That was a beautiful honor to your son. Shana - I'm so sorry for you - I've been thinking of you every day and wishing I could do something to help ease your pain. I know the road ahead seems insurmountable, but please know that there are so many of us out there who love you and are thinking of you. Your whole family is in my prayers and I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
I am so sorry you and yours are having this tough time. I'm a new reader so I have only skimmed the last month or so of your blog. Was this the cause of a simple ear and throat infection gone terribly wrong? Again, I am so sorry your sweet baby boy was taken from you.
Shana, that was absolutely beautiful. Thalon is so loved by everyone who's life he touched. My heart is just absolutely broken for all of you. Sending much love and strength.xoxo
I am so sorry. What a beautiful tribute to beautiful Thalon, a life taken too soon. We have been praying for you every night, even though you know nothing of us.
Nobody should have to write an obituary for their infant. What a beautiful baby...I am so sorry he was called from you too soon.
I can't stop thinking of you and your family. I have a huge lump in my throat just imagining how you must feel. There is nothing I can say in this little box that is going to make you feel any better. I will simply pray that you feel God's healing touch in your life sometime soon. Peace.

So beautiful, Shana. I'm sorry you had to write it at all. I'm thinking about you, Rich and your girls and sending all of you lots of love, hugs and good thoughts. I'll be thinking of you extra hard tomorrow, too. Please take care of yourself.
That was so sweet, and the picture is just precious. You were a wonderful mother to Thalon and will continue to be for your girls. I am thinking of you all.
Beautiful words for a beautiful boy. Well done, Shana. Our hearts are with you and I know that everyone who has shared your life here will be thinking of you and praying for you tomorrow.
I found you through Redneck Mommy and I can't stop thinking about you and your family. I am so very very very sorry that Baby Thalon passed away. It is unimaginable and horrible and sucks ass and I want to wrap you up in the biggest cyber hug out there because I really don't know what to say. "I'm sorry" doesn't even scratch the surface. Big hugs Shana.
Shana, that was perfect. I wish with all my heart that you were writing one of your hilarious blog posts instead of remembrances of your child. Nobody should have to write remembrances of their children. I am thinking of you guys all the time, and am going to plant something lovely in my backyard garden tomorrow duing your service in memory of Thalon. I promise you that I won't forget about him.
I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful boy he is. How terrible it is when one so young is taken so suddenly. I pray you will find peace in the days ahead.
Again, I am so sorry you and your family and friends are going through this, and for your loss. I know there are no words, just know that so many of us are thinking about you.
That is absolutely beautiful and oh, so heartbreaking. Your love for that little man is so evident. I am thinking of you contantly too and holding all of you close.
You have so much love in your heart, it is unspeakable that you have to endure this. I think about you all constantly, I pray for healing. I will be at my church tomorrow at 9am Pacific, lighting a candle for Thalon and praying.
I am a fairly recent reader of your blog. I know that there isn't anything that anyone can say to help you through this, but please know there are so many of us who are pulling for you and your family.
My heart breaks for you... Again I am a total stranger to you as I just followed a link from another blog but my thoughts and prayers with you, your family, your sweet little baby.
You are in my prayers..I've also added you to a list of bloggers who need all the prayers they can get.
Many prayers for strength and healing are being sent your way..although I know that none of these words will help you in your grief..just know that you're being held up in others thoughts and prayers.
I did not know you, but as a mother I am aching for you. So sorry for the sudden loss of your sweet son. I am praying for strength for you and your family. If there's anything we can do for you, please let the Twitter world know.
Beautifully said. So sorry. Thinking of you....
