I'm sorry if we didn't get you called and you find out this way, but my sweet Aimee didn't surive. She's still on a respirator so her heart is beating but she's not with us. I'm really struggling right now.
We haven't told our younger kids yet and I need to get some sleep so I can think. I'll try to post again later today.

ReplyDeleteMy Sweet Friend and Neighbor, Wendee, and your good family, Garret, Aaron and Victoria,
ReplyDeleteHow utterly sad I am to learn of your incredible and unexpected trial. I am sorry to not have known about your troubles until now, as I wish I could have come to help you in some way. Beautiful Aimee, you are much too young to have your life sniffed out like this. I am sooooo sad right now, and crying for all of our loss, but especially yours. I have missed your beautiful voice Aimee, and your smiling, bright energy. Love you all. You know I am here for you, and at least can lend you a bit of understanding empathy.
With great sympathy and affection, Rebecca and the Van Skyhawks
Dearest Wendy, I just can't believe she is gone. This was so sudden. Life is so fagile. She has been through so much in her short lifetime, and has been so strong through it all. She was blessed with a very wonderful mother, she couldn't have asked for a better one. We pray that Heavenly Father with comfort you and help you to understand his plan for her. She is now free to use her wonderful talents and move forward without having to deal wit all she had to on earth. We love her, and we love you, Garrett and your family. Please know we are here for you, I wish right now I could put my arms around you, and put my sorrow and tears

ReplyDeleteI don't know if you remember me, but my name is Tynille. Aimee was there for me in some of the hardest times of my life. Your whole family was. This has devastated me. I can't even imagine what you are going through. I'm so sorry. Aimee was an amazing person, she didn't deserve this. Your family will be in my prayers.
Wendee, I am so sorry to hear about Aimee. She is a wonderful young woman! I love her and am so grateful for her example of strength! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Mindy Bush
ReplyDeleteI love Aimee and I feel like no words can make it better, but one thought I had when I was bawling my eyes out is that, maybe God just couldn't stand for her to be away from him anymore. He loves her so much and I bet He and Christ and her Heavenly Mother swept her into their arms when she got to Heaven. They will take care of her and love her and she will watch over you.
ReplyDeleteI heard a story from a seminary substitute teacher one time that I think will apply to you. Her daughter (I think she was around 5 years old), was diagnosed with a very rare disease that had a maximum survival time of 42 hours. She went into a bathroom crying and pleading with God to let her keep her baby and when she was asking this of God she said "But she's mine" and she heard in her head "She's mine too." Aimee will be blessed and praised for her trails.

Wendee- I am heartbroken at this news and it is hard to comprehend, but I am so thankful for the knowledge of the gospel that we can see those we love again someday. She was a beautiful and strong girl and I will miss her so much! You and your family are in my prayers and if there is anything I can do, please let me know. -Tadja Potter
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry, Wendee. Last night when I was in the temple, I felt that I needed to put you and your husband's names in as well as your daughter's. I didn't know why because I had not had a chance to read your update yet. I just knew that was what the Spirit was telling me to do.
ReplyDeleteRight now my heart is breaking for you. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. You've been with me through a lot, Wendee. I'm here for you too! I love you!
Wendee I am so sorry to hear about Aimee, please know that you AND your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain that you are all going through but, I am sending you comforting gentle hugs. Sherry_Lynn
ReplyDeleteI'm at such a loss for what to say, how to let you, Garrett, Victoria and Aaron as well as the rest of the wonderful family you have know how much we are thinking of and praying for you and your loved ones. This is such a hard time. I'm sure the grief is so all encompassing that I can hardly imagine it. I am so glad, though, that you have strong faith and that you know our Heavenly Father loves you all and loves Aimee. Our hearts are with you.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry, Wendee. I am sorry you have to to through all of this. Please know that there are so many people out here who love you and your family. I will be praying for you all during this very hard time.
ReplyDeleteWendee, we are so sorry. I did not know she has been sick. I have been reading her posts on FB but did not realize. Let us know if you need anything.
ReplyDeleteWendee we are so sorry. As a family we are so heartbroken for you and wish Gods choicest blessings upon Aimee, You and your family. There is no doubt sweet Angie, Les, Reva and many others that have passed have and will embrace sweet Aimee as she has passed her test in this mortal life, and is with her family on the other side. You will always be with her as I'm sure she will be close to you.

ReplyDeleteWendee, My Amy called me in tears last night with the terrible news. My heart is breaking for you. I keep remembering all those hours we sat together waiting. Aimee was so full of joy and life and hope for the future. That is how I will remember her. We will be praying that you will somehow find peace and comfort through this. You and Aimee are loved.
ReplyDeleteJulie Johnson
Words can't express it, but I'm so sorry for your loss Wendee. I didn't know your daughter, but I've come to know you a little bit and this is such a tragedy. Prayers are being said for you and your family. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the best with words but I hope that this message is carried to you with love and not just by my words. I didn't know Aimee extremely well, but from my limited experiences with her, I found that she was a genuinely beautiful young woman, full of light and life and love. Those who have had the great opportunity of knowing her (if only briefly) will forever be touched by her sweet spirit. I pray for peace and comfort to follow your family, and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person. I find that it is moments like these - life changing moments - and the people involved that are the things that inspire me to be a better person than who I am now. They inspire me to touch people's lives in beautiful ways, just as your daughter has touched mine. I hope that you will be able to see beauty in this moment, even through your grief. You and your family are in my prayers. I love Aimee, I love you, and I love your family. May these prayers and messages of love carry you through this time of loss and sadness.
ReplyDeleteI just now learned of this tragedy. I am so sorry for your loss, Wendee. There are no words that I can offer as comfort, but please know that you are your family are loved and that we are praying for you to feel the comfort that only the Spirit can bring.
ReplyDeleteEd and Kaye Collins and the boys
I am so sorry Wendee. I just heard about Amiee. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know I can't make it better but if there is anything I can do to help you please let me know. I love you and know that Heavenly Father is with you.
ReplyDeleteLove, Cindy Schmidt
So sorry to hear of your dd's demise. Will keep you and Aimee, and your family in my prayers. Just know that we send you not only our condolences in this time of grieving, but our love as well. Wish I could give you a big hug. Know that God is with you and with your dear child. He will never forsake your precious girl, nor you. As hard as it may seem, know that God has a plan for Aimee, for you, for us all. One day we'll get to understand, see and be with our loved ones...forever. I send you my love, my deepest sympathy, and wish you and your family be in God's Arms and be comforted. Love
ReplyDeleteDear Wendee,
ReplyDeleteThis your cousin, Kim. I am so sorry, tears are rolling down my cheeks, wishing I could just hug you. I didn't hear about any of this until Friday morning. It was my dads 65th birthday. I was excited because we, all of my siblings, were invited to the "sibling lunch" and I was going to see all of our aunts and uncles. When my sister, Amy, called to let me know what had happened my heart broke into pieces. I can only imagine what you are going through. I can only imgine how your heart must feel. I have been texting my dad to find out what's going on, and then I found your blog today.
I want you to know that I am sorry for lose. I know there are no words that can describe how any of feel. I know that Amiee was loved. Who couldn't with that beautiful hair and voice.
As I end I want to share with you one of the things that has brought me great comfort at this time. As I have been pondering your lose over the past couple of days I continually turn to our faith, our knowledge of the gospel and in knowing that your sister, Angie, has been here. She is probably the one that took Amiee's hand and said "I will show you the way." I also know that G & G Olson, Aunt Bobbie and many others who are beyond the veil were there. That is what comforts me, knowing that families are forever.
I will continue to pray for you, that you may not only find, but feel the peace you are in need of at this time. I will also pray that as you go through this trial, our Savior will be there to help you through and someday that someday the answers will come.
God bless you and your family
I love you
Kim Hopkins
My daughter Megan was a trek sistr with Aimee and loved your daughter. Our love and prayers are with your family.

Wendee, It's been a while since we have been in touch but I heard of your loss and I am so utterly heartbroken for you. You and your family will be in my prayers and thoughts in the days and weeks to come.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly heart breaking! I remember what a sweet and funny little girl she was. I am so sorry for you and your family. You will, of course, be in our thoughts and prayers. Good luck, muffin. You have an angel who will get you through the trials that come from losing someone you love.
ReplyDeleteGod bless your family in this difficult time! May he send all angels to comfort you! lots of prayers being sent your way! <3
ReplyDeleteIt was a honor and privilege to serve Aimee as her Sunday School leader and then again in YW's. She was such a shining example of a righteous daughter of God. Aimee's testimony of the gospel was powerful and amazing. I loved to hear her express her love of her Savior. She touched many lives and will not be forgotten. I pray that your family will be blessed with peace and comfort during this difficult time. Love Landon and Jamie Harsh
