Our precious daughter Lucy Mae Tomczak was born on January 28, 2014.  As she entered this world, her heart was not beating.  Over an hour later, the doctors informed us that she never did gain a pulse.  With sadness, we grieve her loss and the loss of the memories we will never get to share with her.  However, with joy we celebrate that she is in Jesus’ arms, free of any pain, any sorrow and any fear.  We are so grateful for the overwhelming love and support from family, friends and strangers.  We are unquestionably in pain, but our hope and trust in our Savior will carry us through.

  16. My prayers are with you. I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my daughter five years ago (on January 19). The pain of loss never goes away...you never get over it...but you do get through it with the Lord. He carries and comforts me when I cry out to Him. His word I true. He is true. He is weeping with you, yet holding her in His arms free of pain and fear; full of joy, love, and hope, as well as expectation of meeting you one day face to face.

  18. My condolences and prayers are with you. I delivered an angel baby myself just one month ago today. I can't believe I've made it a month without him. Everyone keeps telling me Im strong but I don't feel strong. The only way I can explain it is that God must be carrying me through this cause I really feel weak. It's God. It's my family. It's the awesome music I listen to. In particular one song my the really awesome group called Sidewalk Prophets that sing this song, "make me broken". When I heard the song it was like, light bulb! So now Im just going to ride out life and see where He takes me. You have a long grieving and healing process ahead of you but with your faith in God and eachother, y'all are going to make it through. Much love

  19. Oh, my heart just broke for your little family. Please know my family will be praying for you. Last year I walked through the valley of the shadow of death myself and my daughter sent me a link to "Help Me Find It." I played it over and over and over again. I pray that a glimmer of light shines into your dark place. You are very special. We weep with you.

  20. Praying for you guys through this painful time. My daughter Catherine Hope was stillborn on Jan 13th last year and it was such a hard time that tested our faith. But in so many ways we have a deeper appreciation for our Lord and love for life. She was our fourth and we thought our last, but amazingly my wife is due this Friday with another baby girl. And while she will not replace her sister, we believe God knows how to heal broken hearts, and we will continue to pray that he heals yours. Much love!

  23. On Dec. 15, 2013, I lost my 23-year-old son, Ethan to drugs. I have found in the weeks since that my comfort comes first from the Lord (Ethan had been saved at young age although he had lost his way, not his salvation) and from other grieving parents. Whatever the circumstances of our loss, we share a bond in the loss of hopes and dreams that were only half formed when the child we loved was suddenly gone. It is eerie that today, only hours before I learned of your loss, I had used the Sidewalk Prophets' song "Keep Making Me" as part of my blog because I have realized how much loss has changed me and made me into a better Christian, a more loving and compassionate person. Let the Lord guide you and heal you. You and your family are in my prayers and I share your pain. http://thereluctantgrandma.blogspot.com/2014/02/ive-been-broken-willing-or-not.html

  27. Please accept my deepest sympathies...I learned about your loss of sweet Lucy through social media and I wanted to reach out to you, as I lead a ministry (Mommies with Hope) for families impacted by such loss. I would like to send you and your wife a copy of my book, "Hope for Today, Promises for Tomorrow: Finding Light Beyond the Shadow of Miscarriage or Infant Loss." If interested, you may find out more at www.mommieswithhope.com or find us on Facebook. Again, so sorry for your loss and praying, praying, praying for the Savior to be your comfort and your strength.

    With Great Hope in Jesus,
    Teske Drake
