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...

Safe in the arms of Jesus.....
May you all feel God's comfort and love during this time.
I am sorry for your loss, but rejoice in her heavenly gain. Praying for you in these days ahead.
Thank you for sharing your sweet blessing with us here in blog land. She has blessed many of us more than you can imagine.
Hugs.
Oh, God bless you all for your courage. What a joy to have watched your love for your little girl blossom.
We'll all be looking for her when we get to heaven. To thank her for what she has taught us.
Rest well my friend.
Boothe,
I have no words. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. Praise God that Copeland is happy and whole! Much love~Amy
There are no words. . . . . I pray that your hearts will be at peace knowing that Copeland is now whole and without pain. I pray also for your pain. . . . We all have been lifting you all up in prayer. . . and will continue to do so.
I can't imagine the emotions you must be going through right now. I pray that God floods your entire family with peace knowing that you had precious time with Copeland, she had a chance to feel your love, and now she is resting in the arms of Jesus. Many tears will be shed by those who knew and loved her and by those who felt that they knew her even though they never had a chance to see her sweet face in person. Your family is loved.
In the morning when I rise...Give me Jesus...
And when I am alone...Give me Jesus...
And when I come to die...Give me Jesus...
You can have all of this world...Give me Jesus...
Boothe, I think you know how much I love this simple song. I am convinced Jesus has been with little Copeland since the moment she was conceived. And I know He will continue to be with you and Conor in the days to come.
It's amazing how such a short life has had such a huge impact on so many people...God has used your precious little girls life to help and strengthen many of us in our own spiritual lives.
Aunt Pam said she was the closest thing to Jesus she had ever seen. Your baby is resting now in the arms of Jesus...what a wonderful place to be. You can rest knowing that you will someday see your little Copeland again...May God bless and comfort you all...
Uncle David
I have no words to express how sad I am for you and your family. I hope your hearts heal soon knowing that she is up above looking down upon you with love in her heart and thankfulness for the time that she had with you.
Praying for you and your precious family.
Love you,
Christina Adams
...my heart is heavy. we are praying...and also rejoicing that she is whole again! we love you guys...N.T. and D
We are continuing to pray for you--for the grief that is so heavy on your hearts. We are grateful that Copeland is at peace but continue to be so sad that her life was so short.
I am so sorry for your loss. She is now in the arms of our lord playing with all of God's children.
Thiking and praying for your family.
Take care
Thank you for sharing your angel with us. You have enriched my life and given me faith. She is resting in the arms of Jesus. Your vision came true Boothe- the angels literally carried her up to her Father where she can be whole. Thank you so much for sharing her with us. I am praying for you and crying with you as I know we all are. Thank you again.
Well, bless your heart. I am so sorry for all of you. I'm glad that you had the time with her that you did...what a blessing. I will pray that you and your family find peace.
I know God's grace is sufficient and I pray His peace will fill you to overflowing. Y'all have been a tremendous blessing and testimony of faith to me over the last few days. Thank-you for showing me what real faith looks like. I'll be praying for you and your precious family.
Praying for you and your family that you will find peace and rest in Him in the days ahead...
Many people live their whole lives and never have an impact on others the way that Copeland did in 8 short days. Her time on Earth has been an absolute treasure. I look forward to meeting her in heaven and telling her what an encouragement and blessing she has been to so many of us. Our prayers continue to be with your family.
I am so sorry. Thank you for sharing your heart throughout this time. You have blessed so many. May all of our prayers bless you and your family during this time of grief.
I have been following your blog for the last week since a friend asked me to pray for you and have been so encouraged in my walk with Christ through your experience. I hope to have your faith one day. Praying and weeping with you through these hard days, but rejoicing, too, that Copeland's hard days are over. Thank you for all that you have shared with us.
I will continue to pray for all of you. You have touched my heart.
Tampa, FL
I pray that peace covers your family at this time. May God make his presence known. Ya'll are such a sweet family. Thank you for allowing us to experience this road with you as it has taught me so many lessons. I pray for each of your hearts today.
There's nothing anyone can say.. Your family is being prayed for by so many people. You are going through the hardest thing I think a parent can do, but you've done it so well. Thank you for allowing us all to be a part of something so special. We will ALL remember Copeland.. she's changed so many lives!
Praying in NC
Words cannot express what I feel for your family. How amazing to be feel so for someone whom I've never met. Thank you for sharing your sweet, tender heart and your precious baby. Know that you are continually prayed for and loved. Sweet Copeland is free. Rest in Jesus
Your sweet little girl has made an impression on me that I will carry in my heart forever.
I pray that your wonderful family will take comfort in the fact that you now have this beautiful angel watching over you with such love every moment.
May God Bless You
My thoughts and prayers are with you all...
best
Jimmy
sweet little Copeland was made for heaven. her stay was not near as long as we wanted, but her impact will be forever. i am praying for yall in the days ahead...that the Lord would walk you through each minute of the day.
collapse in the hands of the Lord...
much love,linds
Praying for you. May God bless all of you.
Amanda M. in WI
My heart aches for you. Your courage and strength through all of this has been amazing.
On my way out the door to prayer meeting at church...We'll be praying for you.
Whole in the arms of her Savior.
As I read this through tear filled eyes, I cannot begin to imagine the emotions you all must be feeling. As a Mom my heart truly reaches to all of you. First I want to thank you for being such a witness of faith for us and allowing God to use all of you, especially Copeland to teach us or bring us closer to our belief. Please know that you will continue to be in my prayers over the coming days weeks. I pray that you will feel the arms of our heavenly father wrapped around you and comforting you. I would like to share that I have asked Jesus to allow a special angel to be with Copeland on her heavenly journey. My Mom's time was cut way to short of being a Nana for my daughter when she was just 3 (now she is 12) and my son whom she didn't get to know on earth (he is 6). I really hope you don't mind that special request.
With Much Love and Many more prayers in KY
I am praying for your precious family. You have been such an inspiration to me the last week and I appreciate your blog so much!!! Just know your precious one is home now and free from any pain and suffering!!!
Hugs from Phyllis in Texas
I mourn your loss. But I PRAISE GOD that Copeland is safe in His arms.
Thank you so much for sharing precious Copeland with all of us - most of us never having met her but loving her all the same.
I am forever changed because of all of you.
I love you all,
Mary Alice
You will never know, this side of heaven, how many people have been changed, faith strengthened by your selflessness at this time. May God hold you in his arms in the days ahead. Prayers without end. Susan in Ama. TX
Today I read your story for the first time...you have encouraged my faith and your sweet blessing has been a blessing to me more than words can say.
Rest in the fact that the Lord is soveriegn and he is now getting to welcome her home.
My prayers and tears are with you all.
Your longing for heaven will be even greater and your thankfulness for Jesus' gift now takes on a new meaning. With his death, he gave us the gift of hope for our little girls. We have been and will keep praying for your family. We are so so sorry.
Kory and Jaymie Phillips (Chelsea's friend and Jay and Theresa's too)
Sorry for your loss. May the Lord comfort you and encourage you with His strength and joy. Your family is in my prayers always...the Lord has used Copeland in my life and in my prayer life. She has made a difference here.
I am so sorry that this time has come to have to let her go. I am praying that the Lord guards your hearts and spirits as you say "See you soon" to her. You and your family have my heart at this time and continued prayers. I will pray Sellers will understand in her little heart. Rest assured that Copelands ministry here this past week has touched thousands of hearts in a very tender way. We will not forget what she has taught us. Rest in the peace of the Lord who holds you next to His broken heart for you. Copeland is healed in the arms of the Lord, Pink and completely Whole. She gave more than anyone ever imagined, a true warrior princess of Jesus.
Sweet rest to all of you tonight. My heart is so heavy for the new normal you face. Jesus will comfort you as He holds your precious gift in His arms.
I love you guys and continue praying for all that is ahead be gentle for you.
Love, Laurie in Ca.
she is now resting in her savior's arms. amazing grace. . .how sweet the sound.
Dear Farley family,
I am praying even as I type these words for your precious family. I rejoice with you that Copeland is whole and in the arms of our Lord and Savior. May the Lord wrap his arms around you and carry you through the coming days. Precious Copeland has pointed so MANY to Jesus and for that we can rejoice. What a day of celebration it will be when we ALL meet our Savior and Copeland face to face. God Bless you all. Thank you for sharing your heart with perfect strangers. We are all better b/c of it.
Our prayers are with your family! God Blesses that precious Angel!
Cathy
I'm so sorry to hear this, but I know you find comfort in the fact that she is with her creator. my prayers are with your family.
I am so very sorry. Please know I will praying for all of you!
I will continue to lift your family up in prayer. I don't know you or your little girl, but I feel so blessed to have shared in your journey. Her life was a beautiful gift from God and touched so many strangers. I will be forever grateful for her touching my heart. Thanks for sharing this difficult time with complete strangers. Boothe, I am in awe of your strength and ability to verbalize your innermost feelings. Your words have touched my heart and brought me to my knees worshiping our almighty, gracious and loving God. May He bless you and keep you, may He make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you, may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you PEACE.
We are praying
May God keep his loving arms around you. Will continue to pray daily. Thank you for opening your lives to us. You can see God's love and mercy through you and your family.
Blessings and Prayers
Michelle in Arkansas
There are no words to express what I am feeling. Copeland was here such a very short time to have made such an impression. It is unbelievable what she meant to so many of us who didn't even get the pleasure and priviledge to meet her in person. Your blog "family" is here for your family. We love and pray for you!
Kimberly
Texas
I am picturing your sweet little angel nestled in the arms of Jesus with pink cheeks and lungs full of fresh air! She is healed and has been made whole! Praise be to God!
Thank you for daring to share your vulnerable heart-wrenching journey with all of us. Your faith, your courage, your intimacy with the Father has reached so many in ways you will never know. Little Copeland's life was short in our minds, but her impact was far greater than most of us will ever make in the time we spend on this earth.
Now may the God of all comfort wrap his arms around you and give you peace as you grieve the loss of your baby.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Praying faithfully for your family...
Jimmy and Courtney Armistead
copeland is glorious and radiant in the arms of her savior - what an incredible thought!
i will be praying for the three of you as you continue on with the memory of your sweet baby. know that the unshakeable faith of your family has made a huge impact in my life. praying his utmost blessings for you...
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you, both now and forevermore.
Much love from the Wingfields
My heart is broken but rejoicing all at the same time....the prayers will continue as you heal together.
Boothe,
I am here at the condo in Destin right now in tears. It has been a long journey for such a short time...I praise God for His Mercy and His timing. He gave everyone a chance to see her sweet precious face, and to say goodbye...
Your daughter is an angel, and I just pray that the Lord will comfort you and your family during this experience.......
Natalie
words fail...we are praying...
Praying for you....sending love!
I have no words, but my heart aches for you. I will continue to pray for you.

I will continue to pray. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.
Rebecca
Sweet girl...right where she belongs...dancing on streets of gold...
I've been reading and praying since the night before she was born. I'll be praying fervently for you all to feel God's arms wrapped tightly around you in the time to come.
We're praying for all of you.
Much love,
The Nowotny Family
Prayers, love, and a few tears sent your way......
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray you will find peace and comfort in the Lord's loving arms during this extremely difficult time. My heart just aches for you right now.
Thank you for sharing Copeland's life with us. She has changed me. We are praying for peace & joy for your sweet family.
Melissa Hall
She was so tiny, but her impact was mighty. Know that we are praying for your family. Copeland's legacy and the lessons we, as readers, have been taught over the past few months will never fade. Thank you for being so real. May we all strive to relay our faith in such an honest way. We are praying...
God has used your family in such a mighty way with your precious daughter's short life here on earth. Praise and glory to Him that we will see Him face to face and celebrate one day with Copeland!
Many prayers from south Alabama!
You are prayed for . . . by many. Rest in Him.
My heart is aching for you right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers-I pray you will find peace and comfort in the Lord's loving arms during this extremely difficult time.
Dear ones,
My heart aches with you and for you. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of such a precious life and time. I feel we have truly entertained an "angel" unaware. I thank God for her sweet life and the incredible way all of you as His children brought honor and glory to His name. Praise God for the promise of a reunion in Heaven, where all our tears will be wiped away.
All of my love and continued prayers, Aunt Cindy
Copeland will never be forgotten. God had a purpose for her in the short time she was with you all. Your journey with her was such a witness. May you continue to see the ripples coming from that sweet life for a long time.
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. His arms are opened wide for all of you. Be comforted.
God will take great care of your little Copeland! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family-
Traci in MN
Words escape me, rejoice knowing she is with her heavenly father. May you be blanketed in the warmth of your family at this time and rest well knowing that Copeland is now whole and healed. I will continue to pray for you and your family while you grieve. Please continue to keep us updated on your family.
I'm so very sorry that you've lost your beautiful little daughter ... my thoughts are with you. I am totally not a religious person, but I am so glad that you can find comfort in your faith. You are both so courageous, and I'm so glad that you got to spend those precious few days with her.
Holding you close in my prayers. My Jonathan will keep your sweet Copeland company until you get there.
Little Copeland is so blessed tonight to be with her heavenly father.....
I want to thank you and your family for sharing your love and story with us.Sleep in peace tonight knowing that you provided Copeland with a mother's great love and compassion..
Sending my love, Baba
Her sweet eys has closed, her ENTIRE face is covered in a smile (not just the left side), she is breathing deep and filling her lungs with air while being held in the arms of our Father. There weren't too many moments on earth that she wasn't held by someone who loved her, but there is no comparisson to what she feels right now. I ache to be there with you. Heath and I would sell anything just to afford a ticket back home. You're not doing this alone and we will continue to carry this with you. I love you with all of my heart. Kiss Selly for me, kiss conor for me and know that I am smiling knowing our little Copeland is smiling, giggling, breathing, eating, relaxing better than she ever has! I love you guys so much.
We will never, ever be the same because of Copeland Fair Farley and the love & courage of her entire family. Thank you for having the strength to include all of us on this journey... Copeland is in glory...your "glory baby" - she'll never have to know this old, broken world. We're so sorry for your great loss and the immense pain you must have in your hearts. When I lost my aunt to cancer my dad was at her side and literally watched her go back and forth between this earth and heaven for several minutes...she sang in a voice, he said, like an angel and she recited her wedding vows.. which was a miracle because her voice had been destroyed by the cancer - it was as if they were witnessing her "becoming whole" as she took her last breaths. One thing he remembers her blurting out was "look at all the children, they are coloring around the tables"... Strange as it sounds, her death has always been a source of comfort for our family...the reassurance that our spirit goes directly to our Maker, our body will be made whole again and children are going to have it really good there! : )
Our prayers will continue as you face the days ahead...

" Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Psalm 116:15
"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. He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making all things new!'"
--Revelation 21: 4-5
Sweet Copeland - you have made an immeasurable impact on our hearts in this past week. I'm praying for God's peace to cover your family like a blanket and that they will feel His presence in a very special way. They sure deserve it! Thank you for allowing all of us to walk alongside you on this journey.
Michelle
Loving you all and continuing to pray for the Lord's comfort for all of you now and in the coming days.
We are crying and aching with you and for you tonight....grace and peace to each of you.
Praise the Lord that Copeland had you and Conor as parents during her short precious life. Jesus please keep the Farley Family tight under your wings.
Praying for comfort for your family during this very difficult time. What a wonderful testimony your family had had when faced with the most difficult of situations.
oh Boothe, Conor and Sellers,
I am so so sorry that your little girl has left you tonight. I know you know where she is, truly dancing in heaven; but that doesn't mean that your pain doesn't run so deeply. I can't imagine your pain, but I do want you to know that we're all here for you. We want to walk with you today, tomorrow, next week, a year from now, ten years from now. Copeland Fair helped to show us a side of God that we didn't know that well, and I'm thankful for that. I'm so sorry. I'm weeping..
I'm sending you my love and prayers, prayers for peace in your soul, healing and love.

God's Loan
"I'll lend to 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'll bring her charms to gladden you
And should her stay be brief,
You'll have these precious memories
As solace for your 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 this world over,
In my search for teachers true.
In the crowds that throng life's land,
I have selected you."
"Now will you give her all your love
Not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take her back again?"
It seems to me I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joys a child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run."
"We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay."
"And should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."
"Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them;
for such is the Kingdom of God." Mark 10:14

Praise God for your faith and His faithfulness even in this darkness hour -- you still have hope in the middle of incomprehensible loss. Now I pray peace and rest for you and Conor and Sellers -- we know that Copeland is whole and resting with her Heavenly Father.
Thank you again for opening your hearts and your family and sharing your precious girl and your incredible journey with all of us. It has been an honor to witness your faith and love and God's work in your lives, as well as all of ours.
Only the Lord could use one sweet little Angel to impact so many. Praise the Lord for this little life that is now so perfect and beautiful in Heaven.
Your family is an incredible testimony to the sanctity of human life. The Lord has used you mightily Farley Family.
You will be in our prayers.
Sharing in your sorrow and praising the Lord for the hope of Heaven.
Love to you all.
Conor and Boothe,
Our hearts are so heavy for you both. We pray that the very God that has given you grace and strength this past week will come beside you and beneath your weary souls tonight and in the days to come. Thank you again for letting us rejoice with you in your blessings and to share in your immense suffering as well. We will continue to pray for your family.
With love, Brian and Sara
Booth and Conor,
I realize that no words can help ease the pain of losing your little angel, but I would like to say I'm sorry.
Copeland is in heaven right now watching over you and your family and will be a guardian angel for you until you get to see her again in Heaven.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry. Still praying...

Loving you all in Tulsa, OK
crying with you now, in joy and in sorrow. we will continue to pray that jesus would comfort and wrap his arms around you.
love, the stanfields
So sorry for your loss, but praying that you feel the arms of Jesus around you all!
Our prayers have been with your family on Copeland's journey. Remember as a wise pastor once told me, you can lose nothing that you know where it is. We know where Copeland is and that she is safe and content. Someday soon I will get my daughter to tell you of "Lexie's" journey over 9 years ago. Give the grandmothers my love as I know how they are feeling. At a loss on how to comfort their adult children. May The Lord continue to use and bless you all.
Judy Masters
Now whole in His everlasting arms, the hole in your hearts hurts.
I'm praying for His amazing grace, peace, and comfort to be yours in abundance.
Be gentle with yourselves...God understands the pain and loss you feel. And He is there in the midst with you.
Prayers continue.
i've been following your story since a friend told me about you all...and i'm so sorry to hear you lost your precious little one today. may you know the grace and peace of your savior as you go through this grieving process. and may He be your light in this dark hour. praying for you and praising God for Copeland's true healing!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. You have encouraged my faith so much. I will be praying for your family and rejoicing as I know that Copeland is fully healed..

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
Hold on tight to each other and the memory of Copeland.
No words.......
Thank you for what the 4 of you have taught us.
Our hearts are with you... always.

Oh, Precious Family...I'm so sorry for your loss. We will continue to keep praying for you...
I feel so blessed to have been allowed to read about sweet Copeland and her journey to the Father. I pray that God will continue to hold you in his arms and give you the peace and joy only he can provide. Your familly has encouraged me more than you can imagine. Thank you.
Praying for you as you grieve. May you experience God's comfort during this time. You are a testimony of true faith and trust in your Father. Your story has touched so many.
Dear Conor, Boothe, Sellers and Family,
I'll praise You in this storm / And I will lift my hands / For You are who You are / No matter where I am / Every tear I've cried / You hold in Your hand / You never left my side and though my heart is torn / I will praise You in this storm
I heard Casting Crowns sing this on the radio this afternoon and I pulled over and wrote it down. Your family has been heavy on may heart for the last several days. I have wept and prayed. Thank you for your faithfulness. I know why Sellers is so full of wisdom-this is what she has seen modeled by her parents. You have walked the walk and now she know the path.
Because of His love
Precious Copeland, safe at home with Jesus. We will continue to pray for all of you during this time. Praying for God's great grace to cover over you and your entire family. Celebrating the life of baby Copeland. Looking forward with great anticipation of meeting her in heaven some day. Her story, has in so many ways, touched my heart so deeply and caused me to linger over my own children in our precious moments. Thank you Copeland for the reminder of just how fragile this life is. Grace and peace to you Conor, Boothe and Sellers.
Lisa
I know the angels of heaven have surrounded Copeland and are singing sweet hymns. For this precious girl has finally found her way home. No more suffering, pain, just peace and the arms of Christ enveloping her. I can't wait to meet her in heaven. Copeland was ordained by God to have a brief life so that others may be profoundly impacted by her and the faith, grace, and dignity in which your family walked through this whole journey. May the peace of the Lord pour out over you and may you feel His arms around you while you grieve and rejoice in the magnificent angel that you called daughter.
Holly Koogler
Welcome to your real home, baby Copeland! Right now--this moment--her life is full and whole and healed and happy, because she's in the arms of Jesus. Perhaps my Joshua can show her around! :) I really, truly can think joyous thoughts about her position. Then, back on Earth, is her family, grieving and rejoicing all at the same time. I, too, pray for peace for you tonight, and pray that the enemy would be kept far away from the Farley household. I pray that you would sleep peacefully, rejoicing in these precious days and memories(such gifts!) that you've had with her, but mostly taking rest in the reality that she's Home experiencing true Sabbath rest--and will forever!
It is hard for me to find the right words to say. I just want you to know that my heart is broken for you, but at the same time I am rejoicing with you that Copeland Fair is whole again and resting in the loving arms of Jesus. I will be praying for you and your precious family in the days and weeks to come.
Thank you so much for sharing your beloved Copeland with us; your story has truly changed me.
Godspeed.
I love you and we are praying for you all.
I am so sorry - we will continue to pray for you all. Sunshine
I am so sorry.

I have followed since your story was on Sarah's In the Midst Of It blog. I am so sorry for your loss but rejoicing that she is in her Heavenly Father's arms. God bless as you walk with God on this road and know you will be with her again.

So sad for you, Boothe and family, but praying for you and all of your loved ones right now. Sweet Copeland lived well, Boothe. You can be very proud.
May God be with your beautiful family during this time.
Conor, Boothe and Sellers - we are praying for you - as you mourn the loss of your little one but also as you rejoice that she is free and with the Father. Thank you for sharing your heart. We have been blessed.
I have been thinking of your sweet girl all day today. I came across your blog on another blog this morning, and read almost the whole thing. I thought of your family and kept you in my prayers throughout the day. I was saddened to come back on tonight to read of Copeland's death. Being the mother of a special needs child myself, I know you don't want to be seen as a saint or even as an inspiration. You just want to be boring and normal like everyone else. But you are an incredible testament to the power and love of God. I am in awe of your courage and strength - your acceptance of life and death in bringing Copeland into this world. There are not too many out there in our culture of death who would have chosen life those few months ago. But you chose life, and God granted you the most precious life for eight days. You were able to meet your girl, hold her, love her - what a tremendous gift. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I will continue to keep your family in our prayers,as you face the rough road ahead. God bless you.
Dear Boothe, Conor, Paula, Mike, Sellers and all of your family,
Words are so inadequate, but you can never doubt that you loved Copeland fully and appreciated every moment that God gave you with her during her short life. She was truly an angel on loan from God. Your courage, faith, unselfishness and love for not only your baby, but everyone who has been praying for you is inspiring and has filled us all with awe. As the circle of love and prayer continued to grow, it showed just how great God's love is. You have touched many lives -- and Copeland's life had a strong, sure purpose. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with all of you tonight.
Thank you for posting the second 99 balloons video. For those of us that don't know exactly what it is, this is a touching lesson. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I have no words. Just know we are praying and wish we were closer to do something more tangible.
God love you all.
i am so sorry for your loss i am weeping for the pain you must feel...copeland was and will always be such an inspiration to me, i am forever changed by your family and your faith. thank you for being so vulnerable and so open during this time. you are an amazing woman, wife and especially mom. i hope to one day have the faith you have. i hope you will post if you have any needs that we can cover.
god bless you
Bless your hearts...Copeland and your family was heavily on my heart today...praying for you all.
I am so sorry.
So sorry to hear about your loss.Thanks for sharing Copeland with us in pictures and your blog.
Our prayers will not stop...we have rejoiced with you...we weep with you...we will never forget Copeland Fair. You have impacted our lives and we are grateful.
Mourning with you this evening. May God bring a peaceful rest and the strength to get through the trials to come.
May our sweet Jesus hold you during this time as closely as He is holding His daughter Copeland. My prayers are with you.
I have been following your story for a week now, and what an incredible family you are. I have been praying fervently here in PA and I pray for you this evening that you may feel the comfort of the Lord during this very difficult time.
God Bless You All.
so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby. my thoughts are with you all. i am praying for peace and comfort.
You and your dear family are in our prayers -- thank you for sharing Copeland's life with us, and for your amazing testimony to God's grace and peace in even the hardest of trials. May He continue to bless you as you grieve.
I have prayed, laughed, and cried with you even though I have never met you. As a mommy, I can't even imagine -- there are no words. But just think how much harder this would have been if you didn't know Jesus, and know that you and beautiful Copeland will be reunited one day. As the days and weeks and years go by, you will always remember this special week you had. How incredibly blessed your whole family has been to have so much time with her. May Jesus wrap His wonderful loving arms around each member of your family.
Copeland reached more people for Christ in her precious short week that many could hope for in a 100 year life span. God was waiting for her with a huge smile on His face, and as her angel handed her over oh the smile she gave Him!
Copeland Fair Farley... Well done, good and faithful servant.
I pray abundant blessings on you, Conor and Boothe, her parents, who loved her so beautifully. You have proven faithful, and the Lord is so proud of you both.
I am continuing to pray for your family. I pray that you will have peace knowing that Copeland is with God. You have had amazing courage and faith through all of this and you are truly inspiring to all who have been touched by your sweet Copeland.
Meg (Clara's mon)
Sorry for your loss. Know that you have lots of prayers from Roseville California.
We are loving you and your family. WE will pray for comfort and peace to sustain you during this sad time. She is with him now and that is the blessing of it all. We don't know you but We love and care for what you are going through. Our prayers are answered.

I have been so blessed to read the story of Copeland's beautiful life, and also by your courage and faith through such a confusion of joy and grief. I've been praying for your family. Thank you for sharing Copeland with us. It was a bittersweet eight days, but I'm so glad I got to share them.
We pray your souls will find rest knowing your little angel is full of color and vigor in Her Savior's Arms tonight.
We love you,
Shannon and Phillip
we love you guys.

May God meet your every need in this moment and provide even more than your heart knows how to ask.
May His comfort fill you completly and may His hope sink deep in your hearts.
We will keep praying and surrounding your entire family w/covering...
God bless...

I am so sorry for all of you, but I'm also thrilled with you that you were able to spend a week with her and that she is whole and perfect and safe in the arms of Jesus tonight. I found your blog through Angie and Nathan's for their precious Poppy, and I and my family have been loving and praying for Copeland from afar. Now our prayers for all of you will be for peace and comfort 'til this storm passes.
Thank you for sharing your journey and sweet Copeland with us.
Oh my heart is just so broken for you. My prayers continue to pour out for your family. Thank you for allowing us in during such an emotional and personal time. Sweet Copeland is loved by so many as is your family. Your faith and trust in the Lord has been truly overwhelming and so honest. I, like so many others, am forever changed by you, your family and precious Copeland.
Dear Conor and Boothe,
I pray that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around all of you today and through the many days to come. Your precious Copeland touched so many in her few short days on this Earth. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. We are all closer in our walk with Christ for it. We will continue to lift you up...
Leslie in Alabama
Boothe and Conor,
Tears of joy and sorrow are rolling down my face. I can't begin to understand what you are feeling at this moment, but I know that our Heavenly Father is rejoicing that Copeland is in His arms! You both have done a wonderful job caring for little Copeland and loving her the way God has asked you to love her! So many have been touched by her life and have witnessed your faith in God. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that in in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8: 38-39. We love you both.
Lord, thank you for healing this precious baby girl, Copeland. I can't wait to meet her when I get to heaven. Thank you, Father, for the hope and faith you have given her family during this time and to the rest of us who raise them up to you. I pray your peace and comfort now and always as they remember this amazing little girl. In Jesus' name. Amen.
bye bye Copeland...thank you for sharing your sweet and meaningful life with us. although only for a short period of time, your purpose has out lived so many of us. you have showed us how to live and appreciate the people, things, and time around us....you will be remembered forever.
and thank you to Boothe, Conor and Sellers... you are the best family anyone could ask for.....
love to all of you and your beautiful family (like aunt Chelsea and uncle Heath, grandpas and grandmas...)

I am so so sorry for your loss of precious Copeland but am rejoicing that she is no longer grasping for her little life.
I am so sad for your arms that will ache for her in the days ahead, but know we will continue to lift you up to the Lord.
May you rest in the arms of Jesus tonight knowing she is being cradled by the Lord tonight.
I am sorry and I too will miss her.
Have been following you for the last week and saying prayers as the Spirit has moved.
God bless you. Copeland was so fortunate to have parents who loved her so dearly while she was here on earth.
thank you for sharing your story with us...what a testimony it has been to so many....it has truly blessed my soul
i am praying specifically for little sellers tonight..may the Lord comfort her and grant her peace and understanding as only He can
welcome home sweet copeland...
Praying for your sweet family. May God comfort you in the days ahead. Copeland was blessed and was a blessing. I don't know you, but I am so sorry for your loss.
My heart aches for you and the pain you are going through. We're still praying...
I am praying for your family. Your testimony is so powerful and I am so sorry for your loss. Its amazing how God used this tiny baby to touch so many! PRAISE GOD FOR COPELAND! thank you so much for sharing your story with the world!
Boothe and Conor,
We do not know eachother. As the mother of 2 daughters and a Christian I wanted to thank you. Thank you for sharing your daughters, your love, and your incredible faith. May we all be as graceful as you have been as parents and as followers.
You have inspired me to work to deepen my faith, to become a better mother, wife and disciple.
Copeland was such a lucky baby to be surrounded with such love every second of her little life.
Please let us know how you are doing.
God Bless you in your grief.
Cheryl
Dear Sweet Farley Family,
I hold your family up in prayer tonight at the homegoing of little Copeland. What a mighty blessing she has been! I thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us this past week. I have truly been blessed to read your heart-felt thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams. You have helped me see my own family in a new light and to not take for granted any moment I have with them. I count it a priviledge to stand in the gap for you as you endure this time of grief. May you feel the loving arms of our Heavenly Father - He is our refuge.
What a lovely testimony your family has shown. Tonight, I lift you, Conor, Sellers and all of your family up to our Heavenly Father. Know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers for as long as you need them.
Isaiah 26:3-4 reminds us "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength"
Love and prayers from Cincinnati, OH. Amy
oh, how my heart is hurting for you right now! i cannot imagine the bizarre combination of thoughts and feelings that you must be having. know that we remain committed to praying for all of you in the coming days, weeks, months...
what a gift your precious girl was to so many! thank you for your willingness to share her and yourselves with the world. the Lord has used you mightily in my life and i know many others.
praying, hurting, rejoicing for you. blessings to you ALL
I was driving home from church tonight and the song "Give Me Jesus" was playing. (The same one Uncle David wrote about). All I could do was think of Copeland, even though I've only known about her for 2 days. Before I left for church tonight, I checked the blog, and just knew in my heart it wouldn't be long. I prayed for you, Boothe and Conor. Because I know Copeland is perfectly joyous in our Lord's arms. It is us who have to wait to meet with her again.
Remember we are fighting our battle here, but there will be rest! In fact, there can be some rest here. You will be reunited one day with Copeland. In fact, I can't wait to meet her in heaven and tell her what an encouragment she has been to me!
You are in our prayers. I pray that you feel Jesus' arms wrapped around you.
Like so many others I don't even know how I stumbled onto your site. You are such an amazing family and Copelands time here touched SO many. I am forever changed because of her sweet life that reflected God's love :)
This song has been on my heart every time I pray for you......

Praying for you in the coming days as you do the "earthly things" that are expected of you. When I lost my dad my child put it in such great terms that helped so much..."Isn't all this for us? Anyone who is with Jesus is already healed and whole." Out of the mouth of a nine year old! May you find comfort in knowing she is whole and always in your heart. Thanks cannot express my gratitude in you sharing your journey, I am humbled by your faith and renewed in my own walk with our Savior.
Blessings and prayers to you and your family. You have touched our lives and we will not be the same...what a tremendous "lifesong" you and Copeland have shared.
Thank you for sharing your daughter with the world. It has been a tremendous experience to follow your blog through this journey. Your strength, and that of your family is truly amazing. You stand as an awesome example of what God can do. I am sure I am not alone in saying trials far, far less than this have tested my faith and left me questioning. It is impossible to put into words how awe inspiring it is to see your faith and spirits so alive. I am sure you have had plenty of questioning moments, and will continue to, but in the end faith in our Lord Jesus Christ has kept you whole. Your family, and everyone touched by this little girl, have experienced one of God's angels on Earth. While rejoicing in heaven she is no doubt already at work protecting all of you. Tonight as you grieve, let her hold you in her precious arms as you have held her.
I am so sorry for your loss. Our hearts and thoughts go out to you during this difficult time.
I know that she is in a better place but I am sorry for your loss. I am glad that you had 8 days to relish in her eyes, memorize her face and love her more than any one baby has ever been loved.
She is at peace and I hope that because you know that she is no longer suffering, you can be at peace.
She has incredible parents, sister and loving family. You should be very very proud.
Thinking of you and praying for you!
Amanda Davis
I am so very sorry about Copeland. I know there are no words to ease your pain. Just know that Copeland is free of any pain and is breathing the sweet air of Heaven. I do hope she and Madeline are together and will wait for us to get there one day. Please know how sorry I am and that we are praying for you.
With Love and Understanding,

surrounding you and your family in prayers...
How precious that you, Copeland, are sweetly laying in the Father's arms.
May the love of Christ give you strength through this. Just know, you have been a wonderful example to us all...
I am so sorry- please know that my husband and I along with our boys have been praying and will continue to do so.
You all have our hearts-
Love,

"It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home.
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone."
I don't have any words, so I will borrow Ginny Owens'. I've been reading about Copeland and your family and I can't tell you how truly sorry I am. She has touched more lives than you know.

The song "Amazing" by Janelle is beautiful, and a few of the lines in particular make me think of how little Copeland came into your live's - she came blazing right into your hearts, she is amazing. The lyrics are below.
The morning cold and raining,
dark before the dawn did come
How long in twilight waiting
longing for the rising sun
ohoh ohoh
You came like crashing thunder
breaking through these walls of stone
You came with wide eyed wonder
into all this great unknown
ohoh ohoh
Hush now don't you be afraid
I promise you I'll always stay
I'll never be that far away
I'm right here with you
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
You are
You came from heaven shining
Breath of God still flows from you
The beating heart inside me
Crumbled at this once I knew
ohoh ohoh
No matter where or how far you wander
For a thousand years or longer
I will always be there for you
Right here with you
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
I hope your tears are few and fast
I hope your dreams come true and last
I hope you find love that goes on and on and on
I hope you wish on every star
I hope you never fall too far
I hope this world can see how wonderful you are
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing...
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
You are
You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. May you feel surrounded by love and touched by God's hand. I hope you are able to get some much needed rest, knowing your sweetheart is safe in the arms of Jesus, perfect and whole, and still so beautiful. Thank you again for sharing your journey with us all in cyperspace. You are such an inspiring family, even through the heartache. Live's have been changed because of your testimony - and because of the miracle you got to see in Copeland. Here's praying for peace.
I am so sorry for your loss, and I am praying for you and your family.
I am amazed and encouraged by your faith and it makes me want to be a better mommy myself.
I am so sorry for your loss and my heart is aching for you right now. Praise the Lord that He has now made her whole and she is in His loving, tender arms! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us, what an amazing testimony of faith, authenticity, courage and strength. Sweet Copeland has made an incredible, lasting impression on my life that I will never forget.
May God Bless You,

What a way to live a life! While my heart is broken for your family, I am in such admiration. Lovely Copeland was here for such a short amount of time and influenced more people than most do in a lifetime. Her existance was clearly not in vain. God used her tiny, frail body and short earthly life to impact nations for His glory (IN ONE WEEK!). Again, I grieve with you, beautiful family. But I also rejoice at the astounding work our wonderful Lord has done with your beautiful little girl and your unfailing faith. Sweet Boothe, Conor, and Sellars, while this is only the beginning of another hard road, I pray the Lord fills your house with peace and joy through the sadness. You are so loved and so supported. I am praying for you all.
Boothe,Connor and Sellers. I am so very sorry to hear of your loss . You are such an amzingly strong women . I am praying for you and your beautiful family in this so very difficult time for you again my deepest sympathy to your family
Our love and prayers are with you.

We love you guys and are hurting with you and praying that the Lord would be "close to the broken-hearted".

Conor, Boothe, & Sellers,
I have wept and mourned with you over the last few months. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter and sister, but what comfort to know that she isn't lost, but found whole and complete in her Father's arms. I will continue to pray for y'all. I pray that the Lord will give you rest. Copeland Fair's life has impacted many people and I pray that through her life, people have come to a saving knowledge of our Savior!! Boothe, I look forward to hearing more from you. I imagine your understanding of our Father's love is far greater! Still praying in Dothan... love, Darby (McPherson) Stickler (and family)
Heaven is just a little sweeter tonight now that Copeland is there!
I can't wait to meet that precious little girl one day when I get to Heaven!
Heavenly Father, thank you for the time you gave Conor, Boothe and Sellers with Copeland. We rejoice that she is now whole and healthy. Please be with the family as they grieve their loss.
May you have peace in the days to follow! You will be in my prayers! Be still and know that the Lord is with you!
Booth and Connor,
So sorry for what you as a family have been walking through these past months. As you are so proud of Copeland, I am so proud of you two as you have walked so faithfully to the Father in this trial. "I know that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us" Roman 8:18. I am sure that verse means more now than you ever dreamed it could mean. May God bless you. John and Mary Love Patton
I don't even know you -- I saw a link to your blog on testosterhome.blogspot.com -- but I've been reading your posts the last few days, and crying with and praying for you all. God bless and welcome Copeland, and God bless you, Conor, and Sellers.
Praying for you, Conor, Sellers and all of your family tonight. Even with your preparation for this moment, there is no time worse than losing a child. Rest in the peace and comfort of knowing she is safe in heaven.
Blessing to you all. Thank you for sharing all of your moments of joy, sadness, and heartache with us. Your faith is awe-inspiring and God has used you to teach faith and love to some many of us needing a refresher course.
Bless all of you.
So very, very sorry.
Thinking of you this evening.
I will be praying for you and your family tonight and in the coming weeks and months! I can't even imagine what you are feeling right now, but I just pray that you will feel an overwhelming sense of peace and comfort that can only come from The Father. I pray that He will lift you up and carry you when you don't have the strength to do it on your own.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with all of us. You have a beautiful heart and Jesus is so evident in your life!
Praying for you!
Copeland Fair, you have left a footprint on my heart.
Boothe, Conor, and family...
Your arms may be empty, but your heart is full.
I'll keep checking on you and finding faith in your writings. Boothe you have a gift in sharing the word of God with people. You help me to be a better Christian.
I wish that there was anything I could say to ease even a tiny bit of your pain. All I can do is continue to pray and that is exactly what I will do.
I pray for peace to be upon every single member of your precious family.
Be comforted that your little Copeland is resting in the arms of our Lord tonight. Please, rest in that peace. God bless you all!
AS I SIT HERE WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE, I CAN'T IMAGINE THE HURT AND LOSS YOU ARE FEELING. IN HER SHORT LIFE, COPELAND TOUCHED SO MANY PEOPLE AND I KNOW OTHERS' LIVES HAVE BEEN CHANGED BECAUSE OF HER AND YOUR FAMILY'S FAITH.
GOD BLESS YOU . YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.
Boothe and Conor,
My heart literally hurts for you right now. I truly believe it is one of those times to smile through the tears knowing that your precious girl is free at last in the arms of the Father. I know how incredibly hard it is to do that, so I will be praying for you as I have been. Praying for peace and comfort for you both as well as little Sellers. Copeland may have only been on this earth for a week, but she will live on in the hearts of many forever.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to your family for shining a light and sharing so openly your walk with Christ. It will never be forgotten.
Love,
Meredith Moss
Brentwood, TN
So deeply sorry for your loss. Praying for you all in the time to come...
Boothe and Conor,
I was so glad to read that you didn't "regret a single second spent as her mommy." I prayed specifically today for that very thing! Thank you so much for sharing precious Copeland with so many people. I'm so sorry for your loss.
The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face shine upon you
And give you peace
And give you peace
And give you peace
Forever
Lord,
Thank You for Copeland's life and her,her sister, and her parents who touch(ed) the hearts of many. Their steadfastness to Praise you in the midst of heartbreak is contagious.
May I walk away with a greater appreciation of my loved ones. And may the Farley family be comforted and move forward with joy.
Thank you for Copeland and her legacy we are left with.
Amen
Sweet Copeland, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Continuing to pray for you all in the difficult days ahead.
