Just wanted to let you all know... we lost our precious girl tonight at 5:35. We knew the end was coming... she had a very difficult day and we were anticipating it, but nothing can possibly prepare your heart for something so hard. We are clinging to the knowledge that she is no longer suffering but is in her Savior's arms. Our time with her in heaven will be so much greater and so much more special than even the most incredible days we've spent with her here on earth. We are so thankful for every memory the Father gave us. I will never regret a single second spent as her mommy.
Sellers and her Daddy spent some time outside on the back porch talking, so she knows. Thank you for your prayers and for your sweet encouragement.
We love you all...

May the angels lead you into paradise;
may the martyrs come to welcome you,
and take you to the Holy City,
the new and eternal Jesusalem.
May the choirs of angels welcome you
and lead you to Abraham's Side;
where Lazarus is poor no longer
may you find eternal rest. Amen.
Farewell, baby Copeland. Conor and Boothe, thank you for sharing her with us. Prayers for your family.
What comfort it is to know that her last breath in your arms was the first in the arms of Jesus. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift of Copeland with us and for teaching us so much. Praying for you all.
Thank you for sharing your family with all of us. I have been blessed by following your journey. Last night I cried tears of joy for all the love that you have shown your daughter, and the example to her big sister. May God continue to give you grace and blessings. She is now free from all disease and dances with the father and is embraced by her mother "Mary" in heaven.

Boothe And Conor, I am so sad for you. I am trying to pray but it is so emotional and confusing and final.
I am so sorry about ALL the little details none of us can really get. I imagine you really had to be there, huh? I would like to ask you, if this isn't a bad time, to please keep up with us a few more times.
We need to know when you begin to heal. God bless you and Sellers as you wander through this unknown murky land. And it is okay, when you are ready to be ok, to be okay. I have worried about poor Boothes recovery never being mentioned. Maybe she can get the attention she needs now. She did have SURGERY followed by severe stress! Love Always, another mommie
Oh Boothe and Conor...we hurt so much for yall. Praying for you both and sweet Sellers. Copeland changed and will continue to change so many lives and now she is safe in the arms of her Savior. Love, Jennifer and Will Godwin
Praying that you will continue to find comfort in Jesus! Copeland blessed so many people with her sweet life. Thank you for sharing her with all of us.
Boothe and Connor,
The angels have escorted her into the heavenly realms. She is resting peacefully with her heavenly father. How we all miss her here on earth! Praying for you and sweet Sellers.
So, so sorry for your pain.
She is alive - sadly just not where you can be with her at this time.
From Northern IN, know there are fellow believers here who have been watching your blog daily and praying for your family and sweet Sellers delicate soul that is experiencing such a painful reality of life on this earth.
We'll continue to pray. Only God's grace can go to the deepest part of your hurt.
I am so sorry for your loss. It is comforting to know that she is happy and without pain. I will continue to keep your precious family in my prayers.
I pray that you can find the strength you need and take comfort in knowing that you will see your baby girl again someday. don't forget that during this difficult time you still have each other and the support of all these people who love you.
"Oh LORD, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God. Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior." Psalm 38:21-22
You do not know me, but I, too, have been following your blog since the day Copeland was born. The LORD has used you and Copeland to strengthen my faith and re-evaluate my time here on Earth. May I be able to reach as many as Copeland did in her 8 days here. May I be a loving parent, as you both are. May I treasure each day that my children are with me and I with them.
LORD thank you for the Farley family, and for COPELAND...what a GIFT! Praise you!!!
I pray you continue to comfort them and that they know your presence constantly. He is our deliverer, our help, our creator, Savior, Father. I can't wait to be with Him, and to meet Copeland!

This brought me comfort when my dad passed away 13 years ago...
"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die!
~Mary Frye
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with y'all.
Love, Susan Welch and family
Praying for strength for you both.
I'm so glad that you were able to meet your daughter, to hold her and kiss her, and look into her eyes, and get to know her, before she died.
I was led to your blog by another one asking to pray for you and have not been able to leave my computer all week. My heart has been so extremely heavy for you and your family and your sweet daughters. Thank you for sharing your lives with the world and letting us see what it truly means to have faith! You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers! God's great grace and comfort to you sweet saints!

Dear Farley family,
May God hold you close in the days ahead as you rest in Him.
Thank you so much for sharing your hearts through this incredible journey of love. Many lives have been touched and enriched by your testimony of faith in the midst of your struggle.

Little Copeland is safely home...
Dear to God, Boothe,
Praising God for precious Copeland and rejoicing that she is safe in Jesus' arms, but also grieving with you in these moments. May our God, who is also acquainted with grief, be so near to you right now. May you feel the presence of His Spirit thick within your home. May you and Conor find sweet refuge in one another.
Your words have blessed my soul.
Courtney
I, too, know what it is to have a sweet baby daughter go Home. I am so sorry that Copeland is gone. You are a wonderfully blessed and strong family--and so wise. May God give you the measure of peace you need for each every day to come.
So sorry for your loss - yours as her mommy, Conor's as her daddy, Seller's as her sister. But so happy for Copeland... she is comfortable now, resting, at peace. Free. Strength to you now and always as you mourn the loss of your sweet angel.
You are being lifted before the Throne of Grace - what a precious gift you have given the world through your pain...you have given everything to the Father...hopes, dreams, and your precious little girl. Thank you for your testimony - you are being used by the Lord in a mighty way. Peace be with you.
Katie in Kentucky
Thank you so much for letting us all get to know Copeland and your family. I have been so touched by your faith and strength in these past few weeks. You are a living example of how Christ works within people.
Even though we don't know each other, I have felt so close to your situation through your blog and have shed many tears over the past week, as you've shared your journey with Copeland. She is a precious little angel and now she is safe in her Father's arms. Though that brings some comfort, the grief and hurt and anger are still very real and just know that you are entitled to feel all those things too.
Please continue to update us on how you are doing. You have touched many lives and thank you again for sharing yours and Copeland's lives with all of us.
Praying for your precious family. Your stories an insights on this blog have been an incredible testimony.
joyfully,
Erin

The only thing I know for certain is that God has perfect timing. I know that in the flesh, times like these are hard to comprehend. I do pray that you will come to a place of peace and rest in that!
Copeland Fair Farley . . . fully healed, wholly and eternally in the arms of Jesus. She has captured our hearts--thank you for sharing so generously. God's mercies are new every morning. I pray you rest and comfort this night.

Praying for you guys!!!
Praying and rejoicing that she is well.
There are no words, but know that your names are being lifted before the One who brings peace that passes all understanding.

Lord, Thank you. Thank you for bringing Copeland to this world. Thank you for giving her a life of love and compassion. Thank you for giving her to Conor and Boothe and for giving them the strength of heart to love her the way you intended. Thank you for giving her such a wonderful sister. And thank you for giving her parents the will to share their story with all of us, and in turn turn Copeland's life into an amazing testimony for you. May they feel the showering of love that is being sent to them through prayer. We rejoice that sweet Copeland is safe in your arms. Amen.

God has given us such amazing wisdom through little Copeland.
my tears and prayers are with you all.
Dear Boothe --
I have put you and your family on every prayer list I know. I remember you as a beautiful young woman whom God has given enormous faith and conviction. I am praying prayers of thanksgiving for the birth of Copeland and the blessings of her life. We who seek to console are consoled by your spirit. St. Francis says, "Seek not so much to be consoled as to console....For it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. I praise God that you and Conner know the promises of eternal life. God bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. Carole Hagan
I know there are no words. My heart breaks for you, while it rejoices for Copeland as I know her angels have carried her safely home by now. It puts a smile in my broken heart to imagine those two little girls sitting with Jesus tonight. Another dear saint, Suzanne (caringbridge.org/co/suzannehenry) went home to Our Father today, too. What a grand celebration it must be in Heaven tonight. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may you find peace enough to sleep tonight. My prayers for you will not cease.

I am so sorry. Her life was so short, but what an impact it made, literally around the world. I'll be praying for your entire family in the days and weeks to come . . .
I am so sorry . I have had your little Angel on my mind. She is in Heaven now, safe in the arms of Jesus. You will see Copeland again.
That you have .
so sorry. praying for you all.
I want to tell you that I am so sorry for this tremendous loss, however, Copeland is now whole and happy beyond our understanding. It is impossible for me to know what you are going through, but the comfort she is now perfect and in God's arms, hopefully will grant your heart some ease. You have know idea how many lives your inspirational words have touched-I mean-over 200 comments in less than 2 hours! So many people are still praying for you, and I sure hope you still keep us informed of how you and your family are doing. I will forever remember Copeland and her amazing life, as well as your determination as a parent and as God's child. Peace be with you and may you find comfort in knowing she is with her Father.
2TI 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have
kept the faith.
My heart is truly broken as I cry with you. Thank you for sharing your family, faith, and especially your story of love, hope, perserverence, and utmost trust in God Almighty through the eyes of the innocent. Copeland has been an inspiration to us all.
Lord,
For this special family, for this darling little girl who you are now holding in your arms, I pray for strength and peace for her parents and knowledge that they will see her in heaven one day.
In your Loving name,
Amen!
I have prayed unceasing for you and your family. Praise God for His work in your lives, and may you have the opportunity to share your testimony with mom's all over the world!
We will continue to pray for strength for you and your amazing family!
Love from Georgia!
Know that my prayers for your family will continue.
Praying for God to give you much peace and comfort during this time.
I am so sorry for your loss, but praise God her struggle is over,and she is in the arms of the Lord...happy and healthy. Our little Nathan who we lost just four weeks ago has a new adorable playmate:) You're all in our prayers and thoughts. Shannon, Chino Hills, CA
I am so sorry and saddened by your loss, but have been brought closer to Him by your witness. Please know that there are many of us (whom you do not even know) that bear some of your burden. May your load be a little lighter because of our prayers.
Visitor From Heaven
(Twila Paris)
A visitor from heaven
If only for awhile
A gift of love to be returned
We think of you and smile
A visitor from heaven
Accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love
And of a better place
With aching hearts and empty arms
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came
A visitor from heaven
If only for a day
We thank Him for the time He gave
And now it's time to say
We trust you to the Father's love
And to His tender care
Held in the everlasting arms
And we're so glad you're there
We're so glad you're there
With breaking hearts and open hands
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came
As a pregnant mother with a 20 month old, I am both mourning and rejoicing with you in this hour. Thank you for challenging us with such a real and transparent picture of your relationship with a holy, sovreign God. You ALL have touched countless lives forever. Our prayers are with you.
Thanks for letting us walk this journey with you guys and allowing us to pray for you and know your heart. The joy that Copeland's life has brought to you and so many others is amazing. Though she has left this earthly world, I know she has made an eternal impact in her time here. We will continue to lift you up in the days and months ahead. Love you, lish and mark
i am praying for all of you. i can't imagine the emotions you are going through but know you are being prayed for by a lot of people that don't even know you. your witness through all of this has been amazing... God has used your family and I know He will continue to do so. Praying...
Yes, safe in the arms of Jesus is where your sweet baby girl is. I pray that you feel safe in the arms of Jesus as well. There are so many people praying for you.
I pray HIS presence and love overtakes you and your strength comes from Him alone. I pray that peace that transcends all understanding becomes a reality to you. And, I give thanks that His mercy is new every morning and His grace is sufficient no matter what.
Thank you for sharing precious Copeland and this journey with us. Know that you have impacted us all so very much. I will never forget any of you and I look forward to meeting Copeland in the next life.
Please know we are still here as you go through the difficult days ahead. Know that we are continuing to pray for you and care very much for you. Praise be to God for blessing the world with little Copeland. We will never be the same. Rest in the loving arms of Jesus sweet girl.
"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that enables Him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body.
-Philippians 3:20-21
Dear Refuge of my weary soul,
On Thee when sorrows rise,
On Thee when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies.
To Thee I tell each rising grief
For Thou alone canst heal
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief
To every pain I feel.
But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call Thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to Thee
Though prostrate in the dust.
Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face,
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace,
Be deaf when I complain?
No still the ear of sovereign grace,
Attends the mourner's prayer
Oh may I ever find access,
To breathe my sorrows there
Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet.
Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet.
Our prayers will continue with you all, as your journey is not over. We praise God that sweet Copeland's struggles in this world are over and she is whole in the arms of our Savior. And yet our hearts ache as we can only imagine the pain that comes from losing a presious daughter.
Love, Grant and Megan (Ramsey) Reynolds
I cannot imagine your pain or your loss. I will be praying for you and ask that Jesus will wrap his arms around your family and you will feel his comfort as you never have experienced before.
i am so sorry for your loss, but i rejoice in heaven's gain. i am praying for your family. bless you.

Conor, Boothe, and Sellers,
I have no words b/c I have never been where you are at this moment. But, as I read through all of these comments, I am astounded. Many people live lifetimes of ordinary that do not have the impact that your precious Copeland has had on this earth. What a testimony to her little soul and God's ultimate purpose for her. And, also, to her God given parents. You both have been such a profound witness to the absolute essence of Jesus Christ and His faithfulness to His children. I am going to keep praying for all of you that God would be more real to you with each passing day. You all have an incredible body of believers that I know are ready to stand with you and walk with you. My prayers are for you to walk through this valley supported by this body and by the Father. Thank you for letting me see inside your journey.
Courtney (Nelms) Ashburn
Although I have never really met you, I wish I could hug you all. That's all I'd know to say.
Praying.
So, so sorry but praising God with you that she is safe in the arms of Jesus. She is in perfect health now and breathing freely. Loving you in Jesus right now and weeping right along with you as Jesus wept when Lazarus died. We have a Savior who identifies with your suffering. Judy
No words can express how my heart hurts for you and your family. Copeland has stirred deep emotions in my heart along with your family's faith that has pushed me to Jesus.May the God of peace give you great comfort at this time and the days ahead.
Copeland Fair Farley, thank you for being such a light in my life. Thank you for showing me how far I need to go in my own walk with the Lord. In your short time here on this Earth, you have touched so many, taught us so much. In our sadness, we rejoice. We know you are made whole and your pink cheeks are again aglow. You are such an amazing little girl, blessed with an amazing family, your Mommy, Daddy and sweet sister Sellers. They loved you endlessly as did the rest of us. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to know Copeland. I know we would all agree that we are all better for it... Thank you....
On my knees in prayer...
I love you
praying for you all. we hope that your time with Copeland will bring sweet memories for years to come, and that her life will give you a greater hope for heaven.
Praying for a peace that passes all understanding.
Praying for your family. Thank you for sharing your daughter with us for the past week.
My heart is breaking with you, as a mother, but also rejoicing with you, as a Christian, that she is with our Holy Father. Thank you, sweet Boothe, for sharing Copeland's precious life with us - you and your family have become real-life faith heroes for me.
love, Paige Smith
I feel truly honored that you shared your precious little "pirate" with us, that we could get a glimpse of God's beautiful handiwork before He called her back home. I am SO thankful you have that beautiful picture of the four of you at her one week birthday party. I wish you could know how powerfully Copeland touched my life in her 8 days on this earth -- and how her mom, dad and sister have in the months leading up to her visit from heaven. Praying God's richest blessings and peace on all of you.
I am so sad for your loss. You and Conor gave Copeland the best gift of all, even though it was and will be hard, you gave that little girl life. Blessings to you as you travel this new road of grief.
How wonderful it must be to be wrapped in the arms of Jesus, and to hear His sweet voice singing lullabies. . .
You all are in my prayers. What a beautiful testimony of Christ's love you all have been. May God bless you with His peace.
It is Well -- It is Well - with Copeland's soul and with yours Conor and Boothe. We pray for your comfort as you grieve on earth and for the celebration of your daughter's reuniting with the Father.
Your words have been a conduit for God to work in many people's lives -- let us all rejoice that It Is Well.
Dustin and Amy
Oh, sweet family...
Prayers and hugs for all of you. I will never forget little Copeland! She has touched so many hearts.
I do not know you all but became aware of your story a few days ago and have been praying for Copeland, our Lord's perfect timing and the preparation of your hearts to endure this season. Thank you for your honesty in this blog. Your anger, joy, weeping. Thank you. Your story is a megaphone of Glory to our Lord. -Allison Hodges, Atlanta
My heart goes out to you and your family. Praying for you all.
I'm so sorry. I am thankful that right now she is whole, perfect, and breathing healthily. She is with Him - amazing, God.
Trusting Him for you, now.

I know your pain. I lost a daughter when she was 13 days old. The road ahead is not easy. But rest assured that God is in control and that your sweet little girl suffers no more in the presence of our Lord. God bless. Lisa
I am sorry. Praying now and in the weeks and months to come.
God please protect this family from this trying time. Bring them closer than they could have ever imagined. Tonight my 5 year old prayed "God, give us enough strength". I pray that you will give this family enough strength for the days to come. Thank you for the blessing of their lives as a family and for the sweet little angel that sings joyful songs at this moment. Amen
In regards to you love of your children and Love and faith in the Lord during this season, I believe god would say "Well done, good and faithful servants".

Thank-you
My heart aches for your loss. May the peace of Christ fill every hole that Copeland left behind, and may Jesus sweet love sustain you.
I have thought of your family so very much throughout the day today...I am praying that God's hand of comfort is upon you.
I can't and won't begin to tell you that I have any idea of what you are going through. However, I do know that the Lord will comfort you and be your strenght as you get through this time. My prayers will continue. I pray that you have strenght, rest, peace,and comfort. Thank you so much for letting us all get know your precious Copeland. Your faith has been so inspiring and uplifting. Boothe, Conor , and Sellars I am truly sorry.
Safe in His Arms....
Praise the Lord that eternity is longer than time here on earth. I'm so sorry about your loss. Grieve and rejoice freely in the arms of Jesus!
~Rebecca in Spring, TX
Praying for your family in this time. I pray that Sellers will grow up to be an amazing woman who loves the Lord and lives a life of glory to Him who is our Father. Conor and Boothe, I pray that God will give you the strength to continue telling of His love so that so many more can be touched by your family and the life of your precious one Copeland.
Free. God has truly healed her broken body as she stands perfect in His presence, worshiping ever at His throne.
Conor, Boothe, & Sellers: We are truly sorry for your loss & grateful for the time you were given with your sweet Copeland. She was beautiful, perfect for the calling He had on her life. I pray you hear what God is certainly saying over you at this time, "Well done, my good & faithful servants. You loved this precious child of mine perfectly & trusted Me when it was most difficult. I am proud of you. I love you. I am with you. I will see you through."
We're here & we are praying. May our Lord bathe you in His love & comfort tonight.

-Philippians 3:20-21
Dear Boothe and Conor,
This message may get lost in the growing numbers but I wanted to share my heart with you for a moment.
This miracle began way back, months ago when Copeland was first diagnosed. You were given a choice (too easy for most I am sorry to say)
a choice to terminate and go no further. You chose life for Copeland, knowing the risk and heartache of seeing her and having to give her back to the Lord. This journey began with that decision to trust in the Lord and accept His gift to you as the parents He chose for her. My admiration of you two as parents crumbles my heart to pieces. You trusted Him with all you have and nurtured and loved this sweet angel with so much love that it sustained her for 8 precious days. Not long enough for your breaking hearts, but oh what a witness to thousands of people who watched you walk this road, sometimes on your knees, but faithful to the very moment she drew her last earthly breath, and her first heavenly breath. My heart aches for your letting go, your empty arms, your broken hearts. I am asking God to shelter your family under His Mighty Wings tonight and to let your hearts know beyond a shadow of a doubt that He is so pleased that you trusted to follow Him, knowing it would lead you to this day. Copeland would not have been a living witness to so many had you chosen not to follow God. Thank you so very much for giving her life. Her ministry began with two wonderful warriors named Conor and Boothe Farley. You bring Glory to the God we serve. May we all be as selfless in our walk with Him as the two of you have modeled this year of our Lord 2007. Grace and Peace and Love all over your family now and forever.
Laurie in Ca.
Thank you for sharing your life and your precious baby with all of us. God has used Copeland's short life in ways we may never see this side of heaven. Praise the Lord, she is whole now and we will spend eternity with her. Know that you are being constantly lifted up in prayer, that God's peace and comfort would cover you and your family in this time.
Love Angela Porada
Dearest Farley family,
Words cannot express the sadness I feel after I read of Copeland's homegoing. The sadness is of course for you and your dear family. There is only joy for precious Copeland. No more struggles for her. May you be blessed beyond measure for the trial you are going through. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I know you have been a real witness to many including myself. I pray you will
have peace in the days ahead. Please know that so many are praying for you.
Love and blessings to you.
I'm so grateful you had a week to make these special memories with Copeland.
Welcome HOME Copeland Farley!!!!!!!!!
Soon and very soon. In the blink of an eye Copeland will be reunited to all of those who love her deeply. What a party that will be.
With Love,

Dear Boothe and Conor,
I have been following your blog for a week, and been praying for God to give you courage and strength. How faithful and strong you have been, And how lucky you were to get to have your daughter for a time. I have always believed that our children are really on loan to us from God. I will continue to pray that God will give you and your family comfort and peace in the coming days.
Pat Brown
May God's love and peace comfort your whole family as you move into a new normal. Thank you for taking time to introduce Copeland to the world and letting so many be a part of her story this last week. We are praying for you.
I'm so sorry for your pain.
C.S. Lewis once said "There are better things ahead than any we leave behind."
I'm believing that more and more.
Blessings to you all.
D Bailey
We love you all and cannot wait to meet Copeland someday in heaven and let her know how much her seven days here on earth changed us all.
Praying, praying, praying as I cannot imagine losing my baby girl but God is bigger and she is waiting for you!!
We LOVE you all so much...
D'Arcy
Thank you so very much for sharing your journey with us. Your baby girl has changed our lives.
Sweet Angel here on earth. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. We have been keeping up with you and praying for little Copeland for weeks. You have touched our family so deeply. My 4 year old asks me every day about Copeland and how she's doing. She told me tonight she wanted to write Copeland a letter.
Copeland was a little angel sent by God to teach us all a little something about ourselves and our relationship with Him. Thank you so much for your bravery and willingness to go along with His plan. What an example your family is for the rest of us. You have reminded me how precious every second is.
I am unable to fully comprehend all you have known these last many months. You have shown your heart to so many. You have allowed my faith to grow because of yours. My life is different because of Copeland's. It is my prayer that our Great God will reach His mighty hand down to you. That He will surround you with his angels, and give you eyes to see your little beauty at peace with Him.
I don't know your family, but I have been praying for you since I came upon this blog. God Bless you and give you strength to get through this time. I will think of your daughter Copeland as an Angel in Heaven.
Take Care of yourselves and know that you are not alone!
safe in the arms of our Father...
May HE comfort you.
Praying for you!
I know Matt and Ginny Mooney, and I know Mary Faith Laughlin. It's a small world. I just wanted to say that my husband and I will be praying for you as your sweet baby is safe and perfect in Jesus' arms! -Kim Watkins
I have been following your blog for weeks. I heard about your family through a friend at church (Fellowship) who had a friend who was one of Sellers' Kingdom Kids teachers.
Thanks for being so transparent. You will never know the impact that your family has had on so many people. God has changed me. You have inspired me- talk about "beyond belief"- to see you living your life with open hands. To see your faith and JOY despite the circumstances. Your hope in Christ- the Hope of Glory.
THank you for allowing us to walk along side you in this journey. I have never met you, and may not ever (although we do attend the same church), but I want you to know you are so loved and cherished. I am praying for you and your precious family.
Love, Sarah
I cannot begin to tell you how much your words over the past few months have impacted me. Copeland's life has touched so many. Thank you for letting us into your heart to see your family's AWESOME faith - even through such trials. You are truly an inspiration.
We're praying for you and your family as you go through this time.

Hebrews 10:35-36
"So do not throw away your confidence, because it has great reward. For you need endurance in order to do God's will and so receive what is promised."
I hope this verse blesses you. I saw it on another blog just a few minutes ago, and for some reason I felt led to share it with you.
Conor, Boothe and Sellers
We weep with you and love you dearly. Thank you for your courage and your faith and your honesty. Thank you for allowing Copeland's life to touch us all. Her memory and legacy live on forever....you will never be the same. Holding you close in our hearts and prayers.
Love you,

Conor and Boothe,
I am so sorry for your pain but entrusting you into the arms of the Great Comforter. I imagine the angels in heaven are celebrating their little saint coming home. She is whole and free and waiting to see her family one day.
I love you,
Pat Ward
We had to check before we went to bed for the night. We share in your sorrow that Copeland is no longer with us here on earth, but we rejoice that she is resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus. We have three children in Heaven and losing them made it a bit sweeter. May God grant you incredible strength and grace and the peace that goes beyond understanding. May you feel His tangible presence carrying you through the next several days, weeks, months and years. We will continue to remember you in our prayers & thoughts for a long time to come. Your testimony through this has been outstanding! When you are joined with Copeland, Jesus will say "Well done, thy good and faithful servants!"
<>< Clint & Wendy, Brandon, Amanda, Joshua, Caleb, Bethany and Emily
I have never met y'all but I heard your story through a friend and it broke my heart. I cannot imagine the pain y'all must be going through right now. I am praying for y'all and that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you and give you the strength to get through this time. Know that your faith and your daughter have changed lives and have softened my heart.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray for you.
I am so sorry. Thank you for the allowing us to share in this journey with your family. Please know that we are covering each of you in prayer and mourning the loss of Copeland alongside you. May you feel comfort only Jesus can bring and rest in the fact that she is in His capable arms, fully restored.
I came across your blog and haven't been able to think about anything else but your precious family since I first read. You write so beautifully and honestly that it literally made me weep with each post. What a precious gift the Lord gave to you in little Copeland! I will continue to pray for strength in the upcoming days and months and for you always to feel the love of the Father for you and your family. I'm so sorry for your incredible loss, but rejoice with you in the time you had with her here on earth, and the eternal time you will have with her one day in heaven.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort." 2 Corinthians 1: 3-7
Prayinf for your comfort
Boothe and Conor, I can't imagine the feelings you have right now. My heart cries out for you but has such joy for your precious angel Copeland. She is perfect and pink, nothing holding her back, she is in the arms of Jesus! I pray for each of you that your hearts will feel understanding that you mind and body will feel rest. God had a plan for sweet Copeland, she has strengthened my faith and so many others. Now she gets to spend eternity with Him. She was able to do this through each of you. Thank you for sharing your great faith, I pray mine will one day be as strong!
We continue to pray for you,
love The McMasters
Though we may never meet each other this side of Heaven, I want you to know how deeply your family's story has touched my life. I am so sorry that you all had to endure this struggle. I know the days and weeks and months and years ahead will not be easy, but I pray that you find acceptance and peace as time goes by. I want you to know that I am praying specifically for Sellers tonight, as I have a daughter her age and can't imagine the heartbreak of trying to explain something of this magnitude. I pray that you will find the strength and wisdom to answer her questions when you can, and the courage and honesty to tell her that you don't have the answers. I am deeply saddened that she has to lose some of the innocence of childhood through this situation, but I also pray that she learns to trust and have faith deeper than she would have known otherwise. She will learn untold lessons by seeing her mommy and daddy grieve openly and honestly. Blessings and peace unto you all.
THE PRETTIEST ANGEL
The prettiest angel arrived in heaven
Just a few hours ago;
With beautiful big eyes and an angelic smile
And a little pink bow.
Her days spent on this earth
Were in a body so frail,
But never once did her spirit wane
We hoped she would prevail.
Now in heaven she can do all the things
That she would have done on earth,
Now is the time to realize
That crying has no worth.
Because Copeland is singing in the heavenly choir
And has a beautiful voice,
Her body is strong and perfect now
In this we do rejoice.
She’s running and jumping and skipping about
On beautiful streets of gold,
She’s riding a bike with a tiara on
And is truly a sight to behold.
The prettiest angel arrived in heaven
Just a few hours ago…
May God Bless you, Boothe, Conor, and Sellers. I am praying for God to continue to give you the strength to continue to be a witness for Him. Although I do not personally know you, I feel a strong bond to you as a Christian.
It's With Hope by Steven Curtis Chapman.
This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...
We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...
We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope
Thank you for sharing your precious baby with the world!
My life will forever be changed for the better because of
Copeland Fair...
You all are in my thoughts and prayers...
Farley Family,
You don't know me. I have been linked to your site via Poppy Joy's site. I was reading your entries last night and was deeply moved by the strength of your faith during this journey. I was quickly copying down your powerful scriptures to go and look up for myself and apply to my life. This is how Copeland has touched me without having met her. Please know that you are in my prayers tonight. Copeland has had a powerful impact on so many in her short life. As you said, it is amazing what God can do with the tiniest and frailest things. My faith has been touched by yours. May the Lord continue to bless you all.
Thomasville, GA
I can confidently say, and I'm sure others would agree that God is incredibly proud of you and your husband for the parents you have been to sweet Copeland while she was here! My breath is taken away by the support you have through this blog. We will be praying continually for healing. We love you all.

My prayers are with you . . .
Remember that His ways are higher than our ways and may God be glorified through your family and precious little Copeland.
My prayers are steady for you during this time of grief. Cling to the hope that God has so graciously given us. I know she is fully healed, fully whole and perfect as she is now with her maker. I am so sorry for your loss. What a precious little girl. I can't wait to meet her one day and tell her how much her little life affected us all.
Continuing to pray for you all.
I've been praying all day for you guys. One of my best friend's just lost her little boy to the same thing last year. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Feeling such sadness,
The Hollis Family
There's nothing I can say that hasn't been said, just know that you are in the prayers and hearts of many.
I know we may not understand the plans or paths our lives follow but I pray you will continue to lean and trust in God during this time.
We are so sorry to hear about Copeland but rejoice that she is with Jesus. Her life has truly touched so many people for Him and our lives are forever changed because of hers. Your words and faith in the Lord has made me want to know Him better--what a blessing you have been to so many...Continuing to pray fervently for you all in the days and weeks ahead.
Farley family-
You have touched my heart forever.
Praying.
Please know that I am praying for you and your family. You're continued faith and trust in God, has truly shown me how to let God be in control and not me. May God continue to pour his richest blessings on you. May God comfort you and give you strength and peace during this time.
So sorry for your loss. I'll be praying for you.
I can't thank you enough for your willingness to share the story of your little angel. I will never forget her.
I am continuing to pray for your family.
Much love,

Conor, Boothe, Sellers and all your extended family ~~ thank you for sharing your sweet girl, your hearts, and your honesty with all of us.
May God wrap you close in His arms and hold you tight.
Boothe, I am continuing to pray for all of you, but especially for you as you come to terms with all that has happened as well as trying to heal from the simple fact that you've given birth.
My heart is tender toward all of you at this time. Praying for comfort and peace.
You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers
TO ALL PARENTS
“I’ll lend you for a little time, a child of mine,” He said,
“For you to love the while she lives and mourn for when she’s dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for Me?”
“She will bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief,
You’ll have her lovely memories as solace for you grief.
I cannot promise she will stay since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love, nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call and take her back again?”
I fancied that I heard them say: “Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter her with tenderness, and love her while we may,
And for the happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay;
But shall the angels call for her much sooner than we’ve planned,
We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.”
--Edgar A. Guest
These posts have truly touched my heart. I pray that you are consumed with God's peace and tender love. May God show Himself to you in magnificent ways.
I am so sorry for your loss and my heart aches for you. Copeland's life touched mine and I will never forget her or your precious family. I pray you feel the Lord's arms wrapped around you. I will be praying for your family as you now mourn the loss of this precious life. I am amazed at all the people whose lives will be for ever changed because of Copeland. You are loved by so many. Thank you for sharing her life with all of us.

I am so sorry for your loss and can only imagine what you must be feeling. I have been praying for you and Conor, your precious Copeland, and big sister Sellers...and will continue to do so for the weeks and months ahead. May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
I can't imagine the grief you feel. May you feel the love and peace of the Lord around you. And know that many are praying now for you and your husband.
You have been such a witness of faith to me. What an awesome testimony for the Lord!! You and your precious little girl have changed more lives than you know.
I've only been reading this blog for two days but I know the Lord had me read at the perfect time. I feel like I know you and wish I could have been there to hug you all during this time.
Continuing to pray.....

For months, I have read your story, prayed on your behalf, and clung to your words but, right now words just seem so trite. Simply put, I am so sorry for your loss. Copeland's short life has touched so many. Her life has influenced me and your journey of faith and strength has called me to a deeper intimacy with our Father. Thank you for sharing this story. It's not over yet...this is not the end.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
May he heal your broken heart and may He give you rest for your soul.
May the Lord come quickly and reunite you with your beautiful and perfect Copeland. You are being loved and lifted up.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I first began keeping up with your blog last Saturday and I must say that God put a stir in my heart and I prayed almost continuously for you, Copeland, and your family. My life has been forever changed by Copeland's story. I will continue to lift you and your family up in my prayers. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing Copeland's life with us. She touched so many and her testimony will live on. we will continue to pray for your family, for comfort, but also for joy that she is with our Heavenly Father and fully well!
Dear Farley Family,
You don't know me but I have just recently found your story and the Lord has pressed it on my heart so deep to pray for you constantly. I have been going about my daily routine and raising my family praying for your family all through the day and when I would wake up with my little girl at night, that is when I would pray for you the hardest with tears streaming down my face. Thank you for sharing Copeland with all of us, you will never know how precious baby Copeland has changed my life. I hold my children closer now and find myself a lot less irritated and stressed about the little things that I know you would have loved to have been able to go through with Copeland. My Mom & Dad lost my sister when she was 4 yrs. old. No one can say anything that will take away the pain and the agony of your loss but just know that your beautiful little girl is whole and perfect in the most beautiful and pain free place. We are praying for you. Thank you baby Copeland.
Love and Prayers,
Charlie, Julie, Claire & Lily Fogg
I am so sorry, but now you know that she is safe and not hurting.
Your family has really affected me and I will not forget about you or sweet Copeland. I don't even know you but you have touched me. I will continue to pray for your comfort and strength as you heal.
God Bless you all.
Thanking God for the precious days you had with Copeland.
Praising God for the eternity you will all share together.
Until then may His love encompass you.
So sorry to hear of your loss! As a fellow parent, my tears flow along with yours!
Our family will still be praying for yours. She's safe in the arms of the Father!
God blessed you with these days on earth. May He carry you through the following days. Thank you for sharing your story.
There are no words to express our deep sympathy for the loss of your precious daughter. Please accept our deepest condolences. We've never met but you've been in our prayers for the last couple weeks and now you will continue to be remembered in prayer.
Love to you and your family as you go through this time of loss. From personal experience we can say that time doesn't heal but it eases the sharpness of the pain. Thank God for the wonderful hope of Heaven and the reuniting with our loved ones.
May God's peace rest upon you and His comforting arms sustain you.
Penny & Family Sebring, Florida

We've been following your journey for the last nine days. We are so very sorry for your loss, yet we smile as we think of your sweet Copeland cradled in Jesus' arms. You are all in our prayers. Thank you for sharing your faith. We learned from you. We won't stop praying.
