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.
Praying your family is comforted by all the wonderful memories of Aimee and the joy in knowing she is pain free in the arms of Jesus! ♥️ She will truly be missed!

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful words you shared with Aimee as she passed. I can just imagine her dancing, running and being free, what joy she's experiencing. Ed and Rose you've been the most amazing parents, Don and I admire you two for your steadfast care and abundant love all these years. Your family is in our prayers as you navigate life without your dear Aimee. Love & hugs, Don and Kim
ReplyDeleteEd and Rosa I am so sad that Aimee is no longer here, but also happy and excited for her. I can just see her dancing and singing and twirling with Jesus. Doing all the things her little heart wanted to do for years. Ed and Rosa you were and are amazing parents. What you had to do was so hard', but also rewarding. I know Aimee is so proud to have you as her mom and dad. I know you were picked especially for Aimee.
ReplyDeleteSuch love! So proud of you both. So proud to know you. Yes, Aimee, be free. We'll see you on the 25th.
