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...

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 655 of 655I have a 5 month old who sat with me as I read your post last night. I cried for your family and said a prayer and she didn't make one sound until we turned the computer off. I've been thinking of you since last night, and will continue to pray that you are comforted. Thanks for sharing this with everyone-I can't imagine how difficult that must have been, but I frantically checked your blog almost hourly. I will never forget Copeland and how she has changed our hearts.
Praying in Minnesota...
May God's peace be with you at this difficult time. Gods will has been done and your precious little angel is in heaven with the father now. No more pain. I too thank God the father for the time he gave all of you. What special memories you will have to hold dear to your heart. God Bless each and everyone of you. I am praying for all of you.
I am amazed at your strength. My heart sank when I checked in this morning.
I will continue praying that your family will be comforted.

I'm so sorry. We're praying for you. Reading Copeland's journey has been inspirational- she has been such a blessing to your family even in the midst of all the hard things.
I don't even know you, a friend asked me to pray for you today. As I read your story I am crying. Crying because of your loss in death and crying because of your gain through life in Christ! You were chosen for a great task and were faithful! Praise God! Praise Him though we don't understand his ways. Praise Him for His love that helps us endure. Praise Him for giving and taking away.
So sorry for your loss...praying for your family during this time.
Thank you for sharing your story and incredible faith with all of us. I have been so touched by your walk and simply amazed how God has used precious little Copeland over the past few weeks.
Praying for your family. May God be with you all.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have been praying for her since I read on a chat board. I have a child with heart problems (4 heart surgeries and one that is goign to happen soon) and have almost lost him several times.
All you can say she has changed your life and gave love for the short time she has been here
I woke up this morning compelled to pray for God's peace to overwhelm your hearts today. Now I know why.
You will be in my prayers.
I am so very sorry you are having to suffer in this way.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Reading your words takes me back 6 years ago when we also had a baby girl diagnosed prenatally with trisomy 18. She died during labor. Thank you for sharing your heart. Copeland's life has touched so many and brought glory to the kingdom. I know your lives will be blessed through this. Praying for your family in Memphis
I don't know you; a friend asked me to pray for you today. As I read your story I am crying. I cry because of your loss to death and your gain through Christ. Your faithfulness is a testament. Praise God though we don't understand His ways. Praise God who's love helps us endure. Praise God who gives and takes away.
I can just hear...Well Done Good and Faithful Servant....
Thank you for sharing your story so transparently, honestly and eloquently.
God Bless you all with added peace and strength in the days to come.
You are so amazing!
With Love From Colorado
We are praying for you. I truly feel like I knew Copeland and have been blessed by her life.
Can you just imagine her in the arms of Jesus!! It's an amazing thought, but I'm sure it's someting so terribly hard to go through.
I'll be praying for you during this time.
My family is praying for you during this difficult time. When my brother died 2 years ago a song by Chris Rice called Untitled Hymn (Come To Jesus) gave me a lot of strength. Here are the lyrics:
Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!
Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
God bless you and your family.
I am so sorry for your hurt. I'm praying for you.
We pray for God's healing in your heart as you deal with such loss. Sellers will continue to be your angel and will comfort you beyond measure.
Farley Family,
We will never meet this side of heaven but I have been following Copeland's story for several days now and I'm just overwhelmed with the magnitude of your loss. However, I also know the power of our Creator and Savior; He is in control and He is also in possession of sweet little Copeland. My prayers are with you all at this time. May you be comforted in every possible way.
In the love of our Redeemer,
Becky
praying....
I'm so, so sorry.
Sending up hugs and prayers for your family.
Lifting you up in prayers.

I have been praying for you and Conor for months now through all of this once, Lesley Ann told me about it all. What a miracle it has been to watch you truly love this precious blessing you had in Copeland. Fight through this with the knowledge that God has her healed and sanctified in his arms right now. The greatest Father of all is watching over her and rocking her right now, and singing over her.
I cannot even begin to imagine how you have made it through these last few years of trials, and especially now, in this time of such grief. He will restore your hearts and has already shown how He used Copeland for great things in such a short amount of time. She was his good and faithful servant.
Thank you for allowing God to use you to bring him the glory and honor, and to speak into so many people's lives.
Boothe and Conor, my prayers are with you and your family, and know that I am here for you if you need anything!
I grieve with you now over the loss of your precious daughter- she has touched so many hearts, as have you.
Calgary,Canada
The power and comfort of prayer is surrounding you and your family. You and your family are blessed by having had such a precious one in your lives and your little is blessed in the arms of Jesus right now. We have all been truly blessed by the strenght and love that pours from your family
Conor,Boothe & Sellers,I have been praying for you since I was asked by a friend.I do know who you are but we have only met briefly while you were at CCC.I pray for Jesus to hold you up during this time of loss.There are no words just lean on him!!!!Thank you for your love of Jesus and your willingness to share this journey.Sweet Copeland can rest now.Love to you and your family.
Dear Sweet Farley Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of sweet Copeland but know that she is resting whole and fully formed in her Heavenly Father's arms. I will continue to pray for you and your sweet family as you go through these most difficult times. You have been such an inspiration to me through your blog and the difficulties that you have faced and your love for one another and our Lord above is one that I can only pray that I could get to at one point. You have been such a minister to me and I thank you for that.
God Bless,
Melody
Thank you for sharing your story. My heart hurts so for you. I truly admire your courage and your sweet testimony.
We've been praying for your family. I'm so sorry for your sadness.
As I read this around 6 oclock yesterday, my heart sank and went out to you all. I wanted to wait to find the perfect words to make you feel at peace. But all I can say is I am sorry for your loss, but in God's time we will see his plan, and know now that she is with her heavenly father, healed, and waiting to see you all again. You are loved, you are lifted up, and will continue to be in my prayers daily.... Your faith is encouraging!!.......KM
I tried to write last night but couldn't find the words... I think I would just like to say THANK YOU for letting me love your precious daughter. I am so happy for you having eight days with her, I am so sad that it was only eight days. May you feel the love and support being poured out to your family in the days to come. I will always remember Copeland. Love to you...
I just don't know what to say. My heart aches for you so. I will pray pray pray for you all. I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby girl.
I am sorry for your loss. I will continue to pray...
Sharing with you in your grief and sorrow. Thank you for sharing your heart and lives with us...it has meant so much. Can't wait to get to know you (and Copeland) in heaven someday.
Your faith and strength, the manor with which you have handled Copelands journey in this world and to our Heavenly Father is such a testimony. You are simply amazing.
You will be kept in our prayers.
May God bless and comfort you and bring you peace.
I am sorry for your loss. I am praying for you and your family.
Dear Farley Family,
My heart goes out to you. 3 years ago we lost my sister (16) battling cancer. The best thing we could have done was bring her home so that we could be with her when she passed. The Lord is so gracious to have given you the opportunity to hold her and say good bye as she reached the arms of Jesus. I'm praying for comfort and specially praying for Sellers. It's hard to see your little sister go. Love you guys.

While I know that it must not be much of a comfort now, please know that your faith and your generosity in sharing your life with us has brought many of us closer to the Lord. Thank you.
I received your website from a friend of yours and I thank you for sharing your story. I'm praying & crying with you. Your faith is such an inspiration. May God bless you and your family. Blair Moss
You have touched my heart and I am so, so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers and believe that God is holding you in His arms right now too.
Dear Farley Family - I have you lifted up in prayer. Not long after my Mother had passed away I had an aunt to leave us as well. Her son preached one of the best sermons I have ever heard about God's timing. It is perfect. Copeland has touched so many and will continue to do so. Maybe a second sooner or later would not have worked in God's plan. He will comfort you with the love of a parent and a Saviour.
Dawn - Troy, AL
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the great example you have set for those who might otherwise consider "terminating" a pecious life. Even though you knew she would pass, you chose to have for the time you did. Awesome!!! I hope the world is listening. Your family is in our prayers. It is never easy to lose a child, no matter how long you have known them. Jesus is with you.
Love in Christ,
Heather
Praise God for making her perfectly. She is rejoycing in heaven, may you be at peace. You are still being preayed for!!!
The Lord has given, the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Your beautiful daughter's life and your family's faith during this time have been a beautiful blessing to so many people. I pray that you can feel the powerful prayers of all these believers that are lifting you up right now.
Abby Caputo, FL
Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter's story with us. You have touched so many lives. Know that you are in our prayers. May God Bless you and cradle you in his hands during this difficult time.
I don't know you, I found your blog through another blog. Your story touched my heart and has changed my outlook on life. God bless you and your family as you journey through this difficult time.
Murfreesboro, TN
Wow! I am back from vacation and I couldn't keep mymind off of y'all the whole time. Y'all have been in my prayers and will continue to be! Isn't a blessing to know where she is though!
Booth,
Your words are amazing... I have never met you but feel as if I know your soul. As I've read your story I have wept.. and as I brought my husband in to read your story he has also. It is so incredible to hear how you and your husband have handled your family throughout this. I am so encouraged and reminded of how big God is as I think of your precious baby Copeland. She was and is beautiful. As I look at my children tonight sleeping I think of her and I think of you and Conor and Sellers. We so often take our children for granted. I will forever remember your strong words and how much I need to cherish just the "little moments"... I will pray for your family without fail.
I have never met your family, but through a series of connections have stumbled across your blog. I am completely humbled by your strength and courage and truth in the Lord as you have seen your beautiful little girl suffer and then go home to heaven. May the Lord bless you and keep your family firmly in his loving arms. May He bring you peace and comfort.
I am very sorry for you loss. I lost my son 15 years ago. I understand the sorrow. I pray God grants you peace and comfort during this time.
Words are not adequate to touch the heart of sorrow. Just know that you are thought of and prayers are being said for you.
Take time to grieve as you need. Let no one set limits on this journey through grief. Thanks for sharing your sweet babe with us.
My daughter went through a similiar nightmare with the loss of identical twin boys. Our lives will never be the same but we don't want them too. We want to always remember that they were part of our lives even if only briefly. God will walk with you through this. Hold tight to HIS hand. Many love you.
