3.28.26 Goodbye

Aimee passed away late last night. When I am ready I will come back to share about her amazing last day and her beautiful death. Truly I could not have laid out her final day more sweetly. For now, here is Ed’s final letter to Aimee that he read to her just minutes before she died.

Goodbye Aimee 

Aimee Starla DeVoe “Beloved Star”. You are so loved by so many. Your legacy will last for generations to come. I am so proud to be your dad. What a gift it has been to have been chosen to care for you. I had no idea what a gift I was given when you were born. We have fought for your life from the day you were born. I would do it all again if it meant to get to hear you laugh, hold you when you cry and have you fall asleep on my chest. 

You will be greatly missed, words cannot describe how much you will be missed. I can’t imagine what life will be like without you. You are the heart and soul of our family, the center stone that everything is built on. You have constantly reminded us of what is most important in life. Family is the most important. Being together, holding each other, supporting each other, caring for one another is the most important. 

I am so excited for you to be free. Free from this world, all the pain and sickness. It feels as though you have been trapped in this body. You have never complained but instead you found joy. Your joy is what makes me so excited for you. Each time you laughed it was a glimpse of what heaven must be like. I can only imagine what it will be like for you to walk by HIS side. 

I don’t want you to go but you must go. It is your time to shine in HIS presence. Time to be with your Father in heaven. I can’t imagine letting you go but who better to care of you than the one who created you. Lord Jesus please take care of my girl. She is so precious. We have done our very best to care for her here. 

Goodbye Aimee, I love you so much. Be free

Love your dad.
