Heather and Mike Spohr’s daughter Madeline Alice died yesterday, April 7, 2009.

If the sheer power of twitter and internet could heal broken hearts and bring Maddie back, she would be here as strong as Wonder Woman.

From Serenity Now Sunday – March 29, 2009

The words communion, commune, community all come from the same root. We are members of a community. (Whether we like it or not, sometimes.) If we RE-peat, RE-run or RE-do, we do something again. When we RE-member someone, we are, in a way, being with them again. Even the Big JC talked about it ?¢‚Ǩ?ìDo this for the remembrance of me?¢‚Ǩ¬ù (BCP, p. 362) Re-Member.

This morning, take a moment with me to remember . . . no matter how much time we had with the people we loved, they were important, they are important. They matter.

And so do we.

The serenity here is that we can all be together in this. Never alone. There is nothing we have to face without the hand of a friendly companion here in the 704.

We all matter here.”

Please Give.

  2. Precious post, friend…your heart speaks loudly. I see worlds being rocked–how can they not when a child loses her life??–but there’s beauty amidst the tragedy.

    And so, I, too…remember.

    This was beautifully put, and this post was a touching tribute. Isn’t it incredible how this little angel has touched so many lives?

    Thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting on my comment to Heather. It’s so hard to find the right words to say, and I struggle every time I leave a comment. I just want her to know that people are still thinking of them every day.
