Cari and Andy,
I was shocked to hear about the loss of Caden. It is unbelievable that the sweet little girl you brought to yearbook for a visit just a few months ago is gone. My family and I are praying for you and Andy during this difficult, heartbreaking time.

Andy & Cari, I am a friend of Gretchen's and read about your loss on her blog. I am so sorry for your loss of such a precious little girl. My heart is aching for you and you have been in my prayers. Keep leaning on the Lord and each other and He will give you the strength you need to get through each day. Praying for you!
I am just an ordinary blogger who sometimes read your blog through another blog I found a while back. I just wanted to extend my sympathies to your family and I posted a prayer request on my blog for you all. I'm so sorry for your loss!
Amy
Andy and Cari- I, too, am a friend of Heather's, who has checked your blog through hers and received a prayer request email. My heart is broken for you, but I praise God for your dependence on Him. I'm celebrating the 8 months you had with your precious girl, and I know she's dancing with Joy with her King! May God hold you both near as you face this time ahead. Love and prayers- The Groves
Andy & Cari, I have been praying constantly for you. I became aware of your story through audreycaroline.blogspot.com. I cannot imagine the heartache you are experiencing, but I hope you find comfort in our Lord Jesus Christ who sustains us and loves us every day of our lives.
Although you may not be ready yet, I encourage you to read Audrey Caroline's story from the beginning. Her mother is a woman of faith who teaches all of us of God's love and how to overcome adversity, all the while appreciating that what happens to us is what God has ordained, even if it contrasts with what we want on this heavenly earth.
I promise to pray for your family every time the Lord brings you to my mind. I hope you find comfort in knowing that you and your precious baby girl are loved, and that we all await the glory of reunion in Heaven, where there is no more pain or sorrow, only glory in the light of our Lord Jesus Christ. May God bless you and your family all the days of your lives.
While I don't know the two of you personally, I heard of your tragedy through 3 different avenues and have been praying fervently since. I can't imgaine the loss of a child and ache when I am praying for your family.
My family and I are praying for yours and will continue in the days to come.

Cari & Andy,
I'm sorry we couldn't be there to celebrate Caden's Life with you. You are in our thoughts & prayers. Caden was a real joy & I enjoyed holding her in the nursery. If you need anything, let us know. Lea, Jeff, Jamie, David & Jessica Spence
Cari, I think you said it best when you said today that we were witnessing a miracle. You and Andy used a platform of tragedy and you glorified the Lord. What hundreds of us witnessed today will have a ripple effect in eternity. People will come to Christ because of your decision to submit yourselves in obedience. What a beautiful thing to watch you 2 interlace your fingers with the One who adores you and you chose to proclaim His greatness. You are the apple of His eye and I am honored to be able to call you family of God. At night Micah and I pray dilegently for very specific aspects of your lives. We will not fail you in this endeavor. Make no mistake, you will see Caden again, God will honor that promise. I truly love you guys and offer anything I have or anything I can steal (kidding). My home is your home and my ears and my hands are available 24 hours a day. Thank you for proclaiming the Good News today, it will not return void.
Love you guys
Justin, Debby, Micah, Lexi, (no name) Williams
I am truly sorry for your loss and am praying for you guys!
Cari,
I was amazed and praised God for how well you were dealing with things on Saturday. I hate that this is what sometimes brings people together. Rob and I are praying for you and your family during this time.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Cari and Andy,
We have met you a few times through Stacey. Please know that Mike and I have prayed for you from the moment we heard about your sweet girl. We will continue to do so in the coming days and months. Our hearts go out to you and your family. May God continue to give you strength during this time.
Mike and Lori Kelly
Andy & Cari,
I found you through Heather & Gretchen's blog. I hope God brings you all the peace and hope you need during this difficult time.
I left a link on thier blog but wanted to share this with you as well.....
www.rickandbubba.com
This is the website of a local radio show in Birmingham Al. One of the hosts lost his son a few months ago and they have posted his testimony from the funeral services. It changed my life hearing it and I think you might take some comfort in hearing it also.
Scroll towards the bottom of the home page and there is a link to see the memorial for Bronner Burgess. The testimony links should be on that page.
I am friends with Michael, Katherine, & Judah Kramer, and I just wanted to let you know you are in my prayers.
