Jesus. Again I want to thank you for your continued sharing of your faith. As a mother and grandmother my heart aches for you in the emptyness you must feel. Let that emptyness be filled with the knowledge you will all be together again one day….Amaya Faith beaming as you come to join her in our eternal home. We continue to pray for all of you. The photos Evan’s took are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them and your journey with all of us.

    Peace and prayers

    We love you and the girls so very much. We will be with you all tomorrow and will share and celebrate little Amaya’s life and revel in the way she has touched all of our lives and the lives of others. I will never forget the way her little legs and arms felt against my hand as she slept. The Lord has truly blessed you both and everyone for having known her.

    I’m so sorry to hear of Amaya Faith’s passing. I have viewed her pictures and she was such a cutie pie and the professional photographer’s pictures are absolutely wonderful. I’m glad you were able to spend a week with your daughter. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you move through this painful journey.

    Coming across Amaya´s website made my day special.
    It is beautiful to see the opportunity you gave yourselves to experience unconditional love! She is cute, divine, precious, and so are you. Congratulations for the sweet, blessed moments you three spent together, They must have been special and full of magic becuase you have allowed God´s will to be there, among the three of you.
    I will always think about your FAITH as an example for life.
