What a hard day today is, a double edged sword. God delivered you from this world 19 years ago today. I selfishly wish that I could have had more time with you, but I praise God that you are with him in paradise. I pray that God gives us all the peace we need to make it through each and every day until we see you again. I especially pray for your Mommy Chloe, I know how very much she misses you. Aunt Tissy thinks of you every single day and I cant wait to hug you again!

Missing my sweet, dear Chloe everyday but especially today on her birthday. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of our precious Chloe

Another year since you gained Heaven. Never gets easier. Love and miss you so much sweet girl. Can’t wait to be reunited with you. Forever missing the best part of me without you.

Missing my girl today and everyday

Happy birthday baby girl! I miss you so much and my heart breaks without you here. So ready to be with you in paradise. It never gets easier. Come, Lord Jesus.

Another year passes full of a life with ups and downs good and bad and all of the things that fill it up yet because Chloe is part of you, knew but God in the womb and purposed to be your daughter, you think of her and your heart bleeds every day.
But life is different for her. It can be easy to think she missed precios experiences here but not where she is, not in a kingdom prepared by the hands of God as a inheritance and the place where He is reuniting us where He lives.  
Nothing is lost nothing but only now delayed.
She has missed nothing that will not be restored to you both. Gods original intent has not been forgotten. Satan is unable to steel such things and so we must remember there is no better place for our children to be.  
Every day we are one day closer to being reunited and thst life being lived out together forever.
Until then we endure with this great hope.

I never knew this little girl but we met her mother at a Grief Share meeting years ago after our 16-year-old son Robbie Stalets left our lives for a while. Since our son leaving I have been on a quest to know all possible about heaven and the reality of eternal life and found there is 1000 times more we can know than what most people think. Cloe is FOREVER linked as your daughter and EVERYTHING in God's word confirms that. The FACT that God's total desire and new commandment to us is to love Him and others is proof that relationships are FOREVER and are the most important thing to God and us whether we know it or not. This fact sets the stage for our hope that those we grieve for, the things we grieve for in life, will certainly be again and occur and Jesus wants us to KNOW that. The sweetness in Cloe has now been made perfect as she is living in a place that reunites family and friends to a life and place that is truly home. It is not my grief that pushes me to a solid belief Cloe and Robbie are aware, at least to some degree, of their loved ones here. The restoring redemptive work of Christ is directly about that and those that assume God must somehow wipe memories to allow for peace, love, and joy are mistaken and short-sighted in the matter. Cloe and Robbie and all our loved ones wait in patient joy for the plan to be fulfilled and our joining them. Cloe didn't miss out on anything except some of the pain of life here. Instead, she was blessed beyond measure.  I often contemplate this with my son and understand the root of our great love for our children and others is to want the best for THEM, not ourselves. Although it more often seems so far away, we will look back and this terrible time of grief will be wiped out not by the loss of the memory (our memories make us who we are) but by the fact that we are finally with them again. As if that wasn't enough we will also realize separation and death will never occur again. Imagine actually realizing that is our current reality, oh what a day that will be!  We will reunite and pick up life there forever with all the simple yet profound most important things to God and man. Things like interacting and catching up talking about all the different ever-changing things that our lives will continue to experience. Purpose and plans, the choice to do what we want, get involved where we want, to go and see or do what we want. Life will be lived and shared. Gatherings of family and friends and interaction. Sharing the joy of others' lives and God Himself is the entire purpose of the cross and salvation as all the things God created remain and only the curse and sin are removed.
A life full of all the things you long for now will be forever as it is overshadowed by the Lord Himself who has the heart of a parent that wants nothing more than that.
Let us therefore not forget this great thing God has done and the Incredible gift we are given that waits for us and run this race in a manner to get that prize. I will never stop thinking and loving and missing my son as you won't Cloe. Set your eyes and heart attention on what's coming and together we will endure until God says we don't have to anymore. 
It makes me smile to know my son's heart and soul and to know life is connected both here and there. In heaven, lives are connected as they are here but in a greater way as that is our final destination. Understanding what will forever be as relationships are tied in eternity I know Robbie and Cloe know each other just as our lives here have become eternally connected.
Im glad to know my boy is ok and life is very good for him as I know you are for Cloe. 
Thank you Stacie for allowing the pain in your life to be there for others. He used you to help us in ways I cannot describe.
She is such a sweet girl can't wait to meet her.  

Another year since you left this earth for paradise. Happy for you, sad for me because my heart literally aches every minute of every day. I’m so thankful this year to have Aunt Tissy and Sammie here visiting in Colorado and so many loved ones reaching out to help me through the day. I’m one year, one day, one hour closer to being reunited with you. Love you with my whole heart!!

What a blessing it is to do life with your momma little Chloe. She loves you with her whole being and I'm sure you would say the same of her. Can't wait to meet you in heaven. Until then we are fighting the good fight of faith and laying hold of eternal life. Blessings to you Stacie.

She is beautiful, like her momma. God bless you with His perfect peace until you meet again.

Missing you today baby girl!❣️ My life without you has been hard to say the least. However, I wouldn’t trade the time we had together for anything. You are and always will be the very best thing that has ever happened to me and I will have a hole in my heart until I can hold you again. As our old saying goes, “best friends forever pinky promise.”

Happy Heavenly Birthday , hugs and love for your Mommy everyday

This is a lovey memorial to Chloe. I'll pray for your peace today. Love you girl. -Jeri

Sweet Chloe,
I never got the opportunity to meet you this side of Heaven, but through your mommy I can hear your voice and feel your hugs. What a precious, beautiful soul you are. I cannot wait to get my real hugs when I get to go Home and meet you.

You would be so proud of your mom Chloe! She is an awesome person. I hope you had the chance to meet wyatt. Cant wait to meet you! ❤

Thinking about you today baby girl! Didn't think it was possible to ache this bad for this long. I miss you SO very much. It takes my breath away to think of your beautiful face, cheerful smile, little hand that was always in mine. You were too perfect for this world. As much as I miss you, I continue to rejoice for you that you are in the arms of our loving Father. I'm doing everything in my power to make you proud, in hopes of one day hearing the words "well done, my good and faithful servant" from our amazing God. Chloe Kristine, I rejoice that I will spend all eternity with you my precious, sweet baby girl, worshiping the King of Kings. I continue on with living out the faith that our best days are yet to come. " I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. "-Galatians 2:20

What a sweet and beautiful little girl!! Alive in Christ and still loved and celebrated here on earth. Chloe's life is impacting so many people through her amazing mom! Stacie's witness is truly a testimony of how God's grace is sufficient when life's tragedies happen. As a mom who also lost a child I can tell you this experience is life shattering and heart crippling. When my husband and I lost our son, Stacie was there to walk beside us. Her ministry through Grief Share was a life line to us in the midst of agonizing pain. We saw through her how joy and sorrow can walk side by side. Thank you Lord that Chloe Brattain lived and that through her legacy lives are being healed!

Well today Chloe would be 15! SO hard to believe. One of the people in the GriefShare class I lead said it perfectly- In gets easier but it never gets better~! I miss her so much-she truly was my best friend and the best gift from God I will ever receive here on this earth! I give all the glory to God almighty for allowing me to use the horrific grief I've experienced to help others, through Biblical Counseling and GriefShare classes and counseling. God is always faithful!

To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power,
so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thess 1:11-12

Thank you for sharing your heart with us. I cannot begin to imagine your journey through grief and loss. May our Lord enfold you, uphold you and fill you (and your family) with unbelievable grace, comfort, peace and love. We are missionaries in Zambia and in May this year we were catapulted into a similar journey when fellow-missionaries lost their 10 year old daughter after she collapsed and died due to arrythmia of her heart. In the midst of that very dark time it was all we could do but cry out to our merciful God. I am going to share this idea of a tribute/memorial website with this family. May God continue to bring healing to you. Your beautiful Chloe will never, ever be forgotten! P.S. I love the music you chose!

This was a wonderful idea Stacie. You are always in my prayers. I can't imagine how your heart feels on a daily basis. She was a beautiful, sweet little girl. Love you bunches!

Can't even begin to imagine what you feel day to day...my heart breaks for you. :) Hugs and love.

Can't imagine the pain you still feel. What a beautiful, sweet little girl. I love that you have done this. God bless!!

I just created this sight for Chloe today, November 18,2013, almost 9 years after she left this earth!
Truly I think it's to help me, for all the times I just want to cry out and do cry out to God and many times feel like no one is listening!The pain hasn't gotten easier, I'm confused as to who or why anyone could say it does. The first 5 years I think I was in total denial and since then I have just lived my life one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. Living for one purpose- to glorify the God who gave me Chloe to begin with. There is NEVER an easy day-some days are unbearable, but the best days are tolerable at best. She was my life, my joy, my reason for smiling but the good Lord has shown me how much more I have to be greatful for. That doesn't make the missing her any easier, just makes life do-able! Through my heartache, tears and excruciating pain, day after day I smile and try to live a life that will be pleasing to God and that He may consider me worthy of the call to serve Him. I know that God has to understand the loss of a child because He "willingly" did so with His own son. Unimaginable!!!! So if anyone would like to share any memories or even if you, yourself are missing her please feel free to use this sight to express yourself. God knows all, sees all and is the great comforter and healer! May He give you even a portion of the peace He has given me!
