It has been our prayer that God would use Abby's life to touch the lives of others with His love and mercy.  Here are a few people that have shared with us about how Abby's life has touched them.

This is her legacy ...

I am an Emergency Department nurse who has been asked by the Emergency Nursing Association to give a presentation on the death of a child at the national conference in October of next year. They, as I, felt it is important to inform nurses of the importance of allowing families time with thier child, holding them, dressing them, etc when their child dies in the ER. Many ER's find this a foreign concept and consequently do not allow for this to be done and do not have a policy. I am trying to create national champions who will turn this thinking around and advocate for parents, such as yourself, and who will promote photos of their children as well. I am hoping that to do this, and to touch the hearts of nurses you will grant me permission to use Abby's pictures that you have included as well as some of your story in my presentation. You have tugged at my heart and I will certainly make it a tender tribute to Abby's memory and trust that she will be used to touch hearts so that a grieving family might leave the ER with a small memory that we as nurses can provide in order to help families begin to heal. Both my husband and I are touched by your story and your testimony. The music and your pictures are so beautiful and the words are so true. It gives me hope that Jesus is holding my 2 little embryos that we lost a few years ago and that we will too, one day see. Thank you for being so candid and brave.

I really wanted to tell you that God has used you in my life to help me so much to deal with losing Riley...and to feel like its allright to grieve. Unfortunately as you already know, having another baby doesn't take away that pain, but it does lessen the blow. We often wonder why Cooper made it but the other 4 died from the same complications he had? Only God knows...
I guess mostly I wanted ot encourage you that God has laid you on my heart lately to pray for you and so I have been. I am glad I saw your myspace page when I was in the thick of my greiving process...thank you for sharing your heart. You really have ministered to many.

I found your testimonal by a round about way... long story... and there was a link to your myspace for the slideshow of your precious baby Abby. For a while I have been contemplating being a photographer to the local hospitals for times like yours. Your story has inspired me and touched my heart. Thank you for sharing it and being a brave woman of God. My husband and I had a miscarriage at almost 3 months and that was hard enough, I can not even imagine what your family has come through. The good news is that our babies are in the hands of the Father. There are a few songs that have helped me through all (health and otherwise) of my struggles one is "Held" by Natalie Grant and I think your brother sang "Praise you in this storm". You are so strong and you can tell your family is on "solid ground". Thank you for making this desire to use a gift He has given me at the forefront of my prayer life.
