My dear boy. I have thought often that we would do so many things together. I would teach you to fish and hunt. You would probably have a passion for history and maybe medicine. But God choose these things not to be. Our family is less without you, but better because you came into our lives. I never had all we could have had, but the few moments we had will last me the rest of my life. Your brother still sees something on TV and says "wouldn't that be good for Roman." My child I long for the day in which you can share some of your time with Christ with me. Your life accomplished that which God had for it and I am honered God choose our small family for you to bless. I miss you every day.
Dear Matt, I am so sorry to hear about your great loss. God Bless you and your family. My thoughts and my prayers will be with you.
Elana - if I was there I would hug you for a very, very long time - I do not understand so much in this world. There are tears of sadness in the ground in Seattle, dear friend. I love you and am holding you in my heart tightly.
Roman - my tears fall because you were fiercely loved in your short life. This world misses you, darling boy.
My love and prayers are with you both. I wish there was something more I could say that would ease your grief. Just know that I love ya'll and I am thinking of you.

Elana and Matt, we were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts. We pray that you will know the peace that only our Heavenly Father can provide. He knows the plans He has for your family, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). We love you.

Matt and Elana, we love you guys so much and are so saddened by this loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
I don't understand why something like this would ever happen.
Roman, know that your mommy and daddy loved you more than anything...they are wonderful parents! You will be greatly missed.
Elana, nothing seems right to say. I'm so sorry. My heart breaks for you. May God's peace flood you during the day and all through the long night...
much love.
Dearest Matt & Elena,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God surround you with his undying love and bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Matt & Elana,
I know well the grief you are experiencing, as we experienced the death of our second child over 23 years ago. I will never forget how the Holy Spirit brought Job 1:21 to my mind while in the ER, so that even in my grief I was reminded to bless the Lord's name! I pray that you are also experincing the peace that surpasses all comprehension (Philippians 4:6-7), for truly His grace is sufficient for our every need (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)! Psalm 139 is a great reminder of God's intimate involvement in every aspect of each person's life, whatever the length. May you find comfort in the riches of God's word, knowing that He accomplished His will in the tiny life of Roman during the days He ordained for him before he was even conceived (Psalm 139:16). God is good. He is faithful. He is sovereign. I am praying for your family. Trust Him.
you will always have a place in my heart,love pawpaw.
I love you & one day I will meet you in Gods Kingdom. My heart, prayers, & thoughts are with Elana, Matt, Marcus & Ana. I love you all & know that God's Angels are watching over you.
Love, Tammy

I love you & will see you in God's Kingdom. Elana & Matt,
We love you and are praying for you.
It is with profound sadness and desperate grief that I write you this letter, beloved son. I carried you not knowing that your days were numbered! I wish I had savored every moment, instead of whispered complaints about backaches, sleepless nights, and unending nausea. Despite this, you were precious to me from the moment I knew I was pregnant...I loved you then and I love you now. You are my heart's joy and delight...and you are now with Christ, what a glorious thought! It fills me with joy to know that while I mourn you here on earth, you are smiling and laughing with Christ in Heaven. What a relief it is to know that you are being cared for by the One who loves you the most!
I imagine your joyful smile, warm brown eyes, and irrepressible spirit...toes like your dad and perhaps my cheeks and chin? I will continue to imagine you through the stages of your life so that when I meet you in Glory one day, we shall not be strangers.
As the Bible promises, this life is fleeting...a mere moment in the vacuum of eternity. I love you and will see you soon, dearest son! One day, my child, our entire family will be together...what a joyful reunion when all five of us, your sibling and parents, are reunited at last.
Until God Calls Me Home,
Your mother

Dear Elana and Matt,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your son, Roman. I like his name so much because my grandson is named Roman, too.

Hey guys I'll be praying for you.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comfort us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. II Cor. 1:3-4

Who can fathom the mind of God? Who can comprehend His ways? God doesnt make mistakes, and God is always in control. "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, peace and a sound mind".
Dearest Matt and Elana,
Our hearts are breaking for you.
Matt, I still think of you in worshipful moments, when your love for God just shone from your face. You blessed us with your love and faith in the Lord. Cling to that now. Our prayers are with you both.
You were much-loved before your arrival Roman, and you'll be much-loved for the remainder of our time here.
In these times we question Gods work in our lifes, but hold to His promise that He loves you so much and He will never leave you or forsake you. Our prayers are being lifted up that you can find God given peace in this time and that He can comfort you through this time of loss.
God is our refuge and strength, our help in times of trouble... Psalms 46:1
We love you both.
Love you all!!!
Matt and Elana, I am so very sorry for your loss. Just know he is in God's arms and your family is my prayers.
Matthew and Elana, you have my deepest sympathy and love
