Dear Family and Friends,
Your support and love at this time means a great deal to our family. Your letters, emails, blog posts and sweet packages have brought smiles and comfort. I wish I had more time to personally call or write each of you, to thank you for the love and help you are blessing us with. Because of your prayers Brian and I feel that this heavy burden to carry has been lifted off our shoulders. We have been given the strength and patience required to care for our Sarah and maintain a healthy, happy household with all three children. Please know that your kind words and acts of love do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. I have prayed in your behalf that the Lord will pour out blessings upon each one of you for the service, the compassion you have shown us.
Much love and appreciation,
Christine

Christine,
Our prayers are with your family and beautiful sweet little girl.
Being a brand new mother, six years ago, I always looked up to your example of love, service, and kindess when we were in the same ward for a short time.
Know that we are thinking of you.
Love, Anne Reeve
Sweet Christine,
We welcome little Caroline to the world. We are so grateful she has arrived to add another piece of Heaven to your home. Yet another angel to lift and to comfort.
We can't wait to see beautiful pictures of her. We love all 6 of you!
Christine, After hearing about your horrible news from my brother Dave Koch, I just had to write and let you know that we have thought alot about your family, and our prayers are with you! I wish there was something more I could say or do - that could help you more!
Don't be afraid to ask for help!
AND God Bless your darling family and sweet little Sarah, she's been blessed with being born into a beautiful, caring, eternal family and thank goodness we have the knowledge of the gospel to help us through these unbearable times!!!

Brian and Christine, we are so sorry to hear about Sarah. We have been thinking about you ever since we found out, and praying for you every prayer. It was such a treat for me to meet Sarah for the first time at Greg's wedding and I already can tell how much she will be missed in yours and our family. I just saw Carrie's post about baby Caroline! What a blessing during this hard time. We love you guys and are thinking of you always.
Love,
Martha (Hullinger) & Adam Ware
Congrats on the new baby Caroline. I can't imagine making the decisions that you and Brian have had to make, but I am glad you have peace with your decision. Enjoy all of your time with Sarah. We miss you guys and hope to see you again in the future.
My friend Heatherann sent a link to your blog and i just want you to know that your sweet little sarah and your family are in our prayers!
Christine and family,
Without having experienced it, one can only remotely imagine the weight of decision under which you have labored regarding little Sarah. I am happy to know, however, that even with the certain sadness of your final resolution, a divinely granted peace and patience will make your finals moments sweet. My prayers are with you, as is one more witness that "final," of course, is not final at all.

Christine,
I am touched in many ways by what you are experiencing and sharing. My heart sank at some aspects, yet it was inspired by others. Shelby and I have you in our thoughts and prayers at this time. May you continue in joy and peace in the days to come and the tender mercies of our savior enfold you.
Love,
Jim Caldwell
Christine,
I just got the email from the other girls about sweet Sarah. Not knowing what to say I just wanted to send my love. Please know that I am thinking of you and your beautiful family at this time. Love, Tami Foulger
