I don’t have the words. For five years God has let us be the parents of a beautiful little girl named Hadassah Marie Williams. This morning she went to be with Jesus. Somehow she got herself turned over which she has never done before. Due to her limited mobility she couldn’t get back over. We thought we still had a chance. We did all we could as did the Belpre ER team. But today at 7:15, Haddie walked into the gates of heaven. She is no longer silent but singing with the angels. She’s not an angel. That’s not how it works. She is beside Jesus and I have to believe she is beside my dad as well. For the first time she stood up and ran. She ran into his arms.
Those of you who choose not to believe...how? I have nothing else in this moment to hang on to. There is a God and He is good. While we work through the next through days months and years there will be tremendous pain. But we rejoice today and cry. We know exactly where she is.
We will let you know the arrangements when we find out. Thank you for praying for our little girl and loving our Haddie. God is good.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Much love. -Karen for the Durfey crew.

Travis and Kate,
ReplyDeleteYou painted a beautiful picture of Haddie's homecoming. We are so blessed to have met Haddie and her family and pray for comfort to those she leave behind. It's not goodbye, it's see you later.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. She was a sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteMay you be wrapped in His love and peace.
ReplyDeleteTravis and Kate, I know there is nothing I can say to make the heartbreaking pain go away. I believe you are right, she is with your Dad. Running and as happy as a 5 year old can be. You both have been the most amazing parents to Haddie. The strength and perseverance that you all showed by not giving up over the years has been amazing and heartwarming. Now it's time for Pap to sing with her and rejoice for they are in Heaven where it's glorious is because it is absolutely perfect. Sending strength, prayers and hugs.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Haddie was such a blessing in the short time I was able to spend with her. My thoughts are with you and your family in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss. Haddie is in a better place, singing and playing everything she couldn't do here. My heart goes out to you both......
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers to you and all who loved Haddie. Thousands were able to see God through his miracle of Haddie. I'll be keeping you and your families in prayer for some time. Much love in Christ!
ReplyDeletePrayers as you go through this difficult time. Rejoicing of where she is:)
ReplyDeleteHaddie
ReplyDeleteOh what an amazing plan
The Lord designed it so well
A frogger was in the making
Angels were ringing their bells
The Lord chose the parents
Kate and Travis it was to be
To raise this child of God
They named her Haddash Marie
A girl with two birthdays
She was very special indeed
From the very very beginning
Haddie helped us to believe
The power of prayer was proven
Our faith as strong as steel
Miracles really did happen
In our hearts we knew it was real
From the very first blog post
Starting on April 9, 2013
Haddie took us on a journey
To places our hearts had not seen
Many of us never met her
But oh, the impact she made
She was truly a bright light from God
From our hearts she will not fade.
Beverly Powell
God's peace is like no other. Jim and I are hurting with you in your loss and celebrating with Haddie's victory in Jesus. We love you guys. Jim and Carolyn Lindesmith
