First of all, I would like to thank our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ for you all. We have been absolutly overwhelmed by the generosity, the compassion, and the love He has shown (and continues to show us!) through you all. Whether through emails, blog replies, food drop-offs, flowers, phone calls, we have been so blessed by people who just want to share our grief... and the more we know others want to take upon them - the lighter the load gets. He has used everyone.
His Word is true. His mercy is new every morning. And His grace is sufficient. And in our weakness - total weakness - He is shown strong. If you see any "strength" in us, it is Him.
As well, I would like to thank the Lord for the love of my life, my wife, the mother of my daughter, my help-mate. She is such a precious gift and a comfort to me. And as I write this, I would ask that you could pray for her in regards to the extreme tension, ringing in her ears, and the various other lingering effects of pregnancy and labor that she if feeling this morning.
Autumn's Memorial Service will be held ...
Date: Friday, October 26, 2007
Place: Fellowship Baptist Church, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (click the link and follow the website directions to find out how you get there from where you are)
Time: 11:00 am
There will be a luncheon to follow from about 12-noon to 2pm. Our plan is then to travel to Leask - where Autumn's body is waiting - to bury our daughter. We don't actually want to say "family only"... so if anyone is desiring to make the hour drive we would be honored. However, there will not be any place to gather after the graveside service in Leask - so we don't want people to feel "pressured" to make the drive all the way there and then back.
Love,
Kendall & Kurt

So sorry to hear about the loss of your precious little one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We wish we could be there, but we'll be with you in spirit and praying for you from Victoria.
Love,
Paul and Allie
May the Lord bless you with comfort and joy during this very difficult time of trial and testing.
Though our family has never had a stillborn baby, our mother has had three miscarriages which were all so difficult to bear that we are aware of what an emotionally painful experience it is to lose such a precious gift, one for whom you had such love and held high hopes for.
Our love and prayers are with you as you continue to serve the Lord.
Love and Blessings to your family.
The Bittners
