My heart was so broken seeing news of Peyton’s passing on Peyton’s Angels, that I have been following since it began, by learning of it from my friend Kara. As a twin mom, I this hit me hard and I cried the whole evening after seeing the status. I’ve never met you all, but I feel so impacted by your journey over the last year, and I can share that it has definitely helped me appreciate my girls all the more than I already did. You will be in my prayers during this difficult time. My heart breaks for you all. *HUGS*
I just met you a couple of times, Peyton, but you were full of love and charisma as a babe. I’m sure that your personality was a shining star for everyone, and particularly your Mom and Grandmother. Blessings & Love–Perhaps, someday, we will meet again…
Peyton was a 5 year little boy that I never met, living in MN, never meeting you all, my heart hurt when I read the FB message on Tuesday. I pray for all of you, to feel comfort and some sort of peace during this time of grieving. I pray for Stillman, because his world had change in the blink of an eye. Lord, please comfort this loving family. God Bless you ALL
Even though we never knew Peyton, we wish to extend our deepest sympathy. What a great little man! He is so precious in God’s eyes and may God comfort your aching hearts.
I am so sorry for your loss. Peyton is with the the angels and will always be with you. Again I am so sorry!
I heard of Peyton through an email. I earnestly pray for God to give you peace. I have a son the same age as yours and I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling. Your son looks so similar to my Cooper. In these dark days, may your hearts be encouraged that the love of Jesus is so great and somehow, someway, he will carry you through this valley. My heart grieves with you. It has caused me this morning to reflect on Cooper’s life. God will bless.
