I want to thank all of you who supported us and our granddaughter, McKinlee during her illness. Whether it was your good thoughts, donations to the Gofundme campaign we started or promoting the campaign. I will appreciate you all of my days.
I am heartbroken to tell you that McKinlee died on Tuesday, May 2.
Her time on earth was short, but fierce. She fought every single day of her life. In the end, she succumbed to CHD.
I will be forever grateful that I got to share time on earth with McKinlee. Her presence generated infinite love and we need all the love we can get.
I will be back soon, but we are going to need to cling to each other as a family for a while and figure out how life works now.
Be good to each other. Go kiss someone you love. Squeeze them and let them know how happy you are that they exist.
We need more love in the universe.
I’m so, so sorry for your loss.
Thank you. xo

the biggest hugs and prayers to you all.
I will happily accept those hugs. Thank you.
No words…
I know. 🙁
Dear Michelle, I am so sorry to hear this news. My heart breaks for McKinlee’s mom and dad. Cyber hug to all of you. We are going through difficult times right now too with a nephew’s micro preemie born one month ago at 500 grams.
I am sending healing thoughts to your new little one. I hope your little preemie grows big and strong. And thank you so much for your kind words. xo
I am so sorry to read this. I wish your family strength.
Thank you so much. We need all the strength we can get.
I’m so sorry for your loss. May the memory of the love you shared sustain you.
Thank you. The love is always good and always there. It helps.
Wrapping you and your family in white light, love and happy memories.
Thank you so much. xo
I am so sorry for your loss to you and your entire family.
Thank you, sweetness. xo
My heart is breaking for your loss. Our profound condolences to you both and McKinlee’s parents and other family members. So much love, so little time.
Thank you so much. Broken hearts suck, but it makes it easier when other people shoulder some of the burden.
It’s a terrible thing when words fail me, especially here where words are all we have.
I hope, though, that you can feel how much comfort I wish I could offer to you–to all of you–at this time.
No worries, I do feel the comfort. Thank you. 🙂
I’m so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all who were touched by and privileged to know that fierce little Angel McKinlee. Be at peace little one.
🙂 Thank you.
I’m so sorry to hear that I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers!
Thank you so much! XO
Well that just sucks. It is SO fucked up of the universe to take one so young. I hope you and your family can find some peace. Don’t worry about us; we’ll be here when you come back.
It IS so fucked up! And thank you. I am so grateful for all of you. You have no idea.
Please remember to take care of yourself while going through the process of grieving and holding your family together. You did what you could for McKinlee while she was here, and someday you will be proud of that, even as it hurts. Awful, awful news, though, it’s weird, I had this feeling yesterday that everything was going a little too smoothly, but I wasn’t thinking about McKinlee. Now I am.
We are. Randy and I are so good for each other, we’ll be fine. Thank you so much. I am glad you are here. 🙂
My condolences to you and your family. I know from personal experience how devastating the loss of a child is. From your recent posts I guess that McKinlee’s family lives in the Pittsburgh area, where I live. If ever they need someone to talk to who has made it through, I would be happy to help. I wish you strength.
Thank you so much. And I am so sorry for your loss as well. It is devastating.
My most sincere condolences to you and your family, Michelle. Wishing you peace.
Thank you so much. xoxo
Oh, Michelle – my heart stopped when I read this. Sending you and your family so much love right now.
Thank you so much. The love and support here is amazing. xo
I hope it is the aggregate of all of us here supporting you in the next days and weeks. It is definitely not the same world it was on April 1, and we all know that.
Thank you so much. XO
Oh honey. I am so, so sorry.
Sending a big tearful hug.
Thank you so much, my friend. We’re very sad, but I so much appreciate the support.
Tears in my eyes reading this short eloquent post, Michelle.
I’m behind and had no idea you were going through this in your life.
Look after yourself and your loved ones, and when you do blog again, wait until you know you’re ready.
We will be here.
Thank you so much. xoxo
Much love to you and your family. I’m so sorry you had to deal with this loss – probably the worst kind.
Thank you so much for your kind words. xo
Oh I am so sorry. Your heart must be broken. I have a granddaughter myself and I can not imagine. I do not know you, but you are in my heart and my thoughts.
