To the Joyners:

I am so sorry for your loss. I cried as I read your message. I have a baby

girl exactly

one month older than Lexy was. Lexy must have gotten her " angel " traits from

her

family. I think it is rather amazing of you to ask for donations to go to the

Magic

Foundation in your time of grief. Although I am sure no words can even come

close

to making you feel better in this sad time, please know that my thoughts and

prayers

are with your family.

Important from The Joyners

I don't know how to tell everyone this... Alyssa's baby sister, our

newborn, is (Lexy), passed away Monday eveing from SIDS.

The reason why I'm telling everyone this is because I wanted you all

to know that and I requested that all donations go to the Magic

Foundation.

The viewing is this eveing at Price Funeral Home in Manassas, VA and

the service is tomorrow at 2 at the same place.

Please, everyone... hold your children constantly. Tell them they're

loved all the time. No child can be spoiled by love. And dont put

anything off til tomorrow... because sometimes, tomorrow doesn't come.

Thank you,

With all our prayers,

[Guest guest]

Dear and ,

I am so sorry for your loss. I am amazed that you are thinking of

others at this the worst moment of your life. Your salutory advice

for us all to hold onto our precious children and live for the

moment is " sobering " . And your request for donations to go to Magic

is beyond thoughtful.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers as your special angel Lexy

watches over you all. I pray the wonderful memories you share of all

of you together will one day preside over this tragic event.

Best wishes,

Dear and ,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your precious baby girl. Though she is

gone from your arms, she will be remembered forever.

Thank you for the reminder to love and appreciate God's gifts on a daily

basis. Too many people take their children for granted these days.

Both you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God grant you

the peace you need for healing.

,

The closest I can come to your grief is when the Dr's told me that

only had 36 hours to live. God Bless that he over came those odds. One night

while lying in bed I had an idea for a poem. I titled it " The Architects " . I

can't remember some of it but here it goes:

We are all considered architects.

God temporarily puts us on this earth while he builds us a kingdom of our

own.

While here we are to build a staircase leading us to heaven.

For every obsticle that we overcome in His name we build one step closer to

God.

Some of the obsticles may be as simple as telling the truth and some as hard

as a family members death.

When God is finished with your kingdom he will come for you.

The time may be short or it may be long, but eventually he will come.

So now you are standing at the foot of your staircase gazing at the

magnificant light above.

You here His voice, " Come my child " .

You start up the steps, looking at each one that you have created.

As you near the top you notice a large gap between the top of your staircase

and God.

You look down with tears in your eyes.

God then asks, " Why do you cry? "

You point to the gap and quietly ask, " Can I still come in? "

God then smiles and says, " My child. Your first step was acknowledging that

I am God. You have been in heaven ever since. "

I will be honest and say that I don't cry for Lexy but I envy her. She is up

there now talking to God in paradise. I lost a friend about 2.5 years ago

and at his funeral all I could think about was him talking to God about the

meaning of life, why things work the way they do, and so much more. Lexy was

put on earth for a reason and she has fulfilled it. Now God wants her to see

her new kingdom. He also wants you to build another step closer to your

kingdom. Please don't cry. I will pray that you find happiness out of such a

tragedy. You will see her again. Good Luck.

To the Joyner Family~

I can't even begin to pretend to imagine what you are all going

through. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious peanut, Lexy.

I know you must be thinking the time with her was just too short, as

I would think the same thing. She is with the Lord now, and you will

see her again someday. My hope for you all is that you will be given

the strength to make it through this difficult time. As I type this,

I realize that her funeral is today. I will be thinking of all of

you at 2 pm this afternoon, as I am sure I will be thinking about

this for some time. It is so hard to imagine that something like

this has happened in our community here on this listserve, but

thankfully everyone here is so supportive and heartfealt, and I hope

you draw from that as you try to get through this time. , I am

so sorry, and I wish I could be there for you, because I have such a

huge heart and I can only imagine waht you are going through. I wish

I could just reach out and hold and hug you right now. Just know

that there are people that are thinking about you all constantly and

longing to try to help. As a mom, I know you are wondering why. We

will know the answers to these questions someday. I hope you can

find strength, .

I will be there for you at anytime,

Jodi R.

Just wanted to respond and let you know that our prayers are with you

and your family! My heart breaks for you and I am so sorry for your

great loss!

Carmen

[Guest guest]

The Joyners,

I am so so sorry about is's death. All of our children are so precious

and touch those around us in ways we will never fully understand.

Her life with us was short and you will contemplate what her first word

would have been, imagine her walk and run in a year or so. Peace does not

come easy and I will pray for that for your family.

I was hoping to have something profound to write to you as I am still

surviving the death of my daughter last July. Everyone has to find their own

way through this and that means each individual person in your family too.

All I can say is that your heart has a hole in it and the wind blows through

it. Sometimes that wind will be cold and gusty and at other times like a

nice warm summer breeze. The hole remains just the same. When you are ready

I hope you will be able to feel and survive the gale force winds that blow

through your heart because there will be nice summer breezes to appreciate.

Janelle loved babies and I know she is welcoming is with her little open

arms and a great great big smile. Know she is being cared for and God is

with her now.

[Guest guest]

Dear Joyners,

I am sorry for your loss. I hope you have a faith to sustain you. I

believe that children go back to their Heavenly Father to be cared

for by him. She is OK. I hope that the rest of you are too.

[Guest guest]

Dear Joyner family,

I have not checked the board lately, so I am shocked and so very

saddened to hear of the loss of your precious angel, " Lexy " ...

Why it seems it was only yesterday that you joyfully announced her

arrival...

Just want you to know that I am sending lots of hugs and prayers your

way...my heart aches for you all, and the tears flow freely...

I only hope that God can somehow bring you comfort, may he envelope

you with his love...

I know you will sorely miss your sweet is. May your memories of

her never fade...and I hope you can look forward to the day you will

see her and hug her and kiss her again.

With deepest sympathy,

The Cardinale Family
