Jonah Triumphs

Our sweet Jonah passed away this evening. It has been amazing to have a little piece of heaven in our home for as long as we did.

We are feeling the love and prayers from so many of you-thank you so much.

Please pray for our children in their grieving. Thanks.

  10. Dear family,
    I found your link from a friend's facebook page. I have sat here for the last little bit lovingly gazing at Johah's pictures and feeling privileged to catch a glimpse of his strong, bright spirit and the love of your family. Thank you for sharing. My tears are mingled with all of those that have the honor of knowing your family and who got to meet Jonah during his brief stay here on Earth. My prayers and love are extended to all of you. May you find peace and feel the joy of our Father's plan this day!

  17. Behka and Rob, thanks for sharing Jonah's life on the blog. I wish I lived closer and could see you. I like what your friend said earlier about Jonah being "valiant Jonah". You can see it in all these pictures - his strong happy spirit shining through. What a valiant spirit. I love you so much and thank you for all your inspiration about what family means and what it means to be parents. You both and your kiddos are in our prayers. hugs and more hugs, ylfe

  19. Behka & Rob and kids - If only we could each do as much as Jonah. He must truly be a valiant spirit. Your pictures of his life-in-a-day were so touching. My favorite was of Jonah as a missionary. Your family has sent him on a mission-one that will be long... but he will find those on the other side who need him & they will be ready to greet you when the time comes. We love you guys.

  20. We just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you. We don't know anyone who understands and lives the doctrine of eternal families better than you do. You're a real inspiration to us. You'll be in our prayers.
