    I am so truly sorry for your loss. I know that there are no words that can be said at this time to ease your pain. My husband and I lost a 4 month old son in 2001 and know that was the hardest thing to have to bear. Time will eventually ease your pain. I work at Children's in the NICU and when I read this in the paper my heart just broke for your family. My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you go through this difficult time.

    I want to send my sympathies to you and your family. I was reading the Fremont Tribune and saw that smiling face and my heart broke for you. From reading the other e-mails sent it sounds like he was a special little man. Take comfort knowing he is safe in God's hands. Cherish the memories, they will help get you through some of those hard times.

  13. Jolene Stockamp
    Shelli, Jeff and family, So sorry to hear of Nathaniel's death. I don't have any other words to say, except that you are exceptional parents. Be comforted in the fact that God knew what was best for Nathaniel and has taken him to a perfect place. I know that doesn't take away the hurt, but Nathaniel is perfect now and will be waiting for all of you to join him some day whenever God decides that will be. We who are left have a difficult time understanding God's plan because sometimes it seems so unfair. You are a strong family and I pray that God will have his arms around all of you to see you through this painful time. Take comfort in the memories that you have of Nathaniel's short life here on earth and know that he has no more pain. His smile is precious. My deepest sympathy to all of you. Jolene
  14. Regina Goeller
    Dear Miller family, I don't know what to say...Nate was an amazing little guy. His smile made you want to smile. I am so sorry for all the pain you are going through. I have always admired your strength, kindness and willingness to be there for other families at Children's--I only hope that one day I can be as good of a parent as the both of you are. God Bless your family always. I am sure little Nate is smiling down on all of us. Regina Goeller

    My condolences to the Miller Family during this trying time. Having children of my own I can't even imagine what they are going through. I only hope that with the support of their family and friends that they can find peace.
  16. Becca & Jeff Svitak
    Our sincerest condolences for your loss. It's not fair that parents should outlive their children...to see them grow and prosper is such a gift. May you find comfort in your friends, your family, and in the knowledge that Nathaniel is with Jesus. May God watch over you and your family in your time of sorrow.

    Dear Shelley, Jeff, Emma, and Izzy, Words do not come easy when things like this happen. Just know you gave Nathaniel the best life he could ever have. He had so much love and care. He can now be that same happy beautiful little boy in heaven. He will always be with you in your heart. I believe those that leave us are always our guardian angels. I have had so many experiences with that. I know Steve is always there for me, and my kids. I will pray for you all and send you love and and my deepest sympathy at this time. Please take care of yourselves. Much love, Debbie Brooks

  22. Christine Edwards
    Shelli, Jeff and Girls, I want to express my sincerest sympathy to you. I know your pain as only a mother can. Dave understands Jeff's grief as only a father can. We loved Nathaniel very much. I always looked for his smiling face on my darkest days at Children's. I am so thankful to Nathaniel and Noah as they brought us together and we will forever be friends. I thank them both for that. Nathaniel and Noah are now in Heaven with no more tubes or pain and a whole functioning heart. They are playing patty cake and being normal little boys. We are praying for all of you. Girls, remember that you have a special angel all your own and he will always be watching over you. Caleb found 2 stars last night in the sky very close to each other. He said that now Noah was not alone for his best friend is by his side in Heaven. God Bless all of you, Your friends forever, The Edwards family

    It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angel says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks, "Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies, "Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves." No words I can say will make the pain go away, I loved Nathaniel and always will. He made a huge difference in my life....because of him we became friends and I am forever thankful. My heart aches along with yours and I hope you know he will never be forgotten. Thank you for sharing him with me and letting me get to know the beautiful boy that he was and he will forever live in my heart.

    Dear Miller Family, During these hard times, please know that you and your family are in my prayers daily. Nathaniel is a glorious angel now watching over all of you. I'm sure he is telling the Lord to take your pain away and to let you know that he is happy and no longer sick. I know nothing I could say could take your pain away, but please know that I am lifting you up to the Lord daily. We love you all. Chastin, Stephen, Jaden & Jordyn Schmeichel
